Disappointed with Service and Food Handling at Cora Restaurant (Upper James location)

We recently dined at Cora with high expectations, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. As vegetarians, we made it very clear to our server that we do not consume any meat, eggs, or fish. When our nacho grilled cheese sandwiches arrived, we were surprised to find large pieces of chicken in one of them. We politely asked for it to be remade without chicken, only to have the server return within minutes, claiming the kitchen had freshly prepared it.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the chicken pieces were simply removed from the sandwich, as one sandwich still had chicken left in it. This was incredibly disappointing—not only was the food mishandled, but it felt disrespectful to lie to us, assuming we wouldn’t notice. Mistakes happen; I understand this as someone who has worked in the restaurant industry. However, honesty and respect are key, especially when it comes to dietary preferences. I hope the restaurant addresses this issue for future diners.
It's safe to say that we will not be returning to Cora ever.

Vegetarian options: You’ll need to inspect your own food to check if it has meat or egg, as the server or kitchen might not be honest.

Service was great, me and my friend were being a bit of a pain because we hadn't seen one another in 6 months so we barely looked at the menu when the server came the first 2 times. Food was so tasty, my smoothie and cappuccino were delicious. I got the crepe with sundried tomatoes, Benedict sauce, olives, chorizo and halloumi cheese. A bit on the more expensive side for a breakfast place but worth it.

Myself and my hockey team were recently in Cora's for breakfast and had the most wonderful experience. Our server, Patrick, was extremely attentive, friendly, kind and caring. He went out of his way to make sure each and every member of our group was cared for, especially those with significant celiac allergies. The food came out quickly and was very tasty! Everyone left full and happy. We were even offered complementary fudge on our way out. Highly recommend this location. Everyone agreed it was the best experience that we had during our trip. HUGE shoutout to Patrick - what a fantastic person!!

Came here for breakfast with my family. 10 adults and 5 kids. Our host Patrick was so great! He was very attentive and great with all the kids. I was so impressed because I've had other waiters get short when dealing with the kids who are usually well behaved unless they're hungry.
We've found a new favorite spot and will be returning! Thank you Patrick and Cora's!

Average overall. The smoked meat looked kinda wilted. Could be better compared to other locations. The service was good and courteous.

Food is always good, though this time I was seated at a dirty table and I noticed kitchen staff slicing fruit and preparing food with their bare hands. I thought gloves were a standard practice everywhere. Please use gloves

Honestly wasn't that great. Prices are higher than similar breakfast places that have better tasting food. Service was ok. Wouldn't allow us to pay the balance of our bill with cash after a gift card. Just not a good experience. Won't be back. We much prefer Stacked or Egg and I.
