on Citysearch Aug 29, 2009The wait was long, the service was so-so and the food was nothing spectacular. All that said, I liked the place. The menu was original. It has character and I really dug the outdoor patio seating. In their defense it was... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 26, 2009The food was just ok, but the SERVICE WAS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST service I've ever had in a restaurant. We were 2 couples plus a baby. We wrote our name on the sign-in list at 11:50am on Saturday, June 27, and waited over an... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 05, 2008A friend wanted to try Cora's, so we went for a late breakfast. Unfortunately, the wait for a table was so long that we wanted lunch by the time we sat down, but I was grateful once I got my meal. The breakfast options... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 01, 2007Though this little spot is darling, and in a great location, we found the service to be severely lacking, and the food utterly forgettable. We were seated promptly, however, we sat there, ignored, for 20 solid... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2007Cute and charming spot in SM - try to grab a seat on the outdoor patio, because it's more cramped inside the cafe. Come early for a weekend breakfast, because there can be a wait for tables. Yes, the place is very small,... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 07, 2006I think Cora's is adorable. Yes the tables are low and the patio is small but it has charm. I love sitting outside drinking coffee and sharing pancakes. The latte's are delish and the orange and blueberry pancakes are... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 31, 2006Cora's always has ridiculously long lines, for mediocre food. Just don't get it. I'd rather be at Fig Tree or Bread & Porridge. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2006I've had just about every item on the Cora's menu - and have been very pleased every time. The omelet is outstanding, I dont know where they get there tomatoes but they are extremely good. The rigatoni w/ meat sauce is... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 02, 2006After reading some reviews I thought I would give Cora's a try. I was extremely disappointed. I thought the space was quaint-a nice patio. BUT- The unfriendly service, the uncomfortable chairs and a menu that... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 21, 2005Stopped in here for a coffee to go while on a walk along the beach. Was shocked to learn, once we were rung up, that the coffee (in a paper cup) was $2.75 a cup! It didn't taste like gold! No wonder they can afford the rent.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2005i love Cora's on a sunny day, i don't love Cora's on a rainy day because there are only two tables for two and a small bar to sit at... and it gets a little crowded. But when its sunny, you are getting fantastic fare, at a... (more)

on Citysearch May 26, 2004<b>The Scene</b><br>Open since the 1920s, this old-school diner has been retooled for the avant-garde brunch crowd. On the sunny street-side patio, locals linger over "organic-when-possible" fare, while... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 29, 2003I decided to eat here spur of the moment one Saturday morning, and ended up being disappointed. The service & staff was friendly & attentive, however the food, was another story. I ordered the "famous" orange... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 04, 2003The friendly staff and cozy environment makes up for the mediocre and a bit pricey brunch. The best part of this place is that they will refill your illy coffee up to the brim and even give you a to-go cup if you're nice.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 10, 2002I'm always glad to find a new spot for beach-side breakfast but Cora's is more cutesy than quality. The menu suggests fresh flavor with imported meats, cheeses and fresh herbs but falls short after leaving the... (more)
