Cafe Canela

Love coming here! Cozy place with very friendly ladies behind the counter. And it's right by the lively outdoor area of the Plaza Mexico. I usually get the mazapan frappe, and sometimes with a cheesecake slice.

Perfectly wrapped burrito and a smooth, velvety latte in a café that just feels right. The burrito... a masterpiece — soft tortilla hugging a flavorful mix of eggs, cheese,turkey and spices that dance together with every bite. The latte, rich and creamy, carries that comforting aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans.

If you're in a hurry, I would strongly recommend not coming here. They did tell us that the food would take 20 to 25 minutes, but it took longer than that. On top of that, they had to check what kind of burrito we ordered after we had been waiting for 20 minutes or so. We probably got our order around 40 minutes after we had ordered. If the food and coffee was great, then it might have been worth it, but the burrito was average and cafe de olla was watery. Maybe we went on an off day, so I hope they can improve on some things.

Went with my wife to check it out and I was pleasantly surprised! Chilaquiles were crispy, made to order, and very yummy. They were not spicy. Service was great and the iced cafe de olla was delicious. 4 stars only because the chilaquiles come with only 1 egg, and a small portion of beans. I was still hungry after! But for $12~ they're not a bad deal. We got the chilaquiles, a breakfast bagel (very good!), a large iced cafe de olla, and an orange/carrot/beet juice for $33. Honestly hard to beat, especially with how expensive everything is now.

Believe the hype about this cafe! This is a great spot to start your morning with friendly service a relaxed atmosphere and amazing offerings. Mall isn't really fully open yet and just at sunrise it is a beautiful and peaceful oasis.I tried a breakfast burrito and an horchata latte and it was the perfect choice. I commuted early to avoid traffic and killed time here before heading to work. I got here right at open and sat in a quiet alcove in the corner. Expect a wait if you are getting hot food but worth it!

Really cute cafe with unique and delicious coffee drinks! There's something for everyone. Fresh juice, savory dishes, and pastries! The staff is amazing and friendly. I love the vibe and atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!

It's like walking into your tias kitchen! Food is made fresh to order. Gets super busy before stores open as a lot of employees from the plaza come get their breakfast and coffee before their shift. Not a lot of room to sit inside but plenty outside. It was cold when we went and got lucky with the table tucked away in the corner.

We stopped here for coffee and dessert, the place is a bit old and needs to be cleaned and dusted, in general the restaurant is cozy, there are only three tables inside but more seating is available outside, but if you stay outside be prepared to smell smoking or weed from people passing by. We ordered Expresso and sweet bread, the coffee was really good and the bread was okay, not really amazing, lots of pictures on the wall from famous people, specially Jeni Rivera, but this area is dirty and definitely should be cleaned. The restroom is clean and lots of free parking is available.

The horchata drink was amazing and their chorizo burrito is the best! I use to come here all the time when I worked at the jail. The women who work there are so nice!

When I asked for a breakfast sausage burrito, I didn't think they would put hot dog sausage in it. I'm disappointed. Also they took half hour to make this & I was the only customer there :/ On a positive note, their white choc mocha iced coffee is good

Customer service is great here. On my 1st visit the coffee was okay but started to get too sweet for my liking after a few sips. Decided to give it another try on my next visit and it just was not it. I do plan on coming back and hopefully give a better review based on the food because everything is literally made to order and looks like your abuelitas cocina. Love the decor but note it is a small place and they do have indoor/outdoor seating but I did not feel no AC going. To be continued....

Venimos cada año a Los Angeles California. Después de unas conferencias venimos a este lugar para tomarnos nuestro atole de cajeta. Buenísimo. Hoy en la mañana estaba recién hecho y era una ricura. Las trabajadoras tienen un servicio al cliente muy bueno. El ambiente también muy bien. El champurrado muy rico y el café de olla riquisimo

Service was friendly it does take a little bit longer than most places. But everything is fresh and delicious ! The decor is also really fun and cute !

Good coffee but the fact I had to wait for two other people who ordered after me to get my order is ridiculous

Stopped by because I really like and support this local gem. Sunday morning around 9:30. Line was long. Service was fairly quick and cashier friendly. I ordered a chorizo burrito . I'm not sure if this is grease or butter or moisture, but. It makes for a messy experience. This has happened before. Last time, they drained the filling before putting into the tortilla. I know Cafe Canela reds these reviews... Can you please drain the filling before putting it in tortilla? Otherwise an overall great experience.

Friendly service. Loved the coffee decor, best churro I've had in so cal all year and the coffee is pretty decent. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area. It's in plaza Mexico, so grab a coffee and get cultured by walking around the place!

