I recently had a wonderful brunch at Canela Cafe. The variety of breakfast and lunch options was impressive. We tried the Power Omelet and the monthly omelet, both of which were fantastic. You can even upgrade your side to one of their specialty pancake items! The staff was very friendly, and the service was excellent--we were in and out in about 45 minutes. They had a lot of seating so great place for a large party. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast or brunch.

Food is typically excellent! Service depends on how busy they get. Unless you get the cheerful blonde braided girl. She's awesome! Bring your appetite! It's a lot of food. Today I had the three amigos and a couple of mimosas. BOGO on Tuesday and Thursday! Try them out. You won't be disappointed.

This is the place to go for quality, variety and service. Located just past the lower east side by the lake shore, Canela Cafe is a great brunch/breakfast spot.They have a very capable staff and extensive menu. Inside of the restaurant is very spacious and can accommodate large groups. It does get very busy past 10am on weekends so just be prepared to wait or skip the line by calling ahead!

Canela Cafe is great little breakfast spot. The Blueberry Waffle was light and fluffy and packed with fresh blueberries! The orange juice (not pictured) had to be freshly squeezed -- it was just too good to come from a carton. The coffee came from Stone Creek and it was really good and Athena's Mediterranean Omelet was absolutely huge and yummy with tons of feta, according to my partner. The restaurant gives off stereotypical millennial brunch place vibes, but not egregiously so. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, and my party of two was seated promptly around 9 a.m. on a Saturday. The service was spectacular. Jodie did a great job! If I could, I would only give Canela Cafe 4.5 stars simply because of the price. My waffle was $14 with no sides. Knock that down to $10 OR chuck in a side of fruit or bacon or something and I wouldn't be complaining. You'll get the best value if you order an omelet. It comes with fruit or breakfast potatoes AND toast or pancakes all in the ballpark of $16. Don't waste your money on an overpriced waffle, go with the omelet to get more food. In total, my party of two spent about $50 (including tip). If I'm on this side of town again, I'd definitely eat here a second time.

Overall experience here was very meh. Came here on a Saturday for a later breakfast and no one who worked here gave much of any friendly vibes nor did it seem like they wanted to be there. Our server Gisella wasn't very charismatic and didn't show much emotion or excitement. Again, overall just meh vibes.The food took forever to come out - like legit it felt like an eternity and mind you, I am a very patient person and used to work at a restaurant during breakfast hours so I understand the kitchen gets backed up sometimes, but this was insane. My Big Boss breakfast burrito was good however. I think everyone enjoyed their overall. With there being other good breakfast options nearby and around Milwaukee, I don't see myself needing to return right away.

Not going to lie, I miss the Original Pancake House, I really do. Thankfully, Canela has kept the same layout and painted it in a pleasing blue color scheme. But since it is the old layout, it can get quite noisy in there (my only complaint about OPH).The menu is mostly breakfast/brunch items with a sandwich section. Prices are decent ranging from $10 for a grilled cheese to $18 for corned beef hash or chicken and waffle. I had the grilled cheese (it was after noon!) and it came with a side of breakfast fries so that really made it a good deal.They do serve some alcoholic bevvies, mimosas and margaritas mostly.The service wasn't bad, but it was slooooooooooooooooow. I'm not talking the food coming out, I'm talking about the actual speed with which the servers moved. Something to consider if you're on a time crunch (I was not but I still noticed).

Food was bangin dirty style swag type. I ordered the Banging Breakfast Burger, probably rate that sucker a cool 9/10. Listen, iI've eaten many a burger before. It is rare that a burger makes me really reflect on all burgers prior, but listen, this burger made me sad that I have never experienced something quite this delectable before. The chipotle chicken wrap was also busting hard, very very good also a fat 9/10. Smoothie was mid, but would bust it down here again.*After Eating*The food was so good, I got a little distracted and took a bite out of the plate.

Very vibrant breakfast/brunch place. Big fan of the truss design, but the floor shakes whenever someone walks by. Good food quality and quantity.

Made a quick stop at Canela Cafe right before the road trip back to Chicago. This place was packed. There was a family who decided to eat outside in 45 degree weather just to skip the wait. The service was decent. Everyone was nice but it took a little while for our server to greet us and bring our drinks. I assume because they were swamped with so many tables. The food ok. My bf and I got the herbivore bowls with an addition of guacamole. While everything taste fresh, it just didn't taste seasoned. We also got a fruit bowl and I was happy with the assortment of fruits provided. The decor is nice. They had some cool LED brunch signs and a small patio right outside the window. If we were able to give half stars I would give a 3.5. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great either.
