Cora Italian Specialties

At Cora, our family has been a reliable source in café equipment and supplies since 1960 when Peter Cora opened the doors to the first coffee house in Chicago. It wasn't long until people would come to know Peter as the coffee connoisseur and he would advise them on their coffee inspired endeavors for years to come. Today, on the third generation, the Cora family has expanded our offerings beyond the great Italian tradition of coffee and into the world of gelato, pasta, pizza and more! Our client base includes cafés, gelaterias, restaurants, world-renowned chefs, caterers, hospitality centers, home users and more. With over eleven hundred items in our 15,000 square foot warehouse, we can be sure to satisfy a wide range of needs.
