  This place is great.   Food is absolute deliciousness.  Nice seaside country feel.  Just a little quiet hang out spot in the middle of a nice little neighborhood.  It has cool things to buy along with the tasty food.  It also has a ton of neat soda pops.

  Good food at reasonable prices, in a neighborhood friendly setting. If I lived close by, I would definitely come by often just to try the different types of sodas on hand. They do cater to the nostalgic, as they have sodas and candies not found in current convenience stores. Prices reflect that, but I'm sure they pay a premium to find these products.
  
  Anyway, my GF, mom and I were on our way to see Amaluna which is a temp Cirque du Soleil show in San Predators and running late, so we ditched out original plans for a sit down meal and searched Yelp for a quicker option. This was a bit out of our way, but seemed to fit the bill. Service was polite, but can tell she was a new employee and the owner/manager had to step in from her break to help out/correct some her. That aside, service was good enough and certainly polite.
  
  Food - we each selected the 1/2 sandwich soup or salad combo and coincidentally all went with tuna as our sandwich, but on different types of bread. Tuna was delish, but pretty basic. Just a touch of mayo. I really didn't taste anything else. Bread was soft and fresh. Not homemade, but fresher than the stuff I get at the market.
  
  Stand out for me was the soup. The days option was mushroom Brie bisque. I love cream of mushroom and this was an elevated version of that. Nice hints of cheese and the cognac or ingredient to make it a "bisque" was present and pleasant. My GF ordered the same, but she expected more cheese flavor than mushroom (she's not a fan of mushroom, so not sure why she ordered except for the promise of cheese :) and wasn't as delighted but ate it all just the same. Mom ordered the salad and it was pretty basic.
  
  All in all, it was a pleasant detour with a good meal so have to give it four stars. If they provide a few more options to liven up the sandwich or offer hot sauces to spice up the soup, I think I would give it another star but only one dish really stood out as one I couldn't or wouldn't make myself, which was the soup. Everything else, I think I can make or get just about anywhere which is why I can't go above four stars.

  The Corner Store is an amazing spot absolutely delicious food. My only regret is not trying a hamburger here sooner. I've also really enjoyed trying different specials lately. It's a real through corner market with delicious food you won't be disappointed. The character and charm make this spot even sweeter. This is a neighborhood hang out for some people. There are sofas and group seating and individual tables outside patio dining also dog friendly with water bowl :-) really good desserts beer and the best soda selection and San Pedro I'm just guessing but they have to have more than 100 sodas even maple bacon flavored soda :-) LOL yes I tried it it was better than expected. Definitely a fun place to try something new or something you haven't had in a long time like a diet Jolt cola I dare you to try one it's like 5 cups of coffee at once :-)

  More than 10 years later, I'm still comin' back.  Mostly for hot dogs (cuz you can take the girl outta Chicago but can't take Chicago outta the girl).
  
  Today, Sunday afternoon, I stopped in to buy a t-shirt to benefit the 25th Street mural project.  With tax it was like 27 bucks, and all the money goes to the project.  Thanks, Corner Store!
  
  I gotta mention the selection of toys in this place.  Stuffed animals, cool puzzles, wooden toys, musical books, & more....you could do all your holiday shopping for little kiddos right here.
  And there's original art for sale, too.
  
  And if you want old-school soda in glass bottles....well, there's a whole wall of it.
  
  Their sandwiches are great.  Staff is friendly.
  No wonder the place was packed.
  
  Quirky-cool is what Pedro's all about & Corner Store does not disappoint.
  
  Free street parking everywhere in surrounding residential area.

  Vegan & Gluten Free Options !!
  So great that they are offering them as so few places in San Pedro do.
  They have a variety of vegan sandwiches available, and GF bread is an option now as well.
  
  We love the local bread, chips & salsas sold there also.
  We often go for a walk with our pup and have a bite on a patio.
  I usually get the 'Slim Sailor' on GF bread (ask for no cheese!)
  Portions are not large, and priced fairly & accordingly.
  
  They tend to only have 1 or 2 people working, so a line can happen, and there is usually a bit of wait for the food. But they have a patio you can wait on, or some cozy seating inside.
  
  The only thing that I think could use some improvement is the outdoor patio furniture is quite dinky and could use an upgrade, especially since it's a great place to wait for your food!
