    Very disappointed in my dish. Thought I would give Cora another chance with different location. Order cream cheese with lox with fresh fruit. The bagel was cold 🥶 to the point I can't eat it.. I had to drink hot tea to swallow my frozen bagel. Definitely would not give Cora another chance anymore. I would rather give other small business breakfast a chance instead.

    Personally I find Cora to be one of the best places for breakfast/brunch. They have the perfect menu, there’s something for everyone. So many options to choose from and all dishes taste great! I love the burrito crepe, crepe omelettes and chicken sandwich. I first tried Cora at Montreal a few months back and I have become a fan ever since. This Cora restaurant has ample parking space and the restaurant staff is very helpful and courteous.

    🥉The line up was so annoying in the morning. Approximately I was in line for 45 minutes. 🥈environment was so normal, the interior design was nothing special 🥇brunch taste was perfect. Penelope and eggs Benedict was really good and also coffee was rechargeable.

    It's pains me to write a negative review of bad branch of a good chain! We went there just because it was Cora and we had a very bad experience. Right from the beginning! The server who assigned our table was disgruntled and in no mood of working. Our main server Steven/Raymond didn't bother to look at us except for the order and check! We had only 1 coffee refill that too by some other server who happened to pass by our table and happened to look at our empty mugs. Peameal bacon was as thin ad it could be and 'fries' were basically boiled potatoes cut in wedges. And he just forgot about our toasts! He brought them when we were done with our dishes and he was rude about it. The branch in downtown has a good color and pop and ambience to it ! This one was bland !!

    I haven't been for such a long time because my husband isn't a fan but man I was so disappointed since I was craving breakfast! Service was fine no complaints, lots of coffee refreshes but the food.....Eggs were fine, toast drenched in butter, oily/warm potatoes, limp kale, sliver of pineapple and slice of cantaloupe as garnish. The bacon was tragic, precooked from the supplier thin and brittle. You can tell it was precooked just by looking at it. This will likely be my last visit to Cora's, too many mom and pop shops to support. The food 100% looks nothing like the menu photos anymore.

    Staff checked our vaccine receipts quickly. It was a painless experience and reassuring to know that the business was doing their part to keep staff and patrons safe. For brunch I ordered triple chocolate pancakes which were delicious and came out of the kitchen quickly! My fiancée ordered the crepes with fruit which she enjoyed also. Excellent service overall! Highly recommend this Cora location!

    What a joke. Eggs Benedict had 1 piece of bacon RIPPED IN HALF for each English muffin. A skinny piece of peameal on the other dish. Where is the quality control here?! This is completely unacceptable...

    Lots of pro’s, but certainly a couple con’s. I ordered the Gargantuan Breakfast. Let’s start with the con’s; the bacon seemed like it was the type you would warm up in a microwave. I wouldn’t quite call it crispy, it was extremely thin and brittle. Next, the peameal bacon was also very thin and pretty small pieces. With that said, let’s move to the pro’s! The staff there was friendly and sat me right away. The eggs, toast, blueberry pancake, hasbrowns, ham, sausage and coffee were all super delicious! Would I recommend this place? Sure, it’s a hearty meal, it’s certainly not the best breakfast I’ve ever had, but it was fast and reasonably priced. To the owners: buy better bacon!

    Very good breakfast spot. Consistent. Service spotty on weekends as young Asian servers are overwhelmed by traffic. Paul wants it all is good choice for sweet and savoury We like but there is better out there.

    Cora’s is my go to breakfast place since they never disappoint and it’s near my area. Here we got the Cora’s breakfast, Lois the undecided and boss special if I’m not mistaken. Friendly staff and yummy food. Service could have been faster but it was busy and there was lack of workers on the floor. Overall great location and place.

    I work here as a Dishwasher and I can tell you it is an extremely clean place and the food is delicious. In addition to being an extremely cozy, familiar and welcoming place. (I thought it was important to share this comment because people should go places where they won't regret it, it's too bad you spend money in a place where you might have a bad experience and no one forced me to say that! IT'S MY OPINION based on that I see every day) If you are looking for a place to eat with your family or friends, this is the place! (Here's a sandwich I ate today and it was very delicious. A delicious sandwich, well seasoned and the perfect size. The photo could be better, but I ate a little and forgot to take a photo. Haha ha!)

    First thing you notice at Cora is their popularity. I went on a weekday morning for breakfast and the restaurant was surprisingly quite full. Tried their Egg Benedict which was OK but the portion size was quite big. Fresh fruits which came with it were quite good. However, their Hollandaise sauce tasted quite ordinary. Cappuccino and Latte were also just OK. Maybe, I went there with high expectations which impacted my experience but not very impressed.

