It was my first time eating here and I didn't have the best experience. All I can say is that my food took damn long. I came around 130 so not too busy as there were many empty seats around me. I ordered the strawberry pancakes and my boyfriend ordered the eggs benedict. 10 min go by after we placed our order and I notice pancakes on the counter just laying there, at this point I'm pretty excited because I'm about to eat....I was wrong. Another 15 minutes go by and at this point I'm wishing it isn't mine because who the hell wants cold pancakes, right !? Well turns out it was mine and was served a few more minutes along with my boyfriend breakfast whose plate was on the counter for 10 minutes waiting. Our plates were cold and not that appetizing, which sucks because I really wanted to like this place. However I gave it two stars just because our server was nice. read more

Simple brunch spot. Came here with a friend because it was nearby. Nothing fascinating, but food was overall alright. The service could be a bit slow. Won't be back unless in the area. read more

Cora - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I have been to numerous breakfast places, and have come here multiple times. I have been craving Yoghurt lately and this time I find the Yoghurt bowl really dry. They refused to add more Yoghurt to my Yoghurt bowl and asked me to buy more instead. Gees, if I were to buy more, I would go to Menchies next door where there are way more Yoghurt flavors. They swore by their portions and just refused to budge. It is not about your portions, but any what your customer experiences that meal based on the presented food. Just a bit more Yoghurt is not something worth fighting over. I left very unhappy. read more

Cora - Very dry Yoghurt bowl. They refused to add more and asked me to buy more instead. Totally pissed. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Not a bad place to grab brunch. Lots of items with fresh fruit, which is a plus. It's a chain, so don't expect to be blown away by the food, but I've enjoyed most of my meals here. The western omelette is pretty good. The service is friendly and excellent, which is the biggest plus for this restaurant. My main complaint is that the tables near the front are freezing in the winter, despite having a double door system. My secondary complaint is just how busy this restaurant is on the weekend, but you can't fault them for that. read more

Very over priced. Service is slow like molasses. There are SEVERAL other places in Markham to enjoy a proper balanced breakfast, at a much cheaper price at that! Avoid like a plague. read more

Food Quality & Price: I ordered the Spinach and Cheddar Crepeomlette with Hollandaise Sauce. It was delicious! Freshly made to order with lots of fresh fruit on the side. The food look EXACTLY as shown in the photos on the menu. Prices of each "brunch" dish is between $10 - $15. Tea costs $2.45 but that's with unlimited "hot water". Facility: Warm, clean, brightly lit. Ambiance is quite noisy though (Sunday around noon) and the place is pretty packed. Utensils were clean, trouble finding some parking in the plaza. Service: Great service. The host/manager was very kind, seated us quickly and personally came to say good bye. Waitress was kind and efficient. She also offered information up front "Would you like any mushroom or cheese on top of your fries? It tastes good but does cost extra." Attentive but not pushy, I was very pleased despite the fact that they were at full capacity. Also has FREE open wifi. Overall: Had a wonderful experience. Hoping that this service and food quality is consistent. For a breakfast/brunch place, definitely met my expectation. Will return soon. read more

Definitely an A-OK place... Just came here with my sis-in-law with 3 small kids. Satisfied all our brunch cravings. - Eggs benny w/ smoked salmon - Omelette - Kids brioche with strawberries - Kids crepe with banana n nutella Bill came up to $45 (incl. Tax n tip). Good food but not great, we got seated pretty fast during the Saturday brunch rush. Friendly service, a little slow, but understandable. read more

While in the GTA visiting family, the parents and I had breakfast at Cora's one morning. The resto had a nice setup; cozy, homey feeling, with the addition of the vibrant images painted on their walls. I absolutely love going out for breakfast however, I had the most difficult time figuring out what to order off their menu! I think their fruit cutting techniques distracted me from my desired pancakes, bacon and eggs. I thought it was unique but in the morning, I like fruit that I can eat and not fruit I don't want to touch to avoid ruining it's beauty. I ended up ordering the Cora's Special, which came with a crepe, four slices of bacon, sausage, ham, two eggs, potatoes and fruit. I'll say that it was a hearty breakfast loaded with meat! I'm more of a bacon guy than sausage but I have to say, that was one piece of great sausage! I wasn't too keen on about the crepe as it was heavy and tasteless. Their coffee was decent; definitely not gourmet but not instant either. Our server was friendly but not that attentive. We had to flag her down several times to get coffee refills and to get the check. Overall, albeit a pricey breakfast for three, it was a different experience. I feel that they need to focus more on the quality of the food than distracting you with their glorified sliced fruit. With that said, we never made it back for a second round of breakfast during our visit. read more

