I recently had a disappointing experience at Cora's Breakfast that I feel compelled to share. As an Indian customer, I was appalled by the blatant racism and poor service I received. It was clear that the staff treated me differently compared to white customers around me. While white patrons were greeted warmly and served promptly, I was ignored, given a cold reception, and treated dismissively throughout my visit. I was shocked by the way the staff interacted with me – the lack of courtesy, delayed service, and unfriendly attitude were impossible to ignore. When I observed the treatment of others in the restaurant, it became even more evident that there was a distinct, unfair difference in how people of different races were treated. It's disheartening to encounter such discrimination in 2024, especially at a place that claims to offer a welcoming environment for everyone. I left feeling deeply disrespected and hurt by the experience. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the issue of racism and poor customer service. Until then, I cannot recommend Cora's Breakfast to anyone. It’s crucial that businesses ensure all customers are treated with equal respect and dignity, regardless of their race or background.
Cora’s brunch was a delightful start to our day! The vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere set the tone as soon as we walked in. We loved the fresh fruit comes with tuna melt —beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The variety of options, from savory omelets to refreshing smoothies, made it easy to find something for everyone. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their colorful, delicious dishes!
My dining experience with my friend Trixie, was exceptional. We received outstanding service, thanks to the attentive server Tara, who played a pivotal role in enhancing our time at the restaurant. Tara’s assistance was invaluable in navigating the menu and ensuring our orders met our preferences. The food exceeded our expectations, with each dish showcasing quality ingredients and expert preparation. From start to finish, the dining experience was seamless, and Tara’s attentiveness added an extra layer of satisfaction. Given the excellent service and the delightful flavors we experienced, tipping off Tara felt more than deserved. It’s always refreshing to encounter such dedicated staff members who contribute significantly to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Looking forward to returning for another enjoyable dining experience at this establishment.
Alex, was our server today. I must say I've never had a better server in my life! There was 10 of us and he was constantly checking on us all. He went above and beyond his job. He was so good with the kids and with us adults lol The presentation of our food was stunning and the food was so good. It looked so nice I didn't want to ruin it hahaha I highly recommend this to everyone!! Great spot for sure!!!
Been to other Cora's restaurants but this is by far my new favourite. It started as I followed my lovely wife Pat through the front foyer into their internal entranceway. Pat, immediately recognized our host Alex as he greated us. Pat knows Alex from his visits to the store she works in (small world). Upon seating, Alex took our order for drinks (2 coffee's). I had to run out and grab my glasses from the car, keep forgetting them (only need them for loseup reading). Drinking my coffee and going through the menu's, I chose the 2 egg, back bacon, home fries and toast with jam. I especially loved the crispness of their golden home fried wedges and taste. Pat was delighted with the chicken asparagus skillet. She had enough leftover for her next meal. Alex is a great waiter and extremely personable. He has a warm demeanor with an open heart. We shared dog stories and he went as far as to show us a picture of his beautiful little dog. We love dogs and have 2 of our own. Meals were a delight. I ate every morsel and savored every bite. Look forward to our next visit when monies permit. I have included pictures of our meals and Alex allowed me to take his picture. I trust all of Cora's serving staff are as wonderful as Alex knowing how much he cares about his work and especially his customers.
Best breakfast I had in my life so far! I wish this place was open all over the world! Wait staff is nice, friendly and professional. My deepest compliments to a chef! You gays made me happy today, thank you! Definitely come back again with no doubts!
We have an active lifestyle and are managing our diets, so this was an exception for us. As such, we wanted to really enjoy it. We were not disappointed! Our meals were beautifully plated and wonderfully prepared. The plates were works of art, with the marvelous fruit variety arranged to great effect. This really made this meal an experience. The service was good, with every "can I please have" question answered with an "absolutely". I had the Buckwheat Blessings, about 1100 calories. Most of that comes from the three rolled sausage and cheese buckwheat crepes. They provide takeout containers for leftovers, but I made an exception and gobbled it down! Very tasty and enjoyable. Cora's is a popular breakfast and lunch chain for a very good reason. They offer a dining experience where the food is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. For this reason, go early for breakfast for the best experience. Also note that for the first "early bird" hour that coffee is free (a $3.25 cdn value as of time of writing).
