This place is great, deliciously affordable food that will definitely have me coming back, the sauces they put on these sandwiches is absolutely phenomenal, can imagine this would be a great pickup on the way to the beach read more

Coras Isle-End Deli - Rueben and a Club! - Delis Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Finding breakfast is a challenge soooo Coras Isle was open so we went. You order then sit at a table and they bring it out when its ready. Primary it is what it is, a deli. I had a tuna melt and mu husband had a Cuban. Sandwiches were GOOD and surprisingly the coffee was really good also. If you love a good sandwich that is reasonably priced this is your place. The young girl take orders and food running to the tables, was such a sweet person. Face just beaming with joy as she served people. I would recommend! read more

Came here for a little lunch. Ordered some sandwiches and a salad to go. Workers were very nice! Inside is kinda cute with funny photos of a dog. A decent amount of sandwiches to choose from. We ordered two and they were good! I wish they had a little bit more flavor but the toasted bread with melted cheese was good. We ordered a turkey avacado and turkey Brie. Price was fair for ~$9 a sandwich. We forgot to grab forks to eat our salad so that was a little sad. But overall a good takeout experience for lunch! read more

I had a Rueben and the husband had the roast beef. Really good food, great service. The place was quirky and clean. Be sure to check out the bathroom it was a hoot. read more

So this is a SUPER cute sandwich shop that I wish we would have found earlier in our week long vacation. The menu is adorable and hilarious and the decor is so fun. And the food was VERY GOOD! My husband and I both got the Roast Beast (which kinda bummed me out later as I wish we would have gotten different things so we could try more!) That onion jam and horseradish mayo were phenomenal. One friend got the Club and another friend got a Rueben on French bread. The corned beef on the Rueben was a little stringy but otherwise, everything else was great. I could see myself coming here and trying every single one of these sandwiches. I hope we're able to come back! Ps. This was about the only restaurant that we went to on the island where the employees were wearing masks which made me feel much more comfortable. They also had hand sanitizer readily available which I appreciate! read more

Cool atmosphere, and good prices. Tried the turkey with Brie and house made strawberry balsamic jam on French bread- awesome!! Quick service too! read more

I enjoyed my grilled cheese sandwich at Cora's Isle-End Deli! Comfort food is something that I enjoy when traveling, & this deli offered a delicious lunch for my stepdad and me. We were looking for something quick and easy and we weren't disappointed. The bread was crunchy and the cheese flavorful. The hilarious pictures of Cora, the dog after whom the deli is named, in famous movies were such a fun addition to the decor! We will definitely return to Cora's when we're back in town. read more

Cora's is absolutely delicious! Good sized portions, made to order, and reasonably priced! Call ahead and order sandwiches to take out for a picnic lunch on the beach - you won't be disappointed! read more

Good sandwich and lunch place on the island! Plus a fun story (I'll let you visit and discover it yourself). They have a good selection of fresh made sandwiches made with deli meats, cheeses and spreads. (Would have given 5 stars for fresher cuts of meat instead of deli and more originality). The Cuban was tasty but not quite a FL Cuban and needed better pork instead of a deli pork. The Turkey Brie and strawberry was quite good, but would have preferred fresh cut of brie cheese and homemade strawberry sauce instead of jam. The cheese was a bit soupy and the meat slid right off when taking a bite. The prices are fair, averaging $7-10 bucks a sandwich. Served with a pickle and chips are an additional charge. Cute little island lunch place, if you're in the area and close to the beach! read more

Very friendly staff and amazing sandwiches! I got the Turkey and Brie sandwich and it was so good! Super convenient location to the beach!

Amazing hidden gem, great for lunch to take on the beach or eat inside the nice cool dining room after. The team working here are so friendly and kind. The unique sandwich menu is awesome and everything is so fresh. Did I mention they have pints of ice cream as well?! Definitely check this place out if you are in Topsail! read more

Coras Isle-End Deli - Turkey - Apple wrap- so fresh! - Delis Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Great sandwich selection and really nice staff. Lots of customers came in and out while we ate and it felt like the locals favor this place. It's an ideal place to pick up lunch for going out on the boat. read more

An absolute must when visiting topsail island, Cora's deli gives off a fun family summer beach trip vibe the service is great; always greeted with warm and smiling faces. Over this past year, I've been able to try almost all of Cora's sandwiches and food they offer and overall they get a 9/10 you can tell that all the sandwiches are made to order and you can taste the freshness in their ingredients. Now all of the sandwiches are great but there are two that are top of the list for me and I highly recommend them. One: The Turkey brie & strawberry, the flavors just explode in your mouth I would describe it as the scene in ratatouille where Remi shares the grape and cheese with his brother. Overall amazing. My second favorite: is 3 Lil' pigs, the sauce is amazing it has a little kick of spice and the flavor is fantastic and it pairs perfectly with all the meat on there. read more

