I don't know why there's so much Cora's hate here. I quite liked this restaurant. I've been to Cora's on the southside before and I know there's usually a line. If there's a line go in, and put your name in for a table. With just my friend and I we only had to wait about ten minutes to get seated, which isn't that long. If you're visiting with a larger party it may take more time.
Whenever I go here I always have a hard time debating what to get. Although I love the fruit smoothies I started with a mochacinno because I really needed a coffee. Unlike one of my fellow Yelpers I did get whip (and quite a bit) on mine. The drink was good, but very sweet.
Then it's the debate between something savoury, like the eggs benedict or something sweet like the raspberries for lucie crepe. I went with sweet and got the crepe with banana and nutella and whipped cream on top.
There's just one crepe but it's huge and very delicious. It's rather sweet and I also ordered a side of bacon which was pretty good. But it was so much food. I always forget that when I go to Cora's, you get a lot of food.
The only bad thing was we got seated at a booth first, which I found very squished. If you like a bit of space make sure to request a table. Luckily our server came back and asked if we wanted to moved to a table, so we did.
Sherwood Park is a bit out of the way for me, so I can't say I'd come back to this location right away. However; if you're in Sherwood Park or on the east side of the city it's pretty easy to get to and good spot for breakfast/brunch. -

I was really REALLY excited to check out Cora as I had heard so many positive things from fairly health conscious people. I decided to go on a Saturday for brunch. I went solo as I do enjoy dining by myself sometimes and people watching and enjoying some quiet with my thoughts. I was seated promptly and was excited to check out the menu.
A server came by shortly and took my drink order. I ordered green tea which arrived quickly. I was never given water and I am not sure if this is something I was supposed to ask for or if it was missed.
As I browsed their menu, I decided to throw the "healthy brunch" goal out the door. Ham and Cheddar crepe Panini with Hollandaise and a mound of fruit looked extremely appealing. I ordered the dish and expected to wait a while as the restaurant was very busy.
My food arrive fast. Maybe a bit too fast. The crepe itself was barely heated up (I am assuming they are not fresh made) and the egg inside the crepe was cold, yet somehow the ham in the middle was warm, however none of it was by any means hot. This concerned me a bit as food needs to be at a certain temperature in restaurants to be considered "safe", and I didn't see how this could meet those requirements. Remembering though that I have eaten far worse while traveling , and being a firm believer in not wasting food, I dug in.
I had taken about two bites before I realized something was missing. The dish had a good amount of salt to it with the ham and cheese, but it was missing something to balance it out. and then I realized what it was........the Hollandaise sauce! I was REALLY looking forward to the Hollandaise sauce and it was completely forgotten! Not there, not even a drop, definitely missing.
My server never came by again to see how my meal was. The fruit was very good and fresh, but the crepe made me seriously sad. I may check out another location to see if this was specific to this location, however I have crossed Cora off my "places to have a nice brunch" list as I think cooking food in a restaurant is a bare minimum expectation. -

My first time and was skeptical to even go after hearing two polarized views. I get in the door and meet total awkwardness...being stared at next to the "Please wait to be seated" sign. Ordered the 4th of July: crepes, french toast and fresh fruit. The crepes were obviously pre made and frozen, with very chewy texture and dry ends. Yuck. Only saving grace was fresh fruit on top.
Put your money to better use at another joint or make breakfast yourself. Not worth the visit. -

Absolutely love the food at Cora's! Huge selection with many health conscious alternatives. Sometimes its nice to have a breakfast that is not caked in bacon grease (...sometimes). The fruit is always fresh and is a nice change from the standard greasy hashbrowns you would get as a side at most other breakfast places.
Prices are high for a breakfast/brunch/lunch place so it's kind of a treat when I go there. And as long as you get there before 9am on the weekends you might only have to wait a few mins to get in. But as a huge fan of sleeping in, this is not always the case for me. I usually end up waiting anywhere from 15 to 30 mins to get in and sometimes it gets really chaotic there. Parking at this location is atrocious!! Ummmm poor planning for sure - in a lot with limited parking right next to a Tim Horton's, Joey's Tomato, A & W, etc...good luck finding a spot at lunch time during the week!!
I think this place is worth trying at least once for sure! A good choice if you are looking to take your gramma out for breakfast one day - it's got that kind of a grandma-y feel to it I guess. -

This was my third time to a Cora restaurant. Same atmosphere inside, but it just seemed lacking compared to the one's in Edmonton. First there wasn't an animal fruit display like we saw in the South Edmonton location when you walk in. The North Edmonton location at least had a fruit display even if they weren't shaped like animals. This location had nothing.
Seating took awhile because the hostess really took her time, so table sat empty for the longest time. It also seemed as though (and I may be wrong here) some people were getting seated ahead of others because they knew the hostess. In particular one group of four (looked like grandparents with their grandkids) were seated almost immediately upon arriving and were on a first name basis with the hostess.
Our waitress was friendly. However we had to ask repeatedly for water before she finally complied. We were also ready to order when she took our drink order but she rushed off before we could order our food.
The food was delicious as always. I had a mochaccino which I've had a different location. There was no whip, and it wasn't all that great (in fact it was almost a chore to drink it). We all ordered bacon as a side, and I was a little disappointed to notice that 2 out of 3 of us had 4 strips of bacon while the third only received 3 pieces.
Overall, I wouldn't come back to this location. I love Cora, but this location could do better I think.