Delicious food and excellent service. My fussy daughter was skeptical to go here but now it's her favorite place for breakfast. She even ended up ordering pancakes of her own after trying a bite of ours. Emily our server was awesome in every way. The portions were perfect and the price was fair. Great for all ages.
If you are looking for a combination of fruit salad Wil be the place to go.
I have always liked to go to Coras since a long time some prices are way too high but any way I find the way to have a nice plate at a low cost
Server never returned to refill drinks other than that good
Kind staff. I have food allergies and they keep me safe
Friendly and helpful staff, booked the back room for a meeting, they went above and beyond for us
Brilliant selection especially vegetarian. Loads of options and good quality.
Keep an open mind about kids doing tantrums....its a kids place! Great service.
Very good service from our waitress, who served us in French and English. Much appreciated.
Always a great brekkie or brunch @ Coras
Always delicious and great service! My go-to spot to meet a friend for brunch or to bring one of my kids for a special breakfast treat!
Absolutely delicious food, a must every time we go for a visit
Food was great. We popped by early afternoon so it was quiet and the service was great. Dietary restrictions: I let them know about my egg allergy and they were very accommodating and even helped point out things i could or couldnt do and offer some easy substitutions. Staff was very aware of their ingredients.
Food is great Nadia is the worst server ever! Smiles at the table then complains about customers behind their back only there for the tips
Good experience with great taste..
Very good meal; the service was excellent but . No service in French. Too bad
Ive been coming to this location since it opened and I could not be more disappointed with my experience today. It was not even busy and our waitress acted annoyed to be even be serving us. She was not patient with my elderly grandmother nor kind when answering our questions. Our orders arrived incorrectly and instead of fixing it right away made excuses. The cold fruit was warm, the omelette tasted old, the bologna left a bad taste in my mouth. When these things were pointed out and the owner came to speak with us she and the server were condescending and not helpful. The only good thing was the toast when the correct type was brought to us. I will not be returning.
Great breakfast with great friendly service from the time you set your foot in the door!
Awsome fresh and delicious food. Big choice on the menu and the staff is awsome, quick and really friendly. Thanks to Sarah and mya. Bathroom is very clean and smells good. Im there almost every weekend and I enjoyed every visit. Ill be back soon!
The staff are very warm and friendly.
delicious but the coffee is horrible
One of my go-to spot for breakfast. Love their breakfast poutine..!
Always a favorite furniture family breakfast and brunch Kid-friendliness: Always friendly Food : 5/5 |
Always good quality food. Try to avoid the weekend it really can be over packed. Expecting 25-35min for food to be ready. I love their open kitchen.
Service was great. Disappointed as first Cora to visit to have fried wedges vs real potatoes and onions that were my favorite for their hashbrowns regardless to say took option of fruit was provided instead.
Was the first time trying it. A little too high price wise but the end results were great taste, presentation ,and overall awesome service. Would not go again as for breakfast the prices are way too high for my liking. Coffee was extra and whip cream . That should have been a part of the meal cost in my opinion.
Good experience
On the weekend mornings, it always seems to be very crowded with a line. Food is pretty good. Usually pretty satisfied. Service can be hit & miss. Sometimes great, sometimes poor.
10/10 Always amazing every time I come here.
Omelet was good, but was slow coming. Restaurant wasnt busy so thought the meal service would be faster.
Delicious meal. We got seated right away and the waitress was very friendly. Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate some changes in their side fruit salad. Food : 5/5 |
Great live music every Thursday and Friday
Pretty expensive breakfast, and honestly, the food wasnt very good. There are much better options out there for the money.
Great customer service! Delicious food! Everything was cooked to perfection!
The service and food was great! Fast service and food was fresh. Will definitely come back here when Im in town for work.
Very good food.
Always welcoming, good service, hot food, bottomless cup with earlybird till 8am. Parking: good sized lit in strip mall Wheelchair accessibility: Roll in access. Not personally necessary yet!
Great service, food tasted great
Good food. Love the amount of light coming in from the windows. Only complaint is I had to ask the waitress like 5 times to bring water
Wasnt great the last couple of visits, but whatever was going on seems sorted out. Food was great, service was great, we had a very nice family brunch experience!
