As you can see, the latte was not well foamed, it looked no different from the cappuccino we ordered, although the taste was ok

This place is so good we went three days straight to try different things. Tvis time was the chicken sandwich which was crispy and juicy. Flavors ok point with pickles and dressing in a nice brioche bun. Unless your main dish comes with bacon, then always order their side of bacon, it's amazing!! About the best bacon slices I have had.

Today we had one of the best breakfasts of our lives!!! My wife and I had the Crab Cake Benedict and the Red Velvet French Toast which were both ridiculously delicious. The food was truly amazing but our server Graciela was even better. Verónica, the manager was running a smooth operation. All and all, it was a delightful experience. We will definitely be back. I strongly recommend!!!!

Amazing food! I ordered delivery to my hospital and the truth is that the food was delicious. The app works wonderfully, super easy to order, the dishes on the menu are amazing, and the food arrived in a few minutes, just in time. The chicken sandwich was delicious, full of flavour, juicy and crunchy, the potatoes aromatic and very tasty. My coworkers just asked me from I got my lunch because it looked amazing. Definitely recommended 👌🏻

I Googled a place close to the hotel and Kanelas came up. It was my first time here but definitely not my last. The food was great, the service was great, as Nicholas did a great job of going through some favorites, and the overall experience was great.

Kanela Breakfast Place is in a prime location in Chicago, and I must say it is one of the best breakfast spots I have tried in the city. The food was fresh, tasty, and well presented. The service was amazing very friendly and fast. For the quality of food and service, the price was very reasonable. I would give it a solid 10/10. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast in Chicago.
