My family and I had a lovely brunch at Cora's. I really enjoyed the hospitality and service from the staff. Especially because we have little kids dining with us. They made sure the kids were well taken care of. The food is 10/10. My sister had a savory crepe and I had a sweet and savory combo breakfast. The Nutella crepe with strawberry and bananas was so good! And my son really loved his chocolate chip pancakes. The servers really made sure we had enough coffee at all times and made sure we were enjoying our brunch. read more

This is not a spot to go to with people who have any dietary restrictions. They are great at accommodating groups and for a group of 6 on a Sunday of the labour day weekend our party did not have to wait nor were we rushed. The food and drinks took a while to get. Why I'm giving this spot such a low rating is that I asked the waiter what was vegan on the menu and he said he didn't know and did not suggest he ask someone (rather gave me a look like it was my problem). So, I ordered the fruit bowl and toast and asked if he could confirm if the toast had dairy or honey in it (as some do). He suggested I just get a side of fruit instead of toast. Why would I get a side of fruit with a fruit bowl??? A restaurant with as many locations as they have must do better at accommodating or, at least, labelling allergens. read more

Cora - Great breakfast spot!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

Although I'm not a big fan of Cora's, a group of us came here for lunch last week. As always, if eggs benny is on the menu, I simply must try it! I opted for the asparagus and swiss cheese eggs benny. The presentation was great and for the most part, the flavour was good. I did find though that the cheese gave the English muffins more of a gooey texture instead of crisp and toasted and the hollandaise sauce had started to separate. There was, however, a fabulous selection of fruit served with my eggs which really rounded out this dish. Service was quick and friendly and overall, we had a great time. I just find that Cora's is a tad overpriced and I've had way better eggs benny for way less. Not worthy of a 'Meh, I've had better' two star but since I can't give a two and a half star, I'll have to up it to a three (mostly because of the service). read more

Cora - Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Eggs Benny! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

Surprised how a breakfast chain can turn it over to a very decent meal! A very extended menu of omelette so, pancakes with veggies, pancakes with fruit, burgers, etc. The service is super quick and this is what differentiates Cora from competitors. Prices are higher than other all-day breakfast places but still affordable. read more

We went for my mother'a birthday today, and we seated within 10 minutes. The server, David, was attentive and cordial. Please note that there are no discounted options for the birthday person. The food was generally good, including the smoke salmon Benny & my wife's western omelette. Each came with fruit and greasy potatoes quarters. My mom had a fruit crepe which looked ok, and was quite sizeable. My son ordered the one egg from the menu, which was laughable in that it was a small scramble with a piece of bacon (no bread on the side). What is also stunning is that you pay extra for coffee, over $7.00 for three coffees when ordering a full meal. The prices are disproportionate to other comparative breakfast places in the area. My review of Steve's a few weeks back attests that you can get a reasonable meal with coffee included. It's almost offensive to pay that much for coffee when other breakfast places include it in the cost of the meal. I have attached a snap of the bill, which was a numbing $60.00 for the 4 of us for brunch. Overall the quality of food and service rates a three out of five, but definitely not to be a regular joint. read more

Come here for an artery declogging breakfast. Potentially. Cora's is your neighborhood go-to for a healthier alternative to your traditional western breakfast / brunch. I say healthier as along with the regular sausage, eggs and bacon items on their menu, most of their entrees come with heaping piles of fresh fruit. Something that was very uncommon until they came to town. Originally based in Quebec , these guys were a game changer in my book for having fresher, brighter options to start off your day. I've been to Cora's a number of times, and their food has always been consistently good. I am a big fan of their sunshine crepe panini with ham; it is always satisfying to the last bite. We ordered the panini and the special for the season which featured 3 chocolate chip pancakes , 3 eggs, wedges and some toast. The food took a very long time today although their were hardly any diners. Their normally pretty on top of their delivery times so i won't dwell on it. The pancakes were very good, the chocolate added a nice touch of sweetness. I chose the rye toast with the entree and that was toasted to a T . The wedges didn't have a crisp to them though and were a bit too soft. Overall, it was a pretty well cooked simplistic dish for somebody wanting something sweet and salty at the same time. Our waitress Paula was very attentive which was a bonus. She probably filled our coffee 5 times and proactively offered to get us water which was thoughtful considering our level of caffeinated dehydration at that point. read more

I love Cora's! I love how everything you order on the menu comes with fresh fruit! If you go on the weekend you will have to wait to get seated so I go during the week when they are not as busy. Its a breakfast/Lunch place, they are not open all day long. I have been to Cora's in New Brunswick as well and they seem to be more "fast-paced" then places I have been to in Ontario. The only problem I have with this restaurant is I find them to be very slow even when they are not busy... read more

