Cora's Coffee Shoppe is a hidden gem in Santa Monica, with a cozy, ivy-clad patio serving up delicious farm-to-table breakfasts and lunches just steps from the beach.
"Hidden in a nest of bougainvillea vines right by the beach, is a tasty little spot for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Nearly every ingredient used is sourced from Santa Monica’s Farmers Market and is “Organic When Possible”. The varied, yummy menu serves items like chorizo scramble, artichoke omelettes, short rib tacos, chicken burgers and BLT’s with goat cheese. Go during the week to avoid the Ocean Ave hotel crowd, unless, of course, you’re one of them." - TRÜF
"With its green ivy-covered patio, Cora’s feels like a little secret garden, but that’s also because it’s kind of a secret in general. Tourists somehow haven’t gotten to this cafe on Ocean in Santa Monica yet, so there’s never a wait to get inside. The food is what you’d expect from a fancy boutique hotel on a beach: bruschetta poached eggs, Turkish style breakfasts, and bagels that come with burrata instead of cream cheese. But you’re here for the best huevos rancheros on the Westside. The eggs come in a perfect puddle of beans and ranchera salsa that we would be perfectly happy eating on its own like soup.
