    🥞🥓🍳My favorite breakfast & brunch restaurant🤤. I come alone or with a friend/family member often. Like 2-3× a month! Highly recommend the 1990s Harvest for those who want their breakfast and sweet tooth satisfied in the same meal. 👌 The staff are friendly, fast and accommodating. Gluten-free options are available here!

    This place is cool, I got the "for the club" breakfast. It was about 12 bucks I think, but 50 cents from every order goes to feeding local under privilege kids. So that's a bonus, I always like when places do that. Nice set up as well and the rest of the menu looked pretty good too. They seem to incorporate alot of fruit into their dishes

    On vacation, don't normally eat breakfast but decided to today. The place was clean, the service was impeccable and the food was fresh, hot and cooked to perfection. One thing that amazed me was it is one of the cheapest breakfast in the city for the size of the proportions. I could dead name a few other spots that are way over hyped and way over priced with smaller portions. My meal in this picture was 15 bucks and I left a 5 buck tip. Recommend and will be back.

    Great place for breakfast! Variety of options. Unlike other places they actually serve plenty of fruits in the platter.

    Our waitress was very attentive despite being a full and busy morning. Meals were perfect and delicious. Large portions for a decent price. The restaurant is a little tired looking and probably needs an upgrade but it fits the bill of diner food.

    I've always loved going to Cora's, and this experience was no exception. Delicious food - I ordered Louis the Undecided, which is great because it is a little bit of everything. Our server, Soomi was so nice. She was very friendly, and checked on us at exactly the right time. Another great experience!

    The single waitress they had was a nice lady, but she was flustered due to it "being busy". Coming from a larger city, we were surprised but accepted it. Order came really late, all patrons were waiting for a long time. Bathrooms had no towels and food was poor quality. Needs improvement

    Great experience here overall, I come often. However I will second what a previous review said, I have had poor experiences with one of the waiters who is male and asian at the Dresden (downtown) location. He often seems more interested in finishing my table and doesn’t make much effort to small talk until it comes to the bill. My two favourites: Louis the Undecided and Strawberry Banana smoothie.

  • 5/5 Laurie O. 9 months ago on Google
    We arrived with little time to spare, as we had to catch a plane. We informed the server and she advised the manager, who assisted with having our orders filled as soon as possible. The strawberry banana smoothie was yummy, as was the turkey sausage and chicken caesar wrap. Service was professional and friendly, and the kids' menu was extensive. Cora's is always a pleasant experience!

    Went here 3 out of the 4 days in town. The only disappointment was the 1st day we couldn't get here for the early bird specials of $8.95 before 8am. The food was good, service polite and close to our hotel.

    I enjoyed eating at Cora. I highly recommend it. The staff was friendly and the place was clean and cozy

  • 4/5 Gustavo M. 6 months ago on Google
    Very affordable considering the amount of food served. It seems like they don't deep fry the potatoes, just grill on the outsides. Some people will not enjoy it. There is a lot of fruits included. I didn't like the holandaise sauce on my Benedict eggs that much. Other than that it was ok.

    I have always loved their food and have eaten in other restaurants for a long time, so I choose to believe in Cora brand, but today at lunch, I think my potatoes are overcooked, that is not edible, but no one asked us how the food tasted. So when I told the clerk at the checkout that my food was overcooked, she just said okay and asked me how to pay, not sorry. This made my dining experience very bad and will not be coming back!

    Loved dining at Cora’s ! Staff are friendly and the design is so cute

  • 4/5 Cathy V. 5 months ago on Google
    Had the beet, cucumber, fruit cocktail, and the chorizo, goat cheese, sun dried tomato rolled in a crepe. The drink was delicious, fresh and not too sweet. The crepe was kind of dry and tasteless compared to what I usually expect from Cora’s quality. I wish there was a bit more fillings, but otherwise it was pretty good. Also had a cappuccino, it was perfect. Fast and attentive service but I was also eating at 7am so there was only 2 other tables there.

