Cora Breakfast and Lunch

Been to the one in Newmarket 3 times and was awful. So, tried the one on York Mills 4 times and only had one good experience. Usually the food arrives cold. The servers need to be properly trained. When someone is leaving half their food on the plate, they should be asking what was wrong with it. The hollandaise sauce is all broken up over the food and turns you right off. Won’t ever be back nor will my friends.

I just came here today, and as always I am quite happy with Coras. The lines are intimidating, and they never seem to end. However, I suppose the turnover is not that bad, had to wait about 25 minutes today. Our food was okay this time, nothing to cheer about. I had been craving Eggs benny, my usual. But today it was cold, and my boyfriends meal was a tad cold as well. Not too sure why. Also the Hollandaise sauce wasn’t totally on point or smooth, intact a tad clumpy. The eggs even though I ordered soft, only one of them was. The food was still good, and the end of the day always happy with coras but sometimes its just some of the small things, that need to be mastered…

This used to be an «OK» place. But it has become overcrowded, with long waiting list. They rush to bring you uncooked breakfast, the cheese on the omelette is not even melted and stays solid… I stopped going to this place after their prices hiked. Paying over $ 30 for 2 veggie omelettes not including coffee seems a little too much for their quality of food and service.

Waited for over forty mins and we found out that they have taken our name from the list because someone else took our sits instead. Food was just okay, they forgot the toast.

Good reliable place for breakfast nearby our house. Service is good most of the time. Will return again. They are generous with their bread.

Don’t go to this location. The customer service went downhill, the place is filthy and the location needs a GOOD painting and refurnishing. WAITRESS WAS HORRIBLY RUDE, INTERRUPTING, RUDE TO A KID, AND RUSHED US, WE HAD TO LEAVE.
Went here with my family, we got here right before closing, and the hostess let us in to sit down. As we were trying to order, our waitress kept interrupting my Father as he tried to order, and «shushing» my nephew (he is 4 and sometimes his voice is too loud), but this waitress (I know her name, but I don’t feel like its fair to ruin her job, we will give her another chance and hope she finds herself and her soul in the future), completely RUSHED my Dad and our orders, she was so totally RUDE and it made me feel so sad that we came here on this beautiful sunny afternoon. It was a special day since my boyfriend wanted to take my Dad and nephew out to lunch and we planned on coming to Cora’s for such a long time. Unfortunately its hard to get my nephew out of the house in time and we just almost missed closing. But this girl was SO RUDE, IMPATIENT, JUDGEMENTAL, INCONSIDERATE.
I told my Father that we had to get up and leave, it wasn’t worth the money to be treated this way. I wouldn’t PAY to sit in this girl’s presence any longer, and not to mention the way she was disrespecting my father. We got up getting ready to leave and I asked the waitress for her name as she began to cry, she knew that what she did was wrong. All the other staff saw and knew what was going on.
I hope she got disciplined and learned her lesson, and I think its only fair to explain what happened here. I do not have the heart to disclose her name online. As if I was in this situation as the server, I would wish to have a second chance and learn from my mistakes, and grow as a person.
What really peeved me off was the fact that I could tell she was just in it for the money and not doing her job to make and give good energy and a good experience to a family. I work at a grocery store, and when customers come up to me and ask me questions or for help, I always smile and go the extra mile to make their day enjoyable. That is just who I am. having a miserable human being, only existing for her tip and to make some $$, not caring about the quality of life she is providing in her presence, is just INTOLERABLE for me.
Anyway, the service here sucks. Go to the one in Vaughan.

So this morning when I woke up, first thing in my mind is egg Benedict. I googled the nearest cora’s. I have been to many Other locations, such as Richmondhill, Scarborough, etc. I also lived in BC for 5 years so I tried many different Coras in BC as well. This Cora? Is must be a joke. Serves was bad, the guy was literally talking to his coworker while I was waiting for the water. Didn’t bother to check on me while I’m eating! And the food sucks. Everything was over cooked. The Hollandaise sauce was too salty and they put too much lemon juice in it. So it tastes both salty and sour. I can not believe they ruined the spirite of the egg Benedict.

The food was amazing, but the service was not so great. The server didn’t take my order so I had to ask him to come back and then when the food came out we were missing a place and it took a while for the last plate to come out (which I assume our server missed the order)
But overall the food was yummy!

Love Coras! One of my favourite breakfast spots.
This location’s service is a bit slow but the food is always great.
I would suggest the Rosemary’s Sunday (because it had a little bit of everything; from eggs, sausage and home fries to pancakes) or the tuna melt. Delish!

I generally enjoy going to Cora’s but I was not pleased at this location. I came here twice thunjing maybe the first time was just a bad day for the waiter but i was wrong. I’ve been to several Cora’s but this one by far was the worst. First of, the service. This female seemed to be a little confused, either she is new or she didn’t want to do her job? My friend and I was standing at the front waiting to be seated and this young female looks at us, then looks around, then back at us, pauses and slowly walks towards us. With no greeting, she just says «follow me». So we get to our seat and thankfully our server was friendlier.
BUT the food. My omelette was falling apart. I’ve been to many other locations and I know how it’s suppose to look like but they’ve put less fruits AND my omelette was not cooked properly. I can make better omelettes and it seemed as if they tried adding water to the egg mixture. As for the table, it was quite sticky and not wiped down properly. I don’t think I’ll return to this location.

