The food is okay but only showing annoying white people playing with their food and mugging for the camera while doing fast talking voice overs is desperate and looks so incredibly stupid read more

A truly pleasant Brunch. Lillian was our server when she topped our coffee she remembered one of the guests took decaf and brought 2 pots. We never seen the bottom.of our cups and felt welcome by her and the manager. Very happy with the service and the food was also made to perfection. Thanks for a pleasant experience! read more

What a wonderful and amazing experience. They really made my day, I feel terrible not remembering our server's name as she was incredibly and best service experience. My husband and I were there at about 9am and left at 10am and asked not to be close to washrooms. I really want our Server and the others to amended for their great work. It definitely made the food taste even better. read more

Good customer service. Unfortunately the food was not tasty. Even the coffee was blaaaah. read more

Cora is a nice spot for brunch, with nice bright lighting and friendly atmosphere. However, the food isn't really special and the service is moderate as well. We came in on a Sunday, which tends to be packed. They seemed to be quite understaffed and took a while to clear tables and bring people in. We sat down to order and it took a while to flag down someone again after they brought us water. The food also took quite a while to come out. After about 30 mins, our food arrived. I got the "1990's Harvest" and the raisin bread was lukewarm and a bit soggy. It still tasted fine with the fruit and bacon, but I was a little disappointed. Overall, it may have been the day we went that affected the service. The food honestly wasn't very special and quite pricey for what it was. I probably won't return for breakfast or brunch, but maybe I'll come back to try their lunch. read more

Cora - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Good food. Need to take more attention to bacons as they are usually fried and dry with burnt taste. Rest remaining food is okay.

This is my FAVOURITE Cora's location. Why? The staff & service. But first, food wise? I honestly am not a fan of the restaurant lol, but that's just because I'm vegetarian. There was VERY FEW options. & if you order a "normal" meal, they won't substitute the meat with like, another egg, or something. & it will cost you the same to remove meat (which I know most places do & it drives me crazy). I only ever order the waffles, & this is the ONLY place I go to for waffles. So I do love it. Anyways, I love this location! I live WAY closer to the york mills location, but will always drive out to this Scarborough one simply because of the incredible service. The staff are attentive, welcoming & seem happy. Management, keep doing what you're doing. Because you're doing something right! read more

Cora - Strawberry waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My family and friends love Cora and it's our go to spot for breakfast when extended family come to visit Toronto. The staff at this location make the whole experience so much better as we are always greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic worker every single time we go there. The food, itself, is pretty standard to most western breakfast spots but the bonus is the fresh fruit they give you on the side and the big basket of bread you get as well. My family usually orders their Spinach and Cheddar Omelette (very cheesy and savory), Cora's Special (big platter of the normal, savory breakfast items) and my personal favourite, the Samira Wake-Up (perfect for me ever since I went vegan - it's just a big plate of deliciously fresh fruit!). The restaurant, itself, is relatively big and you definitely don't feel cramped at all. My favourite tables would be near the windows where you get a bunch of natural light from the outside. Parking is a breeze with the huge parking lot shared with the other stores in the plaza. Parking near Cora is not a problem on the weekdays though it may get very crowded on the weekend. read more

The breakfast items here are amazing! However, sometimes I wish they just had basic pancakes or waffles. Maybe that's the southerner in me talking? Either way, they give you a great big helping of fruit that is delicious of course! It's a mixture of grapes, sliced apples, honeydew and bananas from what I can remember. I ordered the panini and it was very good. I can't wait to come back and try the other items on the menu. Beware though: lineups are outside the door on the weekend so come early and prepared! read more

Upon arriving and sitting down was greeted by Leanna. She smiled right away and took our order which came quick .Gargantuan breakfast which had everything that you would want. Leanna was 10 out of 10 serving us and i wish other waitresses at competition restaurants could be the same. Food was excellent and i will come back here for sure on Milner Ave. Clean place and bright. read more

I had a different experience then the reviewers at this location. I went in on a Sunday for brunch at 11:30, there was a line up at the door but since I had a stroller I was able to get in and wait. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my stroller needs and made sure I had enough space. I had to wait about 20 minutes before being seated but I could see the staff was being very efficient and trying to keep running smoothly. Upon being seated, waitress came right away to ask for drinks. I ordered the kale mango smoothy which was great. Shortly after, we ordered the spinach and cheddar omelette and strawberry banner pancakes. They both tasted great better then the pickering location that I had been to. I left happy going in and spending the extra on brunch that day! Please keep up the good work! read more

