Was in Coquitlam for a tournament and looking for places to eat near Coquitlam Center. There are so many places to eat including the food court in Coquitlam Center. I was in a group of four and they decided they wanted to go to Cora's. We were seating immediately and given menus. I opted for the ham benny $15 special. Service was brutal. It took 45 minutes for my breakfast to make it to the table. Even after we twice asked where our food was. The presentation was nice but the taste was nothing special. It was not a positive food experience and I have no plans to return to Cora's. read more

I tried their $12 Delight promotion today and it absolutely was. I've noticed lately that when I'm dining alone, restaurants tend to try to upsell me, often quite assertively and sometimes rather misleadingly. I am happy to say that I felt respected and welcomed at Cora's. The servers were attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious. The fact that practically all their dishes include fresh fruit very much appreciated. When I heard their radio ad promotion, I was skeptical because a $12 meal at a sit down establishment that is not fast food sounded too good to be true. But there were no strings attached :) That is rare in our current culture. Getting back to my meal, I ordered their Ben Edict from their $12 Delight selection and true to their radio ads, a substantial meal consisting of 2 eggs Benedict with bacon, hash brown potatoes and fresh fruit arrived at my table. A staff member checked in on me three times to make sure I was doing ok, I was offered a coffee top-up three times as well. Amazing. Thank you also for not asking me that intrusive, phony question, ..so what's happening for the rest of the day? With coffee, the bill came to under $17. After such great service, how can anyone skip the tip? read more

Man, I hate writing bad reviews but this one just can't slide. I placed an order through Uber Eats for 6 breakfasts and there was no option online to ask for two minor alterations to keep a couple kids happy, so I called the restaurant immediately after placing the order. One change was removing the banana from a crepe, the other was to include a small container of hazelnut spread for a child to spread on his French toast. The employee I spoke to said she didn't think that would be possible but put me on hold to confirm, which I was sure the owner / manager would be smart enough to make this happen. I was wrong. The employee came back and said they could put the bananas on the side but there was no way to do a small (we're talking the size of a small jam) hazelnut spread on a $140 order. To be clear, I wasn't asking to get it for free and even said, I could bring them cash the next time I drove by, give them my credit card number and even suggested doing a second order for something like a side of toast to cover the cost. But no, the only solution was to cancel the order completely and I come and pick it up. So, my 28 minute deliver from a food delivery app, had now turned into a 40 minute round trip for me. The kids were starving, so I said, okay let's do this (shaking my head and biting my lip the whole time). When I arrive, around 9:45 AM, I'm assuming one of the reason for the bad service is they are probably busy and don't really care about my order. To my surprise, the place is dead on a nice weather Saturday morning, which makes me think, I'm not the first person to have a nonsense experience at this location. Before leaving with our food (and leaving a tip, what was I thinking?), I asked if one of the crepes had the bananas on the side and if the small hazelnut was included. I was reassured everything was perfect. When I got home and saw the Hazelnut, which was almost comical because they charged $4.25 for it, it becomes apparent that they had forgot to put the hazelnut spread in the two hazelnut and banana crepes .... we got two boxes with just crepes in them. I called back to ask WTF and the same employee put me on hold to go talk to the kitchen and came back and said they got really confused because we asked for the bananas on the side of one of the crepes so forgot to put in the hazelnut spread for the two crepes. Now the kids are starving so we decided to divide up the pathetic "extra hazelnut" we did get and get on with our day. The employee said she was awfully sorry but if I would make another 40 minute round trip they would give me some hazelnut "for free", to which I reminded her that I already paid for the hazelnut. We decided to just finished our cold average breakfast and wrote it off as a chain restaurant with a bad culture that probably flows down from the manager or owner operator. This location need to train their staff to put the customer first. This all happened because they wanted to charge $4.25 for 50 cents worth of hazelnut spread (which I offered to pay for!!!). They have been around for many years so hopefully they can wise up and change the culture there. With a 3 Star (and dropping) rating on Yelp, I'm not holding my breath. read more

