About this place Kanela Breakfast Club

Kanela Breakfast Club is a breakfast and lunch restaurant on North Wells Street in Old Town, part of a small Chicago chain. It is a mainstream spot listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. The menu is standard brunch with a Greek streak, so expect things like loukoumades and feta alongside eggs and pancakes. The room has exposed brick and chandeliers. It opens daily from 8am to 3pm, and weekend late mornings bring waits, so arrive early. Old Town's Second City comedy club and Lincoln Park are close by. Rated 4.1 from about 1,300 Google reviews.

We had strawberry orange mimosas that were amazing, as well as a house made bagel with fresh chive cream cheese which was PHENOMENAL and my mom said her fried egg sandwich was the best she’d ever had!! And that’s saying something. GREAT experience!!

The menu is bold, portions are good, but flavors fall short. No simple offerings on this menu like just eggs & bacon or just traditional, French Toast, Eggs Benedict, etc. Everything has a twist but not all in a good way. Not the cleanest dining area, the windows are LONG past their Spring cleaning creating a dingy feeling, service is on the slower side (which is okay for some). No kids menu offered.

Food was great, would come back. Beverages were terrible. My french press coffee tasted like Nescafé.

I walked in and ordered a matcha latte. It tastes like water and a little bit of milk. Slight taste of matcha, not sweetness and no coffee or whatsoever. I don’t know why it is called a matcha latte? ? And it’s $7 +
