Cora’s Breakfast & Lunch

I’m a fan of Cora’s but the Vaughan location left me underwhelmed. I went as a party of 4 and 3 out of the 4 dishes had undercooked and/​or overcooked items. My sausage, for example, was so burnt that I could barely cut it in half. It also seems (and I’m not sure if this is the franchisee’s fault or the company as a whole) but they’re choosing lower-​end ingredients. The beef patty in the Brunch Burger looked microwaved and flimsy. As a higher-​end breakfast place I expect more. It’s a good concept but it was badly executed. If you can’t offer quality dishes, don’t put them on your menu.
The redeeming factor is that service was quick, but I’m starting to think that’s because less and less people are choosing to go here…
I would recommend going somewhere else for breakfast in Vaughan. Galaxie Diner is way better and more affordable.

Very busy restaurant! Staff was overwhelmed when I was there the last few times. I love the blueberry pancakes with the English cream. I always ask for extra cream on the side because it’s so good! :)

We came here on a double brunch date for new years day, so it was considerably busy even though it’s a smaller place. We were seated pretty quickly (10 min) and promptly ordered our coffees (which tasted pretty bad to be honest: P but enough cream and sugar will make anything taste decent). I got the Cora’s special, and my friends got the spinach omelette and rosemary Sunday. My friend found more than one dark gross hair in her food but they took care of it, but it made all of us have to check every bite and grossed us all out. That’s why as much as I love Cora’s I had to give this location 3 stars.
Considering how well they handled the situation I’d probably be back because it is a convenient location for a change instead of driving to Dufferin and Steeles

Cora’s Beakfast is amazing i love this place. i highly recommended!

Most Cora’s I’ve been to has been fairly standard and this one was no different. Had breakfast here before spending the day helping my friend paint his place. Had the Cora’s special. Bacon was crisp, sausage was tasty and peameal was good. Hash brown could use a little more time in the pan. Eggs were cooked to my liking. Pancake was fluffy which was a good end to my breakfast. Venue itself was welcoming and overall a great breakfast.

It’s Cora’s, what else needs to be said, great food, wonderful staff and very baby friendly.

My first experience here was rather pleasant other than the ridiculous long line up. This time we called ahead and asked if there was a line up since we were super hungry and not in the mood to wait. We were told there was not a single person in line and after a 5 minute drive and upon entering the restaurant there was about 10 people ahead of us. I doubt this line developed within 5 minutes but it is possible.
Anyways, me and my fiancé ordered the egg benedict with asparagus and swiss cheese. (same thing I had ordered last time, my fiancé had ordered pancakes previously). It didn’t taste as good this time probably a ⁷⁄₁₀ (only bc the presentation and variety on the plate boosted it’s rating).
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!
VEGETARIANS, HALAL EATERS, MUSLIMS, NON-​PORK EATERS or KOSHER EATERS THIS IS FOR YOU!
To our horror my fiancé found BACON on his plate mixed up with the french fries. It could have very easily been passed off as french fries bc there were tiny burnt potato pieces.
our server took his plate away, apologized and brought him back a new plate and said his plate would not be charged on the bill. We had both lost our appetite at that point. I was sick or else I would have made a big deal about it. But this is not acceptable. The fact that the french fries and bacon were cooked together and hidden from customers is appalling. What if my fiancé had eaten the bacon? People who don’t eat pork for (the many reasons listed above) typically feel very strongly about NOT EATING IT! WE WILL NOT BE GOING BACK

Great service by waitresses, as for the construction breakfast I had the fruit look like they’ve been out for the last 48 hours. Won’t bee back

Every friday i have my breakfast here then continue my work day, very tasty and yummy :)

This Cora’s is by far the best I’ve visited. The place is room enough to not be packed on a Saturday morning. The fruits were cut fresh, bacon was done perfectly, Egg benedict was runny was requested, and the potatoes are not overly cooked like 90% of most breakfast place!

Overpriced for what you’re getting. There are much better places in Vaughan to get breakfast, but this place continues to pack them in.
I’ve been in twice in the last 6 months and while many of the items are unique to Cora’s, it has very high prices to reflect it.
Service is average… the waitstaff won’t knock your socks off with friendly rapport but get the job done.

Still can’t get enough of this hot spot!
Amazing staff! Wicked fast service! Awesome coffee and delicious fresh food!
Sunday mornings go before 10am or you will be waiting in a line out the door!
Love this location!

