Cora's@Waterloo Town Square Sucks
I frequent the Cora's on Ottawa in Kitchener and it is fantastic except I can't stand in a long line outside in the cold. Today I went to the uptown Waterloo To have breakfast at Cora's and I have nothing good to say at all. The wait times for seating and service were extraordinarily, unacceptably long. The food was served cold and the portions were a fraction of the size of the Ottawa location. I paid 18 bucks to get 3 little pancakes served cold with a sneer. I swear there wan't a single smile in the entire place. The whole breakfast from the moment I stepped into line to the moment I finally paid my bill was almost 2 hours of torture. This is the worst restaurant experience I have ever had in KW. Never go here!!

Cora's sucks anywhere!! Please check out any of the following breakfast places, no specific order.
Jack's Family Restaurant in St Jacobs
Benny's in Waterloo
Rise and Shine in Waterloo
Country Boy in Kitchener
Daily Grill in Waterloo
Symposium Uptown Waterloo
Every couple of years I give Symposium another chance, and it always lets me down.
The food is good. The drinks are great. Being ready to order lunch before you get your food from breakfast makes the quality irrelevant.
Maybe I enjoy it because they are open late and still serve breakfast anytime, but it was last on my list for a reason ;)
so... there was a specific order, then?
I think they have to be open late with their nauseatingly slow service.... trendy hipsters with little else to do don't mind waiting a day and a half for a cup of coffee.
I have only been there once and I went with my girlfriend. It took a hostess about 5 minutes to seat us even though this was like 8 or 9pm and the place was not busy. Then we were seated and it took forever for someone to take our order... which just was two drinks and a slice of cake to share... which in all honesty took at least 45 minutes to show up even after bugging a waiter about it. I would never go back there again...
Country boys history is a bit too spotty for me, everything else there is fine
didn't they get "mission imposible'd" recently
Elaborate?
they've been cited a few times by the health department for taking uneaten food off a customer's plate and putting on another customer's plate instead of throwing it out.
Wow that is incredibly sketchy. I actually ate there the other day and now I'm regretting my decision.
Grew up in Kitchener and never heard anything bad about it
Omg the daily grill is awesome! Everytome i go there im so happy with the food and the price!
It is currently closed because of the parkdale fire, but I would say that Homestyle Diners spanks all these in terms of good for value. Jacks is good but if it's a market day I hope you don't mind being treated like 1 of 10 thousand people to order breakfast that day.
Homestyle Diner re-opened today, and I'm sure they'd appreciate the support after being closed for nearly 2 months.
Really? I will definitely be hitting that up for breakfast soon.
If you go to symposium, get the french toast!
Rise and Shine is closed :( Best bagels I ever had.
I think they're referring to Rise and Shine on Bridge St north of University in the plaza with the Shell station, and not Rise & Shine Bagels which was on Bridgeport. The former is pretty tasty and friendly, but a tad pricy for some items. Also if proper apostrophe usage is more important to you than a tasty breakfast, then maybe stay away from their menu.
I've heard Rise and Shine has changed, I haven't been in a few years but friends told me it really isn't the same as 4-5 years ago. They had the best 'big' breakfast I recall... it was delicious!
+1 for Jack's! Never a bad experience.
