I love the amount of options at Cora's, and the fact that there are unique menu items that you can't find anywhere else. The prices are a tad on the high side of average, but I wouldn't call them exorbitant. The wait staff were smiling, friendly, and attentive.

One of the best breakfast places midtown, the food is very good but shoutouts to all the staff for making the experience wonderful especially Lisa and Nicole. They helped with replacment of dietary needs, and the sweetest humxns helped in the selection of meals, non-stop coffee top ups and good chat.

Mediocre breakfast food, pretty cheap. Egg tasted a bit too ‘eggy’ if you know what I mean, but the tomatoes were fresh. Wish they had more vegan/vegetarian options!! A “just egg” scramble omelette would be awesome. Overall a decent eat for less than $25 though - this also included two pieces of toast and strawberry jam.

Overall I was very impressed. The restaurant was very clean, the waitress we had was very polite, and the food was delicious. The Brioche for Elise and there iced coffee which came with a cookie are what I got, and it was absolutely incredible. The only minor complaint was that we could have been seated a little bit faster, but I viewed that as minor compared to everything else. Come here for a quality breakfast.

The food was decent, kind of. But overall I understand why this Cora’s restaurant has under a 4 star rating. For the most part, the food was alright. I ordered the 10 Star Skillet with an extra egg(pictured). Most of it was actually very very good. My only complaint with this dish this was the potato’s were not crispy enough. Breakfast potatoes are generally some form of crispy, even if they aren’t fried. The potato’s in my skillet were cooked just to the point where they weren’t raw. But they were still pale and white. Very little browning and next to no crispy. The rest of my skillet was truly enjoyable. My friend got the Louis the Undecided. Unfortunately it didn’t look nearly as appetizing as the photo in the menu. The crepe again was cooked but just to the point where it wasn’t raw. Not slightly golden like in the photo. Potatoes on her dish were similar to mine. Not good enough and no crisp. Toast was also flimsy and barely toasted. Service wasn’t amazing. It was busy, but this is to be expected at a breakfast restaurant at 10am and servers should adjust. It took quite some time to get our orders taken. The server took a long time to bring an extra side plate and we had to ask for refills of our water on more than one occasion. Atmosphere was a standard Cora’s breakfast spot during Saturday breakfast. Busy, but welcoming and lively. I’m glad I tried this place but I’m not sure if I’d return. I think I’d prefer to try out other breakfast spots

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.

They can t make a poached egg, I send it back 2 times still not good. They don t have a manager in the store on the weekend. They are very bad

Customer service is not a strength, I had a very bad experience when going for a breakfast on a special occasion. The waitress messed up the order, she was rude as well as the rest of the staff. We were sitting for over an hour and we didn t get our meals, when they finally came, she didn t bring my son s meal. They didn t set up the table so we had no utensils to eat, everything was a complete mess! I haven t gone back since then and I wouldn t!

Amazing!! Our main server was very nice, productive and polite. I didnt catch her name, but she was wearing a black uniform and attending our large family close to the entrance. She definitely deserves a raise or something, because the service was fast, friendly and enjoyable!!

Hello, I am from Taiwan. I am honored to have tasted their restaurant. We ordered two portions for three people. Their portions are quite large and very delicate. However, because I saw their Google Maps review score at first, it was not I was a little worried because it was too high, but after tasting it later, I felt that it was really different. Both of the two things we ordered were very delicious and we liked them both. Moreover, our Canadian friend said that he would eat here in the future. And they are really considerate, using fruit to make a set meal. I like it very much. It feels very comfortable to eat. It makes us want to eat there again. I like that I can eat there again before I leave Canada!

I visited this Cora on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere was lively and the service was friendly. Coffee was very good! I had a breakfast burrito which was stuffed with scrambled eggs and chopped veggies, and they let me switch the potatoes to a salad with olives and sundried tomatoes.

This restaurant is understaffed during peak times (i.e. weekends). So, it is very common that waitress frequently makes mistakes, such as forgetting to serve toast, refill coffee and misplacing orders. I would recommend anyone to avoid visiting this place during weekends.

The quality of the food was satisfactory, however, the service was severely lacking. No staff members attended to our table to check on our well-being or provide adequate service. Despite this, a gratuity was still expected. Lynda, the worst service ever!

Had breakfast Saturday morning. Was quiet when I went before 9 am. Service was good. Price is a little higher then other places. The food is ok not extra for the extra price. More like a treat with cute little fruit decorations on the plate. My kids liked their crepe with hazelnut spread and strawberries.