    First time trying Coras. Good size portions, nicely plated and food was tasty. Unfortunately my eggs were overcooked and toast not toasted. The atmosphere was ruined by very LOUD sqealing kids and louder parents. Before crossing Cora's off as a go to breakfast place, I'll try another restaurant in the chain.

    Food was good as usual. I just felt like you need to be in constant looking for the waitress to refill your cup.... I work in a restaurant if a day it's going to be slow, and we don't have the enough staff.... we shut down one area... in order to have a better more adequate service like when your have a full staff during the weekend. Just my 2 cents

    We went here by the suggestion of a friend and I was satisfied with the quality and services we had received. Fresh ingredients & good staff were my key satisfaction points. They added a very good fruit portion to our dishes and all included in order price. We stayed in the line for 5-8 minutes that was acceptable for Saturday morning.

    Now this is Coras! We had a bad experience at an other location the week before and rather then writing the chain off completely, we decided to try again at York Mills. Really glad we did! Food was delicious and came to us quickly. The portions were excellent. Service was great too. Only negative I can think of is having to wait for a table but even that is handled well. You give them your phone # and they text you when your table's ready. We waited comfortably in our car. Now as for what I ordered: "Ben and Dictine" with Ham and swiss cheese. I wanted mine soft poached so the yoke is nice and runny. It came out perfect!! My daughter ordered "Louis the Undecided". A dish that I ordered last week at the Front Street location. The portions were much larger here, especially the fruit and Nutella crepe, it was probably more than double the size. After the bad experience we had on Front Street, I seriously wanted to high five all the chefs here. I actually went to do it but chickened out :P. They were really busy and it would have been super awkward. If anyone from this location is reading this, please high five your chefs for me. Cooking at this level and volume isn't easy. Thank you for the great and consistent experience we get from this location!

    Nice restaurant with a big variety of breakfast or brunch choices. Several options of eggs, waffles, crepes, sandwiches, warm and cold drinks, etc. This time service was slow. Otherwise we liked everything including tasty food and peaceful atmosphere.

  • 2/5 Niky 1 year ago on Google
    Visited on a Sunday morning. The wait time was very long. The place was clearly understaffed. The food was very average. Had a western omelette and strawberry banana pancake. The western was so crumbly and was falling apart everytime I ate. The potatoes with it some were cooked well and some weren’t. No toast was severed with the omelette and when we asked the server we were told we need to request it. But weirdly their menu states the omelette is served with toast. The pancakes lacked basic flavour and texture. The coffee was weak and cold. We had to keep looking to find our server everytime.

    Friday lunch time waited in line for less than 5 minutes before getting my table. Staff was very polite well-trained and efficient. Table was clean and well supplied. Ordered a Gigi omelette with tomato slices as substitution for the fruit. It came with gluten-free toast which tasted very good and was not dry as many gluten-free toasts can be. The omelette was cooked perfectly and the tomato slices and a beautiful flavor and aroma. What can I say even the coffee was good. Overall an excellent experience for this gluten-free Celiac.

  • 5/5 Parth B. 1 year ago on Google
    Always love to have breakfast here. Same taste since ages. Good verities who does not eat meat.

  • 4/5 Moses Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The pancakes were amazing, the potatoes were amazing. But for the omelettes, there was lack of variety… and no chicken that could be added to anything. Also, the prices are pretty expensive for what you’re getting … But that being said, if you want to spend $50 for a meal for 2, then go for it. It’s expensive but it’ll be delicious; not $50 delicious, but still you’ll be happy hopefully lol And the customer service is definitely 5 star !! Awesome people !

    Cant get enough of their Spinach, caramelized onions, mushrooms and goat cheese ben and dictine menu 🤌🤌 Visited their york mills location. They dont take reservations. Its first come first serve.

  • 3/5 J L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Early business breakfast meeting here. Service is decent, food is fine but nothing to write home to mom about. They didn't have the healthy sides I prefer to home fries, like slices cucumber and avocado, which I thought was odd, but then maybe people don't order those things at this place or neighborhood. I'd go again for a meeting but not a place I would take my family as we like little changes to our meals at times.

  • 5/5 Chantel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh and delicious food. Great service. They really make sure you are healthy with a screening tool to get the menu. They still have the children's menus and crayons.

  • 2/5 Peyman R. 2 years ago on Google
    Below my expectations! Potatoes were not cooked properly! Burito crepe was very normal. Almost raw crepe. Please cook the food before serve it.

    I love coming to this coras, although i find this location always understaffed. I have no complaints about their foood :)

  • 1/5 Ahmed I. 2 years ago on Google
    Only 5 tables were busy, 5 minutes waiting at the gate and no one showed up to sow us where to sit. We approach the table ourselves and spent 10 minutes with the staff ignoring. We sure left and no one even care! Thanks Cora management! Oct 7th, 2021 at 10:00 AM
