I come here often even though it's on the opposite end of the city from me, because EVERY Time has been a Positive Fun experience! I've met the owner John a couple times, he was kind and not afraid to get right into the work load on the floor, kitchen and behind the scenes. His staff work hard and most importantly the food ALWAYS Fresh and Delicious! My friends and I will be back again ! I'm not big into franchise breakfast places, but THIS particular place is all heart and I think it's worth every dime! read more

Cora Breakfast and Lunch - Pancakes, fresh fruit, coffee and a lovely morning - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherwood Park, Alberta

Our server Maddy (I think) was awesome. She joked with us and helped us pick a great breakfast. She was on top of our coffee needs and water. I ordered my usual fab the crepe omelet which was delicious and served nice and hot. read more

Yummy yummy yummy I got fruits in my tummy! One of my favourite breakfast/brunch places around town! Love the cute foodie/ingredient artistic pictures along the walls, very bright interior matches the colours of sunrises and delicious fruits. The staff are pretty nice, and sometimes you get that super enthusiastic early morning person which is great! I've never had bad food here - it's always been deliciously roasted/toasted/baked/broiled/sliced/diced to perfection French toast and crepes are my favourite brekkie dishes, and they know how to pile on the fresh fruit yum! It's also decently priced for the quality and quantity that you receive Ps - tasty fruit smoothies are in! Get the summer flavours while you can!! read more

Cora Breakfast and Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherwood Park, Alberta

It was extremely dead when we arrived at 10. We ordered the salmon bagel, chocolate banana pancake meal, and one of their breakfast plates with a little bit of everything. The food came out in a timely matter. Everything was just ok nothing special. Honestly, I wouldn't come back. $90 for three coffees and three breakfast orders just seems so excessive. The service is just alright too. Almost like they'd rather be somewhere else than serving. This just wasn't a hit with us. Cora's is way to expensive for breakfast. read more

The customer service here is horrible, we asked for our bill and got told no. Her name I believe was kya, rudest person I've ever met. We will not be coming back. It was disappointing. read more

Busy little breakfast joint but the staff are wonderful and the food is always good. If you plan on going on the weekend, give yourself extra time as there is usually a lineup to get a table. We come here often and are never disappointed. I love the eggs benny! read more

Cora Breakfast and Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherwood Park, Alberta

Cora's has become my son's and my favorite place to sneak off to for breakfast before "the girls" wake up. That being said..if my daughter stirs early enough...she is always excited to tag along. Even before the kids started joining me, I must say one of my favorite ways to start the day was to be here at openning for a hearty breakfast. Because of the early nature of all our visits however...we never really experience the zoo that this place becomes later in the morning, and the sevice is always good. Food is consistant. Ironically...I often find the obliguatory "pile of fruit" is occasionally not of the highest quality. Of all the times I have eaten here (over 20 I'm sure), i have only had poor food once. I complained. It was replaced and I didn't pay for it. As it should be. Amazing...no. Hearty breakfast. Yes. But I'll be back. I just can't get enough of their eggs beni! read more

I am a big fan of Cora's I know people seem to be fairly divided on it, but at the end of the day there is one thing for certain and there is always a crazy line up on the weekends. I never have a problem waiting 15-20 minutes because they do a good job moving people through. The staff are always friendly, which I know I wouldn't be having to deal with that many people in the morning. I love the food, I always get the Panini -Crepe and have always devoured it. I love all the fruit as well. Plus the daily fruit cocktail is a must have. read more

My friend and I had to make a quick trip out to Sherwood Park this morning and we were feeling quite hungry come like lunch time. Upon arrival we were greeted by quite possibly the most chipper and cheerful hostess I've ever encountered. Almost over the top but actually genuine... Made me think of a SNL Parody for some reason! Never the less, it was a great way to start our experience. We were told our servers name (which I now forget... I think it was Shawn?). He greeted us with a smile and offered us some beverages. He told us what the fruit juice cocktail of the day was and went off to fetch our drinks. By the time he came back we still hadn't decided what we wanted so he gave us a little more time. Once we were ready he came right over and took our order. Wasn't long before our food arrived. It was delivered by two lovely ladies, describing our dishes and not auctioning them off! Beautiful and fresh as always. I don't really have much to say as its so consistent here. Always perfect, always hot and always fresh! Not one complaint regarding the food... Absolutely delicious! When it came time for our bill we waited, and waited and waited some more... Stacked our plates and put them at the edge of our table and well... Waited some more! We could see our server and he walked by our table NUMEROUS times. Clearly busy but it takes a second to drop off a bill. We eventually asked another server if she could grab it for us. Our server came over within moments and handed us our bills. :-) Service here isn't bad, just slow when it comes time for the bill. Maybe he should have asked for some help if he was falling behind! I will likely be back as I do really enjoy Cora's! read more