Cora - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Whenever I go to Cora, I always expect the same level of service and food quality - this was certainly the case. My go-to breakfast whenever I visit is the benedict with two eggs which is one of their more complex offerings. Make sure you arrive early as Cora seems to attract a loaded crowd after their opening times. Although you may never find something that will wow you, it is certain that consistent service and food quality can be always found at your local Cora. read more

Upon arrival to the restaurant, it's important to note the happiness inducing yellow walls that contain the place. The staff are kind and bright as the environment they work in. Atmospherically, a great place for a friendly breakfast. Food is served in great portions, and fruit comes with every dish. No matter what you choose to eat, I promise the portions will satisfy. read more

It's a consistent breakfast chain that offers good food. It's clean & the staff are generally kind. I always come here when I come back home to visit Ontario or Quebec. This time I was disappointed. My staple here is getting a nutella raspberry crepe,I felt like I was shanked when she told me that they no longer offer raspberry as a fruit option/subsitute. So I had to go with my backup, a mushroom swiss omelette. The potatoes are either a hit or miss & they were perfect this time. The prices are ok although I wish it was a little cheaper. I will be back but with much less enthusiam since they took my raspberries away. read more

I always love coming to Cora's. It's always super busy on the weekends so thankfully we had reservations. Typical of Cora, it's bright, colourful, large windows, and has lots of seating. Service was average and our food came in a reasonable amount of time considering the large group our waiters had to serve. To eat I got the Penelope burrito which comes with a side of homefries which I always enjoy. My mom had pancakes which she said was definitely some of the best she's ever had, and everyone else got the typical breakfast meals--eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, etc. Someone in my group also got the oatmeal which was served in a beautiful dish and someone else got a crepe which looked divine. Overall, presentation of the food is always beautiful . Cora is definitely one of my favourite and go to places to dine for breakfast/brunch and they never disappoint. read more

Before my visit to Cora on Sunday I hadn't been to one in several years after they closed the one where I used to live. I have to say, I missed it! Right when I walked in, I recognized the bright yellow walls and the images of the different menu items up on the walls. The service was quick and friendly and the menu was huge. I like having lots of options so I can get exactly what I'm craving. I almost always get a savory meal when out for breakfast, but at Cora's I couldn't resist the Mountains of Strawberry Waffle. It was so good and I didn't regret my choice at all. They definitely didn't skimp on the strawberries. The sunshine panini crepe is my old favourite from here - will have to get that next time and see if it still lives up to the hype! I'm ready to re-start my love affair with Cora. read more

I have been here many times and Cora's is still my favorite breakfast place! What I really like here is the selection I boast that I have tried everything on the menu because I have, I especially like the thin pancakes here; they are almost like crepes. The smoothies are good and so is the freshly squeezed oranges juice; it has a nice squeezed taste. The fruits that come with the meal are always fresh and delicious. Every time I come here there is a line up, but what's nice about that is that you can eat the fruits hanging on the side; provided no one is looking of course ;) read more

Great place to brunch! Has tons of veggie options. I loved the kale and mango smoothie bowl. It was so delicious and so healthy! Really filled me up. read more

Cora - Kale and mango smoothie bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been coming to Coras since I was a very young child. It definitely used to be a place I loved going. Coras is undeniably child/family friendly. There is a menu specifically for children, kids are provided crayons and colouring paper and their portions are just right. With that being said, I probably would not come here unless I was bringing children to eat breakfast. The decor has not changed at all since the the 90s, neither has the menu or the appearance of the food. I received a very outdated plate of plain pancakes, accompanied by a sole slice of cantaloupe with a single piece of pineapple inserted between the peel and the fruit. There was also a single two inch piece of lettuce which really did not belong on the plate at all. We also ordered some pancakes for the kids which kept them satisfied. We also ordered a plate called "the 7th of July" which looked better, the portion of fruit was much more generous and the French toast was nice. however the crepe was slightly rubbery in taste. The service was good, the waiter was quick and helpful. However the manager seems like he never smiles. This location also has an abundance of parking space and is surrounded by other places of interest. read more

I am very impressed by Cora. I ate breakfast there for the first time today and I am happy to say that they not only have gluten free options but very yummy food. They have buckwheat crepes, gf granola, and gf toast. The service was amazing and I will definitely be returning in the near future. read more

