Café Luna

Terrible. A waitress who could not get the order correct, multiple times. Decent food once it came. But then came back for the 2^nd attempt. Waiter with the personality of a slab of granite. They were out of items like croissants and chicken. It’s just not worth the risk here. Pass.

I came with a friend who wanted to try their eggs benedict (they have many options). I’m just a simple brunch kind of girl, so I tried to just get basics (eggs, toast, sausage, a pancake) and everything pretty pricey if you go a la carte. But I guess that’s my fault for not getting anything fancier.

I came here a year ago with one of my friends, and I automatically fell in love with the place. They have very unique food options compared to other brunch places, and their presentation is so beautiful. I also love that they give you crayons to draw with because it was a super cute addition.

One of my favorite brunch places in Boston. Though it’s a little bit of a trek from Northeastern /​Back Bay area, it’s definitely worth it.
You make reservations via email, which I strongly recommend, since it gets very crowded. You can also get there right when it opens, though we did that (since our reservation was right when it opened) and there were already people in line.
The atmosphere is wonderful: warm and welcoming. We were seated immediately, and the first thing I noticed was that the tables were covered with blank white paper and there were crayons on the table. That was life-​changing, I kid you not. I don’t know why more brunch places (or places in general) don’t do that. It’s a great way to pass time while waiting for your food, and you get to release some inner creativity.
The service is also fantastic. We had a hard time deciding what to get since everything on the menu looked fantastic. My friend got the lobster eggs benedict, my other friend got one of the french toasts, and I got a vegetable hash. I asked for no cheese on mine, and the waiter was nice enough to sub avocado for free (!!!). I also got a cappuccino and my friend got a New Orleans style iced coffee, which she didn’t like but I loved.
Everyone enjoyed their food, and I enjoyed mine immensely. For being only vegetables, eggs, and avo, it was extremely filling.
Overall, great place — I would definitely be back.

This is more than a restaurant, it’s an inspiration for anyone who values great food, unmatched service and memorable company. One of the few restaurants that transcends food and simply delivers an overall experience you won’t forget. If you want some great food and to see a small restaurant run to perfection, check this out.
Oh and it has the best coffee in Cambridge, bar none.

From appearances alone, Café Luna doesn’t appear to be the type of place to warrant reservations (which we had, luckily) or an hour long wait. Even as my friends and I entertained ourselves by drawing on the paper placemats with the provided crayons, I couldn’t help thinking «It’s just another brunch diner, no?»
And then I took a bite of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. My tongue was lifted gently into the air and taken on a magic carpet ride through a citrus sky. I’ve had lemon ricotta pancakes before that were much too heavy and I could only stomach a few bites, but I was pretty close to stealing the other half of this plate from the friend I was sharing with. We also split a savory dish, the Corned Beef Hash. The hash was crispy, the eggs perfectly runny, but not as divine as the pancakes. Among our table of 6 we split a Cookie Monster French Toast, which I believe only a true sweet-​fanged monster would be able to finish alone. The other dishes were more typical of what I’d expect from your local brunch spot, but seasonal specials like the Lobster Benedict might entice you to come.
Yes, it’s extremely crowded in here. The host was very polite and checked in with us frequently during our wait, and I was surprised that we got our water refilled pretty regularly given the number of people the staff had to attend to. There’s not really «good» seating in here since you’ll likely be brushed past multiple times throughout your meal by waitstaff and other diners or be walled in by your friends and furniture. If you have a small bladder, don’t squeeze yourself into the corner seat, please. We finished our meals (no leftovers) and they split our check easily across the people who shared plates, and we left without too much of a dent in our bank accounts.

Two words: Honey butter. Brunch here is fabulous, but I would shy away from going on a cold or rainy day when you’ll likely have to wait outside. For lunch I love the harvest salad with chicken, pretty pricey for a salad but everything is really fresh and you’ll actually feel full.
Staff here is awesome and always super friendly and attentive.