Cora - Strawberry Banana Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

When you grow up, you soon realize what's worth your money and what isn't. I've been to the location on Carlton and this one. I'd have to say I like the staff here better. My waitress was very friendly and attentive. I ordered just the french toast which, like most dishes, came with a PILE of fruit. Now don't get me wrong, I love fruit, but when you're paying $13 dollars. I don't think it's worth it unless its spectacular and ripe as hell. Some pieces of my fruit such as my honeydew and tangerines were either sour/dry/old. Also, my french toast wasn't anything to rave about. On top of that, the maple syrup here tasted bland. I don't know how that works out, but this just didn't cut it for me. BUT good news: Free wifi here and very little people in the morning! read more

Cora - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

8 months ago, I would agree with the posters. Back then Staff was rude, service non existent. (0 stars) Present 3.5 stars rounded down and then on reconsideration went back up. Due to service. They must have had a good turnaround the new staff were much better. I stopped in for the rosemary, bright and early 6am. Only customer, they had just opened. I was greeted shown to a table, offered one or wherever else I'd like. I just sat where she wanted me to sit. Food arrived hot and fast(I'm the only 1 there, so ymmv) My server got me a coffee immediately, asked numerous times about my dining experience brought refills... The food was up to Coras standards plentiful, fresh decent priced. Food doesn't leave you stuffed but you are filled and satisfied. I'll try again and you should to. read more

Cora - Rosemary Sunday - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

Does anyone dislike Cora's? Is that even possible? Though it is a chain, I find all Cora's that I have been to be very consistent. My favourite thing to get is Buckwheat Blessing, but I always order the cheese that comes with it to be put on the side - the portions are super generous! I especially enjoy the presentation of the fruits and I find having it quite enjoyable. Not all dishes have such a fruit accompaniment, so choose wisely! I would have given Cora's 5 stars, but I do find that the chain could benefit from using better coffee. I find the house coffee to be on the disappointing side. Overall, Cora's is a place I would visit and visit again read more

Cora - Buckwheat blessing - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

I have never been so disappointed in a business. Yesterday was my birthday and I always come to Cora's so I trusted them to take care of us on my special day. Everything went wrong. Our server was abrupt from the start. I am usually served by Paula who had JUST left as we walked in! I was already willing to go somewhere else at that point because she's the only server I would trust not to f*** up my birthday brunch! One of my party members has a serious gluten allergy, and initially we were pleased to learn about their gluten sensitive menu (***APPARENTLY GLUTEN SENSITIVE GLUTEN FREE!***) How does that make any sense?! If they had a peanut-free menu but the server keeps telling you that your meal may have come in contact with, or contains peanuts, would you feel safe eating their food? Me neither! I ordered the lovely chicken salad and specifically asked for no tomatoes and I had tomatoes in it. When I told the server she took my grapefruit juice off the bill total. Thanks but the problem wasn't with the grapefruit juice. In fact, the juice was the only thing they got right this time! We all got our meals except for my gluten-allergic sister, who sat there watching us eat with an almost kid-sized smoothie that was $4. I felt ashamed that I even brought my guests here on my birthday and felt especially angry that my sister had to sit there watching us eat. Eventually she made the decision to go order lunch to go next door at Kavkaz like I wanted to! $9.95 for a whole freshly made meal! And it was absolutely delicious and the service way better, and just on the other side of Cora's walls. Long story short, I would've considered returning if it wasn't for the fact that they ruined my birthday from the start. read more

People used to line up to have breakfast/brunch at Cora's, well not anymore at this location. We were seated immediately on a Saturday morning, and ordered our usual - Sunshine Panini and Crepe-Omelette. While I love this dish at other locations, the panini wrap was under-cooked and cold in certain areas, as if it were microwaved. The tiny bowl of fruit on the side just looked sad. I'm not sure why this item in particular doesn't come with their infamous 'mountain' of fruits. The fruits weren't the freshest either - the pineapple was super sour and hard, the strawberry was soggy & the grapes looked unwashed. They really need to work on presentation at this location. The spinach and cheddar crepe-omelette was A-OK except that the sauce was cold. I don't think I would come back to spend over $13 for a plate of semi-warm wrap and fruit that's been left out for too long. read more

