“ Warmest people and most amazing customer service. The fact that I’ve been here just a few times, Noly knows me and my drink better than I do. Love the service that remembers their customers. Try the Dirty Chai Latte, you won’t be disappointed. ”
“ Very atmospheric and friendly cafe! This place seems super new, and I've started stopping by after my classes at NJIT since it's nearby and opens early enough. The baristas/workers have great customer service and are very kind and welcoming! The space is quite small as there's only 4-5 tables, but considering the location, it's good for grab-n-go customers. The food I've had so far are the blueberry danish, almond croissants, and the classic sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and it's great that the pastries are toasted/hot when they serve it. The drink selection is amazing, and the drinks I've had so far are the best in the area! The drinks seem pretty consistent-tasting too! This place is my new favorite breakfast spot near campus and I'll be showing all of my friends this place ”
“ I didn’t get any food but I did get an iced caramel latte and a cup of fruit. The coffee was good however, I would request less of the caramel drizzle and 2 shots of espresso instead of 3 for a large cup. However, this is a personal opinion since I don’t really like coffee and I also don’t like too much sugar. Overall the fruit was fresh and the coffee was delicious. The price was okay. For both items using a card, I spent 10.43. I spent almost my entire day here. 11 am-4 pm and worked the entire time. The aesthetic was nice. The atmosphere was also pretty cool. Very calm and collected. The music wasn’t too loud and the playlist was to my liking. The staff were also very welcoming and very communicative. I would recommend this cafe. Definitely. ”

“ What a cozy, welcoming place. Had a simple avocado toast and drip coffee and that really started my day right! The only 2 staff behind the counter were super efficient and genuinely friendly. Gets busy from 11am. ”
“ If you’re looking for a charming and cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee or tea with a delicious breakfast, Kanela is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it an ideal place to relax or catch up with friends. ”
“ I love this place!! Kanela is a great little cafe with an awesome vibe. The staff here are super friendly and really know how to make you feel welcome. Clean space, comfortable seating, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually hear yourself think and catch up with friends. So far i have enjoyed everything on the menu, but i really love their spinach pies. Perfectly baked, great flavor, not too heavy. Paired with a solid matcha, its a nice little brunch to start the day. Service is quick, prices are fair, and it’s the kind of place you’ll want to become a regular at. Staff is welcoming and attentive. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a reliable cafe with great food and a chill environment. ”