Food soso. Not as good as we anticipated. We had the three cheese sandwich and the French toast with strawberries. The taste was a bit bland, there was nothing special about them to make us want to come back to. The iced coffee we had was slightly sour to taste. It may suit someone who prefers a slight sour taste for his coffee.

Best brunch place in Boston hand down. I could be quite tricky to get a reservation since it is a small restaurant. The food is amazing, and I dont say it lightly. We werent very hungry when we came but we cleaned our plate quick. They also let you write stuff on the paper that spread on the table. I thought it was fun and quirky. The coffee was so good, I dont drink coffe really but theirs are good. We posted the pics on fb and two of my friends loved the pics so much that they went to the restaurant. They told us later that the food was amazing for them too.

Heard so many great things about Café Luna that we made this our Mother’s Day brunch spot. To sum it up, the food here definitely deserves all the press it’s been getting. On our visit, we had the pleasure of trying the following:
— Cookie Monster waffle special: A dessert served up as a breakfast/​brunch entrée special. Delicious but very sweet. Waffles were perfectly cooked. My daughter had a smile from ear to ear while scarfing down each bite. Warning though: I repeat, it is definitely more of a dessert than a entrée item though. Best to check your diet at the door before you consider ordering this concoction :) ⁵⁄₅
— Lobster Benny special: I’ll admit I’m quite the lobster benny snob and this one of the best I’ve had in a while. Plenty of lobster meat, eggs were poached perfectly and I loved how they also had avocados as one of the layers in between the English muffin and lobster. Yummm! ⁵⁄₅
— Lemon ricotta pancakes special: Sweet batter mix with special lemony taste topped with fresh mixed berries. Vaguely reminded me of a certain lemon dessert available in Chinese bakeries. Not too sweet but sweet enough with a nice lemon zest. Would definitely order again. 4.5÷5
— Lobster & Avocado Omelet: Omelet was cooked perfectly but had a little bit too much avocado when considering the avocado/​lobster/​egg ratios. Good quality but not as tasty as the other dishes. 3.5÷5
Now for the only reason why it’s not 5 stars — We’d made reservations over a month in advance for a party of 5 but when we arrived, it was basically a 4-​top with an extra chair on one end. This would’ve been fine except there really wasn’t any space for it so my mom had to turn her chair sidewise to eat throughout our meal.
Unilocalers were not kidding when they mentioned how cramped this place is. Hindsight being 20/​20, it’s a great place to grab a quick brunch for a 2-​top as service is fast and efficient but definitely not for larger parties and not on a holiday. It’s just not one of those places where you’d feel comfortable to hang out a while longer and enjoy a coffee afterwards. There’s a sea of other patrons waiting to jump into your seats right after you’re done with your meal.
As long as you know that coming in though, you will love their food!

Out of several menu items, without being really apologetic about it.
Not the best service, our sever kept asking about things in the back.
I hated the experience in general.

Overrated, expensive, great spot if bad service is your cup of tea. Had the Chipotle, Black Bean Omelette, and it was awful. Completely flavorless and served on a plate which presentation belonged at a McDonald’s breakfast buffet. I had never been more unsatisfied with an omelette nor felt emptier after having something to eat. Worst of all, their service is as bad as their food; impolite, impersonal, rushed, totally unwelcoming. From their hostess to their waiters, everybody in this place needs a class on manners and customer service. Can’t wait to never go back!
P. S. Don’t forget to look at your check, they’ll probably try to overcharge too!

Awesome little breakfast spot.
I grabbed a cozy spot by the windows/​front entrance. Ordered the roasted butternut squash + goat cheese omelette. It was in front of me 2 minutes later — I was blown away by the speed.
The omelette itself was mind-​blowing. Fantastic coffee too.
When I finished my meal, they offered me more coffee and a to-​go cup so that I could take it with me!
Cheery staff, great service, would come by again in a heartbeat.

