Food 4/5 (60% of final grade) This was my first experience with Cora's, and I fell in love. The portion sizes, the taste, the balance of sweet and savoury/healthy and unhealthy sides-- everything was superb! The fruit was really fresh, and the coffee is bottomless!! They even had decaf for lil ol' caffeine-sensitive me! Ambiance 2.5/5 (10% of final grade) Not much to say about the ambiance -- it was a comfy establishment. The premises felt clean enough. With a yellow smiling sun and green rounded lettering as your brand, I can't really imagine too much of an "ambiance" except comfy. Service 3/5 (10% of final grade) The server was cold at the beginning of the meal, but began to warm up at the end of it. Most of the servers always had a coffee pot in hand, ready to refill any coffee. Cost 3.5/5 (10% of final grade) Was worth. 'Nuf said. Brownie Points 3.5/5 (10% of final grade) Because it's Cora's. Final Grade = 73/100 = 3 Stars from mom! TLDR: I've been converted. read more

This is a good place with a nice breakfast. Service is good and suitable for a weekend breakfast. read more

I generally enjoy going to Cora's but I was not pleased at this location. I came here twice thunjing maybe the first time was just a bad day for the waiter but i was wrong. I've been to several Cora's but this one by far was the worst. First of, the service. This female seemed to be a little confused, either she is new or she didn't want to do her job? My friend and I was standing at the front waiting to be seated and this young female looks at us, then looks around, then back at us, pauses and slowly walks towards us. With no greeting, she just says "follow me". So we get to our seat and thankfully our server was friendlier. BUT the food. My omelette was falling apart. I've been to many other locations and I know how it's suppose to look like but they've put less fruits AND my omelette was not cooked properly. I can make better omelettes and it seemed as if they tried adding water to the egg mixture. As for the table, it was quite sticky and not wiped down properly. I don't think I'll return to this location. read more

Our bartender recommended this place to us for breakfast and to our surprise it was just across the street from our hotel. We have it a try and waited nearly 35 minutes for a table on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered and two of the three entrees we ordered were incorrect but the server discounted both by 50% each. The food came in fairly large portions, especially the banana crepe (we added strawberries to it, too). If you like fresh fruit, this is definitely a great spot for you as they serve many dishes with lots of it. Overall, the food was good. read more

Cora - Cora's breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

I always come to Cora's cause breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I love to eat breakfast cause then I feel energized for the rest of the day! I've visited this particular location a handful of times and I do like the food and they're always consistent. However, I do believe that on weekends, the customer service lacks a bit and I tend to have to wait a bit to get seated. The last time I came to Cora's I got a cappuccino to start. I was very pleased with the taste and it was much needed. As per usual, I ordered the "Louis the Undecided" because.. I can never choose between savoury and sweet cause I do like a bit of both worlds. The "Undecided" comes with 2 eggs, bacon and roasted potatoes served with a scrumptious crêpe filled with bananas, strawberries and creamy chocolatey-hazelnut spread. I also customize my crêpe - with strawberries and custard only. The crêpe is to die for.. always hits the spot! I highly recommend this item and I really hope they keep this on the menu. I've also had their "Breakfast on a Cheddar crêpe" which comes with 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausages served on a delicious Breakfast on a Cheddar crêpe. I did enjoy this, however, you must be warned that the cheddar crêpe is extremely heavy and there's enough food for two people. Regardless of the customer service, the food outweighs the service (hands down) and I'll definitely be visiting Cora's again! PS. Just to let you know, if you check in, you can redeem a free 'daily cocktail'. I have to be quite honest though, it doesn't taste that good.. unfortunately. read more

Firstly, if I were to review just the service of this place, I would give it 5 stars, as we were 10 people today and our server handled us amazingly. However, about the food, there had been a drastic change in their menu. THERE IS NO BEEF ANYMORE :( They have replaced pretty much everything that came with beef, to ham; I was going to order eggs Benedictine with beef only to find out that beef had been eradicated from their menu. My poor stomach had to settle for brie cheese and mushroom. read more

We're lucky we found this place for breakfast and lunch. Good food, elegantly served by friendly staff. Food is fresh and you can tell the care that goes into each dish. Definitely highly recommend this place, also good for kids read more

*Review for 5/4/2014 After running a half marathon, all I wanted was lot of carbs and syrup. Since this Cora's location was near my hotel, I decided to try it out. It was packed but the wait was short. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. Simply, I wanted French toast with lots of syrup. I order the seventh of July , but I asked for the fruit to be placed on the side. The French toast was hot and good, but it wasn't a stand out. There wasn't anything special about the whole experience; it was simply ok. With the Yelp check-in, I received a free fruit cocktail. I ordered the mango banana one. Again, it was simply ok. I'm sure if I would order it again since I am not a fan of bananas. Overall, my experience wasn't bad, and it was convenient to my hotel. If you haven't eaten at a Cora's, then it would definitely be worth a try. You may find something on the menu that stands out to you. read more