We were in town visiting for a week and ate here for lunch twice. The werewolf was good. Also, really liked the angry bird. The club was decent. Also the Italian was decent. Overall, really enjoyed the food. We will be back! read more

Love this little place. Great shrimp salad wrap! I only wish they were open later as they are the only real option for a quick cheap lunch on topsail read more

My wife and I stopped there for lunch while on vacation. I had the Reuben, it was pretty good. It came with Marble rye bread and would have preferred regular rye bread. My wife had the Shrimp salad. The salad itself was fresh and very good but the Shrimp salad on top didn't have much flavor. There are some really neat posters around the room. read more

It makes me sad to give Cora's just two stars. My previous review, written over two years ago, was an enthusiastic five stars, but it seems along with their dreary new location, the food has taken a nose dive as well. This used to be our favorite sandwich place by far, and I so looked forward to getting the turkey, Brie and strawberry sandwich and would rave to anyone willing to listen about it. Unfortunately, it's pretty awful now, as are most of their offerings. Not only has the quality of the cold cuts diminished, but they're slicing the meats way too thickly, an unpardonable sin, and they seem to have that slimy, prepackaged look and taste to them. Not saying that's what it is, just saying that's what it looks like. We've been back three times in the last six months, each time we were disappointed but we kept trying hoping it was just an off day. Well, three strikes and you're out. From now on, we will either bring along our own food or have lunch across the street. read more

Stopped here after reading all the recommendations. Unassuming place is right. Inside it's decorated with pictures of Cora the greyhound in action. Sandwich selection is awesome. I had the werewolf as is. Was fantastic. Coragator came with eyeballs. Was a bit dry but yummy. Best meal while on vacation. read more

Food made me and my husband sick. Do not recommend. Horrible stomach pain. Both our orders had shrimp. We live an hour from the restaurant. We both started feeling sick as soon as we got home. FDA was contacted regarding this matter. ...................................... Thank You read more

Oh my gosh! A real Deli where sandwiches are the spotlight, and are made the way sandwiches should be: delicious bread, just the right amount of mayo, mustard, or whatever your choice, a load of meat and cheese, with toppings that add to the taste but don't take over. The selection and creativity of their sandwiches is impressive, and I wish I lived here so I could try a different one every day. They also have four salad choices for those who want a lighter fare. Simple bagged potato chips as a side - but the unique ones not boring Lays. Canned cold Coke products! And only $1 for a bottle of water. They also serve breakfast which I'm sure is just as delicious. They are definitely hidden so be on the lookout for it; and if you're in Surf City or N. Topsail it is so worth the drive down to the South end for this place. read more

Pleasant atmosphere , friendly and courteous staff. A good variety of sandwiches without breaking the bank.

Great food, good service. I would stop by 3-4 times a week when I'm in town. They stay open during the off-season.

Usually unbelievably good sandwiches from a quirky owner However my last Reuben was chewy and I threw it out I will go back but not ask for the Reuben read more

They remodeled since the last time. Making the dining part a little larger but cozy with 6 tables. The food is still out standing. Kids menu is only $3 for everything. Turkey avocado and Italian sandwiches are 5 star and the iced tea is fresh brewed. Best deli on the island and the county. read more

Coras Isle-End Deli - Delis Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Great place for a quick bite. Sandwiches were good and drinks were cold. It was a perfect break from the midday sun.

Great lunch spot and easily accessible from the beach! They were fast and had an incredible sanitation score. The tuna melt was hearty and very fulfilling! My boyfriend got the turkey apple wrap but wasn't too pleased with the applesauce in the wrap - he didn't read the description and expected it to be apple slices...but that's on him! Highly recommend this sandwich spot! read more

Love dropping in to Cora's Deli for my fav BLT on Rye, YUM! The staff is always so nice and welcoming and they have a great menu with lots to choose from. Super cute spot to cool down and enjoy good eats in Topsail Beach read more

Came in and left due to unfriendly staff. When we were ready to order we said "ok I'm ready to order know" (because we picked out what we wanted) and the employee responded "okay, we'll I'm not.".... Just felt like that could have been worded a little bit kinder... so they did not receive our business and we did not place an order. read more

Coras is a good sandwich shop for a beach day. It's not great. But it's a solid spot with fun and winsome design. The food is just fine. Sandwich's don't come with sides. The place was clean. Would go back if starving and driving by. read more

My fav sandwich spot on this side of Topsail. They have mastered the art of sandwich making! Variety: they change up sandwich options regularly) Value: Most run around $5 **Suggest getting it to go. They don't have much room inside for large groups. read more