I wanted some breakfast while I was visiting LA and found this cute cafe! I got the special #1 and a chorizo burrito. They were perfectly filling and delicious. I spent majority of my time in there reading all of the wall art and looking at their decorations as there's so many! The servers are super sweet and pride on the food being fresh. I definitely recommend for anyone in the area :D

The food and drink were amazing. I got chilaquiles and a cajeta iced coffee. The wait time was not bad at all. They even brought my food to my table outside. The ladies working there were nice. Although, I will say that I asked for my food "for here" and it was still served in a box. Not a big deal because I was alone. However, I did notice a family in front of me sitting down waiting for their food and their food was also served in boxes. Again, not a huge deal to me because I was alone but if I went with family plates would have been nice not sure if they offer plates. All in all, I'd definitely go back.

If you're craving an at home styled breakfast I totally recommend you check this place out

Went on New Year's Day Located in plaza Mexico. Super cute location. The service was fast and easy. Horchata frappe and chorizo con huevo burrito was delish !

Omg the drinks are so darn good especially the hibiscus ice tea and the cafe de olla and with a mollete mmmm love this place

They have unique drinks to offer and they're delicious! My hubs had Atole de Cajeta and I had a Champurrado. The service was okay. I wanted the Atole de Fresa but they didn't have any and when I asked the lady HOW sweet the Atole de Cajeta was she just said "sweet." . The cafe was super cute though. They have a famous visitors wall that was fun to look at too.

I will be coming back for that horchata latte! It was one of a kind. I also ordered a bacon breakfast burrito. It was very fresh and loaded! I was full with just one half of the burrito. The only thing it was missing was salsa. They only had 1 type of salsa which was VERY hot, so if you wanted a slight kick you would be out of luck. Same thing goes for the wifi, they won't give it out. And even if you're a paying customer, you still have to put a quarter in to use the restroom; which I find ridiculous. However, the surrounding area makes up for anything that could be wrong with it. It definitely feels like a piece of Mexico got ripped out and plugged into Lynwood haha

Happy to have found this local gem yesterday after driving around trying to find a Cafe to work in. Enjoyed their Latte and the Champurrado.

Waited 30 min and order and wasn't ready. Wasted my time. Bad customer service . I wouldn't recommend

The best chilaquiles I have had in years. It was so full of flavor with every bite. The tortillas on the side were a nice touch to make a lovely little taco of beans, eggs, and a fried tortilla marinated in delicious sauce. The cafe de olla was the perfect mix of coffee and sweetness and I appreciate that they had an almond milk option! I cannot wait to keep telling people to try this place and taking more people. The staff was also so sweet and made the place feel like home.

Service. Took over 45 minutes to get our breakfast. And it was just a breakfast burrito and a mollete. Thumbs down for speed.

It's ok small place friendly staff! I got a cafe de olla not impressed NOT freshly brewed either! I would not get again I also got a chorizo burrito and it was more like an egg burrito! I don't think I will ever wake up and say I want to go eat to cafe canela! It's a big no for me !

Came for breakfast. First time here, and would definitely recommend. I had the huevos a la mexicana, and She had the chilequilles both came with a side of beans and tortillas. Simple but delicious. They have a large selection of coffees and atoles, So i ordered a small cup of cafe de olla and champurrado. Both were flavorful. It was cold and we had to sit outside because of covid, but they had a outside patio heater which really did help. Overall a simple, yet nice experience

Delicious Coffee! Women Empowerment! Usually busy but definitely worth it! Affordable! Cheese Danish 100000/10

Great prices bomb food Juice was amazing hard working nice people in going back !!! Thank you

Wooow this place I highly recommend customer service woow very nice patient and professional there coffee blends and breakfast delicious I wish we had one here in Vannuys Highly Recommend this place

El atole y el burrito de chorizo riquísimo! Me and my son love going there for a mother son date and it is soo good.

The lady that answers the phone she put me on hold and the she hangup on me with is disrespectful. She said that she had other people in the phone when I was hearing all her conversation with the coworkers.

Muy buen servicio y la comida es muy rica. El ambiente también es bonito y tienen mucho más adentro para explorar.

Buen café de olla. Bonito lugar. Tienen comida y diferentes sabores de café. Si andas por allí, ve. Si vives lejos ve cerca de tu casa que tampoco es para tanto.

Cute little Lynwood spot...Good champurado & the molletes are yummy but the pastries on two occasions were stale. Also, went in once about an hour before closing wanting a mollete but was told kitchen was closed...an hour before closing, I thought this was crappy but I don't run the kitchen‍ . I'll still come back, just earlier. Service is good (other than the mollete incident). Overall, I will say give them a try but ask if the pastries are fresh before ordering one and mind the kitchen hours.

The best café de olla I have had ! The chilaquiles were amazing ! I would definitely recommend!

Cozy vibe. A bit confusing to order but the women were nice and sweet. Drinks were bomb.

El mejor café de olla y los desayunos riquísimos !! Las chicas muy amables , reciben con una sonrisa m.

Worst customer service ever! Sad, food looks good but never coming here again. I hate that in our culture older Mexican women feel the need to be rude to the younger generation. Like they feel threatened or something.