I came here on Family Day and it was definitely a full house. I was extremely happy that the line moved quickly and I got a booth seat within 10 minutes waiting in line that was all the way out the front door. The staff is always friendly and quick with their service. I always order the Cora's special which is my favourite because there's a little bit of everything and I am very satisfied and full at the end of every meal. Today was even better because I finished everything on my plate. I usually don't. My favourite item would probably be the potatoes! But their meals are always refreshing which I love. I rarely go here but I know I will always return because the service is friendly and prompt and you cannot go wrong with breakfast foods. read more

Cora - Cora's special. Always a favourite! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

There is always a line out the door for this place! The food here is good, but it's the service that keeps me coming back here. I usually get the 10 star, but today I got the spinach and cheese omelette and it was just as good. My sister alwaaaaaays gets the eggs Benedictine and has never changed her mind; she absolutely loves it, so I would definitely recommend it as well. The servers here are great and I would definitely recommend to come here! Apparently there is an early bird menu that's a bit cheaper for those who wake up at 6am.. That's definitely not me though! :p read more

I've been to Cora's twice before for breakfast, and I can say it's A-OK. The only big plus is the staff, who are hardworking and take their job seriously. They have a variety of different breakfast plates, but they do charge for more than what is given. The restaurant itself, though sticking to the brand needs a revamp. It looks like the inside of a preschool. I've had the fruit crepe and the oatmeal and it's nothing to write home about. The fruit crepe is pretty light, and the oatmeal is nice for when the weather is cold. Pretty standard overall... I would recommend it for families with small children. read more

There is one thing I can describe about Cora, expensive pretentious breakfast. The fruit looks dried out and not fresh. Nothing you order will look like the pictures in the menu. But the service is great so my 3 star grading isn't talking about the 5 stars service. I have eaten at breakfast place the have far superior food and same service. But if you are looking for a place to eat, I wouldn't mind walking in. Why my negative comments on the food? Blueberry pancakes has potatoes and onion found in them. Seriously, you can't even clean the pan before cooking the next order? read more

What is there NOT to love about breakfast food? Cora's has a very bright and welcoming atmosphere and the staff are extremely friendly, creating a sense of belonging to those who visit. Their menu is extensive and one has the choice of choosing from their many options (e.g. fruit, omelettes, crêpes, eggs, etc.) Or creating their own breakfast from a choice of sides. Food is delicious, portions are HUGE, healthy, and keep you satisfied for quite a bit! My complaints, however, are that the fruit does not always seem fresh. Prices are on the higher end, too. read more

The breakfast is fresh and includes an assortment of fruits that are plated in a cute fashion. The staff seated my party with only 10 mins before closing on a Friday. The service from the staff is excellent. What's holding this place back from getting 5 stars is that the fruit, well ok for Canada, could be upped a level to match the quality of the main course. read more

While it's not easy on the wallet, it's nice to come to Cora's once in a while to have a nice breakfast. The menus are colourful and detailed, the service is pretty quick and the wait time isn't too bad (if it's busy, you may have to wait for a table though. Perhaps that's a sign for how popular it is). I'd personally recommend the Rosemary Sunday breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, taters and blueberry pancakes on the side! Perfecto! read more

Service: Staff is friendly. Last time I was there the hostess was nice enough to help us find a spot that accommodate a stroller. Decor: good. Food: Good breakfast food, although we usually go for brunch. Most of the meals, if not all, the meals come with fruits. The food is consistent, but a bit pricey. Review: On a weekend morning you can expect to wait in a line that is wrapped around the front of the restaurant. The food is good and they are one of the only breakfast joints around here, or even uptown for that matter. It is one of the only places that can make an eggs benedict in the area and the meals come with fruits. We enjoy going here but the lineup is just ridiculous if you are anything near hungry. Reason for stars: The food is okay and the most breakfast oriented restaurant in the area but the long lineup before going in just puts everyone in a cruddy mood before even ordering. The weekdays are a bit better but I find that when I have time during the weekday I end up going to places midtown or even downtown. The line just starts off my day is a crummy mood. read more

Upon entering I could only notice the tacky decor and crap plastered along the walls. Being my first time here and seeing as there was no host to greet us, we decided to find a place to seat ourselves. Stepping over the threshold and looking into the first vacant booth, a disgruntled employee rudely told us that we had to wait to be seated. Once seated and having a chance to look at our menu, a miserable woman introduced herself as our server. Great! Needless to say I ordered my eggs, sausage, potatoes, toast and coffee and did enjoy it. It did however make me wish I was at the diner near my house having the same meal. This place made me feel like an uninvited guest, and seeing as we paid to be here... I find it unsatisfactory and have no intention of revisiting that experience. People working here should realize that they are working in the service industry and perhaps should seek employment elsewhere if they can't handle it. read more

Always plently of room when I came to this Cora's. Service has always been exceptional and my water glass never went empty. The portions are pretty big and I usually need to take the rest to go.