This is my go to spot for good wholesome breakfast. Went here today for mothers day brunch. Well it wasnt really brunch, more like breakfast cause we knew it was gonna be packed around 10am. There is something about going to Coras that is very inviting and just feels like home. Most servers are very friendly and attentive. Food usually comes quick, with exception today cause of mothers day. Coras also offers more selections of breakfast items compared to other breakfast joints. Value of food is also on par, you get a generous amount of food plus fruits in all their dishes. So if you have one of those days where just too lazy to cook breakfast, head over to Coras for some good food! read more

Stopped by for breakfast with a friend. Was greeted at our table with a smiling waitress. We were so fortunate to be served by Kenza. we never had to ask for anything. Kenza provides one of the best customer service that i have ever received. She is very helpful, customer oriented and friendly. I wish to be served by her again. She is simply Awesome. read more

This is one of those times I wish I had a split grade for service and for quality of food. We arrived at 9:30 am on Sunday. A very busy time. There was a 10 minute wait to be seated. In hindsight I wish we had gone earlier, especially for a Sunday. The hostess was very polite and seated us. However, our server was clearly rushed. We got a coffee that we had not ordered. Then again it did not show on my bill either I ordered the breakfast burger and the wife ordered Eggs Benedict. The meal arrived 25 mins later. My burger was hot but the home fries were cold. My wife's eggs and cheese had cooled and congealing. I asked for a hot meal. 8 mins later she returns with our plates. The home fries were still cold. Our server said, "Is the meal, OK?" And before I could say anything. She said, "Fine" and walked away. Both meals were tasty and the price was reasonable. They offer a lot of fruit meals, which I may consider if we arrive an a very busy time. For me the food was: 4 stars The service was: 2 stars read more

I'm not usually one who writes reviews, but this left a bad taste in my mouth, especially on Thanksgiving Day. A day where you just want to spend time and enjoy with loved ones. After my experience today, this was the last straw for me. I love Cora's. It was always a go to breakfast place. The food is always good, but THIS LOCATION in particular has the worst customer service ever. Keep in mind I've been to this location multiple times in the past. The customer service has never been good (slow customer service, lack of attention, hard to get my bill to pay..., many employees just stand around doing absolutely nothing) but I continued to go because the location itself was always convenient and I like to always give the benefit of the doubt because every business has off days. Today, my friend and I arrived and there was a long line up that we couldn't even get to the front to get our names taken. Understandable since it is Thanksgiving Day. When we could finally squeeze our way to the front, no employee was present. We waited 5 minutes for someone to take our names down but no one came. We decided to put down our own name and return to the end of the line so no one would misinterpret and think that we were cutting in the line. After about 30 minutes we went to check on our place in the list and found out our name was crossed out without being notified. When we asked them why, they said that we aren't supposed to put down our own name. Fair enough, but they didn't try to solve the situation at all, no direction was given, we weren't asked if we wanted to be added to the list (although it's obvious we did). She just immediately turned her back and ignored us and had no care in the world. You want me to wait 15 minutes to get my name taken because someone wasn't doing their hostess duties? There is a cash register there as well. Even if the hostess needed to step away temporarily, there should still be a person present at the cash register at all times, especially on a busy holiday. Needless to say we left after that due to the lack of customer service and unfriendly response. On another occasion at this SAME location, my friend and I specifically asked for separate bills and the waitress not only took it upon herself to NOT separate the bill as was requested, but she gave it to my friend who is a MALE, assumed that we are romantically together and handed him the bill directly and said to him "you're going to pay for this nice young lady". Not only is this inappropriate, but she also went against what we requested and forced it upon him making things very uncomfortable. I've come to realization that even though this a convenient location. It is definitely not worth going anymore after many, many bad experiences and I would rather travel out of the way to go to a different Cora's. There is nothing wrong with the company itself. I've never had issues at any other location BUT this particular one. read more

Came here for thanksgiving brunch with a group of 8, called a few times to get through to a real person to place a reservation two hours in advance and they had our table ready for us within minutes of arriving at 12:30. Exactly what you'd expect. Not any more special than other chain breakfast/brunch places but the food was good without getting too pricey. Service was pretty good as well, despite the restaurant being full to the brim, and we were surprised by the fact that they didn't throw a mandatory tip on our 8-person bill. The omelettes are good - I ordered the small version of pancakes with strawberry sauce (got 2 pancakes) and I thought I would get whipped cream in my little jug, but got a (no sugar?) vanilla yogurt instead, which didn't taste that great and I ended up scraping off my pancakes. The strawberry sauce also just seemed to be a warmed up jam, but wasn't too bad. The pancakes may have been a little overpriced for these reasons (small version was $9.99), but I tried my sister's breakfast burrito plate, as well as my aunt's omelette dish, which were both delicious! read more

