Kanela

Contemporary

Welcome to Kanela Breakfast Club! Lakeview's newest Breakfast spot that you don't want to miss out on! "Kanela" is the Greek word for cinnamon, which you'll find plentiful on the menu at this Lakeview breakfast and lunch spot. Deep earth tones, wrap-around seating and eye-pleasing geometric wallpaper are found throughout the space, creating a mellow vibe for a mellow breakfast or brunch. On the menu, you'll find local, organic and seasonal items such as portobello mushroom Benedict or bacon waffles with bourbon caramel. They also have lunchier sandwich options, from tuna salad w/ Sriracha aioli and giardiniera, to duck breast slathered with creamy horseradish/onion confit/creme de cassis, to a lamb burger with tzaziki, kalamatas, and whipped feta, which was kind of predictable given how easily it crumbles.Julius Meinl coffee and tea is served alongside fresh-baked pastries and homemade soups. It's BYOB for now, but once a liquor license is granted, you can plan on sipping some refreshing breakfast bevvies. Hope to see you soon at Kanela Breakfast Club!

This is the third time I have tried Kanela. We were the only people at the restaurant that ordered food and we waited over thirty minutes for two salads. Never going back. We gave them three chances... Every time has been disappointing :(

I had to asked for cream & a spoon from somebody else. Finally someone came over to say that he was our server. Placed my food order with a different server than the one that introduced himself.

We were sat right next to the server station and could see into the kitchen, so definitely not the best seats in the house. The food was good overall. Except my smoothie was room temperature and the roasted potatoes were definitely over-seasoned. My friend loved his blueberry pancakes and the people next to us got French toast, which looked very good.

It would be nice if the menu was a little more informative. For example chocolate lovers, etc. The meal I had was good, but was very chocolatey and wouldn't have ordered it if I knew it was that sugary. It was more like a dessert than a breakfast choice. It was very good, but very sweet. It would've been nice if the juice drinks had refills.
