Cora Breakfast And Lunch - Burnaby

Came here with my boyfriend in the early afternoon, so it wasn't too busy. Got waited on by Heather, who was so nice and cheerful! Our food arrived quickly (I cannot recommend the salmon eggs benedict enough! and overall it was a pleasant experience! 5/5!

Although there was a queue, the strawberry waffles were worth the wait! It’s really yummy.The side potatoes were a bit undercooked : otherwise, the food were okay

Cora's is one of the best family-friendly dining experiences around. We've never had a bad experience. Our picky toddler loves the food and fresh fruit. Service is fast and coffee is never far away. We had a server named Cecelia who was so kind and thoughtful. She made sure the hot plates were far enough from our toddler that she wouldn't get hurt. She also interacted with our toddler so well, making her smile every tome she came to the table. And my husband and I love the food as well! It's always delicious and hearty. Great value for a family on a budget who want an occasional treat.Thank you Cecelia and other staff for such a lovely experience Kid-friendliness: They have lids for their cups and high chairs. And a great kids menu.

1. VERDICT VALUE It's alright it's Cora dishes after all, if you like Cora but we were disappointed a little with the service which was surprising. Hopefully it was just this one visit. 2. FOOD Nacho Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Potatoes $18.65 :A crunchy twist on a staple dish; it looks like you only get half a sandwich the way it's presented! But really, they chop the sandwich in half and stack them : . The lack of obvious toppings between halves bring to mind a lack of value especially at this price , but it tastes good.10 Star Omelette $19.75 :Those from Honolulu will recognize this as the Extreme Mess at Sweet E's Cafe : . The way it's cooked presented here makes it look like a pizza accompanied by three slices of tomato and potatoes, along with toast. In the era of cost cutting and reduction of food waste, they do serve the two pieces of toast one slice at a time.Kids Meal: 2 Eggs, Bacon, Potatoes, Chocolate Chip Pancake $10.35 :If only grown ups could order this sometimes, I think it's all I need and it's at a decent price point : . My little guy loved it! 3. SERVICE The wait staff were nice enough, but too many cuts killed the experience here: Upon check in, we were seated outside the restrooms, despite many other open tables in the same server zone. Upon request to move, one server said he needed to confirm the other requested table was clean interestingly, since it was clean and laid out with silverware . Despite a long wait, he never returned, as he ended up organizing menus at the front counter and chatting with other staff. When we asked another server she immediately moved us to another table without effort. Ordering was not an issue, but the food seemed to take a while to get to us despite the restaurant being half full. Despite the promise to bring peanut butter and jam for the single slice of toast, our server never returned. A different server roving to refill our coffee said she could not help us, but would tell our server. Ultimately, we had to resort to leftover unopened condiments from the table next to us, whose patrons kindly offered theirs when they left. We waited so long to get someone to help they were now resetting all empty tables by cleaning and placing silverware that as we approached 1:45 pm closer to their closing time of 2:00 pm , the request for the second slice of toast seemed to be met with exasperation. Of course, the bill came with slice of toast, despite not asking for it, which made us fell we were hustled out of there, despite us wanting and waiting for service multiple times earlier. 4. ENVIRONMENT It's got the typical beige oriented Cora decor, complete with black and white pictures of presumably Cora and her son or sous chef . Wheelchairs and baby strollers could fit, though the corners may be best for such given some of the walkway widths. Parking is in the shopping complex lot usually plentiful.

Food is great and very well displayed ! Coffee amazing! There is a free parking just past the location