Cora's is not a typical brekky joint. You don't come in for bacon and eggs, with home fries, toast and coffee for $7. I've tried and its just not the same. Instead, double the price and get loaded up on a truly unique meal with dishes you will find in no other restaurant. A key signature of Cora's is the mound of fresh cut fruit that adorns many a plate. Today I stopped in for a late breakfast--nearly lunch, so I chose a crepe, the Trois Riviéres, which is a savoury crêpe filled with artisanal pork sausages, caramelized onions and melted cheese. The full sized version has quite the calorie count, so this is a treat, not a routine. I have had a variety of different meals from Cora's across the country. All are unique, and different, with a wide variety of options and quite a bit of creativity. read more

Came here for breakfast - as my cousin called it, it feels like a "nursery diner" because of all the colorful decorations on the wall - admittedly, it is quite adorable! I just got a breakfast platter - 2 eggs, peabacon, and potatoes with cheese and onions. I've never had peabacon until today, so I was surprised to see that it looked like ham! Nonetheless, it was pretty good. The potatoes were delicious too, especially when smothered with the cheese and onions (make sure you ask them to smother it) All in all, a pretty standard diner. Definitely seems to be family friendly! read more

Cora is a good chain restaurant for breakfast or brunch. I think their selection is good and the price is also very reasonable. With that said, I don't have any favorites or must try that I can recommend. I've never ordered their smoothies before but my friends really enjoyed it so maybe that's something to try there. Each meal usually comes with some fruits and two slices of toast which is nice because it seems 'healthier'. Also, you'll definitely be full from the meal. I noticed a lot of people have issues with services at Cora but I've never had any issues with their services so maybe I'm just lucky. Just a side note, when you pay for your meal, you have to go up to the front cashier to pay for it. It's always here that I get confused on how to tip them because they don't have a tip jar. Also, they have a plate of fudge right beside the cashier that's complimentary so don't be shy and take one if you love fudge! read more

Where do I begin? Do I even have to give 1 star to this wretched place? The hostess, Leanne and server, Arathana were a nightmare. The attitudes! We came at 2pm and left at 2:38pm, it was such a mess. It was obvious they were trying to close down early even though they are supposed to close at 3pm. It was such an inconvenience for Arathana to come to our table to give us our food. She never came to give us coffee refills, there was no table syrup at our table, she wouldn't give us sweetener or anything for the coffee, she barely came to our table, she's just drop things and run -- she was too busy badmouthing customers with the hostess, Leanne and we had to constantly get up and get what we needed while overhearing them. I made sure I got their names so I could complain to head office because this is the second time we've had such a notably horrible experience with Cora (oh yes, the kitchen forgot ingredients in the pancake dish one of us ordered -- you'd think something like cream cheese in a dish containing cream cheese would be important to the kitchen but apparently product quality doesn't matter either to this franchise). I realized after the horrible experiences we had both here and at the one in Richmond Hill (the managers there are horrendous and the crepes are just thin nachos, they're so dry), it's very clear that they live off the crowds on the weekend and don't care about what happens at their slower points. At this price point, you would expect a certain level of quality of service and food that they used to have but this disappointing decline is very evident. I'm tired of going to restauarents like this that slide overtime and decide it doesn't matter. You contact them and they lie by saying they'll do something about it but they never do. Keep your crappy employees and your inadequate food, Cora -- I miss what you used to be and, like every other franchise that catches it too late, you're just on a gradual decline that will get caught too late. Definitely won't be the first or last time it's happened. read more

I am actually upgrading my previous rating to 5-stars based on a delicious lunch I had recently from their new Spring Lunch menu. It is the first time that I have had lunch at Cora's; I was there for breakfast again, and only tried the Forestiere Skillet as it looked really good from the picture and description... and it was excellent! Strips of chicken, mushrooms and roasted potatoes mixed together with béchamel sauce; I chose the southwestern salad with corn and beans as my side, as well as the fruit bowl with cream for dessert. Everything was delicious and filling for only $11 (plus drink + tax). There were a few other interesting choices listed like the Waldorf salad and some sandwich plates, but I was very satisfied with my choice. read more

