Cora’s Breakfast & Lunch

Our meal started with cold waffles for our daughter (we went this morning) so we just asked for fresh ones (mind you at 2 quarters of a waffle for $ 5.75 I thought the expectation was a fresh meal), then I received my 1 pancake with pecans and caramel sauce; cold pancake with refrigerated caramel sauce lol they completely missed the mark for fresh warm breakfast options. Server was nice (this is what happens when you receive bad service you talk about the server being nice). Oh and then the bill came! I paid slightly over $ 9.00 for 1 pancake, a few pecans and a saucer of caramel sauce which was $ 3 alone! l
If you want to throw your money away. Sure try it!

Dropped by today for a quick brunch.
This visit everything had gone perfectly. Our server was responsive and polite, the spinach omelet I ordered turned out wonderful. I was in and outta there less than 35 minutes.
Ive been to this location before, my last visit was terrible (1.5yrs ago), my food was cold and my buddy’s meal didn’t come until I had almost finished mine.
Lookin forward to try their strawberry crapes next time sooooon. The customers next to me had me convinced.

I don’t understand the low star rating, honestly. We came for breakfast on a Sunday and while the place was busy we were seated within 15 minutes. Our server was extremely helpful and on top of things. We had the Gigi, a platter with eggs and turkey sausage, and an egg and cheddar crêpe combination with 4 coffees. The food was plentiful and the coffee was flowing and refilled promptly. I loved all the fresh fruit. We have some excellent breakfast and brunch places in Michigan that we frequent so standards are on the high side, and I’d give this a solid 4 stars. I’d say the prices should be lower, and that’s my only gripe.

Entrees are okay but use to be better
Sometimes stuff is cold by the time it arrives and bacan is like leather
I try to order the safe bet stuff so I won’t be disappointed

The food is great here, but I really love for them to open at least for early dinner. I would come here more often if they don’t close so early.
Service is great and friendly, but I think I am allergic to something at the booths, every time I am seated there, my nose stuff up and my eyes are itchy by the end of the meal. (it happens to me at another Cora also, so I think is the material they used for all their booths) It’s good for a big breakfast/​brunch/​lunch.

I’m reluctant to give any place less then 3 stars, but that just shows that something is quite lacking at this Cora’s location. We stopped by on a sunday late morning being in the neighbourhood, thinking we would be in and out within 30−40mins. Unfortunately for us, we were quite mistaken.
Walking into the restaurant you could see several empty tables, however the line up was so long that people were queued outside. The waitress was moving at a pace you would expect at a slow, empty restaurant, not a bustling, noisy one like this place!
When we finally were seated, nobody came by our table for 15 minutes. Finally, after seeing our quite obvious discomfort, a busy waiter came by and told us that it would be another 5 minutes. We eventually did order, but any enjoyment of the food was ruined by the sluggishly slow experience.
I will not be returning to this location again, unless forced.

I am a big Cora’s fan !!! For breakfast/​brunch my husband & I find it the best place to go to. Presentation of the food is great and really tempting.
Their spinach-​cheddar crepes are by far the best thing. As I write this I am drooling for those crepes now. This is one of the restaurants which I miss here in the US. Ahhh why don’t they have Cora’s here .
Canadians you are blessed with Cora’s. lucky you !!!

After reading some of the comments here we were reluctant to try this location but we are so glad we did.
Service was awesome and food was even better.
I had the oatmeal with fruit which in some restaurants is instant but not here. Fully cooked with cream, maple syrup and other fruits.
Highly recommend this location. It was very busy yet service was excellent and food was served quickly.

I find Cora’s can kind of be hit and miss — especially since my options are basically limited to omelets. I was meeting my friend for brunch and since she was running late I ordered a latte while I waited. It was pretty terrible, made worse by the $ 4 price tag. Might as well have stopped at Starbucks and had a good latte!
Our server wasn’t too well versed in what did/​did not contain gluten and said that the buckwheat crepes were safe. I asked for the ingredient list just to be sure and enriched flour was on the list. Glad I checked!
After several tries at branching out, I gave up and ordered the eggs Benedict (sans English muffin and hollandaise sauce — gluten) with asparagus and cheese. It was good, but nothing to write home about.
My friend somewhat enjoyed her spinach and cheddar crêpe. Again, nothing special.
In the end I was pretty disappointed with what I got for $ 20.

it was good, the food was good service was ok. It was noisy and the people beside us were loud and kind of ignorant asking why they dont serve halal. They probably dont serve halal because they dont need your business. If you want halal go somewhere else, otherwise shut up and let the rest of us enjoy our meal. I will give it another try and hopefully its not as loud and i have different people sitting beside us. Bottom line the food was good, the service was laid back, they are in no rush, but at the end of the day you got what you paid for.

We’ve been to a few other locations in the area and this one seems to be the slowest. The first time we we there we had to wait almost an hour for our food. We went back a few times afterwards and experienced the same, if not slower, service. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands avoid this location.
Food quality is same as other locations when we finally got it.

So we got here at about 1 pm on a sunday and waited a little over 5 mins before being seated. And about 20 mins lated we had to leave as no one in the restaurant cared to come and take our order!
Tried calling a few servers and finally the manager, and they would look at us and just walk past! (I was starting to doubt my sanity or the way i was calling them but it seemed to work just fine in the restaurant next door!)
And to clear any doubts, they were probably under 40% capacity at that point.
Anyone can make eggs and bacon. you go out and shell the money for the experience.
Worst restaurant experience ever!

