at the corner
Where streets meet
At the corner indicates a position where two streets meet or where two edges of something join: There's a coffee shop at the corner of Main and Oak, She waited at the corner for the bus.
The phrase suggests a specific point rather than a general area, distinguishing it from "on the corner," which implies standing or being situated there more broadly.
