Canela Cafe
2621 N Downer Ave, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“Canela Cafe draws a loyal crowd to its bright, glass-fronted space in Milwaukee with generous breakfast plates that go beyond the basics—think breakfast burritos, breakfast burgers, and cinnamon crunch French toast alongside reliably great coffee. The welcoming patio seating and friendly staff create an easy spot to linger over brunch or grab a quick coffee, with the bonus of honest pricing that skips unnecessary card fees. It's the kind of neighborhood cafe where people come back specifically for the food quality and genuine hospitality, not just caffeine.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

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…