Try the goat cheese and spinach Benedict! it comes with pan fried potatoes and a mountain of fruit. An awesome breakfast for a big day. Wash it all down with a bowl of coffee. Coras is still a happy hub for a great meal and friendly service. read more

Cora Breakfast and Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherwood Park, Alberta

We've been to the Edmonton area several times the last few years and the last 2 years we've eaten at Cora's. We love, love, love this place for breakfast/brunch! Good quality food, great service and massive portions - especially for the price! Anytime we're up in the area from the States...we will always make time to enjoy breakfast at Cora's. We'll see you again the next time we're up for a visit! read more

I don't know why there's so much Cora's hate here. I quite liked this restaurant. I've been to Cora's on the southside before and I know there's usually a line. If there's a line go in, and put your name in for a table. With just my friend and I we only had to wait about ten minutes to get seated, which isn't that long. If you're visiting with a larger party it may take more time. Whenever I go here I always have a hard time debating what to get. Although I love the fruit smoothies I started with a mochacinno because I really needed a coffee. Unlike one of my fellow Yelpers I did get whip (and quite a bit) on mine. The drink was good, but very sweet. Then it's the debate between something savoury, like the eggs benedict or something sweet like the raspberries for lucie crepe. I went with sweet and got the crepe with banana and nutella and whipped cream on top. There's just one crepe but it's huge and very delicious. It's rather sweet and I also ordered a side of bacon which was pretty good. But it was so much food. I always forget that when I go to Cora's, you get a lot of food. The only bad thing was we got seated at a booth first, which I found very squished. If you like a bit of space make sure to request a table. Luckily our server came back and asked if we wanted to moved to a table, so we did. Sherwood Park is a bit out of the way for me, so I can't say I'd come back to this location right away. However; if you're in Sherwood Park or on the east side of the city it's pretty easy to get to and good spot for breakfast/brunch. read more

My top compliment today was that Cora's package for take-out was ENTIRELY compostable - no plastic at all. I'm trying to find restaurants that use environmentally friendly packaging and support them. I was really pleased to see Cora making this choice. Thanks! It's tough to find a breakfast place that is not too fatty and that gives a good fruit serving. This one is it. With take-out, it's a fruit salad. But if you eat in they make it look nice on the plate. I had the mushroom and brie eggs Benedict. My egg was perfect, the sauce was great, as usual. And I love their potatoes. read more

I've always loved their food though I'd recommend eating in house rather than ordering for take out.

I think I can easily define myself as a "regular" customer here. I have not once been disappointed from the food or (especially) the service! These waitresses and waiters make your time there so enjoyable! Coffee always being offered, check ups often, excellent knowledge and recommendations! Love the food and the staff and highly recommend this location! My recommendation & tip however would be show up earlier on weekends, or be prepared to wait about 10-30mins average for a table as it is very popular and busy at that time. It is however definitely worth the wait! read more

I was really REALLY excited to check out Cora as I had heard so many positive things from fairly health conscious people. I decided to go on a Saturday for brunch. I went solo as I do enjoy dining by myself sometimes and people watching and enjoying some quiet with my thoughts. I was seated promptly and was excited to check out the menu. A server came by shortly and took my drink order. I ordered green tea which arrived quickly. I was never given water and I am not sure if this is something I was supposed to ask for or if it was missed. As I browsed their menu, I decided to throw the "healthy brunch" goal out the door. Ham and Cheddar crepe Panini with Hollandaise and a mound of fruit looked extremely appealing. I ordered the dish and expected to wait a while as the restaurant was very busy. My food arrive fast. Maybe a bit too fast. The crepe itself was barely heated up (I am assuming they are not fresh made) and the egg inside the crepe was cold, yet somehow the ham in the middle was warm, however none of it was by any means hot. This concerned me a bit as food needs to be at a certain temperature in restaurants to be considered "safe", and I didn't see how this could meet those requirements. Remembering though that I have eaten far worse while traveling , and being a firm believer in not wasting food, I dug in. I had taken about two bites before I realized something was missing. The dish had a good amount of salt to it with the ham and cheese, but it was missing something to balance it out. and then I realized what it was........the Hollandaise sauce! I was REALLY looking forward to the Hollandaise sauce and it was completely forgotten! Not there, not even a drop, definitely missing. My server never came by again to see how my meal was. The fruit was very good and fresh, but the crepe made me seriously sad. I may check out another location to see if this was specific to this location, however I have crossed Cora off my "places to have a nice brunch" list as I think cooking food in a restaurant is a bare minimum expectation. read more

