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.

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!

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!

A while we were in Milwaukee, WI, visiting a friend, he recommended going to Canela Cafe for breakfast. The atmosphere on the inside was will lit and full of hungry, happy customers. The host were great and got us seated outside ASAP. They had great breakfast special, along with yummy morning mimosas. I ordered the Strawberry Nutella Crepe, while my husband tried the pancakes and several other delicious looking and tasting dishes. You can tell that the neighborhood in this area has been upgraded a lot in the past several years. It is a really cool spot close to campus. I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing yourself some breakfast. I will definitely be coming back here the next time I am in Milwaukee.
