Welcome to Kanela Breakfast Club- Andersonville
The Greek word for 'Cinnamon', Kanela is synonymous with Chicago's best breakfast. We bring a local, organic twist to classic American breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Visit us at one of our four Chicago locations: 1408 N Milwaukee Ave, 502 E Illinois St, 1549 N Wells St, or 5413 N Clark St. We'll show you how to do breakfast the right way!