Cora - Hazelnut sent for three meals to share for an additional $4.25. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

This is a solid choice for well-made breakfast, with loads of options for all tastes and allergies. We have been here...mmm... 6 or 8 times since the lockdowns... and the food is fresh, eggs are perfectly prepared to order (nothing as bad as a breakfast restaurant that can't poach an egg right!) The staff are lively, cheerful, funny and efficient. Good coffee,too. read more

After my coworker gave rave reviews for the Cora Restaurants, I have always wanted to try. I finally made it, several years later. I felt safe and comfortable my entire time dining at Cora in Coquitlam. They restaurant had a lot of square footage and available dining spots (some outside on the makeshift patio area). We arrived at the perfect time and spent ten minutes, tops, waiting in line. Signs directed traffic one-way through the restaurant. Plastic partitions were set up between tables/booths, all staff wore masks and the menu was digital. The restaurant was busy, but never did it feel suffocating. The only anxiety we experienced was trying to decide what to order for brunch, there were so many great choices. The boyfriend settled for "Paul Wants it All" and I eventually settled on the Sunshine Panini-Crepe. I have a preference for a more savory (vs sweet) breakfast meal, and this did not disappoint! The cheese was perfectly melted, paired with the not too oily bacon and eggs wrapped in crepe perfection. There was a generous helping of fruit on the side so it made me feel like this was a healthy choice. Selfishly, I did wish there to be potato wedges included (or even an add-on option), but I could not have it all. The boyfriend on the other hand, did go with "Paul Wants it All". I tried a bite of his waffle with fruit and mouth watering cream. One of the better waffles I've had. Overall, this place is a win. A good modest place for breakfast/brunch/lunch with generous portions and prices that are reasonable. Going back again is worth it even just to try more menu items. read more

The Cora Breakfast Restaurant is located on Lougheed Hwy, in Coquitlam. There are many restaurants and shops in this area. So, people could easy to find this restaurant and park cars. We always passed this restaurant on our way grocery shopping in Coquitlam Center. My family and friends have been to this location for the breakfast twice since we moved to the city of Port Coquitlam. Due to COVID 19, the Cora Breakfast Restaurant doesn't have a paper menu. Once you are in the restaurant, you can use your cell phone to screen the codes on the wall access the digital menu, which is very cool. But, it will be harder for seniors. My husband ordered Surprise, which is made by egg, ham or bacon and swiss cheese sandwich dipped in French toast batter and served with fresh fruit. My friend had Louis the Undecided, 2 eggs, bacon and potatoes served with a scrumptious crepe filled with bananas, strawberries, and creamy cocoa-hazelnut spread. For me, my most favorite dish at the Cora is still Smoked salmon, poached eggs on an English muffin covered with hollandaise sauce served with potatoes and fresh fruit. All the dishes come with fresh fruits. Very yummy and healthy. The price of the food is not too cheap, but reasonable with a large portion. All the food at the Cora Restaurant is healthy and delicious. I enjoyed my breakfast there. read more

Great for a traditional breakfast, but with a little food art. This place really knows how to make good breakfast meals, including Eggs Benedict, pancakes, breakfast meats (bacon, sausages, etc). Staff are extremely friendly and will consistently check on you, even when your coffee cup is halfway. Also, they have a stamp card which can be accrued for freebies in the future! read more

What I like about Cora: 1. Always popular and busy on the weekend 2. Seemingly healthy food 3. Good service What I have questions about Cora? 1. Why everything so sweet? 2. Why so much fruit? 3. Is it really healthy? Popular place for family with kids for weekend brunch. "Wholesome healthy affair. Decent service and ok value. It is worth a "try". read more

It was Sunday super busy but definitely worth the wait. Waffle were great super great taste and fresh. Definitely coming again

