Cora's holds a soft spot in my heart - I have such memories of popping up here the morning after a cast party or a load-in during my university theatre days. I always liked that I felt like I was doing something a little bit healthier for myself than just downing Denny's.
Now, I don't know if my standards have just gone up a tidge since I entered the working world and thereby decided I could afford the slightly more pricey brunch fare of Diner Deluxe, Blue Star Diner, et al but my last visit to Cora's was just okay. We picked the location because my friend was working at 1:00 at Market Mall and hitting up Northland meant she wouldn't have to rush off to work.
The food was fresh as always and my fruit was adorably plated, but I had a hard time finding anything I really WANTED on the menu. The girl serving us was very friendly but all the timing was a little bit off - I arrived about 10-15 minutes before my friend and grabbed a table, but the server didn't come over or check in until my friend joined me. I guess not a big deal - but it would have been nice to enjoy a coffee while I was waiting!
I probably wouldn't wait in the massive Saturday/Sunday morning lineup that tends to acrue, but I'll still keep Cora's on my list for when I want to amp it up from Denny's a wee bit. Maybe after my next cast party?
