Cora - Langley City

I live in the West End and a very short walk from this amazing little place which has proven to be very dangerous for my caloric intake hahaha. It's super close to shops, which makes it a convenient place for tourists and locals alike to take a well needed reprieve.

Cora is kids friendly place for breakfast/lunch. Their menu is very exhaustive, lots of healthy options, and pictures to go with everything making it very hard to make up your mind.<br/ <br/ They are famous for their fresh fruit and clever takes on breakfast standards. They served a great selection of breakfast choices, including combinations of sweet and savoury on one plate. <br/ <br/ The staff is attentive and friendly. Parking is easy. <br/ <br/ Overall, this is a healthy alternative to the usual run of breakfast spots. We recommend this place if you are in the area!<br/

Had breakfast here this morning and it wasn't bad. The service was friendly and casual with the feel of a country diner. The potatoes were a bit overdone on some but really enjoyed their breakfast crepe burrito. The coffee was also really tasty, on par with Tim Horton's.

What do I say about Cora? She opened her little restaurant in Quebec about 25 years ago and locations seem to be popping up all over the place. Setting is open and basic, feeling like your typical chain breakie joint. I think the feeling is meant to be your friendly, reliable neighbourhood diner offering the standard breakfast/lunch fare. The big draw is the fresh fruit. I have to admit it's a treat to have fresh strawberries and watermelon mid-January. And I like how the menu has pictures! I personally think it's pricey for what you get when I can't help but compare to local joints back home. They do strive to offer efficient service. And it's almost always busy. With only a few good options in Langley (Porter's, Hot&Toasty), this is a reliable choice for simple diner-style breakie/lunch (and much better than any of those American chains).

Love the walls adorned with colorful graphic food images and the service. We went in for breakfast and were not disappointed. I had the veggie grilled cheese omelette without the bacon which was supposed to be a sandwich by I requested the bread to come on the side and the gigs to be given separately as an omelette. They gladly obliged and this came with a side of roasted potatoes. The brown bread was thick and delicious when topped with their whipped butter. The pancakes were simple and amazing with their maple syrup. I did wish for some whipped cream and strawberries but I'm sure you could order for those separately. Overall stays true to its Canadian name.