April 21, 2024

No customer service. 4 5 waitress were working but no one can bring you to the seat. Waiting at the front for the host. 2 3 waitresses passed by but no one can help. Seems like we have to wait for the cashier to bring us in but no one acknowledge us. When food arrived , you have to ask for cutlery, and maple syrup when you have pancake. Asked for peanut butter for the toast and only bring you jam. Then waited 5 mins for the peanut butter. Doesn t seem like they know what they are doing. People can earlier walk out the restaurant without paying cuz no one really around to look after customer. They seems busy but don t know on what. Very disappointed and probably won t go back

After standing at the door for 6 minutes looking at 10 empty table someone finally approached and asked us to put our name on the electronic waiting list. Shortly after another group came in and I told them about the electronic waiting list with only my party on it. A few minutes later the hostess came back and seated the group that came in after us. They even told the hostess that we were ahead of them but she paid no attention. Cora would be horrified at this lack of service.

My family and I came here for breakfast wasn t that busy so we were seated right away. Once seated we waited 20mins before and one came to our table. When someone did come we and take are order we waited almost 45min before are food came. But had to wait another 10-15min because we didn t have utensils or condiments. The food was ok, my bacon was cooked way too much and a bit hard, my pancakes were cooked too long on one side as well. Was not impressed with this location.

I had very bad experience with this Cora breakfast place today i order coffee didnt receive first of all I order Tuna Fish and Salad with my family They bring the tuna with salad, it was unbelievable Salad was to old and tuna had smell, requested to change them, there manager said it will be charge if we change to Fruits I didn t eat my self and only kids eat and we come to pay the bill?

Came here for a healthy breakfast, however it was a mixed experience. The line up was long and there was no clear instructions on how to place your name in a list. Luckily line up moved pretty fast. So we got sited in around 15-20 minutes for our Sunday brunch. My friend ordered cinnamon French toast with turkey sausage and enjoyed it very much. I also liked my salmon eggs Benedict. However the food was average, with fries being boiled potatoes, salmon was watery and tasteless, there were spices used. However, the fruit was good in both quality and amount. To me the worst part of the experience was bitter and flavourless coffee. For a breakfast or brunch place this pretty much ruins the experience for me. Also, given how affordable good quality coffee is, I don t understand management s choice on trying to save on this. This was my first time at this location. I don t remember same issues at Steelers or downtown branches.

I came to Coras with my husband for Sunday brunch. We had to wait to be seated which was ok given how busy it was. There was an electronic device to place your reservation for your party, but no sign or communication to do that. The staff seemed like they didnt like their job and didnt give great customer service. We had to ask for our bill 3 times to receive the bill. I am usually patient and understanding when it comes to waiting, but three times to ask for the bill is too many times. The staff to be honest did not work as a team and would need to improve on that or at least wanting to serve customers. I have to admit the food is excellent that is why I gave this Coras another star. But please work on customer service.

February 21, 2024

Went there on a busy Saturday, there were only 3 servers working. We waited 30+ minutes just to be seated, even though there were more than 10 empty (dirty) tables. When the food arrived, the potatoes were cold and under cooked. The omelette was also cold. You could tell my husbands food was rushed. My son loves eggs and potatoes, he couldn t eat any of the food there. We asked for toasts to have with our food, she came back with 2 toasts for 3 people and gave us an attitude when we asked for more. Def my first and last time going to that location unless they hire more people and better chefs.

Food was good as usual. I just felt like you need to be in constant looking for the waitress to refill your cup....

Compared to other Cora restaurants, the food was rather bland. The meals our party ordered were all supposed to come with toast, but it was not provided - we were not aware of this until after we had left the restaurant and someone in my party pointed it out to me. The server was or should have been aware of this -maybe given us the option to substitute something else or order another dish? This omission leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, feels like they are dishonest.

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.

It seemed like they only had 2 waiters and 1 cook. We seen people waiting at their tables complaining about not getting service. We had a toddler with us that just couldnt bare to wait any longer so we left. Terrible experience for a first time here. They need to pay attention more to their customers and hire a lot more employees

Ok, this place is BUSY... so be prepared to wait. We went during peak hours though on a Saturday so all things considered,it wasnt THAT bad but still, it was about 30+ mins to get our seats and then 10-15 after seating before we got drinks.. then another 10-15 + mins before food came.. but the food was GREAT. Well worth it. I found their selection of fruit and the taste to be really good as well, above average for sure. Its a bit tight in there but cozy once youre seated. They also had an iPad at the front where you put your name and phone number to be added to the waiting list, so its kinda painless, depending on your personality and preference. Overall, it was a good experience and would go again, just maybe not at peak times.

Im allergic to pineapple and peaches, and as they cut and prepare the fruits in advance, every thing is mixed. They offered to take out the pieces of those fruits, without thinking about the fact that all the other fruits around have been already in contact and therefore contaminated by the pineapple juice proper from the fruit. Domage, I really wanted a fruit salad without pineapple or peaches.

The worst location EVER DO NOT COME HERE . Waiters are just walking around as if they are busy but no one came to take our order for almost 20 mins after being seated . Never coming here again . We even asked a waiter to take our order, ended up getting ignored for another 10 min .

