Kanela Blended Drinks Coffee and Bites — Restaurant in Fort Wayne

(It makes sense if you find my other reviews, I'm blazing trails, so to speak) My van is currently being worked with the Jim mindset and I needed a coffee break. I drove downtown for an errand and thought it would be fun to try this little cafe with smoothies, vegan breakfast sandwiches and of course a quad with 2 sugars in the raw, not stirred for the sweet bomb at the end. The cup is from another local shop in Auburn, Indiana! I suggest you all give it a try, as well! MOST IMPORTANTLY: the little parking lot behind the building is totally off limits. Not their fault. The apartment building owns most of the lot. I called Jones Petrie Rafinski to see what was up; they own 4 spaces and have been dealing with the one way turn around for years. I felt such a huge feeling of impending doom while driving down that little strip of parking lot that I thought I was having a medical episode. They said they have been dealing with it for years. The people who work and live there deal with that twice a day every day. I don't know who to call if even an attorney's office staff experiences that horrible plight of fighting for the right of way down a one way, forced to come out the wrong way. There are arbitrary barriers set up that are obviously unnecessary for the rest of the parking lot that would allow a proper exit. If someone knows how to get that remedied, I would appreciate the effort greatly!

Also, best coffee...

Our fruit bowl was fizzy and fermented and our avocado toast was rotten. I should have taken pictures. We had our 18 month old with us and wanted to try the cafe out while downtown. I was told I would be refunded but had to wait for the owner to get in later. I had to call myself to follow up later that day. She acted like her staff was incompetent and under trained. She also would not take responsibility for the spoiled food but instead said she checked it all at close the day before. Obviously not. The fruit was mushy and grey in spots and the avocado was brownish yellow and smelled putrid. The peanut butter protein smoothie was delicious and the cashier with amethyst earrings was very nice.

I got a text later I the day apoplogizing for the experience with a $5 off $20 offer. I would just like my money back. It’s been three days and it hasn’t been refunded as promised.

Editing a day later because the owner Flora just sent me an angry text message to my personal number after I left this review. She also never called me directly. I would change this from 1 star if it was handled more professionally but now I feel bullied after a...

Out doing the Savor Fort Wayne 2021 tour today downtown at Kanela. They have many options on their savor menu. For $12.25 we got a smoothie, one mango one berry, chicken and waffles with a side of honey, and either a mini cheesecake or donut.

The smoothie had a very good flavor and paired well with the rest. The chicken and waffle is served in a cardboard cup. It had quite a bit of chicken and even more waffle. The honey was very thick and coated everything nicely. My cheesecake crumbled when I touched it with a fork, due to the graham cracker crust on bottom. It was very sweet so the size of it came out just right. The glazed cinnamon roll donut came out hot and mom really enjoyed it. They are open pretty much all day Monday through Saturday after 7:00 a.m. through the week and 8:00 a.m. on the weekends.

The building has a cool mix of classic old architecture with some modern decorations and a great view of the downtown skyline. Certainly a great place to visit. Have you...