Café Luna is a small restaurant with a lot of promise — I’ve been told to expect long lines and great food.
I didn’t find long lines on a Monday for lunch, but it was pouring rain outside. Did you know there is an entire profession dedicated to adjusting restaurant data for weather so you can actually compare apples to apples?
The jalapeño mac and cheese was memorable. Added roasted vegetables and two sunny side up eggs were key; I wouldn’t order this dish without toppings. It wasn’t spicy, so friends afraid of capsaicin, fear not. My one knock was that the food came out a bit cold. Funny enough, the man sitting next to me also asked for a new cup of coffee because it was cold.
The service was great. An employee having lunch next to me stopped me from trying to stick a crayon underneath a leg to prevent it from rocking back and forth. Café Luna has crayons on the tables for folks to draw on the table paper. He stopped his own meal to help me with my table, and corrected it easily, sans crayon (or crown, or cra’n, depending, on where in the US you reside). Café Luna also has a European techie approach to payment. The server shows you the amount on a tablet, swipes your credit card right there, and then hands the tablet over to you. Receipt paper manufacturers: Your days are numbered.

Café Luna really is as awesome as people say it is! The food is decadent, the choices are numerous, the service is fantastic and the ambience is buzzing.
We made reservations through the Café Luna website a few weeks in advance because we were in no mood to wait in line. I think that’s the best approach to coming here. We had no hassles and were seated immediately upon checking in.
I ordered the jalapeño mac and cheese with chipotle chicken. My husband ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with raspberries. Both dishes were SO delicious. My dish was definitely the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had.
The menu options were all very rich and decadent. The menu was also pretty pricy for brunch options. But that said, I would come back here in a heart beat.

I’m a brunch snob and most places tend to be a let down. However, Café Luna lived up to the hype, it was by far one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I had the Lobster Benedict, Lobster Omelette and the Berry Stuffed French Toast. Everything was fresh and delicious, you definitely get a lot of lobster for your buck. It’s a tiny place but it’s definitely worth the hour wait.

After much warning by my friend of the long waits on the weekends, especially without a reservation, I decided to come on a Monday. Thank goodness for that because we were seated right away around 10am. I got the Grilled pear, bacon, and gorgonzola omelet with a side of salad and really enjoyed the flavors. The grilled pear was seriously on point. I thought that all 3 ingredients could’ve been mixed in just a bit more since one bite I took only had pear, and the next bite only had gorgonzola with some bacon and this situation kind of alternated throughout the entire omelet. My friend got the Jalepeno mac n’ cheese which although tasty, just wasn’t spicy enough. In fact, it wasn’t spicy at all which was a let down.
I noticed that the weekend menu includes a lot more items compared to the weekday menu. I also noticed that the weekend menu is $ 1 more for some of the same dishes compared to the weekday menu prices which I don’t think is cool at all… It’s quite unfair to penalize the vast majority of people who have to work on weekdays and can only come on weekends!

Favorite brunch spot in Boston — worth the hype (and wait)! Outstanding lobster and eggs benny — in a word, luscious. The buttered biscuits are probably not necessary, but who said life is about the necessities? Lemon ricotta pancakes were like an angel’s pirouette — the laciest, fluffiest dream ever, topped with plump, fresh berries. Well-​made with premium ingredients, giant portions, beautifully plated — can’t ask for more! Café is cozy, conveniently located in Central Square, and staff is lovely.
RESERVATIONS: *Absolutely* make reservations to avoid hour-​plus wait on weekends. For parties of 4+, email
. For parties less than 4, call Café Luna directly at 617 576‑3400. Reservations accepted up to one month in advance.
Café Luna is my jam — will be back to try out their full selection of bennys and kitchen sink sampler!