Excellent Service by Nadia :-) Great breakfast !
Great waitress, quick and good food! Overall enjoyed our experience!
Best breakfast ever
Great service and food! Will come again!
Its my goto stop in Moncton if Im there in the morning. The crew is great and so is the eggs Benny!
Slowest Coras Ive ever been to. Food was good.
Off and on depending how busy they are food is really good
Service at this Coras was amazing! Our server checked several times to make sure all was good. The food was served timely and was hot and delish! Will def be back again!
Had excellent service from Nadia :) thanks again ! But had a rude start from a Sarah , she was rude cause we ask to site in a boot ., then when are breakfast came Sarah help to bring our food to the table when she almost cut me with my knife as she was holding it towards me and when she went to put my plate on table I had to back and said hey careful. Like really.. Bad day or not wake up !!
Due to dietary restrictions I asked if I could order off the kids menu and Alex the service manager said NO.. the girl that served our table Sarah was wonderful though.
Best place for breakfast Ive ever been to... I recommend it!
The park spots are on the small side. So if you have a suv or truck, make sure you can get a parking spot facing the road if you can.
Server was friendly. Food was mediocre. Extremely long wait for food. Kitchen seems too busy taking care of take out orders. Ordered poached eggs. Told server I wanted them medium, yolks runny, whites cooked. Eggs were like bullets, very hard. We ate at Coras in Ontario, but 1st time at this location. Will not be back.
Something for every taste. Kid-friendliness: 1$ per kids until June 11 Food : 5/5 |
The food was great, and the service was excellent . The atmosphere, however, was brutal. It was busy so I know its not their fault but our seating was directly in the middle of the floor and it felt like we couldnt even move our elbows as you might accidentally nudge a passersby. Its also very loud when its busy, which made me leave with a headache, but nonetheless, I also left with full and satisfied stomach.
The waiter was very nice but the wait was long. My plate arrived with one item missing. We sent the server to check with the kitchen and the kitchen said they had more. We would have appreciated being informed. Also, I had ordered a dish with chorizo but it wasnt chorizo, it was cooked rosette. Given that the service was very long and that we were already disappointed with the first problem, we preferred to say nothing more, finish our plate, leave and never come back to this place.
The food was good, and the service was friendly. Seats and booths could use some updating. Dont get the goat cheese thing
So , there is the deal , usually take the 10 Stars skillet , did today again , it was good , but no more bread , no more of that cup of fresh fruits that was coming with it ..they didn t forget to put the price up though . It s coming to a regular breakfast place to go , no more that special place I use to like to go to . Price is special though lol not
Waited and hour for food and once we got it it was cold, bacon over cooked, eggs over cooked and cold, and cold toast. Waitress offered 25% off, frankly for that kind of service and cold breakfast it should have been free and manager should have made an effort to come to table and apologize. What the manager should have done was not charge the meal and offer coupons for free breakfast next time. I could not care a less about the cost of breakfast, if it s good I ll come back. But no effort made here. You just lost regular customers. I won t be coming back
Love coming here! A favourite Sunday brunch spot for the family.
very nice food
Good food and lots of options to choose from. One of my top breakfast places. Staff is always 10/10 but sometimes you can get forgotten about and sometimes there is a wait. I do recommend calling ahead if you are a large group.
For a 3rd time in a couple of months we have been to Coras and waited an hour to an hour and half for our meal. Not only have we waited a long time but when the meals come some are hot some not. Today we were 7 but normally we are only 2 or 4.. so the number of people doesnt seem to matter
Good food but expensive. Great staff. Vegetarian options: Several Veggie options available. Im not sure about vegan. Dietary restrictions: Glutton-free available. Parking: Large parking area Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Best Coras. Wonderful, genuinely pleasant staff. Thank you for that!
Really good restaurant! We ordered a gluten-free lunch and the staff was great! They went over the ingredients with me to make sure it was safe for me to eat Dietary restrictions: We ordered a gluten-free lunch and the staff was great! They went over the ingredients with me to make sure it was safe for me to eat
Great place and staff. Just get better supplier for your weiners, those are not tasty at all. You have costco close by =)
Came in and was in a little hurry the person seating (didnt get their name) she advised she would tell the waitress (Tara) Tara was amazing got our order right away. Food was quick and delishious . Expectations here exceeded by far.