I love this Cora's for breakfast because there are so many creative and healthy options! Given that I am from Montreal where the chain was started, I love feeling close to home. I have tried many locations but this is the closest to home for me and the waitresses are so attentive and the food is so fresh. read more

I. Disclaimer: I have not been compensated for writing this review in any way shape or form by anyone II. Overall: LOVELY !! You won't find a better Breakfast and Brunch Place in PoCo or anywhere within 1/2 hr driving distance. Lovely Fresh Food, Lovely People, Hopping Place.. III. The Food: We ordered quite a few items including Fruit & Waffles, Egg White Omelette, 10 Star Omelette and everything was made on site, fresh and You could TASTE how fresh everything was across the board. The fruits were freshly cut, You can see them cracking fresh eggs and making all the egg dishes. There was no oily residue in the eggs and the bread was freshly cut from the Loaf as well. The Guys Know How to Do It Right !! IV. Service and Ambience: This was our third visit to this location and not a single bad experience with Service. The Server was super kind and understanding, explained everything very well and stopped by multiple times to check in and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is ALWAYS hopping and the establishment may look small from the entrance but as soon as You walk in, there's tens of tables and there's always a line of people waiting to get in. This is the kind of place like the Sammamish Cafe, where You bring Your family in on a Saturday or Sunday for a nice hearty Brunch, get treated well and don't feel nauseous because the quality of food is that good. I plan to eat here whenever I am in that area !! read more

The quality of food was great, and the restaurant was very bright and lively. read more

Somewhat disappointed at how expensive it is for a subpar breakfast. It's similar to Ihop but with more fruits which I didn't really eat because most of it was not ripe (nor organic.) My Benny's was okay and my friend's Western omelette was dry and lacked any noticeable cheese. A side order of two small pancakes were $9!!! And I can tell it's made from a mix. For two people it came to $50 including tax and tip. I've been spoiled by Redwagon and other non-chain eateries which are far better than this chain. I cannot understand the lack in taste from these high raters. Too expensive for little quality. Service is the only good thing going for them. read more

Location: has parking in the strip mall type environment but can get very busy on weekend, many restaurants and shops beside it. Parking lot gets full on weekend. Ambiance: fun fun fun , colorful, cheery, yellow walls, fruits on the counter when you first enter. Colorful pinned on various cartoon decorations. Sooo happy and perfect for families and kids of all ages!! You will smile, lights up your day this smiley decor. Service: on the day we went, vast majority of young highschool and college age servers, mostly females. They are nice and very efficient as it is very fast paced at brunch/lunch time on the weekends. Our service was super nice and very efficient!! Add: you get the bill at your table and pay in the front by the entrance. Separate door to exit from as well. Food: delightfully plated, cheery food. Eggs benedict with tomatoes, bacon and green onions and also burrito crepe, all sooo fresh ingredients and served so quickly as we were tight on time. The fruits with eggs benedict are plated in a smiley manner, see photos...loved the potatoes that were peeled and pan fried, not greasy nor oily. Delightfully cheerful Cora!!! read more

Huge portions and the fruit art is masterful! I love the crepes, waffles and French toast.

If someone asked me to go for brunch, 9 times out 10, I would say "Let's Eat!" Brunch is breakfast for night owls like me and I love breakfast! Luckily, I found myself near Cora's on Lougheed in Coquitlam at 2:30pm today; 30 mins before they closed so I figured I had to rush to maximize my brunching experience. Parked the car in the spacious plaza parking and made a bee line for the door (I figured they can't kick me out once I'm in.) Was sat down in a booth by a real friendly hostess and took our drink orders. I thought I was going to have a typical "trucker's" fare but the cherry pancakes caught my eye. Of all the times I've been to Cora's in Quebec, Ontario and BC, I've never had their pancakes so I was giddy in anticipation. The coffee wasn't fresh and the orange juice was watery. Refreshments were disappointing so I just enjoyed the peace and quiet. (It's normally very loud in the morning and at lunch.) The place is bigger than I remembered and very clean. When my pancakes arrived, my eyes must've popped out just like the cartoons. They were massive, plate-size 3 stack covered in shiny, luscious dark cherry sauce with plenty of fresh pitted Bing cherries. It looked like the birthday cake I always wanted! After breathing in 3 times, I dug in and the pancakes were heavenly. They were soft, fluffy and very light. The sauce was sticky and surprisingly not sweet which was how I preferred it. The cherries were very fresh; skin still had a crunch and the insides were firm and sweet with a bit of tart (where did they get them!) I was able to eat half and dreamt of eating the other half on my way home. By the by, I also ordered pork sausages on the side but they were just ok. Tasty....must come back more often. read more

