They have everything from Benedicts and breakfast bowls to pancakes, French toast, crepes, avocado toast, smoothies, and coffee. We ordered "Garden Fresh Bowl" with Matcha Latte and enjoyed the delicious breakfast and friendly service.

We seated, then everything was a bit of a wait as a server was looking after many tables. The Bowl-Sunrise was a bad choice as it came with many fried potatoes & the chorizo sausage was crumbled and deep fried, I could hardly taste the sausage, though the sunny side up egg was great. The Avocado Lox was a much better choice and the flat white was so so. We ended up paying $63 (tax & service charge inclusive), there are many more comparable choices at this price point.

Although this is a busy brunch restaurant, the turnover happens fast, and we have never waited more than 30 minutes for a seat. Starving Artist has a wide array of coffees and teas as well as waffles and 'Bennies. We have tried quite a few of the drinks during our visits, and we have tried many of their signature dishes. The staff are great and always accommodating and very patient when my kids can't make up their minds about what they want to eat or drink. The servers have helped my kids on more than one occasion make up their minds. This is a great place for breakfast, brunch or even late afternoon coffee, and we try to go at least once a month.

Visited around 10:45 a.m. on a Tuesday. The café is tucked beside Shoppers Drug Mart, with plenty…read moreof parking available. You pass through a charming patio to enter, which was shaded nicely thanks to the size of the Shoppers building. Given the recent heatwave, we opted to sit indoors. We were greeted at the door and offered the choice between a two-person table tucked farther inside or a four-person table closer to other diners. We chose the smaller table for a bit more privacy and ease of conversation. Menus were provided right away, followed shortly by tap water. When our server checked in to ask about drinks, we let her know we were fine with just water. Later, when we were ready to order, she came promptly when we called her over. A standout moment: we ordered just one smoothie, and she kindly asked if we were sharing, then offered to split it into two cups without us even asking. A thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The Pineapple Banana Smoothie was a highlight. It was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, and incredibly refreshing. My sister ordered the Halloumi Benedict. She noted that while the waffles leaned toward a sweeter flavor on their own, the combination of waffle, egg, and halloumi was well-balanced and worked beautifully together. The egg was jammy and spot-on in terms of taste, texture, and presentation. I had the Fully Loaded, which features a potato waffle topped with bacon bits, sour cream, chives, and cheese. It leaned a bit salty, but not overwhelmingly so, still quite enjoyable overall. I loved the potato waffle which has the slightly crispy edges but was soft to bite with a texture that resembled mash potatoes. As someone who isn't usually crazy about waffles, which was such a nice alternative. Each of our mains came with a side salad (lightly dressed and refreshing) and a choice of fruit salad, maple baked beans, or potato salad. We both chose the fruit salad, which was impressively varied with orange, grapefruit, watermelon, blueberry, blackberry, and banana. Note: Payment is cash or debit only.

Came here for brunch for a girls day out and what a little gem! We came on a Thursday afternoon and…read moreit wasn't busy so I can't say how busy it gets on the weekends. I ordered their chicken kaarage with mochi waffles. The chicken was fried with a light batter. Crispy on the outside and the meat (chicken thigh) was moist and juicy. The waffles were crispy and chewy and stretchy with a hint of sweetness. The yuzu sauce was refreshing paired well with chicken.The dish came with a side of salad which helped balance out the heaviness of the fried chicken and mochi. We also ordered their pistachio souflle pancake and it was delectable. It was light, airy and fluffy. The pistachio sauce was creamy, nutty and aromatic without being too sweet. I also liked how it came with fruits on the side. I also ordered their hojicha latte, which was one of the best ones I've had. It was smooth, creamy, and had just the right amount of tea flavor. The milk foam had the perfect velvety texture and it came with a pretty latte art. Overall, I really enjoyed the brunch they offer here. It is a pretty simple cafe, so don't expect it to be all decked out because it's not those instagramable cafes. But the food were solid and it's a great option for a small group brunch as they don't have many tables and they don't have large tables at all (the best is to 4 people or less). Staff is very limited but it could be because we went on a Thursday and it wasn't busy. They have a QR code for you to scan and you can order directly from there and food came fairly quickly shortly after we placed our order. I would definitely return when I'm back in town.

I ordered the Wafu Carbonara after seeing decent reviews on Yelp, with the only critique being that…read morethe dish could be a bit dry. Hoping to get ahead of it, I requested the kitchen make it "more saucy." That was a huge mistake. Instead of actual sauce, it tasted like they literally just dumped water into the dish to thin it out. What arrived was a bland, watery, and completely tasteless mess. It was so flavorless that I had to aggressively add my own salt and pepper just to make it palatable. The photo speaks volumes--it was completely ruined. The service was cold and entirely hands-off. Our waitress took our order and then performed a total disappearing act. She never checked back in on us to see how the food was, and we literally never saw her again for the rest of our meal. The Verdict Between a ruined $22.50 plate of pasta and non-existent service, this place is a hard pass. Will not be returning for brunch.

Staff were always friendly and greeted you with a smile or thanked you for being a gold member. Their toaster was very slow and took a long time. That being said, their coffee was good, self serve juices were fine (grapefruit, orange, apple), tea was good, and the fruit infused water was a nice touch. Breakfast buffet consisted of fresh fruit (watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple), boiled egg, tomato, cucumber, salad greens, olive oil, various deli meats & cheeses, pastries (danish, cinnamon roll, croissants), bagels and bread, oatmeal, and dry cereal daily. They would have different types of sausage, pancakes, eggs, potato tots, potato hash, bacon, Canadian bacon, herbed tomatoes, or tomato with cheese, so you had different hot food items each day. Seating was comfortable and tables were seated with good distance from one another and was not crowded. Dining area was clean and comfortable.

This cora's does get busy on weekends so come early or be prepared to wait a bit. We waited probably 15 min for a table which wasn't too bad. The server was kind and patient. Very considerate of our family which we appreciated, didn't seem rushed but was prompt with service. The food was pretty good for breakfast. Pancakes - had a nice vanilla flavor and a slight sweetness but not too sweet. Decently fluffy interior and lots of fruit. Eggs Benedict we're cooked well sitting on mushroom and spinach. The English muffin was okay, got soggy quick though. Chicken wrap was good - chicken was not dry though not a lot of other toppings in the wrap. The crepe exterior is a nice change to a typical wrap. The skillet had tons of different ingredients though definitely on the oily side. Sunny side egg done well. Price: Expensive for breakfast - looking at min 20$ per dish before tax and tip. Summary - an expensive breakfast but consistent and decent quality/quantity of food.