Here in town with some friends and after waiting for a crazy long time (when there were tables open. why?) we finally got sat and had a good meal.
I had the waffles which is one thick giant waffle with strawberries piled high. Subbed Nutella for the crème. Good stuff.
Food is good. Wait is bad.

The problem with this Cora’s is how poorly managed it is. They are incredibly busy all the time, yet they have no clue how to seat customers. People will finish their meal and leave their table and the staff will either:
a) ignore the abandoned table that needs to be bussed for far too long
or
b) they’ll buss the table and let the clean empty table just sit there empty while ignoring people waiting to be sat because they prefer to seat in the order you arrive.
Let me break that down for you: if you are 10^th on the list and you are a party of 4 and there are 9 party of 2’s ahead of you and there is an empty table for 4, they will leave that empty table for 4 and let you wait 20 minutes while they seat the 9 parties of 2 ahead of you. At tables for 2. While that table for 4 remains empty – lonely even. They could have sat you instantly but they for some reason they don’t. Occasionally, they’ll seat two people at a 4 top and then a 2 top will open and they can’t seat you. I’ve never seen a restaurant do this and they’ve done this for years. Only this location. It’s dumb. And they are losing business because of it.
That said, the food is always good, the portions are ginormous, and once you actually get seated the waitstaff is helpful and sweet.
I usually get the oatmeal (made with water) with strawberries and cinnamon. There’s an option for Cora’s «Ode to Oatmeal» which is topped with granola, berries, maple syrup and English cream – a little too heavy for my tastes. My companions get the glutenous stuff. Strawberry Waffles are usually a hit (PRO-​TIP: with Nutella swapped for the custard) as well as the Gargantuan Feast which is just that: 2 eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, Canadian peameal bacon, blueberry pancake and roasted potatoes. All served with your choice of toast. (By the way, toast comes with jellies, jams and peanut butter!)
It’s convenient and the food is good, which is why we keep coming back, but the long lines and dreadful seating management take it down a star and crush your soul.

Bunch of friends visited Cora’s over the weekend. There was a long line and we had to wait for over half n hr to b seated. We were 6 of us and everyone checked-​in but u can redeem only one free cocktail per bill. Coming to the food. We ordered crepomelettes and theos omelette. Crepomelette was a disappointment. Too much liquid cheese and the taste of the crêpe + omelette was not good at all. Theos was good but i would prefer eggsmart’s veg omelette over it anytime. Mango banana smoothie could have been better with a little more of mango flavor. All in al a very average experience

Be ready for long line ups on the weekend! I got into the restaurant at around 12:30 — 1:00ish. Waited around 20 minutes and got a table. There were actually a lot of empty seats but my guess is they did not have enough people to clean and get the tables ready.
Pros:
–Food came really quickly and our waitress was awesome:)
–Portions were huge. I Ordered the Theo’s omelette and couldn’t even finish half of it
Cons:
–unlike other Coral restaurants, this location looks pretty run down and old.
–long line up on the weekend

Firstly, if I were to review just the service of this place, I would give it 5 stars, as we were 10 people today and our server handled us amazingly.
However, about the food, there had been a drastic change in their menu. THERE IS NO BEEF ANYMORE :(
They have replaced pretty much everything that came with beef, to ham; I was going to order eggs Benedictine with beef only to find out that beef had been eradicated from their menu. My poor stomach had to settle for brie cheese and mushroom.

Stepped into the Canadian version of IHOP, only healthier (most entrees served with fresh fruit)! Big menu with lots of choices…

I kinda like this brunch place. A long waiting line though. People who serve me were nice. Had a little brunch here today.

This is my first time at Cora’s and I can definitely say that I’ll be back very soon.
They serve breakfast until 3pm so it was pretty busy being a Sunday afternoon. The wait time to get a table was probably around 10 minutes and the wait time for our food was about 10 minutes as well. The food was DELICIOUS! And I was very impressed by the variety of options there was to choose from, made it so hard to narrow down to once choice. Even looking around at other tables, everything looked delicious and the presentation was beautiful.
I ordered a burrito that was filled with eggs, beans, veggies that came with sour cream and salsa, as well as a side of roasted potatoes. YUM! It was actually an item off the Teen menu so I was a bit scared the portions were going to be tiny bit I couldn’t even finish my meal. My sister had the Cora’s special which she enjoyed and couldn’t finish either. With most of the meals I saw there was a side of fruit as well. And as a side note, the prices are decently priced. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary there
FYI, while checking into Cora’s on my Unilocal app, I received a coupon for the cocktail of the day with any purchase of a meal over $ 7 (which most meals are anyways) for free! I got my smoothie on the spot for free = me a happy camper. So it totally pays to check-​in ;)
As I said before, I would definitely come back to Cora’s and will recommend them to everyone!

My lunch stop today. Not bad. I had the Ham & Cheese Crape with sliced fruit. It was hot (in temp) & had a decent flavour profile. Nothing else added to the meal.

Maybe we caught this location on a bad day but the service was really terrible. The waitress delivered orange juice to me which was so full that she spilled it all over the table, and didn’t bother to wipe it up. She took my coworker’s order down completely wrong, so the kitchen had to redo it, which resulted in us eating separately so that mine didn’t get cold.
The food itself was okay, but nothing to write home about. The sausage was really bland, as were the home fries. To be honest, the best part was the toast with jam, which I could have made at home!
