Devon BNovember 4, 2018The seasonal eggs Benedict had black bean patties, squash and hot pepper hollandaise was delightful. So was the Kentucky slammer burger. Good stroller friendly place to stop before the zoo.
RicardoApril 19, 2018The owner, Mauro and all the staff attended us very well. we loved the dixon Benedict, the omelettes, huevos con chorizo and the french toast. Hope to come back soon.
Ross ParkMay 18, 2013Neighborhood staple for brunch...be prepared to wait a bit but the food is worth it. Patio in spring/summer is soo nice. Avocado chili frittata = tasty
Joanna FlammApril 11, 2014Awesome diner with fresh squeezed OJ and huge portions. The cottage fries are like huge homemade potato chips. Yum!
Anabella MingoAugust 18, 2015Great place to have a great meal. Service was perfect as well as the price-size relation
Patrick BaskinOctober 12, 2015Simply one of the best brunches in Chicago, their seasonal specials are usually the best
Aside from being a great brunch joint, they by far have the best freshly brewed iced tea in Chicago. You tea lovers will appreciate what I'm talking about....and I've tried LOTS of places!
Everything. My favorite is the Farmers Eggs Skillet. Also try any of the seasonal specials. Delicious!
My favorites are the rueben, burger, Cesar wrap, and the omelettes and eggs Benedict for breakfast. All are all fantastic. Huge portions.
Healthy & Filling: Order an egg white omelette (dry) with asparagus or spinach! Grilled tomatoes on the side...
Especially on winter, it's a great place to have breakfast
Lucie SandovaFebruary 23, 2014Denver omelette very delicious. The portion was huge! Really nice people work there ;-)))
Kaitlin AmsberryOctober 6, 2012Great place to meet friends for breakfast, lunch, or even a cup of coffee!! Their bacon is amazing!!!
Cate C.December 17, 2010Standard gluten free breakfast options, eggs, bacon etc. Be warned, you will drool over the special pancakes and French toast you can't have. Huge omelets.
Theo DownsApril 7, 2014Went during off hours service was quick food came fast and turkey club was filling.
- L KNovember 10, 2014BYOB. Consider bringing champagne and getting some fresh orange juice for mimosas.
Stina P.August 3, 2010Top 3 Favorites in all of the city. Wells location is good, but all time quaint spot is Broadway. Order anything.
Cheddar + asparagus omelette - delish. They also have raisin toast and freeeeeesh OJ.
Graham ReevesFebruary 3, 2011one of the few places open the day after the big storm. excellent triple decker turkey club provided lunch and dinner today
markJuly 9, 2018French toast was best thing anyone in our group had. Eggs and related items were ok, though hash browns were sub-par. Service was surprisingly terrible.- Bitches Who BrunchDecember 9, 2015
Hope ArenasFebruary 16, 2013The eggs Benedict was too lemony. I tried to like it, but no go. Hash browns are mediocre too... No cappuccino either. I guess I'm a bit spoiled by my South Loop Waffles. :/ Nookies used to be a fav.
Kate LeeNovember 14, 2011Great for any time of day, any day of the week. Ernesto's chilaquiles are my favorite.
DKH CreativeApril 17, 2011If you like burgers and you like Acapulco, try the Acapulco Burger - it's loaded with fresh avocado.
Kathleen WesleySeptember 5, 2010Love the breakfast here. Don't miss the trio of french toast if you want to try something delish!
No one can pronounce the managers name. It's Greek and starts with an X. Everyone just calls him Bob.
Love the Reubens. Service is even and friendly. Been here (and Nookies Too) more than a dozen or so times.- Ryan EvansDecember 12, 2011Byo champagne and get some of their amazing freshly squeezed oj... You will not be disappointed
Linnea ChamberySeptember 15, 2012Thanks for the fast table, we had hungry kids and got great service!
Nate RednerJuly 19, 2012Don't get the Jalisco Wrap unless you like marinara sauce on your breakfast burrito
Don't get the hangover helper, no meat. Huevos rancheros is bomb!

"My 2nd time at Kanela. First time, I had the chorizo dish and didn't think much of it. Today, Kanela showed promise with their delicious spicy feta omelet and house made chicken sausage."
