The lovely wrap-around patio suits the plates coming out of the kitchen, like a Wagyu steak and eggs plate, artichoke tarragon omelette , vegetable frittata , and blueberry buckwheat pancakes . Read more

Derek Fromson

Nice outdoor patio near the beach . Good drip coffee . Healthy breakfast options . Try egg white , feta , arugula omelette (can sub cheese ), veggie frittata , burrata caprese omelette , or huevos rancheros .

Ricky Sherrill

Great food & good place for breakfast meeting. The Buckwheat Blueberry pancakes are a must try. Get there early because it gets crowded & they do not take reservations .

Jean-Yves Martineau

Great atmosphere and great food was well worth the wait - staff was happy to to bring coffee on the sidewalk while we waited.

Despite the upscaled prices, there’s still something homey and downright satisfying about Bruce Marder’s own Cora’s Coffee Shoppe on Ocean Avenue. Don’t skip on the pancakes . Read more

Kelly Weaver

The Caprese Omelet was good and breakfast sandwich was huge. Would never order the potato again…0 for 2 on that one. Coffee was great, carry-out was efficient. Dine-in was extremely slow.

Sara S

Lovely frittata & salad , and a very fluffy orange blueberry pancake . Despite being right on the street, the patio is pleasant.

Jackie Say No

Cappuccino was regular coffee with foam... no richness from coffee as you get from espresso . Buckwheat pancakes are huge and yummy. Service is great!

Patrick Helm

Had a wonderful omelette of the day and coffee . Fast service . Tasty food and drink. Wonderful.

Egg white frittata is to die for .. Best breakfast spot in Santa Monica ..

James Kiernan

Christina Christodoulou

The Breakfast Burrito was top notch! Went back for Buttermilk Pancakes and they did not disappoint. Portions are big!

Shn Juay

Burrata Caprese Omelette is THE BOMB! Best I’ve ever tasted

Angela Webb

Go early and don't bring a large group and perhaps your wait won't be too long. But it's worth it. I've had the orange pancakes (more cakey than flapjacky) and the lamb ragu . Great place!

Marysia Reeves

This is hands down the best breakfast place! Burratta omelette is to die for. Friendly staff , always a wait but it goes fast. Love it here!

Christine Cassidy

Take a look at the specials and get there early for a table.

Jon Sanchez

parking can be difficult and there is usually a line , but the food and ambiance in the back is really nice.

Fatma Genc

Laarnee

Cluttered menu. You need a strong visual scanning skills and attention to detail to decide on a dish. Otherwise, just ask your server????

Jennifer J

Some of the best brunches I've ever had have been at this charming yet unassuming location. Delicious orange pancakes , cappuccinos , omelettes , polenta & italian sausage ... I'm salivating already.

Mia Mabanta

Veggie frittata . Comes with a wonderful assortment of things. Favorite breakfast .

Swen Graham

The huevos rancheros insanely awesome ????????????

Motaz

Cozy atmosphere you feel like in Europe

Liliana Villanueva

Favorite place to eat in Santa Monica so far! the breakfast specials are always amazing!

Arnaud Réauté

Great terrace and large choice of breakfasts and mixes of Mexican and Italian cuisine .

Matthew Caenahan

Huevos rancheros and excellent espresso drinks make Cora's my favorite post-surfing breakfast joint...but you don't have to freeze in the polluted waters of our bay to groove on this A+ breakfast .

P.J. Palmer

Go to Cora's; sit inside at the counter with an LA TIMES, and order the Burrata Caprese Omelette . And be sure to ask for the homemade Jams . Also outstanding: Orange Pancakes :)

Jason H.

Much more pleasant to sit outside. Wait for a table. Food is good but on the expensive side for breakfast . Tourist prices.

Derek Jones

The name is a misnomer. The coffee selection is poor. Breakfast and bakery items are the real items of expertise.

Janette Rizk

All the dishes look amazing and service is excellent. The bruschetta with soft eggs is to die for! Well worth the wait for a table.

Melody Faith Clark

Great food. Just sometimes the waiters are smarmy. And God forbid don't stray even a few feet from the waiting list. They anemically call names, they hardly try. & then cross the name off. They won't

Cassel Kroll

Try the Brioche With Fresh Orange Marmalade - Sublime.

Caroline Ritter

Cute cafe side as well as a sit down counter/ take-away side.

Ashley Lane-Roberts

Both a vegetarian and mear-eater agree, this place has the best veggie burger EVER!

Mrs Tvoretskiy

The breakfast is just ok.. if there is a choice, I would suggest another place to go

Kevin Hart

B-e-a-utiful outdoor seating under plants n vines n shit. Doesn't make up for the uncomfortable-ass chairs though. 3/5 stars.

Jane Gamblin

Really really liked this place. Great food, excellent service.

Smoked salmon with eggs Benedict ????

Jordan Ender

Vegetable frittatas and orange pancakes with blueberries are the way to go. Make sure to ask for the jams too.

Los

The Burrata Caprese Omelette is amazing.

Zac Neulieb

The burrata capresse omelette and fresh lemonade is where it's at.

Dick Middelweerd

Great place for breakfirst.

Berkay Daver

Huevos rancheros is bad. Eggs are swimming in a bean salsa mixture.

Clare

The burrata cream cheese is wonderful
