Cute restaurant, super friendly staff and delicious food. You can tell they care about the quality of the ingredients they use. While I was there it looked like some of their regulars were also there and they seemed to have a good relationship with the staff. Definitely worth it.

What a great find! Food is excellent, well made and varied. Great breakfast spot. Highly recommend the Turkish breakfast. We lived in SM for 10 years and never knew about this place. Took us coming back for a quick visit to finally discover this gem.

The poached eggs and French toast was amazing and cooked perfectly! Just grabbed coffee to go and a sandwich, which was amazing. We went back the next day and decided to sit and stay for breakfas. Food was amazing, atmosphere was so calming and a perfect way to start the day. The staff is so nice and accommodating. This is going to be a stop for me anytime I am in town for sure from now on.

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!

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. 🍔
