Review from Karen S.

I love Cora! Despite the unhealthily-sized portions (they're ginormous!), I love everything about this place. As a franchise, I know what I'm going to get and at least I can fool myself into believing that I'm not consuming more calories than I should when I dig into the mountainous piles of fresh fruit and associated deliciousness. I've had French toast, French toast brioche, pancakes, various sandwiches, omelets... etc, all bring on an extraordinary feeling of satisfaction that result in guaranteed smiles after brunch. The unlimited coffee is very much appreciated, always refilled quickly, and the service is brisk.
Perhaps due to its more isolated location compared to the other franchises, I've never had issues getting a seat right away or fairly soon after arrival, which is not the case with other locations. If you're already in the area, I would choose this location over the Warden and Highway 7 location because of this. It's located in a giant, big-box, newish plaza where not all the units are occupied. Plenty of free parking, credit cards accepted.Listed in: A good time with friends

Review from bold c.
Toronto, ON
5/21/2011 1 Check-in Here
Recommendation: MEH! 2.5 stars depending on the day of the week
Odd. I have come here so many times that I thought I reviewed it.
I would have given it 5 stars as the service and food used to be outstanding...now it is Meh!
20 sec summary
-----------------------
1. The restaurant is 20% occupied but the service is below it's standard
2. Waited at the door for about 2-3 minutes waiting for staff
3. While I waited for a colleague I ordered a coffee. One male staff actually told me they could not take my order and told me to wait for my friend. Wtf???
4. His justification is that he could not punch in two orders. Wtf?
5. Ordered a coffee and waited for my friend...we got the bill asap and went to Eggsmart for real service.
Recommendation: stick to this place on the weekends when trained staff are present
Avoid during the week if you do not want your time wasted.
Alternatives: consider egg smart in the local area - 5 minutes south -

I've heard some bad things about Cora's locations downtown Toronto, but this new location in Richmond is pretty good! It's right across the street from my work, and I've been a few times for pre-work breakfast and once for lunch.
Cora's is a chain, so no surprises with the menu here -- expect the usual fresh variety of gourmet brunch options that Cora's is famous for. My main complaint with the menu is that Cora's doesn't list the entire menu online, and they don't post any of the nutritional information either. If you're looking for something lower cal/fat I recommend Peggy's poached, which comes with a poached egg, toast, cottage cheese and fruit. I was also disappointed that they don't offer low fat cream cheese or salad dressings. Prices are a little high for breakfast, but portions are HUGE for most items.
Recently Cora's has brought out some new "summer" lunch salads. The Pacifico Salad (greens, smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese and a bagel) was delicious, but pretty skimpy on the greens. Cora's does indeed serve the famous Montreal bagels, which is a huge plus; only downside is they only have plain white.
Service is here is great. I've never had to wait long for a table, server or food. Breakfast on weekdays it's fairly empty, and weekdays they draw a decent crowd for lunch. Never been on weekends, but I'm sure like most Cora's locations it fills up quick.
Also, BOTTOMLESS COFFEE. If you need a pick-me-up, the combination of sugar-packed breakie with limitless caffeine will leave you tweaked and twitching.
