Café Canela

Delicious empanadas! I would recommend

Casual cafeteria for a quick bite before getting on Aligator Alley. Mostly Venezuelan delights. Had the traditional Huevos Perico w/ Arepa & Cafe con Leche. My husband had Pabellion & Cheese empanadas.

Ordered a coffee here wanted to maybe order some food but nothing is in English so I couldn't read anything. The lady at the counter also had a very unapproachable demeanor where I was kind of afraid to ask her anything. Not really so welcoming here which killed the vibe.

5 year UPDATE: Cafe Canela is still an amazing high-quality restaurant! Helpful employees demonstrate their pride and professionalism, ensuring the food and coffee were presented as great as it was 5 years ago. Viva Cafe Canela! I highly recommend Cafe Canela. It never disappoints. Consistent quality and taste, consistent quality customer attention, and consistent cleanliness. The Pabellón, the national dish of Venezuela, has been perfected here. I will suggest the beef to accompany the fluffy white rice, very rich and flavorful black beans and the sweetest plantains around. It can also be put into an empanada if you are in a hurry and do not have the luxury to sit and enjoy the restaurants authentic atmosphere. The price to enjoy this food is far too low for the quality this fine establis

Delicious and fresh sándwichs, but the hot coffee should not be served on foam cups, those are neither heathy nor safe.