Coras Isle-End Deli - Roast beef w/pepper jack #Tasty - Delis Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Stopped in for lunch. Parked in back. Clean, inviting, interior. Simple menu. No side dishes (like macaroni salad, potato salad, etc...) I had Pastrami on white bread. Excellent sandwich! Huge portion of meat. It was free of fat; lean, quality, meat with great flavor. Bread was soft and had the proper bread to meat ratio. No onion rolls. My wife had a Corned Beef sandwich on rye. The meat description above certainly applied to the corned beef as well. The bread was soft, though a bit thick for a sandwich. It was marbled (dark and white swirled) with excellent flavor and freshness. Service was prompt, professional, friendly. Young lady did her job well. We would definitely eat here again!! read more

Fantastic sandwiches, friendly staff and awesome owners! My wife and I love a great deli sandwich at the beach and Coras is our go to! I love the little shop and home feel! Try them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Had a good shrimp and sausage po' boy here for lunch last week. Order taker was friendly, which, honestly, does not seem to be uniformly true of people in service occupations on this island. read more

To say this place is unassuming from the street is like saying the President has a fondness for Tweeting. But based on the Yelp reviews we went in anyway. Glad we did. This is a small stand alone building but with more than adequate parking. But as this is a beach community, many walk up or ride their bikes. The place is spotless and based on the posters hanging on the wall, the owner has a great sense of humor. (Cora is a pet.) There is inside and outside seating. A wide selection of 20 sandwiches, 7 wraps, 4 salads, and a kids menu. All sauces, soups, and salads are made fresh daily. The breads and buns are made locally and the Po' Boy bread is fantastic. All the wraps are lightly grilled. Large is the operative word for the sandwiches. A selection of Utz chips are available as are cold water and other sodas and fruit drinks. Ordering is done at the counter and your food is brought to your table. Considering we were a party of 6, the wait was reasonable for made to order items. I had the Cajun seasoned shrimp and andouille sausage fully dressed Po' Boy. Excellent. A few words of caution: the mildly spiced shrimp will react with any degree of sun burned lips. Enough said but it was worth the pain. The bloodied Werewolf wrap is made from succulent "werewolf", or as we know it, turkey breast. The incredible adds were pistachios, cranberries, and house made strawberry jam. I had to steal a taste to believe the jam's impact on the combination. Visionary. Then there was the Cuban which would make Fidel smile. Likewise the Reuban; excellent. Do yourself a favor when in Surf City if Topsail Beach. Eat here! read more

Quirky dog themed (Cora is a dog) young in cheek stories of her adventures cover the walls. Sandwiches run $6 to $10 can drinks $2 they have an awesome. Blueberry tea. Was shocked to see cuban sandwiches on the menu. I asked about the Bread and they admitted it was French bread not traditional Cuban bread which is no surprise since tTamia Florida is s long way away from here. I tried the cora cristo sandwich and wifey had Cuban breakfast sandwich they also have zapp's chips. The Cora Cristo was amazing. It is on the breakfast menu. The Cuban breakfast wrap was great but pales in comparison. Staff was shorthand at the end of the season but they pulled trough with fling colors even though the had done double their normal breakfast volume. Blueberry tea was a great find I recommend it. We really drove over to topsail just to eat and we're not disappointed! read more

Food average but it's on the island so it's convenient. Crappy customer service...CRAPPY!!! Expect to be treated as if your a bother... the woman at the counter taking your order is a bitch!!! When u enter the restaurant you walk up to the counter to order...but evidently...she doesn't like the arrangement....n will greet you w a....do you mind?!?!!! N then ignore you until the people in front of you, who insisted you go before them, order first. Actually...I do mind, so I'm leaving you a crappy review to go w your crappy service. Sandwich sellin b stressful sometimes...with a whole 4 people to assist....but we're talking meat on bread. read more

On this end of the island, the BEST end, that is, you have a handful of options for meals out. Pricey but good, cheap and mediocre, old style seafood, quick pier food, and Cora's Deli. Welcome to Sandwich Nirvana, as the sign indoors says. All the ingredients are carefully culled, top notch meats, flavorful cheeses, well seasoned sauces, hefty breads. They have a great variety of sandwiches from inventive to classic. Canned drinks, bagged chips on the side. You definitely get what you pay for at this wonderful new-ish deli on the south end, and might have to save the second half of that Reuben for later. Delicious. read more

Had lunch here today. Fun little deli! Had the bloody werewolf and it was very tasty! Son had the French dip and it looked good! My wife tried all of ours and said all were good! The photos of Cora's adventures have made this little deli a must stop! Can't wait to come back! read more

Great food, options and reasonably priced! Definitely a hidden gem! We love eating there or even getting it to go!

Fast, delicious, good quality and consistent. I have hard time seeing a gray hound and not asking if it is Cora. Hours are touch unpredictable but I respect that for family owned restaurant. Most recently, I appreciate their responsibility in infection control despite very busy season. Masks, signs, distancing, sanitizer, customer limitations. I'd still limit indoor seating, but doing the best at Topsail beach. Love this place year after year. read more
