It\u2019s not just the LA-shaped churros or the racks of fresh pan dulce that scream Angeleno (although those help). Founder and baker Ellen Ramos curates a rotating menu inspired by the city and her own Mexican and Salvadoran heritage. The sleek, mid-century modern interior \u2014 which features a marble bar and soft Mexican tunes playing \u2014 feels particularly right for this already very cool neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Santa Canela offers Mexican-style coffee drinks that are sweet and milky but still pack an espresso-fueled punch. The burnt cinnamon latte offers a complex bittersweet flavor, while the cafe de olla leans more sweet with the warming flavor of panela, or raw cane sugar. You can also order horchata with or without espresso.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">There\u2019s very minimal seating at Santa Canela. Options include a couple sidewalk tables and tiny bar seating, but it\u2019s best to take your coffee and baked goods to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bakery and cafe Santa Canela, which opened earlier this year in Highland Park, is a pastry destination that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[5105,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-36231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-dining-report","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
