The café was clean, and the staff were very friendly. We ordered the shaken brown sugar banana cloud and the horchata frappe. The shaken brown sugar banana cloud had a pretty strong coffee flavor. I didn't really taste much banana. I didn't really enjoy the drink and wouldn't recommend ordering it. I enjoyed the horchata frappe more. It was refreshing and had a nice flavor. I was also told to try the horchata latte next time, and I think I'd enjoy that more! If I visit again, I'll definitely be giving the horchata latte a try.
Canela Cafe was one of the first places I tried in Santa Maria! I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the drinks and food were. Food portions were generous! My husband had the torta and he said it was one of the best he's had! Service was very pleasant and the barista were very friendly. They gave us excellent recommendations and seem to truly care about customer satisfaction. The space is a bit on the smaller side and more suited for grab and go, but definitely comfortable if you decide to dine in.
I really enjoyed my experience! I had been wanting to visit Canela Café for a long time. I live in Ventura County, so def not close to me. I was driving through the area and we decided to stop. There is a charging station across the street , my friend's car needed charging as we were on a road trip . It was meant to be ! I ordered a club sandwich a Cortado, a strawberry Matcha and a white mocha . All great ! No complaints. My only suggestion would be that the sandwiches come with a Serrano or maybe jalapeño en vinagre . I am Mexican and it is traditional in my family to eat our sandwiches with a chile on the side. Coming from Ventura County - I didn't find prices to be too high. Yummy Specialty/ pretty coffees or matches are about $9 bucks , up to $11 or sometimes more. Insta worthy drinks cost a bit more and you're supporting a family owned business -it's not Starbucks. Sandwiches are pretty large and I shared with my friend. There was pretty for both of us. We both left full. It is so cute inside! Not a huge shop, but there is seating inside. It was a bit busy ... service was quick! There was a line, however it moved quickly. Props to Damian and staff for being so welcoming and friendly!
Glad to see that Santa Maria is finally getting their own coffee shops! I had a warm latte with oat milk. The drink was decent and I enjoyed the espresso quality. Their photo machine wasn't working when I went, so I was a little bummed out with that. Service is super friendly & their decor is cute. The place is super clean and they have lots of seating available. Parking lot shared with neighboring businesses.
Very inviting atmosphere with friendly customer service and great coffee. Try the brown sugar shaken espresso, it's my favorite. Love supporting small local businesses.
This is a 3.5 star review, see below why. Could have easily been 5 stars but there was one big missing thing. Service was busy but friendly and the space was clean. Even with the line the food and coffee didn't take terribly long. Service 5/5! Brown sugar shaken coffee- delicious! No complaints except maybe the crushed ice vs ice cubes or bigger pieces of ice. I think it's more of an aesthetic choice but makes it difficult to sip coffee without using a straw and without eating lots of ice! Avocado toast- the bread was good, maybe a tad too thick but no real complaints. The avocado was fresh but it was beyond bland! Literally salt, pepper and acid would have made this a 5/5 place but it was so hard to eat flavorless avocado toast. Especially with this simple of a dish, seasoning is everything! Big portion though! I'll be back to try out a sandwich and hope that they season those!
Friendly greeting by the gentleman who took my order. The establishment is clean and looks fairly new. The vibe is "Instagram" Cute place to enjoy a hot or cold coffee, Chai, matcha, or just a PAN DULCE. I enjoyed a medium Chai Latte while I completed some work online. I used my personal hot spot so I am unsure if they offer free WiFi, but it was a pleasant visit. I will be back. My one recommendation is to get the tables balanced or adjusted so that they don't wobble.
We are currently doing a road trip from San Diego and my wife saw this cafe as a suggestion. This place has a lot of love. We got a cafe de olla, an iced horchata latte and a pan dulce. These guys were so kind and gave us amazing suggestions that were tailored to our needs. Authentic flavors, with amazing community driven service. This place is worth visiting Santa Maria. A must stop. They have mastered their craft but just as important they have opened their doors to what feels like their home. It's warm and welcoming and but vibrant with music that adds a touch of home. The crew here is the secret recipe and I challenge anyone to find a place as special as this. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart, you guys made our visit memorable and we will be back to Santa Maria because of you guys.
My favorite coffee stop in Santa Maria. I always get the Pepino con Limon, and I got a free one recently for enrolling in their rewards program. The staff is always super friendly and the ambiance is cute. They have pastries and a full coffee menu. Fantastic ube matcha as well.
My husband and I stopped here to get a few quick drinks because he was recommended to try it by a few friends and it did not disappoint! It was only a few streets down from the main eateries like canes but it was worth it to go there. I got a matcha latte with a sweet cold foam on it and my husband got ube foam cold brew and both were delicious!! The service was super friendly and we sat outside but the inside was so cute with plush couches and a cute mirror. Would def go again!
I love this place so much! The vibe is absolutely vibing. Super duper cute seating area. The service was friendly. I had their matcha and my wife tried the pepino con limon and WOW they were delicious!! The avocado toast was phenomenal. Honestly I'm just upset I haven't been here sooner.
Best grilled cheese hands down! This place is aesthetically pleasing but also has the menu on point. Avocado toast was also very good and the mini concha was so soft and perfectly sweet. They also have a variety of images to put on your latte. Love this cute spot! Staff was super friendly and attentive too.
Beautiful atmosphere! This place had such a warm welcoming as soon as you walk in. I got the avocado toast and white chocolate mocha, amazingly on point! Hit the spot. The service was top tier! I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