Cora - Pancakes with cherry sauce. The best pancakes I've ever had. Merci, Cora! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

One of my go to places for breaky in the Tri Cities. Place is quality in terms of food. What sets it apart from a lot of chain restaurants and other small breakfast joints is the fresh fruit on the side of your plate. I mean honestly... Who doesn't like having fresh fruit on the side to wake you up in the AM. Nothing I've had here has ever disappointed me. Just be careful with the add ons though, it can get pricey. A lot of seating for big groups, and also outside seating for the warmer summers. Things to be warned of though... 1) Can get very busy which makes for a long wait. They are quite staffed, but when rush hour kicks in on weekend mornings it takes a while for servers to get to you. 2) Gets pricey fast. I like breakfast, but don't have it often. It feels like I spend at least 25 bucks on just myself lol. You can go to another place for half that price. read more

Eh it's okay. Only had one gluten free options and it wasn't even good. The Menus were dirty but staff was kind.

Quick to get in Saturday morning. Quick friendly service. Large open restaurant means a fair bit of background noise. Eggs Benedict with ham very good. I prefer shredded potatoes but their roast potatoes were very good. And so much fruit. That was the kicker. You'll enjoy this place overall. read more

I went here two Sundays in a row! The first sunday I was here around 10am. The line to wait was not very long. We were seated in less than 10 minutes. The next Sunday was mother's day and ofcourse there were lots of people. We were seated in 30 minutes which is what they told us after we put our name on the wait-list. It just gave us time to look at the menu and see what we wanted to order. I have gotten the eggs benedict here and the crepe omelete. I liked both a lot! The eggs benedict came with some potates which were delicious. The benedict itself was not anything special. I just haven't had it in so long so it satisfied my craving. The crepe omelete which I got the second time I was there was filling. I love how everything comes with fruits! Strawberries, kiwi, bananas and more. We also ordered a fruit shake. I wouldn't get it again. It was strawberry-banana if I remember correctly. Nothing special. Try to come early so you can beat the rush! I will definitely be coming her again and again. So many food items to still try. :) read more

I. Love. Cora. I had heard so much about Cora before finally coming and trying it out. We were promptly greeted at the door. The restaurant serves only breakfast and lunch and it's decor reflects that. It is bright, colourful and lively. What I love most about Cora is htat almost every dish includes a side of fresh fruit. Now, not very many restaurants serve fresh fruit and those who do, do it as a garnish. As a result, the quality of the fruit suffers. At Cora, however, they know how to pick fruit! Fruit is sweet and at the perfect stage of ripeness when served. If you have kids who don't like eating fruit, bring them here! Many dishes serve the fruit in a very creative and beautiful presentation. Your kids will be intrigued! We ordered: - The Ham and Egg Wrap: The wrap was crisp like it it had been in a panini press and the inside was soft with ham, eggs and cheese. This was served with a side of fresh fruit. Perfect! - The Bobby Button crepe: Warning, this is a very large portion! The crepe is stuffed with veggies and sausage, and this is served with a side of roasted potato and fresh fruit. The roasted potato is the best. I have no idea how they make it or with what, but it is delicious! We love coming here for brunch! read more