Cora’s is coras. All of them are exactly the same. I usually prefer not to come here, but I was kidnapped into missisauga and had to come here for breakfast.
As usual, all the items were identical to other locations.
My thoughts: calm down on the fruit fashion and maybe lower their prices. If im spending almost 20 dollars on breakfast, that’s an issue.
I hot the construction breakfast. Eggs x 3 with bacon and sausage. nothing special. All the fruit they used were not in season, so they sucked.

I rarely go out for breakfast but my friend wanted to meet up for a brunch and she wanted to try either Panera or Cora’s. With a flip of a coin, we headed to Cora’s. I wish the coin flipped the other way.
The words ‘slow, idle, tardy, stagnant, sleepy, or slack’ does not capture the horrible service we received here. I think we were only one of 3 tables and each table only had 3 people at most. I think the other tables were as frustrated as we were to get our order, get our food, and get our cheque. What I would hope to be a nice breakfast turned into a 1.5 hour ordeal. Not fun at all.
I can honestly say the food quality is alright but the service put off any potential good flavours coming out of the kitchen. Just as a quick note, I ordered a strawberry filled crêpe. It was jammy sweet but the crêpe was decent. It wasn’t huge and the actual real strawberries (that wasn’t part of the jammy insides) were really white, bland, and tasted like air. The cost was pretty pricey for it… $ 10+ tax. I think I felt a bit ripped off considering it wasn’t much to it.
Save your time and sanity… head somewhere else!

Meh… Ridiculously overpriced bland breakfast. I had the Greek omelette… it was a disappointment …

For a Saturday morning, this place was quite dead.
Our waitress was friendly but pretty slow with bringing out the orders.
I ordered the Tuna Melt sandwich w/​fruit + strawberry/​banana smoothie (yum!) and my boyfriend had the ‘Gargantuan Breakfast’ and coffee.
Our waitress dropped ½ of my sandwich on the floor so I had to wait about 15 minutes for a new one. I was a little miffed but I got over it — accidents happen.
My boyfriend’s meal had a wide variety of breakfast foods — including beans. Unfortunately, they were microwaved (piping hot on the outside & freezing cold in the centre). My tuna melt was delicious and I even got another ½ to go because of the mix-​up.
I will probably try another location in Mississauga next time.

One day when my wife and I were eating here when the place had just opened, there was a raffle for a free breakfast per month for a year for one person. Well, it just so happened that my wife’s raffle ticket won. So naturally, we were eating breakfast/​brunch here once a month.
This is a great breakfast/​brunch place. There are quite a few options available in the waffles and eggs. They pack a bunch of fruit in every plate to make it healthier. Their smoothies and juices are made fresh to order and don’t have any added sugar or preservatives.
This location has great staff that are friendly and a great manager who knows what customer service is all about.

Like Denny’s but with a fruit explosion with every meal!
A simple no frills breakfast/​brunch place, Cora’s packs a bunch of fresh fruit with every meal which I love! I had a glass of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice with an order of a toasted ham and cheese sandwich topped with slices of honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapples, grapes, watermelon, kiwis and bananas. Dipped in trademark Canadian pure maple syrup! Yum!
Plus, we were a huge group of 15. Our waitress always made sure to tend to us and with a friendly smile to boot!

I decided to keep my brunch habit up while in Canada and we headed over to Cora’s.
Its true that when you walk in, this place is covered in fruit but luckily, there are breakfast options for those who like savory like me. The menu is very inviting with great photos and seems to be full of hidden pages. Haha. The prices are a wee bit high for what it is but not awful. I liked how they had so many options across the board from omelets to skillets to waffles to crepes. They also had great takes on sweet and savory crepes.
I ordered the spinach and cheese crêpe omelette, while my relatives ordered the panini-​crêpe with ham, the eggs benedict and a kids fruit crêpe. We also got lattes, the fruit drink of the day and a kid’s apple juice.
My crêpe was ok but I didn’t taste a lot of cheese and the hollandaise sauce was way too salty. It reminded me of a salt lick. The actual texture of the crêpe is great. It’s perfectly thin.
I didn’t taste the eggs benedict or the panini-​crêpe but my cousins seemed to like it. I noticed the apple was brown on arrival though. For a place that’s all about the fruit, I expect more. The fruit crêpe was huge and a great deal for $ 5. The cream on the fruit crêpe is nice and light too.
The latte was ok and the fruit drink of the day was surprisingly good.
The service was quick though kind of eh. This place is def. A-​Ok. Not much more or less.

I usually order takeout from Cora’s but today I decided to dine in with a friend for breakfast.
We arrived when the restaurant wasn’t that full yet. However, we had to wait a while for the hostess to greet us and clean up a table for us. The service was a bit slow but not THAT show that I would have to complain. I ordered 2 sunny-​side up eggs with sausage and a strawberry and banana smoothie. My friend just ordered their original pancakes with a fruit cocktail. When our food arrived, the server dropped my toast so he came back with a new batch. I have to say that the breakfast food at Cora’s is much better than Denny’s…however, it’s a bit pricey.
Overall, the food was good and I would probably eat from here again… but it wouldn’t be that often. There’s also a restaurant that’s similar to Cora’s called Tutti Frutti… I should try that out and compare the two restaurants.