Popped by Cora's for an impromptu breakfast after a late night. Ordered a variety of things, and I didn't mind the food. It was all good actually. The coffee was, as expected, diner coffee. Nothing to write home about. The prices are waaaay too high for breakfast food. Breakfast should be one of the more inexpensive foods, and for three people we spent around $60. For breakfast? There wasn't anything special with the food that could possibly warrant that price for breakfast. That said, Cora's has never been my go to location for breakfast, and I probably won't go again anytime soon. With a city full of amazing breakfast places, I don't think Cora's is my first choice. read more

What happened? We love Chez Cora in Ottawa and Montreal, and although the menu is the same, this Cora's is simply not as good. The Theo's Omelette was much less tasty and the hash brown potatoes were too thickly cut and not cooked enough. This was definitely not the standard Cora. The seating service was also bad. We arrived in a party of 10, but were willing to split up to get seating sooner. The hostess refused to allow 6 of us (including 2 children under 5) to sit in a booth, so we had to wait for a table for 10. The service was otherwise okay... Save your money to visit Chez Cora in Montreal! read more

Food sensitivity alert! I strongly urge you to be ware of this location! Although this place offers a gluten sensitive page on their menu, which means there are items in the menu which you should be able to order from, (with fine print targeted at celiac suffered- which I made clear that I was not) the waitress will refuse to take your order and will leave you sitting there while the rest of your group sits and enjoys their meals! From first impression to the very last, this place was a zero! The staff is miserable and unprofessional with no greeting at the door, with us having to fetch a Member to be seated, to the moment you pay and leave, they have such hatred for simply existing there, it will certainly make the customer run for the door or shall I say next door! Where they have wonderful food, service and ambiance. My family and I are regulars at the 'Cora' chain restaurants. This was my first time at this run down location, with my family. We were completely drawn back by the rude staff, as soon as we entered. The place was nearly dead, and yet so messy and in cared for. The place looks poorly maintained, the tables who have finished eating and were long gone were cluttered with dishes and trash on the tables, even once the place wasn't busy at all! Including us there were 4 tables at the time. I made multiple attempts ordering front their so called 'gluten sensitive page' which was clearly created by head office. The waitress refused to take my order and claimed to be afraid to take a risk! After long and very embarrassing negotiating, we had concluded that I will not be eating at this location ever again. Not only have I tried ordering from the gluten sensitive page, she was not able to confirm or the knowledge that the staff and the kitchen are prepared and/or trained as they should be to prepare the food properly and check the ingredients in certain premade items such as bacon. I later tried yet again to order a gluten free sandwich, (which was simple enough since they had the bread and other items) which she made no attempt to accommodate, when she asked me if I would like my sides to be the soup or dessert bread, I replied once again explaining that both of those items are not safe for a gluten allergy and I would like to substitute for fruit salad. She went on telling me that they do not serve or make fruit salad. I later pointed out on the menu that ALL their items come with fruit salad, clearly she was not aware of what fruit salad even meant. And after showing her pictures like to my 3 year old, she still refused to accept and acknowledge that I was correct. And not some uneducated fool off the street. As she insisted on treating me, a 30 something professional, a mother of 2, but yet with a young face and younger siblings along with me. In the end she refused to substitute any items for some fruit. After all the crap I've already experienced, that should have been the least she could have done! Not only substitute but perhaps offer it 'on the house' After this embarrassing and annoying situation I confronted the waitress in private, as calmly and professionally as possible. I explained that if you do offer a gluten-free page, (from head office). At a chain restaurant. Not only should they I compadre but also be trained properly and it was not her place as a waitress to make an executive decision, and leave a customer sitting there hungry while the rest of the group ate!!! Mind you: I have eaten from other locations, there should not be such an issue where I am so put on the spot and and later talked about with other staff and got embarrassing looks from all the members. The manager, well there was no manager he/she was not even present or at least made themselves as absent as could be! and the kitchen manager refused to exit to come out and speak to me in person. Long story short this place is a complete joke and I will never step foot in it again! I would strongly recommend some proper training, not only in food safety, customer service, but also proper interviewing would help, before hiring a bunch of dead beat miserable, un knowledgable 'staff' and out the rest in the back to take out the trash! P.s good luck if you would like to order to arrive at a timely manner and as you've ordered it! read more
