| - After being open for about a week I decided to check out the new breakfast spot in north Whitby... Cora's.
Cora is quite a pretty and comfy spot, with a mix of booths and tables and a nice decor which was spotlessly clean.
The menu is quite varied with a wide variety of omelets, pancakes, waffles and traditional egg and bacon breakfast, however my initial impression was ohh, this looks interesting and tasty, then directly to Wow... Expensive...
Food cost, rent, labour etc are up for all restaurants and I respect the challenges they face, however $10.15 for 3 blueberry waffles (+ beverage) seems high too me and most every breakfast entree was over $10 with coffee extra. Not a good first impression and while it maybe the reality of food costs today, I question the logic of crossing the $10 barrier to greet new customers and a town. (but I also found out this is not up to the franchise owners and comes from head office)
My order was sausage and eggs over easy which arrived with two eggs, two sausages, rye toast and real home fries.
Impressions: coffee took 2 creams to reach a drinkable level and I saw it was Mother Parkers which some like, but not me. The plate looked good at first glance however Sausage was not browned /cooked and I chose not to eat it, which was in contrast to the homefries which were burnt and black in spots and had no seasoning (I left these too) . Eggs were cooked perfectly and toast a very nice rye with a nice selection of jams.
While I was looking/picking suspiciously at my 2 sausages and the home fries, the server immediately asked if there was an issue and I said they did not seem cooked properly to me and she immediately offered to get new ones, however I said it was ok and that I would prefer not to.
Summary:
Atmosphere: 9/10
Food: 7/10 (my problems were hiccups as other people seemed happy)
Value: 5/10 (sorry...there are much better deals in town)
Service: 10/10 - Especially as the owner made a point of coming over to check on my meal and didnt charge me for it which was fair as I could only eat half of it (FYI I did not ask for this, she offered to do it and I thanked her and shared this review and wished them well)
Overall I would go back and give it another chance due to the excellent service I received and I will try to be more forgiving on the prices. I am also curiuos to see what they offer for lunch)
