Cora's Coffee Shoppe

My wife and i arrived from Australia last night. Love Santa Monica so far. Breakfast at Coras was delicious with a warm and authentic feel. And great coffee ( Lattes)

I haven’t been here in many, many years, but I always liked it. I used to come here on a fairly regular basis when I lived in Santa Monica. They eliminated the inside seating. That was disappointing because you could have a fairly quiet meal. The patio had a couple of families which started to get loud because they’re competing with noise from the street to hear each other. But here’s what threw a wrench into it. Three guys came in and one bald knucklehead proceeds to start making calls on speakerphone. He did this several times. I didn’t tip the waiter because I had to rush out to finish and frankly, I was pretty irritated. They need to implement a "no cell phone calls policy" in the dining area. In addition, they need to put up a wall to deal with the street noise. They could probably put in a glass partition to deal with that or We’re even plexiglass. You know just final Latin contractor to come in and it could be affordable and a lot of these guys are a really great and I’m sure they could find someone. Again, no issue with the service and no issue with the food. If they make some changes to improve the atmosphere, I’d come back.

Cool spot near the pier. Great breakfast and a unique atmosphere. The service was excellent. Compared to most other options near the beach, it offers very good value for money. I had a delicious breakfast and an excellent café latte.

What an absolute gem! This is a perfect lil spot for breakfast. They were able to accommodate my eggs Benedict and make it without meat I had spinach and grilled onions, and it was the best eggs benny I've ever had! The staff was extremely kind and helpful. Definitely a must when visiting Santa Monica. My sister had the burger and swears it's the best burger she's ever had. 🍔

Cora’s Coffee is phenomenal. The service was spectacular and the food even better. I would definitely recommend the everything bagel with smoked salmon, or if you are there on the weekend, the smoked salmon Benedict. The food was fresh, filling and reasonably priced. Also, you need to grab a pastry for dessert. This place was a great experience and I would come back to Santa Monica just to eat here again. Thank you!
