I want to point out that while there are about 3 GF options, Cora's themselves suggest they are not recommended for Celiac or Gluten Allergies. They cannot guarantee no cross contamination due to the nature of their prep area.

Overall, it was a good experience, and I enjoyed the food at Cora Breakfast and Lunch. We went on a Saturday morning, and I expected to have a wait. We called ahead, but they did not take reservations, and we had a group of five people, including a small baby. I have mobility issues, so waiting in line is not ideal. Luckily, there was no wait line, so we were seated fairly quickly. However, because we were a group of five and the baby's car seat could not be on the floor, they did have to rearrange tables. If we had one more person, we could have been seated in another area that would have accommodated our needs perfectly, and we were too big a group to sit at the standard four person table. We didn't mind waiting for this, and the service staff were friendly throughout. Our server was very kind, attentive to our needs, knowledgeable about the menu, and timely. The restaurant was reasonable at the noise level, and we were able to talk to one another and easily hear each other. Our food wait time was also reasonable, and the food was served hot. Their menu offers gluten-free and reasonably priced add ons. The average cost is about $15 to $17 per main course, not including beverages or extra items. There is a variety of breakfast items to choose from, ranging from several types of Eggs Benedict dishes, crepes, waffles, pancakes, and your typical eggs, bacon, hashbrown type breakfast selections. For the person wanting something more like fruit, yogurt, and smoothies, they have a good selection for you. The hashbrowns are not your typical McCain deep-fried potatoes but more of a baked potato type hashbrown. I had my first "bowl" of latte, which is a super large cup of latte that I wasn't able to drink in its entirety. Next time, I will go with just a regular size. The meal was nourishing, and all I ate because it was so filling. Overall, our group was very satisfied with our experience at this restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their selections, which are in the photos below. Parking is free in a shared parking lot. The parking lot is busy. The washrooms were clean. The restaurant is accessible for those with mobility issues and located in a one level strip mall. I will definitely go again!