Cora - Cora's special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

Disgusting place. Cockroaches everywhere and the manager guy who is also a server will make sure that your day is ruined. I asked him for a coffee and he looked absolutely annoyed. In fact every time I called he looked like he stepped on a lego or sth. Also spotted him yelling at hostesses for being slow while he was chit chatting away with one table for the entire course of my meal. Then if you complain about it, he would purposely look away and not visit your table until you call for the twentieth time. This guy doesnt deserve tips. Just give it directly to the hostesses who apparently dont get any! read more

I go to this location often. It is busy (as one should expect) on the weekends, but the staff handle the rush extremely well... but they may call out a variation of your name you might not recognize... be sure to CLEARLY state your name when getting registered on their wait-list; I was once called "Lengy", which is the strangest variation of my name yet (LOL). The food is consistently great. I've always been confused about the lettuce as a garnish, but that is miniscule(HA!). My eggs are never watery, which is MOST important. The staff are efficient, kind, considerate of special requests, and really great at topping up your coffee or hot water (for tea). They move around like fluid between those tightly situated tables, and my hat is off to them. I have always found the washrooms to be clean, well stocked with toiletries and available. This location has free parking, although getting a spot there is CRAZY. There's back-up parking in the lot across the street that caters to Tim Horton's customers. read more

I headed out to Cora's for the first time this weekend. There was a massive line up outside on the Sunday morning and the wait was well over 40 minutes but worth it ! The food was hot and fresh and though a little on the pricey side it definitely filled me up. I ended up getting a kid's size smoothie with the tuna melt sandwich and had to take half of it home because all the fruit on the side had me full. Great atmosphere with bright colours and a perfect way to start your day with family or friends. The staff was friendly and the young lady serving us was very kind and asked us throughout if we needed anything, even though the place was jam packed and she was attending multiple tables. Totally going back ! read more

Cora - Tuna melt sandwich with heaps of fruit and a kid's size fruit cocktail. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

The menu is huge and awesome. The quality is meh. We've gone a handful of times and we ALWAYS get really sad fruit (some with rot spots) on the saddest piece of lettuce ever (wilted and gross). My sister has been to a few locations, so we gave them a couple of tries, but I think we're done. Several times the radio was blaring horrible static and the staff refused to change the channel or turn it down despite the interference. Really itched our ears and brains during our fam brunch. The service is generally slow. The hostess are usually disinterested and phoney friendly (really off putting). We ordered an extra meal for take out and when we got home, it was completely a different menu item. read more

So this morning when I woke up, first thing in my mind is egg Benedict. I googled the nearest cora's . I have been to many Other locations, such as Richmondhill, Scarborough,etc. I also lived in BC for 5 years so I tried many different Coras in BC as well. This Cora? Is must be a joke. Serves was bad, the guy was literally talking to his coworker while I was waiting for the water. Didn't bother to check on me while I'm eating!! And the food sucks.. Everything was over cooked. The Hollandaise sauce was too salty and they put too much lemon juice in it. So it tastes both salty and sour. I can not believe they ruined the spirite of the egg Benedict. read more

Cora - How everything was over cooked... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

I love Cora breakfast, if you go late you have to stay in lines. I ordered egg with bacon , sausage and pancake, it was delicious but it's pricey read more

This particular breakfast place is overpriced for the size of meal they offer. The quality is good.

Cora offers a fabulous breakfast & lunch menu and huge portions. This location is great, service and food were spot on! My first check in garnered a free fruit cocktail coupon. Perfect! read more

The Goods: Great breakfast and brunch place with lots of choices, big portions for the price, family oriented, efficient service, only place I can find decent French style crepes in Toronto, brightly lit and clean restaurant, plates are colourful with lots of fruits The Bads: lineups, restrooms are small( should expand to the vacant unit next door), not cheap breakfast fare (see above for portions though), soft bacons, wait staff always busy Was thinking about 4 stars but tipped to overlooking some of the Bads knowing how busy they are. read more

I live nearby and always come here. This location can get a little busy, but I rarely have to wait long. Staff is always friendly and efficient! The food is great, my favourite is the 10 Star Omelette and 10 Star Skillet (because I don't like having to use my hands when eating, which means public washroom trips to wash my hands after). Portions are huge! They always refill your coffee too. Will continue coming here over and over again! read more