I go to Coras on a regular basis. I have never had a similar experience. We ordered the Passion fruit summer drink and get the Cucumber -beet instead (refer to picture). They, included the supervisor, insist its the right drink. I dont think taste buds could be that off too detect cumbers and beet wrongfully, but if they insist, then Coras recipe is totally off! I ask for crayons for my toddler, which we usually get, and are told Ill see what I can find...then receive a placemat. The response to our complaint is not even a simple apology. So instead of replying to us that youd make it right, please train your staff properly.

I came after many years and the service was terrible . They brought the wrong drink and insisted its the right one. They brought another drink that turned out to be another tables drink. After leaving the drink on our table for about 10 minutes they took the drink away (I assume to the other table). The server didnt feel like she wanted to work here . The supervisor was just as ignorant. They eventually brought the same drink so I guess the flavor they use is bad but the service was so unacceptable regardless.

This particular Cora has some issues when it comes to service. The food is excellent and has always been served to me hot and fresh, but this is where the service then ends. I have been to this location about 4 times in the past few months and not once have I been asked how the food was or if I wanted a refill on my glass of water (apparently they only seem to offer refills of coffee) and these are weekdays that I have been going and not weekends where generally there are not more than 10 tables in use with customers sitting at them. I have even had to ask for my bill every time I have gone and once they bring the credit card machine to me, the servers run away and expect you to complete your own credit card transaction and swipe your loyalty card. Also, beware that if you dont swipe your loyalty card when the machine prompts you, you will not get a chance to collect those points even though Coras website and a phone conversation with head office said that points can be added to your account within 30 days of your visit, this location doesnt seem to know how to retroactively add the points back. When I visited today, my food was served to me hot and fresh as usual and I was asked if I wanted anything else and I had asked for a refill on my water but as usual that was forgotten about and also as usual I had to chase someone down to get my server to bring my bill and the credit card machine for me to check myself out. Excellent food but horrible service, this location seems to want to run with as few servers as possible which is the complete opposite experience I have had another Coras I visited in another city (outside of Toronto).

Our server Hazel was great. She took care of us well and had a positive attitude. Their chef was HORRIBLE. Referring to him as a chef is an insult to chefs everywhere! Eggs were way overdone, so we sent them back with very detailed information about how we like them. Next batch came back, again overdone. The third time wasn t a charm, as they were only moderately better than the first two attempts. How this chef cannot figure out how to properly cook something as simplistic as EGGS is beyond me. I learned how to make eggs when I was ten years old! Will not be returning.

The food here is good for a breakfast spot. Its delicious and done right. The service however, is byfar the worst service I have ever had. Servers dont care, they never come around to check on you, if the order comes out wrong and you tell them that, they talk back. Its atrocious. I will not come back bere due to that.

Had the worst possible service no one asked for coffee although ordered at the beginning, took them 25 minutes to take order then another 30 to bring it still without coffee no one asked if something else was needed and at the end coffee was added to the itemized bill suffice to Say terrible experience.

Its 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 didnt 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 !!

Cora has certainly become a family breakfast staple. Great selection of breakfast items. Fancy French Canadian touch. Absolutely impressive with taste and presentation. However, while I can appreciate the classics, I would still like a bit of American influence. Yes, steak and eggs in a fancy Hollandaise sauce is great, but I would still like a Coras rendition of chicken and waffles.

The food is what you can expect from Cora. Good variety and acceptable quality for the money. But service at this location is the worst. They make you wait while tables are half empty. Don t service coffee properly, other than charging you 3.50 for it. And you I had to go to the kitchen to find someone to bring me the bill. Very very bad service. Completely unacceptable they are allowed to run a business like this. Unless they change dramatically, they are doomed to go bankrupt and disappear.

Our food tasted like actual chemicals. Every other Cora location Ive been to has been phenomenal but this location has some work to do. Very unsatisfied.

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 tables 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 isnt easy. Thank you for the great and consistent experience we get from this location!

Not a good Cora location. When we approached the entrance, the server went to seat the people in front of us and had the menus in hand but then returned to us and said sit wherever you like and walked away. We luckily ended up with another server, and she was very sweet and kind. The food was not great, eggs were not cooked to our request, and the bacon was not crispy, just oily and chewy. We left most of our food on the plate.

Early business breakfast meeting here. Service is decent, food is fine but nothing to write home to mom about. They didnt have the healthy sides I prefer to home fries, like slices cucumber and avocado, which I thought was odd, but then maybe people dont order those things at this place or neighborhood. Id go again for a meeting but not a place I would take my family as we like little changes to our meals at times.

Rude hostess! We were seated at a booth we requested. The table was not cleaned from previous customers. We waited patiently to be acknowledged and served. The wait staff kept walking past us without acknowledging us. After 15 min we decided it was time to leave. It wasn t busy at all so I don t know what the problem was besides poor management.
