Cornerstone

Whether you’re after a leisurely brunch, a quick coffee, a gourmet takeaway option or High Tea, Como's Cornerstone café serves up fresh, seasonal fare in a beautiful historic setting.

Entered via grand iron gates on Como Avenue, Cornerstone is located in the middle of Como House’s grounds and European-inspired community garden, dating back to 1847. Cornerstone is a charming extension of the rich heritage of the estate, reminiscent of Parisian café culture and transporting guests through a picturesque setting.

Flexible in offering between a market-style grab-and-go concept to an all-day sit-down café experience, Cornerstone by Curtis Stone Events is a place that the local community can feel at home.

Enhance your visit with a Guided House or Garden Tour and explore our National Trust Gift Shop, filled with local artisan wares and heritage-inspired gifts.
