Took my 3 and 6 YO and it was great. Server put the kids food order in right away and was really great with kids being kids. Food came promptly and was delicious. Boys ate all their food which is the best vote you can get from them. Family friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Very good for kids. Kids menu covers all the usual options for kids.

I am baffled as to why people like this place. I knew it was going to be a bad experience from the start. A sign reads "please allow us the pleasure of seating you". Okay. That's standard. Except the person who was supposed to seat us took her sweet time. Then she takes even more time picking up some loose change from the counter as if someone would steal it if she took two seconds to seat us. The coffee was swamp water.... COLD swamp water. I asked for a glass of ice to add to my water. The male server repeated "Just a glass of ice". I said, "Yes". He still came back with a glass of water with a little bit of ice in it. The food took forever to arrive. I thought, "Well, at least it will be hot". Nope. Everything was cold. Are those supposed to be their signature potatoes? I love pan-fried potatoes, but these were bland and barely cooked! My "over easy" eggs were practically over hard. We didn't eat, as you can see. The server never came back to check on us. We left our table to pay and that's when he cleared the dishes and since we were still nearby, he told us to have a nice day. He didn't ask if anything was wrong with the food because he doesn't care. I will never, ever give my money to this place again. Cora, are you okay?

DONT ORDER TAKE OUT!
Ordered a pancake breakfast for take out with a coffee, didn’t get the coffee, or the maple syrup I was up charged for, was given brown delapatated fruit and dry pancakes. My order had 3 items and 2 were missing. I paid $30 for dry pancakes I didn’t eat. Go somewhere else!

We had breakfast this morning at Cora, the big plus of this brand is the mixed sweet and savory plates.
I really liked the decoration of the room in pastel colors.
Nothing to complain about the quality of the plate it was very good

The breakfast we needed to start our visit to Ottawa. An impressive choice, impossible to leave without having made a choice.

The truth is, if I could give it 0 marks I would, the service was horrible, the wait for the food was long and the moment I went to ask, the attitude was horrible. Not at all recommended, my boyfriend and I spent 1 hour in the place and we only took 10 minutes having breakfast.

This is definitely a popular breakfast place given that it was busy over the weekend. They have a lovely and extensive menu with loads of options. The service is super friendly, helpful and efficient and very quick too. The food is delicious and portion sizes are HUGE! Calorie count is mentioned next to each dish which is very helpful (though no one should be counting calories on a weekend breakfast). This is definitely a must go to when visiting Ottawa and I hope they open up in Toronto soon!! Prices too are extremely reasonable and free coffee refills is always a plus!

Breakfast was not up to usual Cora standard. Staff threw away my friend's food after she requested to take home leftovers. They did make her another breakfast.