I 1,000% recommend Canela Café! This is actually my first Yelp review, and I wanted to share it because this café is truly worth it. The owners are so kind, friendly, and hardworking, they make you feel like family! Their bread is AMAZING, so soft, fresh, and delicious! Their hot chocolate and sandwiches are also delicious. My best friend and I have made it a tradition to come a couple of times a month, even though we live a little far away. It's veryyy worth the trip! It's also a really nice, cozy place to sit, eat, and spend time with friends. We love it so much that we even bring bread back for our coworkers, who are now obsessed too! If you're ever in Santa Maria, definitely give Canela Café a try, you won't regret it! read more
The parking here is free and easy. The grab and go counter is speedy and they have a large selection of beverages. I saw a family get these cute drinks with small elephants on top that steamed. Adorable! - I got the chocolate croissant and they had a case of a few pastry items. I wish they had more to offer with dairy and grain free options. I also would love to see more options with taro. - The to-go bags are environmentally friendly and the staff is attentive. read more

I found Canela Cafe by accident while driving through the parking lot and was pleasantly surprised! Such a cute vibe inside and the staff was very nice. I got the Biscoff Cookie Latte to take to the grocery store with me... and it didn't even make it in because I drank it so fast. So good! And the mini conchas were so cute! Will definitely return. read more

Immediately we felt welcomed and at home here! We are traveling and decided to stop in and we are so happy we did. Their pastries and their drinks are phenomenal. I always get nervous that drinks may be too sweet for me, as I cannot tolerate drinks that are too sweet. I ordered the horchata latte. No sugar adjustments could be made due to the mix already being together - I was so impressed with how delicious it was and it had the perfect sweetness, just lightly sweetened. We loved the energy, the kindness and the helpfulness from everyone here. We would love to come back if we are ever in the area again! 10 stars!!!! read more

The only reason why I won't give 4 or 5 stars is because my drink was not all the way full. Their menu has a variety of drinks and some food. There isn't that much seating and the seating seems a bit crowded. Their customer service is excellent, they are very welcoming and helpful and I appreciate that. I would be back again to try another drink. read more

In a country where sub par food is the norm, I can assure you, you will not find this here. We order two coffees and a Torta Jamón. This was honestly one of the best Tortas we've ever had, reminding my wife of her childhood, and at a coffee shop none-the-less! If you are in Santa Maria, you HAVE to go! read more
