OK, relax people. Seeing as Cora's is new to the West, I understand the excitement, but you will soon learn Cora's is good-- not great.
Cora's originated in Quebec and has a lot of locations throughout La Belle Province and Eastern Ontario. I'm from the East and have eaten at Cora's many times. Now that there is a Calgary location I had to try it and I can inform you nit much has changed.
The upside to Cora's is the abundance of fruit, crepes, smoothies and other healthy options on the menu. It truly is packed full of fresh items.
Another plus is the different bread options and the family style way the bread/toast is served.
Where the restaurant falls short are the basics-- they tend to be bland. The bacon, the bologna, the sausages, all the meats lack flavour and seasoning. This has always been the case. I find the same with their omelettes-- they are slightly disappointing.
Beyond that, Cora's has the semi-retro farm motif in all it's establishments.
The Calgary location is still working out the kinks in the service area, but it will soon be a good breakfast/brunch destination in downtown Calgary.