I’ve been waiting to come here forever because 1) I’ve heard rave reviews, 2) there’s always a line out the door, and 3) just reading the menu makes me salivate
Definitely make a reservation. You are seated quickly. Though you have to wait for your whole party to arrive to be seated. They didn’t give up our table with some friends being 20 minutes late while the place was busy and packed. Their patience was much appreciated.
5 stars for service — quick and friendly. Definitely did not rush us out of there. They’re pretty technologically advanced with their iPads and stuff which made splitting the bill seamless
Corned beef hash eggs benedict — solid 3.5 stars. Good but unremarkable… tasted like any other eggs benedict I’ve had. The one exceptional thing though was that the top part of the biscuit (the one the meat and eggs weren’t on) were honey-​buttered and had some sauteed spinach on it – omg this is what dreams are made of
Chai latte — the first time I had this, I quickly thought this was the best chai latte I’ve ever had, at least in Boston (I’ve had one from most places). My biggest complaint about chai lattes is when it mostly just tastes like steamed milk. But here, the milk was steamed to a velvety perfection and the chai flavors were bold and really came through. Came here weeks later just for a chai latte and it was below average. Docking them on their inconsistency.

brunch was SO good! omg. came here for my best friends birthday and the food was amazing! the place is small inside but it was a nice little place. our waiter was exceptionally nice and helpful! since there were 5 people in our party, 1 being the birthday girl, he was able to split the bill for us, and we all paid for what we ate, some of us drank, and he was also able to split the birthday girls meal 4 ways for us! he didn’t have to, but he took the time to do it for us and it was the best service ever!

Café Luna is delicious! I had the lemon ricotta pancakes with berries. It was THE best pancakes I’ve ever had. The lemon and ricotta blended so well and the fresh berries to top it off made a perfect combination. Lattes were also great. Their home fries are also yummy. Will definitely come back!
Make a reservation!

Café Luna is a cozy locals type of place.
The feel is on the right side of run down… rather worn in and comfy than decrepit.

The brunch here is AMAZING!
If you don’t have a reservation, arrive early. The place is small to begin with and gets busy very quickly (there was a long line outside when we left at 10:30).
Jalapeño S’Mac & Cheese (with focaccia crumbs and 2 poached eggs) — just as ridiculously rich as it sounds. The eggs were a bit runny so they could be mixed nicely into the dish and there was the option of adding corned beef hash (which we did). Very filling but definitely a dish to remember!
Breakfast Sliders (biscuits with poached eggs, arugula, fig jam and corned beef hash on one, chipotle chicken on the other) — such a great twist on a slider! Loved the biscuits and the fig jam added a nice sweetness. The chipotle chicken and corned beef hash were both great additions.
Also love their New Orleans-​style iced coffee.
Good service — they have their system down and are able to get you in and out fast. Can’t wait to go back!

By far my favorite coffee shop in Cambridge. They also have New Orleans style coffee if you are a fan of chicory. The only complaint: They close too early.

Best sandwich place in Cambridge. The 3 cheese grill cheese is to die for and it is always ready for pick up when they say. Busy place to find a seat durning lunch hours in the week so aim for take out

Café Luna attracts major crowds. ALL the time! The wait was almost an hour and after having the food, I can understand the hype. However, service was off from the start when our waiter (although very nice) never brought out our drinks. The food came and no drinks to be found until we finally flagged him down. It was incredibly busy that day so I understand but service could have been better.
Food wise, the lemon ricotta pancakes were very fluffy and topped with fresh berries! So yummy! I wanted to try their infamous corn beef hash, which was all gone (darn)! The recommended lobster eggs benedict, although pricey, was super rich and flavorful!

Definitely one of my favorite places to get brunch in Boston! Everything I’ve tried in their menu is amazing and they also serve blue bottle coffee so you know it’s going to be great. Every time I come here I usually get the lobster eggs Benedict and one sweet dish, and it never disappoints! The only bad thing about this place is how small it is so it can be a little cramped depending where they seat you. But they do take reservations if you call!