Surprisingly enough, seating was very quick and so is service. Very polite and knows everything on menu, the server. We had a little less pricey breakfasts but you're pay'in for what you get. Good portions, definitely will come here again. read more

Don't go to this location. The customer service went downhill, the place is filthy and the location needs a GOOD painting and refurnishing. WAITRESS WAS HORRIBLY RUDE, INTERRUPTING, RUDE TO A KID, AND RUSHED US, WE HAD TO LEAVE. Went here with my family, we got here right before closing, and the hostess let us in to sit down. As we were trying to order, our waitress kept interrupting my Father as he tried to order, and "shushing" my nephew (he is 4 and sometimes his voice is too loud), but this waitress (I know her name, but I don't feel like its fair to ruin her job, we will give her another chance and hope she finds herself and her soul in the future), completely RUSHED my Dad and our orders, she was so totally RUDE and it made me feel so sad that we came here on this beautiful sunny afternoon. It was a special day since my boyfriend wanted to take my Dad and nephew out to lunch and we planned on coming to Cora's for such a long time. Unfortunately its hard to get my nephew out of the house in time and we just almost missed closing. But this girl was SO RUDE, IMPATIENT, JUDGEMENTAL, INCONSIDERATE. I told my Father that we had to get up and leave, it wasn't worth the money to be treated this way. I wouldn't PAY to sit in this girl's presence any longer, and not to mention the way she was disrespecting my father. We got up getting ready to leave and I asked the waitress for her name as she began to cry, she knew that what she did was wrong. All the other staff saw and knew what was going on. I hope she got disciplined and learned her lesson, and I think its only fair to explain what happened here. I do not have the heart to disclose her name online. As if I was in this situation as the server, I would wish to have a second chance and learn from my mistakes, and grow as a person. What really peeved me off was the fact that I could tell she was just in it for the money and not doing her job to make and give good energy and a good experience to a family. I work at a grocery store, and when customers come up to me and ask me questions or for help, I always smile and go the extra mile to make their day enjoyable. That is just who I am. having a miserable human being, only existing for her tip and to make some $$, not caring about the quality of life she is providing in her presence, is just INTOLERABLE for me. Anyway, the service here sucks. Go to the one in Vaughan. read more

Had a great breakfast at Cora's. The omelets were very good, just like the service. I would definitely go back again.

Arrived at approx 9 a.m on a Friday and asked for a table for 1. Placed my order. After waiting 20 minutes for my food, the server explained the kitchen was "really backed up" and it would be another 15-20 minutes for my food. I told him to keep it, and that I'd pay for my coffee. Won't be returning to this location, and doubt I would give the chain another chance. read more

This is the second time I've eaten at Cora's. The first time was over a year ago, at a different location. The food was great. Service was great. Overall, the experience was great. This time, not so much. The wait was only about 15 mins, which is expected, especially on weekends. We were seated at a two-seated table, towards the back of the restaurant and between the wall and pillar. There was barely any room to move. It seemed as though the table was randomly placed there to accommodate for the wait. As I skimmed the menu, I was set on ordering the Cora's special. Because I am avoiding starchy carbs at the moment, I asked if I could substitute the potatoes and bread for anything. I was told I would get sliced tomatoes. Other breakfast spots have offered me extra eggs, fruits or even a salad as an alternative. This did not seem like a fair replacement for 2 of the items in my breakfast. Nevertheless, I settled on getting the "10 star omelette" that contained bacon, ham, sausages, frankfurters, bologna, spinach, green onions, tomatoes, onions, red and green peppers, mushrooms and Cheddar cheese. I replaced the toast and potatoes for the sliced tomatoes and was given a bit of fruit as well, which somewhat compensated. I forgot to mention no onions (my fault), so I had to pick them out of the omelette and they were huge. I also ordered a side of bacon and was given 4 strips that were too overcooked. I found them more hard, than crispy. For the most part, the food was satisfactory. The omelette was fairly large. Unfortunately, the last bite of my omelette had egg shells in it, so that kind of ruined it a bit. In total, my meal was about $18 before taxes. Too over priced, for my experience. Because I've only been to this chain twice and the first time was good, I won't base my overall opinion on this one less-than-great experience and still rate it a 3/5. read more

A little busy here in the mornings but Thays to be expected. Good food and good service