I went in for breakfast one rainy morning with my husband and we got seated without a wait. The place was decorated well and it felt like an upscale I-hop. It looked like a place that offered quite a bit of fruit options but my we decided to go with egg options. My husband spinach and cheddar omelette and I got the Theo's option of the egg, potato grateau. I enjoyed the meal but it was quite cheesy and I got filled very quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I would be back. I would have given it a 5 star but it more on the expensive site so I knocked off a star. I would still recommend it and I would be back on another day to indulge. read more

This place gets pretty crowded on weekends, but we only waited 5 mins to get a table for two once the cashier that was handling the list of guests waiting for a table turned around and noticed that 3 groups of people had walked in while she was busy staring at all the people that were already seated. I had the brunch burger and coffee. The brunch burger is topped w/ a cheese omelet, bacon and hollandaise sauce and accompanied by some roasted potato wedges. The burger is a preformed patty that's maybe half meat and half filler. It was dry and tasteless. The hollandaise was a little sweet and the cheese omelet seemed devoid of cheese and cheese flavor. Eating it was a bit messy and could've used an extra napkin or two, but since our waitress didn't give us any or come around after the food was delivered, I had to make that one napkin stretch. All-in-all, it made me think I should've ordered the cherry pancakes instead. The coffee was hot and bottomless, but you'll need to flag down your waitress to get a refill since our waitress wasn't in the habit of carrying the coffee carafes around refilling her customers cups and the other waitresses that did didn't come near our table. Service was friendly and satisfied the bare minimum required of servers. Tl;dr: food and service are both "meh", but at least the coffee's hot. read more

For a fruit lover like me, this place was paradise! I'm talking MOUNTAINS of fruit, more fruit than even I could eat. I got a breakfast wrap with eggs, cheese and bacon that came with a fruit mountain - grapes, bananas, pineapple, plums, strawberries, kiwi, watermelon, canteloupe... The wrap was good, not the most exciting breakfast ever, but the fruit more than made up for it. Good coffee and friendly service. It was nice to get filled up but still feel like I was being pretty healthy from all the fruit. read more

Cora - Breakfast wrap with eggs, cheese and bacon and a mountain of delicious fruit! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Really enjoy this place - most plates on the menu are packed to the brim with an overload of fruit in addition to the generous mains. It's on the more pricy side for breakfast, though you definitely get what you paid for. On the most recent visit, I had the panini wrap with a filling of egg, cheese and bacon. I ended up taking half of the hefty portion home for a late afternoon snack. The queue on the weekends tend to be long, but if you are willing to go around one pm, it moves fairly quickly. Plenty of parking in this random plaza just off of the 401. read more

Good heart omelette only for a limited time. So going to try it out, and it's awesome. Not only that, considering that the place was practically packed, the service was impecable. I think this is different than the other Cora locations because the others didn't have a service this efficient, I didn't even have to ask for the refill for the coffee, they notice it when it is done and ask. As for the meal, I decided to forgo the menu and just order the thing that was on display in my place mat, which was the Good Heart Omelette for $9.95 + taxes and tip with coffee goes to about $16. It was an interesting mix, but it came out so well. It had a savoury portion which is composed of an egg white omelette with spinach and cottage cheese. Never had cottage cheese in an omelette before let alone an all egg white omelette, or even spinach with the omelette, but that combination was awesome. On the other half of the plate was a bunch of fruits. I was a bit turned off when I saw the kiwi at first, but I was surprised how sweet the kiwi was and it wasn't "biting" like the stuff I get from Foody Mart. It had other fruits like grapes, pineapple and strawberry. It also came with toast, I ordered brown just to be in between white and whole wheat. It was pre-buttered and they provided me with a choice of jams. I used the Strawberry and Blueberry. Normally I just stick with Strawberry, but their blueberry jam tasted better. It was less sugary. The only problem with the blueberry is it is runnier than the other jams so you have to keep the bread close otherwise you'd make a mess (like I did). In the end I didn't feel excessively full, which is the way I like it. The food was just in the right amount for me. However, I didn't want to push it by getting my usual desserts there. I'll probably go again (though to another branch since this is out of my way) sometime this week. read more

Fantastic Staff. Great Food. Awesome Atmosphere. I've always loved going to Cora's. They have a great selection of breakfast foods. It ranges from eggs, crepes, French toast, pancakes, oatmeal, fresh fruit and etc. I have tried practically every dish they have at Cora's and each one is superb! Their dishes are always made fresh for you and the wait is never too long. It is never a disappointment! read more