Mexican choc is mainly water with sugar. Little milk & little choco, very light color texture I've had their atoles & champurados too- Nope its just water & starch with sugar. Noflavor, better to make atole from those instant ones at home with milk. Or go just go nextdoor to el Gallo Giro- BOMB champurado.. super flavorful. My new spot in plaza Mexico

It's a truly traditional place where you feel at home and the staff is the greatest very accommodating friendly family feel environment it's wonderful

First time. Got a Champurrado. Delicioso. The staff very friendly and bilingual, it does have a restroom so anyone can use. Would come here again next time I'm in the area!

almost 45 minutes to get my food, many people that arrived after me and had gotten their food within 10 minutes. when i went to ask, they were barely working on it. for two tortas and a moyete

Went in for coffee and desert and was able to get all my family lunch. The coffee was delicious with our churros we got. As our meals we got chilaquiles and huevos mexicanos. The beans were bomb!!! The service was exceptional great. Beautiful establishment very nicely decorated inside and out.i really appreciated that they made my kids there own special lunch.

I've been coming to Cafe Canela for some time now, this review is based on my visits (haven't seen any of the negative reviews here) obviously. The "cafe de olla" is a must try when stopping by here. Tastes just like the ones I've tried when visiting the state of Puebla. The croissants are one of the best I've tasted, and the best part is that it's made from scratch. They have their stove in the back and you can see them making your food. I personally enjoy coming here whenever the chance is given, and it hasn't disappointed at all. Oh, and their customer service is great! Two of their employees already remember who I am.

Really enjoyed my iced vanilla coffee with oat milk! My favorite drink to get when I come here !

BEST PLACE IN THE WORKD everything taste amazing they have champurrado and churros everything u want

Service was terrible showed up. There was three people one was sitting down behind. The counter two were working was told to wait , waited about 15 minutes to actually get some help ordered sat down waited over 45 minutes just to see other people that were showing up after us getting food before us.. when I asked the girl about my order they could not find the order ticket. They looked at each other for about 5 minutes, not knowing what happen I ask for my money back, and they shorten me money they were trying to give me less than what I paid until I told them when she clearly had the receipt in her hand once she found it. They didn't offer anything to try to compensate our wait if they really want to keep our business, they would've tried harder. Was really looking forward to try this place since I was told the food is great but the customer service is horrible. Do not recommend this place at all.

First time here. It's nice and clean with lots to see. I came here for the chilaquiles (I love chilaquiles!) the picture on Instagram look soo good and the color of it look amazing! I ordered them and a juice. Total came up to $14! Yikes! I think it was too much for both things. Beware they don't have any prices on their menu! So there I am, waiting for my chilaquiles, when they arrive the portion was too small! the egg seem that it was only have an egg that they serve me the chilaquiles were too salty and not a great flavor, they only great thing was the beans, well so so. The orange juice was sour as hell, but after a while it tasted better lol Overall, I will not visit this place, it might be popular of their drinks, but food the food it's a no go.

Very nice Cafe. Loves the vanilla atole it was delicious, very friendly service. I definitely recommend people stopping by Cafe Canela and try anything in their menu. The churros are so good.

Staff was so sweet! Definitely coming back y'all need to try the cafe de olla. Fast services. Love coming with my mom here

No Negro Por Favor I went to this cafe today around 5pm. I usually go to Starbucks but wanted to try something different. I pass this place a lot but never went inside so I decided to give it a chance. I walked in and the place wasn't busy so I walked rite up to the register. I was gonna try a horchata cappuccino as the cashier was finishing up with the person in front of me. An older hispanic man walked rite in front of me. So I stepped back and looked at the cashier. I thought she would tell him that I was before him. NOPE she took his order and left my black ass just standing there. I then asked her why would you take his order when you watched him cutt rite in front of me. She said sorry... Uuuum ok so i took her pic for yelp purposes and her co-worker went to get Plaza Mexico security like they gone do sh!t. Top Flight security of the world Craig...gtfoh So if you black/african american dont go here as you will be mistreated with horrible customer service. They don't want black people there.

My first time here and I had to try the Cafe de Olla. It was good and fresh but a little too sweet for my liking. I usually drink black coffee. The service was great and the staff was friendly. The were selling jars of salsa and giving samples. The salsa was delicious and hot with roasted chiles. I bought a jar for $5. I also had to try a caramel filled churro that was made fresh to order. It was nice to sit outside in patio chairs while people watching. Good place to come back to.

Delicious breakfast burritos, however salsa is everything. They gave me a miniature size salsa barely enough for three bites.

One of my favorite breakfast spots. I love the horchata frap and the chilaquiles. I've had the chorizo breakfast burrito and it's good. Kinda oily imo but I think it's more a preference thing than anything else. Also, they have a butter muffin that's great and the cafe de olla is tasty too! The fact that they get busy regularly on the weekends says a lot about what people think of them. Occasionally they can be 5 minutes behind. They're doing their best. I can't complain ‍
