"Enjoyed our brunch at Canela Cafe! We enjoyed the Oreo Pancakes, cinnamon crunch French toast, and a breakfast potato bowl. The food did take some time to come out due to how busy the space was, and we did feel rushed while attempting to enjoy our food by our server. However, other than that, the food was absolutely delicious and we would for sure eat here again!"

"Second time here. The place is tucked among several other businesses and restaurants. There are several patio tables out front. The front is all glass, which brings in plenty of natural light. Once inside, you are greeted at the hostess desk, and there are a couple of different seating areas. The design is fresh, modern, and clean. We got a booth and were immediately greeted by our server. We ordered our drinks (latte and hot tea) and then quickly followed up with our food: Very Berry French Toast and Avocado Toast (with poached eggs). It didn’t take long for the food to arrive. Everything was the right temperature, very flavorful, well presented, and good portions. The French toast had excellent textures (coated with Cinnamon Toast Crunch), and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. I also liked the feta cheese on the avocado. We received great service the entire time, with the small exception that I had to remind my server for more hot water. Definitely a place I would return to."

"Had an awesome breakfast here! Our waitress Lima was super friendly and made us feel right at home. I had the Shakshuka—so good! Rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. My partner had the California crepes, which were fresh and light but still really satisfying. Everything tasted amazing, and the vibe was super relaxed. We’ll definitely be coming back—hopefully with Lima as our waitress again!"

"Coffee was great, corned beef has was fantastic, friendly staff… will for sure be back. And so glad to see a restaurant not adding on a service fee for using a card. They understand it’s a cost of doing business. I paid for it in the cost of the food, just like the condiments on the table and the ketchup in back they paid for that I never used."

"Ideal location compared to the beach, UWM and Shorewood. Super busy peak time caused longer wait from kitchen, but food came hot and delicious. Crepes were thick and perfect. Poached eggs expertly prepared. Enormous portions for the price. Booths sized for 6-8 people."