I have held off on writing this update for a long time - I absolutely love the idea behind Cora`s!! Piles of fresh fruit decorating interestingly colourful breakfast concoctions. Sadly, fresh is not always the case; and waiting in a tiny crowded entranceway for 20+ minutes every single time is pretty standard here. It took me FOREVER to convince the BF to stand in line with me to try this place out (I had been once or twice before, but he had not). It took even longer for both our blood pressures to drop enough for us to try and enjoy our meal after the ridiculous wait (personal space advocate or not; jamming that many people into that small of a space is just NOT COOL!). Breakfast is one of those meals you like to sit, relax, and enjoy. Not here!! Everything is rush, Rush, RUSH...our server seemed so overly busy that she could barely stop to take a breath, let alone show us the attentiveness we deserved (AKA what you would expect for the prices you are paying). Although the food was decent, the fruit was way over ripe!! So to top of the not so great experience, I was also made to feel like the worst GF ever for dragging him out to try (against his better judgement), and then having to watch him doubled over with excruciating stomach pain for the rest of his Saturday. Sorry Cora`s but I think it will be some time (at least) before we meet again! read more

My first time and was skeptical to even go after hearing two polarized views. I get in the door and meet total awkwardness...being stared at next to the "Please wait to be seated" sign. Ordered the 4th of July: crepes, french toast and fresh fruit. The crepes were obviously pre made and frozen, with very chewy texture and dry ends. Yuck. Only saving grace was fresh fruit on top. Put your money to better use at another joint or make breakfast yourself. Not worth the visit. read more

First visit here the staff was very attentive and friendly. Food was good and we were seated in a separate room considering we had 3 kids in tow and 4 adults. Come early to avoid lineup. Service is quick and food came out at a reasonable amount of time. read more

This was my third time to a Cora restaurant. Same atmosphere inside, but it just seemed lacking compared to the one's in Edmonton. First there wasn't an animal fruit display like we saw in the South Edmonton location when you walk in. The North Edmonton location at least had a fruit display even if they weren't shaped like animals. This location had nothing. Seating took awhile because the hostess really took her time, so table sat empty for the longest time. It also seemed as though (and I may be wrong here) some people were getting seated ahead of others because they knew the hostess. In particular one group of four (looked like grandparents with their grandkids) were seated almost immediately upon arriving and were on a first name basis with the hostess. Our waitress was friendly. However we had to ask repeatedly for water before she finally complied. We were also ready to order when she took our drink order but she rushed off before we could order our food. The food was delicious as always. I had a mochaccino which I've had a different location. There was no whip, and it wasn't all that great (in fact it was almost a chore to drink it). We all ordered bacon as a side, and I was a little disappointed to notice that 2 out of 3 of us had 4 strips of bacon while the third only received 3 pieces. Overall, I wouldn't come back to this location. I love Cora, but this location could do better I think. read more

The wait here was atrocious. Like really bad to sit then for food. I LOVE Cora but this location maybe needs to get it together. They gave my friend someone elses food then took it back a couple minutes later. I do love the quality of food. The fruit is always on point. The new menu is a bit overwhelming. If you go all the time its probably a nice change. The water and coffee were never more then half empty so whoever was in charge of that they get a gold star! read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT EVEr! i've been coming here for years and they never disappoint. make sure to get the eggs ben addict and the breakfast poo teen . loveeeee IT! they even let you colour! mmmmm yum yum :) read more

Great customer service and good value for what you pay! Would definitely recommend going here over a Denny's or Tutti Frutti as the food seems more authentic and flavourful. read more

They made a small mistake on my Togo order and went above and beyond to make sure it was remedied and I was satisfied.