Coras is always amazing. This is our familys favorite restaurant we go a min once a month - once a week. Service is always good and food is always on point definitely recommended Parking: Parking is free and easy to find a spot. Kid-friendliness: They have always been great with my kids and they always want to go back Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Was busy at the time, yet service was still good , food arrived quickly and was delicious. Thank you, staff at Cora s
If you dont like Coras, youve never eaten at Coras. Like anywhere else though, the servers can be hit and miss. The difference with Cora is that the food is always good; and if it doesnt look exactly like it looks in the picture, you can at least see that they tried to make an effort to make it presentable. Which is much more than I can say at about most breakfast chain restaurants.
The waitress was amazing. My coffee cup was never empty. Food
Always a great breakfast. Plenty of options to choose from.
Great place for breakfast. Its always a stop on our way home from Prince Edward Island . Their crepes are great and I get the Coras special.
Great service and food. A little pricey.
Great place for breakfast or brunch.
i love cora s and this one has nice big windows
Food is hot and fresh, yet service is just average. I ll not visit again this one but definitely will re-visit another one at Main St.
Such a Wonderful experience this morning. Food was incredible (presented beautifully), service was VERY prompt, waitress a sweetheart, and even washrooms very clean!!! Highly recommend!!!
We were seated fairly quickly, it wasnt all that busy, but a long wait to order, for food, and for the bill. Kid-friendliness: I took my niece for breakfast, shes a picky eater, but loved her meal.
Very good. I booked for a group of 15 ladies, and we used the meeting room for our dec meetingb and they all liked it ( I wish there would have been a door, though )
I had the unfortunate case of coming to this Coras. I ordered the Tomato, bacon and goat cheese omelet, which I order everytime I go to a Coras. Not even 1/2 way through eating I ended up vomiting in the bathroom. My waitress was awesome. I asked to speak with the manager as I wanted to make sure something was being done. The manager is beyond rude. I have been a Registered Nurse for 10 years, I am aware what food poisoning looks like. I was then told I have an allergy to something. I am a 30 year old woman and have never had food allergies in my life. I was then told I had to pay for the meal that just made me sick. I said I was not. She then told me that she would give me a discount. I said no I was again not paying for a meal that made me sick. I did not appreciate being spoken to like a child. Ill never be going back to any Coras.
Was good as always!
A better arrangement can be made for folks picking up their orders.
Really nice environment food looks good really nice employees thankyou for the coffee made my day
A great way to start your day. Super breakfast and super service!
For its size and reputation I was dissapointed, the food wasnt very warm, it felt rushed and insincere, the regular house coffee was definately not worth 3.50$.
Really good service our waiter did an excellent job of speaking French to us. My mom was really pleased.
$65.00 for 3 of us to have breakfast. everything is an added cost.
Great for special occasions. I love the abundace of fruit on their meals
Love the waffles
It s a Cora s so you know what your food s like. I like this location. This is my only complaint for pretty much all breakfast restaurants. Eggs over medium is not runny but still soft. If a cook is watching 20 other eggs he will screw it up and I NEVER get my eggs the way I want them unless I cook them myself. BUT we would not accept our steak done wrong so why not my eggs too? My eggs are always runny, this location is no exception.
Went Easter Sunday morning. While our host gave us a table that were pretty sure wasnt cleaned or at least not cleaned well our waitress was amazing! Not often I find a waitress that is as good as the one we had for our meal kind, friendly and always willing to check and see if we needed anything else like coffee, other food for our son and always smiling. Shes most certainly the reason giving 5 stars. Her and the food it was also very good.
Good food and good service
Mothers Day crowd. Busy but 2hrs from the time we sat down to when we left. Over 1hr wait from order until it hit our table. It appeared that cook staff was lacking. Plenty of waitresses and table buskers but food just wasnt coming out of kitchen.
Superb
Service was bad. Food sat and was gross. The strawberries in my crepes were warm and soft and my crepes were cold. Waited over an hour. Only saw our server 3 times the entire time even after mentioning how awful the food was.
good food and really good service
The plates are so full and the price is low
Great, real food. Lots of fruit!