As soon as I walked in we greeted nicely by the waitress. Thank God we went in on a Monday, we were seated immediately. The menu looked so good and had a hard time trying to decide what I wanted. There were a few things I wanted from there, but thought the price wasn't worth it. The yogurt harvest crunch caught my attention, but I wasn't going to pay about $10 for granola, yogurt and fruit. So I went with the a type of hash (posted a picture of it) It was pretty good, but a little greasy. The portion was perfect. I also got to try the chocolate and banana crepe. The crepe was nice and chewy how I like, but the size was gigantic! It looked like they stuffed it with a billion bananas, too much, there wasn't a balance in it, made me feel like a monkey lol. The 3 of us (my sisters and I) couldn't finish it all. I also tried the mocachino which was topped with yummy whip cream. I tried a bite of the crepe ham and cheese panini which was good as well, and it came with a generous side of fruit. This place didn't wow me, but if I happen to be in the area, I might consider coming back. read more

I was in the area and wanted a place to go for breaky while my car got work done to it and this place came up with many great reviews. Well so far they are unable to replace anything like potatoes and toast for fruit or veggies without charging $3.75 for fruit!! Hmmm I didn't realize that fruit would cost so much! I guess toast and potatoes aren't worth anything? So with that in mind and my quest to find healthier options for breakfast I order a plain omelette no cheese and spinach! For just under $11 it better damn well be huge, fresh and awesome! Hubby ordered 7th of July. I give them 1 star for menu flexibility as I'm sure kitchen staff aren't so stupid that they can't make substitutions! My breakfast arrives and I'm happy to see its not just an omelette sitting on a plate by itself. They added two strawberries and some grapes to make it pretty. Unfortunately they added cheese when I specifically asked for NO cheese. No matter, after it cooled, it was easy enough to scrape off. Hubby's breakfast looked as good as he says it tastes, a veritable sugar smorgasborg! So if you want a healthy breakfast and flexibility in your order don't come here, if you love crepes, and sugar then by all means enjoy! Oh hubby's platter is big enough to share, it is fresh. Mine was a skimpy omelette...just saying. Bon appetite! read more

So I like this place for its ample fruit habitation on my plate. A good breakfast should include too much fruit. It's no surprise this place has I line Sunday morning because where else is a family and early morning non hung-overs going to get a ample fruit breakfast out in Coquitlam. I do think it's funny we drove from downtown Vancouver to end up eating here. One thing I would like to note about this place that needs no introduction is that because it was so busy the Manager so graciously started helping clear tables and set table as well. At the same time he must not remember his food safe training because he was touching the food to mouth part of each utensil he layer down while in between grab small garbage from the ground. The good thing is he only set a few table settings. As usual every restaurant experience is eat at your own risk because you are putting a lot of trust in many different people who contribute to your eating experience. And this was a reminder of that. But I do like my good old fruit on my morning plate. Thanks Lady Cora. read more

Love the food and helping. Staff is pleasant and cheerful. Best time is early morning before it gets really busy.

Cora is great! I love coming here for breakfast but definitely smart to try to get there early. If you get there later in the morning there's usually a line up and you'll have to wait for a table. I like that they have a nice variety of breakfast foods. My boyfriend likes big, savoury breakfasts and I prefer lighter, healthier breakfasts and we both have lots of choices on Cora's menu. He had the omelette burger and I had a smoothie bowl and we both really enjoyed our meals. Our waitress was great and was really on top of it with coffee, tea and water refills. read more

Here at experience the only drawback was wait at the door. Very disorganized with front staff. Everything from there on was amazing. "Tess" was a fantastic and energetic server with a ton of personality. Very refreshing on a Sunday morning. The food was exactly what I thought except the portion sizes were huge!! The menu is fun and inviting. Atmosphere is energetic. Definitely a return visit in the near future. Think De Dutch but more Waffle House flare. Could be considered a bit pricey though. Average breaky is $13 plus. read more