The staff here is always really friendly, the portions are big, and most importantly the food is excellent. I always bring family here when they visit for breakfast and brunch. read more

This breakfast nook Definitely lived up to the hype for my husband and I! It was totally not expensive as people have complained about or claimed. Unless you are going to A&W (which we do like as well from time to time), the prices match...but what you get is above and beyond. The fruit alone makes it worthy...but the food was excellent too! Our server Jacks was soooo friendly and kind. Go go go! ;) read more

The last time I've went to Cora's I got a breakfast sandwich. I didn't even take a bite without the whole sandwich falling apart at my hands. I'm a personal lover of big portions for the amount of money that you are paying but sometimes it gets kind of crazy there! If you are going to Cora's it would be the best out of your interest to get something that isn't wrapped around something because it's mostly likely gonna fall out when you try to hold it. I did however try my family's crepes and there quite good, Cora's known for making delicious sweet breakfast dishes and is worth going there for. The staff are friendly and you are filled to the brine with drink refills which is always nice when you have a lot of food infront of you. read more

Not sure if they have the Renovation Blues or not - but today's experience was terrible! First they made my wife throw out her Tim Hortons steeped tea before she was seated (I guess so she could buy the crappier, more expensive "Chez Cora" version... Lots of water - but only one measly tea bag!). Ordered an omelette and her options for sides: potatoes. Or tomatoes. Because, you know, that makes sense. So she added on a "ramekin of fruit". For $3.50. More like "a meager offering of fruit". 2 strawberries, a slice of kiwi and a few grapes. Needless to say for a little bit more she could have had the buffet at the Fairmont. That's about it for us - the ridiculous wait times used to be worth the great food and above-par service. Now not so much. Hope this is just an off day for them! read more

Just had a good breakfast! Eggs Benny with a ton of fruit! Gets very busy very quickly. The price was a little expensive but I would definitely go back as a treat! read more

Came back on a Saturday morning...was busy but service was awesome & my gluten free menu choice was melt in your mouth - just delish!!! I've changed my mind...I will for sure be back....ask for Douglas as your server - he's amazing!! read more

Waited for 30 mins after we got sat in our seats and did not get served, waiter Annika walked past us multiple times and did not even place our order, so we just left. Doesn't even deserve 1 star. First time there and won't be returning. read more

I love Cora's mainly because there's so much choice, from eggs Benny to real oatmeal (the best anywhere), lots of fresh fruit, good coffee, smoothies, etc. Parking is an issue, so just plan to get there a bit early & you'll be fine. Besides, with the amount of food you get, a little walk afterward won't hurt anyone! Go, enjoy! read more

I've always had friendly wonderful service. The food is nothing special, I prefer my own breakfast to it honestly, but my daughter loves it and since there's never a wait it's well worth it for a relaxing breakfast out. read more

My wife, 1 year old and I went here recently and we were seated right away as the restaurant was quiet, but after waiting 25min without getting any service at all we walked out. Tables came in after we were seated and got their drink orders taken but I guess they were too busy with the other 10 people in the restaurant to serve us. I'd recommend driving down broadmoor to Tutti Fruity instead. Had a great breakfast there. read more

Extremely overpriced bad service and long wait times just a bunch of girls that don't want to be there

This is not so much a review of Cora's as it is for this location. As a regular patron of the North and West locations, Cora has become my go to breakfast spot. This week I was in Sherwood Park and decided that it would be a reliable choice for brunch. After the two of us had ordered, our food (4th of July and a Crepomelette) arrived quickly enough. Unfortunately we immediately found that our crepes were tough and chewy. I didn't mind it too much, but on the 4th of July it was simply unenjoyable. Now I know that its rude to eat everything and then complain, so after a few bites she set it aside to wait for our server. By time she showed up, I was completely done my meal (without any coffee refills) and we mdidn't have time to wait for a new meal. She took it away only to return and say the manager had adjusted the bill for us. He adjusted it by taking a whole $4 off of the $14 uneaten plate. Now I don't normally complain or ask for free things, but I've worked enough in hospitality to know that it is courtesy to refund an uneaten and unacceptable meal. After many visits with great food and service I came to expect more from a great franchise, but this experience will probably keep me from this location. read more