Cora s has always been a favorite of mine. We don t have one in my province but I always go for brunch when visiting other provinces. I have a gluten allergy and it has always been a great place to find good gluten free options. Imagine my disappointment when I visited a few days ago and was told that there are now only two gluten free (gf) options on the menu : only one of the omelette options offered which has goat cheese, mushroom and spinach (why arent the other omelette options gf?? Makes no sense) and the buckwheat crepe (those who have tried this one know it tastes like sawdust and dirt. Out of all the gf flours available they had to pick the worst one for their gf option. No amount of syrup or fruit can mask the bad taste). I was also told that they no longer have a gf friendly menu. My server (bless her. She was so kind and very obviously embarrassed by the changes) explained that they had recently made changes to some of their ingredients (I.e. swapped brands). The new brands are not gf. An example would be the potatoes which now have a wheat flour coating. I had asked if they could make me a skillet without the potatoes (as the base layer is potatoes) and I was told they could not. I had to pick from the 2 gf options marked on the menu. The crepes were a definite no. I usually do not like ordering omelettes as you never know if you will get one that is cooked properly (without the crusty burnt layer). I gave it a go as I was quite hungry. I will never order it again. 4% of the population has a gluten allergy or sensitivity. That is 1 in 25 people. It may not seem like a lot but I can guaranty that when your restaurant is packed you have at least one gf person dining. You should not be removing gf options from your menu. It is absurd. Do better!!! So disappointed by these changes. I will be letting my gf friends and family know and will not be returning again. I will inquire to see if these are changes that have been made in all locations or just the Moncton ones.
Take out to eat later in pei. They packed it very well. Traveled beautifully.
Always a great place for the most important meal of the day.
Great service and coffee seemed better than in the past. Good experience.
Excellent service by Nadia. She gave us the Best service possible for a breakfast. Nice and clean place. Easy access location.
Emily and the staff were fantastic!
Fruit wasnt great. Potatoes were wedges instead of hasbrowns . . Other than that food was good. Pancakes are delicious.
Good place to go but expensive
Great food and service.
Consistently good! The eggs Benedict were delish.
Delicious food and friendly staff.
Potentially the worst egg benedict I have ever seen. Hair for added, protein? I guess?
Excellent service from the girl who speaks fluent French, optimistic and friendly. Food was good, as I expected from Cora. Definitely going back if I m in NB
First time visiting this restaurant and based on my experience I would come back again. Service was pretty fast and friendly, food quality was also good. Place wasnt too busy on the day (weekday) and time I went. Also plenty of parking as well
Wonderful, food was fast and fresh, they actually have dedicated gluten free options. The staff amazing and the coffee just keeps coming. Portions are really great and fair price. Cant wait to go back. This location made up for my first bad Coras experience.
Good breakfast but the service is a little slow haft the time. Smoothies are good too!
Parking: Large parking lot Kid-friendliness: Kids menu
Love their breakfasts and very quick bringing extra coffee!
Horrible!! Waited over an hour to be served. Server was beyond ignorant. Watched 6 different families come in ,after we were seated, get their food and leave all before we got our food. Asked the server how much longer and she said it will be along. Never received our food. After an hour and a half of waiting, we were told the receipt never printed to the kitchen. Other orders printed but our appearantly didnt. Spoke to the owner, she said they were busy and never realized it. She wasnt concerned about us already waiting an hour and a half and told us to have a seat. Will never go back there. No customer service skills.
We ate like kings, the service is excellent and the dishes are wow. The portions are very generous.
Great food, very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere
Good food
This was a great place. Went here on my vacation to meet my sister for the first time
So yummy! Lots to choose from, great service and awesome food!
Really good food.
Fantastic service. Fantastic food
Service could be better with more attention to details and keeping the tables clean before sitting customers Parking: Sizeable
Fast service! Our server was very pleasant! And of course the food is tasty.
Loved it.
Always lost of fruits! Date spot for me and my wife.
No complaints.
I honestly have been here in 15 years. I was very pleasantly surprised. Cant wait to go back to try the pancakes or eggs Benny. Excellent service.
Excellent and efficient and welcoming service