A good place for breakfast. Lots of omelette, waffle, crepe, and egg dishes to choose from. After having been to a number of breakfast joints in US, my parents commented that Cora's dishes "are beautifully presented, look healthier, and taste just as good". This Cora is located in a strip mall at the corner of Warden-Hwy 7. Nothing exciting nor inviting on the outside to draw you in, but once inside, you will find it's sunny, cozy, and often energetically busy. Give it a go! read more

Worst brunhc experience ever! Arrived at 11:30am. We waited for about 5 minutes for our table of 4 but I warn you, the wait could get up to 30-45 minutes if you happen to be in the rush. The area we were seated was super tight, chair budding chair and practically sitting up the table. It took about 10 minutes after we sat down before someone came to take our order. We ordered beverages first and it took the waitress 10 minutes to bring us our coffees. The latte I ordered was spilled all over the saucer, totally messy. Finally when it came time to put in our food order, the waitress was so rushy, she totally had no manners treating us patrons! The food came exactly 30 minutes later, 30 MINUTES for 1 order of omelette, 1 order of breakfast burrito and 1 order of regular eggs/bacon/hash? The food was mediocre and small. Quality vs. value was off. No one came with free coffee refills. Its a loud restaurant but more exciting things were the breaking dishes, MULTIPLE times. After paying, we only put down 10% tips because of the horrible service and the waitress had the guts to glare at us! I could've been totally mean and leave her no tips! Cora's you just lost yourself 4 customers. read more

We went to Cora's this morning, it had been a while since we went there. We only had to wait 2 minutes before being seated. I had the choco-choco crepe ( chocolate crepe with Nutella and fruits. ). My wife had the Cora's special. The portions were big and tasty. The waitress was friendly and came around a few times for coffee refill. The price was a bit more but considering the portion size it was fair. Will come back since my wife wants to try the omelettes. read more

Not really my type of breakfast joint.. I prefer the sausage and eggs, steak and eggs, bacon and eggs..Peameal bacon and eggs... This place's menu is great for yogurt type of breakfast with assorted fruits.. pancakes.. Coffee wasn't all hay great.. Would definitely choose McDonalds over this place any day.. but that's just because I like man food... read more

Just like any other cora's this place is busy, clean with good food. So why the 2 star?? It boils down to customer service. I have a 1yr old so we order off the kids menu. Scrambled eggs and bacon. We asked if we could switch the bacon to turkey bacon... you would think a simple switch would be easy since you can do that with the adult menu. Apparently not .... we were willing to pay for the difference but we weren't able to make a simple switch It seemed like the manager who was running the show was more interested in people coming and going instead of servicing their current people. read more

Good choice for breakfast with a group. The food is always decent and well presented, and service is generally good. I wouldn't say this is my favourite place, but if you feel like a good brunch and don't want to wait in crazy long lineups downtown, then this place is pretty good. read more

The eggs Benedict are wonderful. The hollandaise sauce were rich and creamy. Make sure to ask for caramelized onions on top of the roasted potato wedges. You'll thank me later. This meal alone is 780 calories but well worth it. read more

My go to place for american style breakfast in markham. Large variety of meals offered on their menu. Lots of healthy fruit options as well. I usually go for the Rosemary Breakfast, which comes with eggs, sausage hashbrowns and blueberry pancakes. They are on uber as well so a good option for lockdown. read more

Service is a tad slow. However, the food was good. My favourite thing to get is the Rosemary's Sunday. It's a bit of everything- pancakes, turkey sausages (yes you can replace your bacon for ham or turkey sausages), fruits, and eggs. read more

Don't understand the poor ratings given to this place. I went there on a Sunday morning (10:30am) and it was packed. Needed to wait a couple of minutes to get a seat but the overall process was fine. Sure, the prices are on the expensive end especially for a breakfast (expect around 15 bucks per person before tip and tax) but the quality and choices they offer do justify the price in my opinion. The portions should be good enough for most people (remember, this is a brunch hence it should be "lighter" than a regular lunch). Service was more than fine too. read more

