Cora Breakfast & Lunch - Ottawa, Ontario

First time experience. Wasn't expecting to see so many staff crowded right around the entrance, it was nice to see how staffed they were, it made me hopeful... Our server, Alex, was in training so we tried to take that into consideration. The menu was a little awkward to navigate, but ... we got our food really quick and all at once. The food portions were huge, which made me feel a little bit better considering the prices but we were a little disappointed. The potatoes look promising but were quite soft, my pancakes were still a little raw in the middle and my over easy eggs were basically white... There wasn't much to say about the flavour of the food itself, not terrible, just bland, fortunately, they provide salt and pepper on the table and plenty of other condiments, as photographed. I know we should have brought these issues up but our server was hardly to be seen and frankly, we just wanted to leave by that point. Not terrible, just not the best start to our day considering a breakfast for two was over $60... Not pictured but my wife got a strawberry milkshake, that was practically finished within two sips, and my tea was just a packaged teabag in a tiny cup... Definitely don't go for drinks. I understand being new and needing a bit more patience, but because we were tucked so far back when there was plenty of seating closer, we ended up having to wait almost 10 minutes after we were done to get the bill. Our server seemed to be flying solo despite the "in training" tag so perhaps next time one of the many staff chatting by the door could have shadowed or assisted. Read more

I like Coras. The food is always pretty good although I find a lot if the fruit tasteless and goes to waste. With such high prices now (breakfast was around $20 😱) I'd either prefer better fruit ir reduced fruit, reduced pricing. That said, it's a fun busy place and ... our server was AMAZING, dealing with an ornery customer and serving us with a smile. Read more

a bit of lineup at the beginning, which could be better organized, but it was worth waiting. The food was great, and the service was too 👌

My work friends and I get together once a month (or every 2 weeks depending on who’s available) on a Friday and go to Cora’s for breakfast. We are always greeted with a smile and pleasant service. The food comes quickly and is very fresh. It is a bit pricey (for 1 waffle ... it’s around $20) it has custard, strawberries and whip cream on it. So it’s a bit expensive but delicious. So for 4 people it’s about $100 as prices range from $18-26 for what we usually purchase. It would be great to get coupons or deals sometimes but we haven’t noticed any yet. Read more

Great menu with a lot of options. The food was prepared quickly and the service was good. This was my first time and I had the Cora Special or Cora Breakfast. A pancake, fruit, potatoes, toast, 2 eggs, sausage, ham and bacon. It was great! Everything was fresh ... and yummy! I'll be back for sure. Read more
