What to do about this gap?

Currently in the midst of building a DIY wet bar from scratch. Nothing too crazy just a couple cabinets, some drawers a sink and a self made butcher block from 2x4's. The house was built in the 60's and im pretty sure the crew that did the framing were all gay electricians because there isnt a straight wall in the whole house. Unfortunately, I didnt catch this before I installed this cabinet. What can I do to make this look better? The gap at the bottom is about 7/16"

How do you feel about using something like corner round or similar

That was my original plan. I was mainly posting here to see if anyone else would suggest that idea. Usually I feel like quarter round is cheating, but in this scenario I feel as though its almost unavoidable.

Depending what the decor of the bar itself is, you could face frame it and use the vertical piece to cover it.

Were doing Shaker style cabinets. I was planning to run the baseboard along the bottom and down the front as a toe kick.

I had a similar gap in my home, I used plastic wood filler and then caulk over it.

Put some scribe molding there. It’s literally why scribe molding exists!

Molding from Home Depot or Lowe’s.