My girlfriends and I like to meet up at Coras for brunch every few Sundays to catch up. The location at Dufferin and Steeles has gone downhill in cleanliness over the years so we decided to make a switch to the Warden and Hwy7 location this time. Cutlery thay is not sticky when you sit down is very refreshing. Once i sat down to wait for my friends i was greeted by my server and offered a beverage to start. I loved the service. Topping up my coffee. Making sure we're okay often but not obnoxiously. The food was okay. I had crepes and bacon. Maybe not the best choice as the crepes were very rubbery like they've been sitting under a heat lamp for a little while but its weird because the food came really quickly. Maybe I'll try the waffle next time or the omelettes. Definitely a place I would return to. read more

Cora's does breakfast right! The restaurant has such a cozy, homey feel to it when you walk in. With simple menu drawings on the wall and the courteous staff, you feel so welcomed. Cora's has so many different options that it may become frustrating, but trust me...you really can't go wrong. We came on 2 separate occasions in three days and I ordered the 1990's harvest and the crepe panini. The 1990's harvest consisted of cinnamon french toast topped with fruit. The cinnamon french toast was just scrumptious and the fruit is always a great touch. Taking a bite of the crepe panini, I definitely found myself saying...winning! Such a creative idea and so tasty! Where Cora really shines is their presentation...quite possibly the most beautiful plates of food I have ever seen. Order one of fresh fruit menu items and you won't want to take a bite of the food and mess up the beautiful design. If I lived in Canada, I would definitely become a regular at Cora's! read more

I can count in one hand how many times I've came to coras. I don't even know why I come back each time. I want to satisfy my craving for breakfast but everytime the meal is always unsatisfying. Over the 5 years I have only witnessed the food quality get worse and worse. Maybe it's this specific coras. But let's just talk about my recent visit. I ordered the coras breakfast which comes with two eggs, bacon, ham, toast, pancake, homefries, and fruits. Home Fries were super dry and in general the meal was just definitely below average. There's so many breakfast joints out there and coras as a franchises doesn't cut it for me. The staff are also super forgetful.... I asked for syrup and peanuts butter 4 times until I finally got what I wanted.... I hate to repeat myself and after my last visit I'm definitely not coming back. read more

Came here yesterday for my birthday brunch. Unfortunately we got molded toast and that was gross!!!! Make sure you guys check your bread before eating it! Otherwise, everything else was pretty standard. Breakfast poutine and smoked salmon benedict was good. Did not like their savory crepes though. Service was ok. read more

There seems to be quite the demand for a homestyle breakfast joint that unlike other greasy spoons, is more family friendly. I get it, i get it. I tried Cora's just out of curiosity really, it's been receiving rave reviews. I ordered my usual, pancakes. I love pancakes, and any breakfast opportunity I get, pancakes are my numero uno choice! The pancakes are HUGE, HUGE I tell you! I don't think I could have finished half of them, even if I wanted to. Got a pour-bottle of real maple syrup and we were off to the races. To tell you the truth, the pancakes weren't that great. Firstly, they weren't hot. Secondly, they were a little flavourless. The fruit on the side, though a nice added touch, it was already too much food as is. I'm not sure if I'd ever go back to Cora's... I heard their bagel sandwiches are pretty good, so maybe that was my biggest flaw.. I just ordered the wrong thing. read more

I came here a few months ago for my friend's birthday party, and would definatly reccommend this location. The portions are pretty big depending on what dish you get. Also the service are fast and efficient. I will probably make a reservation next time as they can get pretty busy on weekends. read more

Breakfast isn't bad, it's very filling but I had an issue with the service and the food. We came here on a weekday and it wasn't very busy. There was one table that was available in the area but it was still dirty, we didn't want a booth for six. When we asked if we could get a cozy area in the other room, the hostess went to ask a server who said no the area was closed. We were moved into another area and it was ok, but one of the tables was wobbly. When we brought it to the hostess'es attention she said she'd be back to put something under neath. She never did. Server wasn't mean but not really pleasant. We had to ask for refills for tea, whereas the dude beside us automatically got his coffee refilled. Food arrived warm not even hot. Food presentation is nice. Wouldn't come here because of the service and food. It's a nice concept but they dropped the ball on this one. read more

