How about some cinnamon cream cake or a panini to go?

The popular fast-casual chain Corner Bakery Cafe opened a restaurant Monday at 1410 Precinct Line Road in Hurst. It’s the chain’s first drive-thru restaurant in Texas.

The first 100 customers will get a travel mug and free “hand-roasted” coffee for a year. There will also be giveaways of free paninis or a side of pancakes for a year, according to a news release.

“We wanted to offer the residents of Hurst our latest prototype that has the added convenience of a drive thru to fit their busy lifestyle,” said Donna Josephson, chief marketing officer for the Corner Bakery.

Besides the drive thru, the restaurant has a patio and an area where customers can pick up their online orders.

Hurst’s executive director of economic development, Steve Bowden, said the Corner Bakery is a welcome addition to the city’s 130 restaurants.

“We are very excited to now have the renowned Corner Bakery restaurant group open their latest prototype in our city,” he said.