The food here is phenomenal! The choices are so interesting, the portions are huge and everything looks and tastes so amazing.
Checkout their menu online and you can see all the super delicious and interesting menu items they have. I continually get the Eggs Benedict with spinach which is absolutely amazing. All their dishes come with a medium to large side serving of fresh fruit that is cut in cute shapes. I’ve also had their crepes which are insanely good but HUGE. And for an amazing hangover/​couple different menu options, go for the omelette in a crêpe, they make a super delicious crêpe, roll in it a thin omelette, cheese, sometimes veggies and they give you an amazing sauce on top. It’s such a delicious-​doughy-​highCal hangover or craving option.
I’ve eaten at both this and the Dufferin-​Steeles location and the service is better at the Dufferin-​Steeles location. We went early Sat morning and they were busy but the waitresses were all in some sort of mood.

Expensive
Really busy, over worked/​under staffed but they try

My experience has always been pleasant because the people I’ve been with have been excellent. The service is poor but the food is above average. Compared to Wimpy’s (where I won’t ever come back), this is way more decent. I like that their brunch always have fruits — healthy.
I brought my 5-​year old nephew here and he told me, «the next time you take me for breakfast again, can we come back here.» What an endorsement Cora’s!
The servers seem to look miserable though. And the place lacks window or lighting. it seems dark so the atmosphere inside is lazy and sleepy. It begs you to go back to bed. Not good for a breakfast place.
I will recommend this but ask to be seated by the window. And don’t look at the waiters, you will notice that they don’t like their work.

Worst breakfast experience I’ve ever had. The food was cold and tasteless like an old boot fished out of an old creek. Our waiter was also a collapsing man that made us sit and wait for the credit card machine to go up again because we had no cash. Our party had been up for more than 24 hours and all we wanted to do was leave and get to the hotel for a few hours sleep before checkout. It seemed like we waited forever. I probably could have written a novel at the table while waiting, but I didn’t bring my typewriter and I don’t draft on paper. I’m better than that. The décor was cheap and Cora herself looks like a catfish that swam past the food they fished out of the aforementioned creek. Whenever I see a Cora restaurant I will take the chance on a speeding ticket just to get it out of my sight. Shut it down!

Excellent breakfast choices. There’s always fresh fruit available with every entrée. Their crepes are heavenly and their Belgian waffles are light and fluffy. When I’m in T-​dot Cora’s is always part of my itinerary.

This place was recommended by many locals and in a chain of restaurants in eastern Canada that specializes in breakfast. We went to this on with a friend of ours while were in town on vacation. Place is very busy and food ends up mediocre because of it. We waited about 20 minutes for our table. Service was seemed routine as the waitresses darted from table to table at just about the right times you need them. Food service however, is on the slower side due to the volume. The food looks good on the menu and price are reasonable or a little above. We had the eggs benedict, an omelette type dish and a brioche dish. The fruit was fresh and the breads were good. The eggs, well, were over cooked and the potatoes were just okay. Overall, it’s just another breakfast place. Would go back if in a pinch but totally underwhelmed expectations.

Cora’s Breakfast within a community of Italian restaurants and when we came here on a weekday noon hour it was just PACKED but we got there right in time to see a table for 4 get cleaned and we hounded it as the standard procedures.
Cora’s menu is AWESOME especially for those that are vegetarians or fruitarians or inbetween. The service here fast and friendly with instant coffee refills but smiles are not readily available, nonetheless we came here for Breakfast and the SUNSHINE bright happiness décor that gets us away from the sad dark space we call our Office.
Cora’s is my Brunch go-​to place whenever I want a full PINT of variety fresh fruits at a reasonable value along side my normal western Egg, Sausage, Toast breakfast. I’m not a fruity person by any means, so if you have family members or friends that are the same then they will also enjoy the fruit here because of the presentation and color contrast that make it an experience rather than old boring fruit.
I’ve had the Peggy’s Poached before but I’m not a fan of Cottage Cheese for breakfast, so this time I had the 1990’s Harvest which is an amazing Egg, Bacon, Cinnamon Raison Brioche with a MOUNTAIN of fresh fruit. It definitely gave me a good boost of energy ready to start my day.
When we went up to the register to pay we realized it was 1 o’clock and most of the restaurant was CLEARED of patrons but we wondered where the cashier was as we waited around 5 minutes blocking off the entrance/​exit hoping to pay and rush back to our Month-​End tasks.