Friends and family visited this Cora regularly, never once disappointed. occasionally waiting time was a bit longer when it was full, but the quality and quantity were still met standard. I strongly recommend this place if you crave for a decent breakfast or lunch. Just looking at the menu you already feeling hungry!! read more

-Front of the house- Arrived at Cora's at 10:12am Was seated promptly Ordered at 10:16am Food arrived at 10:36am Haven't seen my waitress since the food has arrived it's now 11:00am Waitress arrives with the bill didn't ask if we wanted it split or even if we wanted it period. -Back of the house- Ordered eggs bennadict (ham) Came cold Hollandaise was fairly good. Eggs poached perfectly. 18.53 later. Not very satisfied. Gonna go find something else to eat. read more

This is my place for a decent breakfast, the only downside is there is always a line waiting to get in. I've never gone to this place, went in, and got a seat immediately. Its ALWAYS jampacked. The ambiance here is great, the servers are very pleasant and well trained and of course, the food is fantastic. To avoid line-ups I've tried eggsmart, sunset grill, even dennys and I have to say Cora's is still the best by far. It's easy to notice that the sausages they have are of better quality and everything else is done well consistently. Portions are also good. With the exception of the constant wait, there really is no reason for me to complain about this place. read more

I usually order from this place on ubereats. Food is always packaged well and seems fresh. The Paul Wants it All is my go to order. Some items seem a bit pricier but it probably has to do with the amount of fruits you get. Highly recommend! read more

When did breakfast become a $50 venture for the family? Special occasion maybe, like in 2012, just before the word ends, so you don't actually have to pay the credit card bill. Everything was overpriced and it felt like I had to mine through the fruit to find my breakfast. I think Cora lost her way on the way to Toronto. read more

there was an ELASTIC BAND in my omelette. they told me it was the elastic band was from wrapping the broccoli? Thats a terrible excuse. I was chewing on a ELASTIC BAND. Disgusting!!!!!! read more

The female washroom has 2 stalls, 1 was clogged and the other one was over flowing! It smelled like someone had got really sick. Let the manager know & he said okay...he did nothing about it. He continued to seat people and take payments for the rest of the 30 minutes we were there. Gross! read more

Tired and bland feeling. When this restaurant first opened near me it was a nice change of pace from the usual stodgy, greasy breakfast places with its fruit heavy plates. But, honestly, now that it has been there awhile the food has consistently failed to impress. As mentioned, it's a nice change of pace to have lighter breakfast with more fruit, but it always seems like when they bring you the food the fresh fruit on the side has been cut up way too long ago and just isn't appealing. Also, the food seems overpriced for what you're getting. With so much of the plate being fruit, you'd think it'd be more affordable than it is or at least on par with better breakfast places. The actual meal is always done proficiently, but don't expect anything special or with any flair. Also, I often go there with someone who is allergic to certain type's fruit and every time she specifically asks for these to be left off the plate and it's always a hassle (sending it back, etc.) to get it done. Underwhelming. read more

The cutlery and plates were too dirty and nasty for my liking. I would not come here again as their price does not match their service. Forks and knives were dirty, as well as their plates that they served my dish in. read more

Came here on a weekday during the holidays. Took forever to get coffees and even to place an order. Very slow service. Seems really understaffed, both at the tables and in the kitchen. But the staff were very friendly. The location on Yonge St. And Elgin Mills is a better location. read more

I found Cora's to be bland and a few dollars per plate too expensive. I was visiting from San Diego and had the 2 egg 2 bacon plate and my mom had a French toast plate with some sliced fruit and coffee. The coffee was tasteless. The food tasted like something I would be able to make at home (I am a poor cook). There was no attempt to be creative or innovative. I don't plan to return. read more

WORST Cora's experience ever! The meals were only half size of the pictures showing on the menu. Compared to other Cora's, the food is way under expectations. I went there with my 3 kids which one of them was a baby in the stroller, and we were seated next to the washroom while the entire restaurant was 80% empty. During the entire breakfast, I had to move my chair for people who was going to the washroom. Not mentioned that it took them 20 minutes to refill my coffee. We will definitely NOT coming back!!! read more