    I liked this place a lot. Portions are big and food is nice

    Came here on a Saturday morning around 8am. Ordered the Fresh Fruit Waffle and Beyond Meat Eggs Benedict. Really fast service and pleasant atmosphere. Loved the place and service but the food was average. Fresh Fruit Waffle - 3/5 (waffle was kinda undercooked) Beyond Meat Eggs Benedict - (4/5)

    Nice choice of menu and small of everything in a platter is an interesting way to attract diverse crowds. I liked the Eggs skillet. One small room for improvement, Just look at the colour of breads :)

    We are visiting from Ottawa and we were lucky to start every day of our vacation with a wonderfully prepared breakfast at this restaurant. Dawn, our server, took care of all of our needs and Stephanie, the owner, treated us to a special anniversary dessert (two apples carved into swans with strawberries carved into hearts swimming in caramel and cream fresh). We will always remember their kindness and courtesy.

    I enjoy eating at Cora's. They have an interesting breakfast menu with lots of choices. I had the cocoa hazelnut spread fruit crepe. However the crepe was a bit under cooked and the cacao spread was too overpowering and masked the taste of the fruit.

  • 4/5 Peyton C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to grab breakfast or lunch. Wait time isn't bad at all from my experience, and the waiters are good with checking in with you. My only complaint was that the potatoes I got with my omelet looked undercooked. I would give 4.5 stars if I could. Everything else I got was fresh and delicious, and the servers are nice which is always a good thing. The takeout boxes are also made from some type of paper I believe which I liked!

    Not busy and yet, customer service was very slow…Our server lingered at another table for long chats, probably because they were regular customers…We had to wait 10 minutes for the initial service…(coffee, etc.). When the food came, (brought by a different server), it was good, but our own server was slow to stop by, to see if the food was okay… Service for coffee top ups continued to be slow, unless we specifically asked for more coffee…At one point, I finally had to walk over to one of the counters to get my own coffee… All in all, we only saw our server a couple of times…Service was adequate at best!

    We visited the Cora at 1535 Dresden Row, Halifax, NS. On this Monday morning 11:15. We brought our 14 month daughter to Cora first time. She got egg allergy so we asked the waitress if the tuna melt with potatoes contain egg. The waitress alike a Korea guess by accent and she said not contain egg. We asked her again to doubled check. She said that the sandwich doesn’t contain egg again. My daughter only had two bites. Than we took the rest of sandwich home. After got back to home, she cried, vomit everything out and had a very strong allergy reaction. I opened the take home tuna sandwich and found there is mayonnaise in the tuna mixture. I think mayonnaise contains egg should be a common sense. As a food server, she should know, and her manager should trained everyone working there. If a waitress doesn’t sure, he/she should go check the chef. We never had this issue when visiting other restaurants. This could be very dangerous and life threatening to your customers. Please note the manager of the branch! Seriously!

    A lot of fresh fruit. Lots of food on the plate - lots of breakfast options on the menu. Eggs Benny were reasonably good (not raving but what you might expect from an all day breakfast place) About what you might expect from a just above chain diner; all the fresh fruit definitely makes it feel … fresher. Friendly servers. Go with a big appetite.

  • 5/5 Varun Sai P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very hygienic and the food is amazing. My friend introduced me to this place and I thought it would be just like any another breakfast place but no this is definitely not. I really enjoyed the food here and this is like a go to place for me and my girlfriend. I really miss this place since I moved to Waterloo.

  • 3/5 Arjoon V. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for breakfast/brunch. The server was sweet and hospitable. We ordered the egg skillet and sausage & eggs. The food was overall good but they can make the toast and potatoes better. The toast was partially raw bread because it was not uniformly toasted. The potatoes had zero flavour. Lastly, I request you to use good quality fresh fruits as all the fruits were sour or stale.