I just came here today, and as always I am quite happy with Coras. The lines are intimidating, and they never seem to end. However, I suppose the turnover is not that bad, had to wait about 25 minutes today. Our food was okay this time, nothing to cheer about. I had been craving Eggs benny, my usual. But today it was cold, and my boyfriends meal was a tad cold as well. Not too sure why. Also the Hollandaise sauce wasn't totally on point or smooth, intact a tad clumpy. The eggs even though I ordered soft, only one of them was. The food was still good, and the end of the day always happy with coras but sometimes its just some of the small things, that need to be mastered.... read more

Never before have I had to wait ten minutes just for the waitress to take my drink order, nor have I ever had to wait ten minutes after that to get my water, or a refill on my coffee. This never happened to me, until I came to this Cora's location. Twice I've come to this Cora's, and twice the staff has been lazy, forgetful, and improperly trained. The food is good, but all Cora's locations serve great food, so find another location because this one will just make your blood boil. read more

Bunch of friends visited Cora's over the weekend. There was a long line and we had to wait for over half n hr to b seated.. We were 6 of us and everyone checked-in but u can redeem only one free cocktail per bill.. Coming to the food.. We ordered crepomelettes and theos omelette.. Crepomelette was a disappointment.. Too much liquid cheese and the taste of the crepe + omelette was not good at all.. Theos was good but i would prefer eggsmart's veg omelette over it anytime.. Mango banana smoothie could have been better with a little more of mango flavor.. All in al a very average experience read more

I absolutely love this place. It is well worth the long wait which just shows how popular it is and the menu is exquisite. I ordered an crepomlette which was divine and also redeemed free cocktails through yelp. My husband didn't even have a yelp account but the cashier was so patient and told us we could have two transactions to get both cocktails for free :) read more

So cheap on everything. So much for breakfast. They put the tiniest sliver of brie u wouldn't even know it was there. The potatoes burnt. The hollandaise sauce was barely on the plate. When I asked if they can put some on my plate like the picture they told me they would charge me extra. Sooooooo cheap. Go to other locations instead of wasting your money here. read more

Food was pretty good and good options. Service was okay working zone but had a lot at the beginning and pretty much nothing at the end. Brought food with no condiments and had to keep getting up since no one came by. Overall would come back but sitting closer to the kitchen probably gets better service. read more

Their fruit bowl with yogurt is really good! Will definitely gpnna come back, their eggs ben et dectone ham is pretty good and the wife loved it! Also love the jo construction meal! For the price, it is worth it! read more

Normally, I expect and have always been provide with clean food here, not greasy, and very fresh. This location is disappointing. Both times I came here my grapes that were added to my dish as a garnish were molded. The service was great though. Very friendly staff and accommodating. Food is zero, staff is five stars so...Im leaving it with a three star review. read more

This location has horrible service. I ordered an omelette yesterday and as a side, instead of fruits and bread and potatoes, I asked just for potatoes only. Easy right? NO! First they brought me the wrong order, then the manager came to explain they can't give me potatoes only as it's against policy. Really?!? Then I waited 30 minutes again while everything else got ice cold only for them to bring a small amount of potatoes on the side with the cold omelette. They removed the bread and the fruit but they added a few small pieces of potatoes despite them saying it was ok to get all potatoes during the order. And finally, in my bill, I see they charged me $3 for potatoes. So for getting nothing instead of the substitute food, I was charged $3 extra as well and no apology or explanation when I asked for it. I will never go to this location as this is the millionth time they piss me off with poor customer service and wrong orders. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else. read more

Food OK but expect inattentive service and dour attitudes, sticky tables and dirty cutlery, lineup even though a dozen empty tables inside. A blemish on the Cora brand, compared to others in the chain. read more

This used to be an "OK" place. But it has become overcrowded, with long waiting list. They rush to bring you uncooked breakfast, the cheese on the omelette is not even melted and stays solid...... I stopped going to this place after their prices hiked. Paying over $30 for 2 veggie omelettes not including coffee seems a little too much for their quality of food and service. read more

Good food with VERY big portions. Rather than sit there and eat, I prefer to take out my usual order: spinach & Swiss cheese omelette with fruit and roasted potatoes (yum!) and a side of Hollandaise sauce. The servers are pretty polite and accommodating at this location despite the constant flow of hungry, sometimes impatient customers. When I do eat there on weekends, it doesn't feel like they're rushing me to finish so they can give the table to another party, which is a bonus at a busy brunch diner. read more

My wife and I went there for the first time yesterday. The service was poor, the potatoes were under cooked, the bacon was all fat. The blueberry crepes were inedible. They were not pancakes nor crepes. The omelettes are either their way or not at all. Ok, the bagel and coffee were OK. We would never go back. read more

- I love Cora's and this was a good location- great service, yummy food. Maybe slightly expensive.