Disappointed
Food came cold! I ordered a lobster with avocado omelet and was so hungry. It came cold like maybe heated in the microwave. No salt. I waited for 45 min to come in. The french toast and latte were good. But I don’t think I will come again

Easily a top five breakfast spot for me in Boston. The corned beef hash and omelets are on point. Plus they have great coffee choices — I usually go with Blue Bottle’s New Orleans-​style Iced Coffee.
The wait can get pretty long as it gets later in the morning as its a fairly tiny spot. Would highly recommend making a reservation. Just email them at
. They’re super good about responding and accommodating. Just don’t be late for your reservation!
Easy to get to by T or Hubway.

Pleasant surprise. Within a few hours of posting my review, the café’s owner contacted me. Very polite and friendly email, along with offering a partial refund because of our sub-​par experience. I accepted and we chatted a bit.
She seemed genuinely concerned and surprised about the food quality and assured me that fresh high-​quality ingredients are always used. My guy and I both had omelets (I’d misremembered his as a sandwich) so perhaps it was simply an «off» day for the cook. Thursday morning at opening time, nothing fatty or sugary, no rush of customers to get the staff into the groove.
Not sure if I will go back during my next Boston visit in a couple of months, but I will certainly say good things about how the place is run. I do stand by my appraisal of the dishware however. Funky garage sale vibe is cool but there’s a notable line to unappealingly worn and old.

Probably the best dining experience I’ve had in years. The staff there is the absolute friendliest and very accommodating. It’s small but never once did it feel cramped. Having paper and crayons on the table is the most adorable touch. Now for what I consider to be a religious experience: the food.
I ordered a chai latte — not only was it pretty but absolutely delicious. Very spicy and served at the perfect temperature. Would also highly recommend the orange juice.
I ordered the «Raspberry Kiss» French Toast and I’m very sad — because all other food tastes bad in comparison now that I’ve experienced the fluffy wonder that is the French toast. The home fries I ordered to accompany it were well seasoned and downright delicious.
Long story short: amazing staff, amazing food. We’re going back tomorrow.

I live in Chicago but I was in Boston for 6 months for a work assignment. I visited Café Luna many times for breakfast. Their coffee is delicious especially their chai latte. The chai doesn’t taste artificial at all. I’ve also had their mocha and ginger lattes. All very strong and rich flavors and a great way to start the day.
Their fig, prosciutto, and goat cheese omelette is delicious. All those ingredients work so well together to make the most delicious omelette I’ve ever eaten. Their lobster & avocado omelette has huge chunks of real lobster and fresh avocado but it could have used a bit more salt. Their Belgian waffle with sausage and eggs are okay as well as their breakfast sandwich.
Everyone who works there is really nice which is difficult to find in Boston. The place is small so don’t be a tourist and bring your big laptop bag with you if you can help it.

when my friends lived in central square, we went all the time for a weekend breakfast or brunch, and the food is always delicious. I typically keep it simple with an egg white sandwich, which is a fantastic light option with a delicious triangle cut bread, plenty of arugula, and fresh cut tomato. I’ve also enjoyed the eggs benedict and omelets and know that my friends love the egg burritos.
coffee is also hot and fresh. prices are a little high, but definitely worth it for the quality.

Apparently all of my favourite restaurants are in Central Square; first Toscanini’s, and now Café Luna, which is 20 steps away! I love breakfast places, so naturally I couldn’t resist stopping by one of the highest rated cafes in Boston.
It’s a small place, but since we went at 11 on a Monday morning we didn’t have to wait for a table to open up. Our food came out so quick, it was almost as though they had it waiting for us when we arrived! We ordered the Baked Cinnamon French Toast with strawberries, the Jalapeño Mac & Cheese with Bacon and Eggs, and the Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Omelette. All were AMAZING. The french toast was probably one of the best I’ve ever had; it’s a simple dish, but perfectly executed with ingredients that work really well together. The caramel sauce and vanilla custard add a unique touch of sweetness, which is not at all overbearing. The mac & cheese dish was also fantastic, and made me wonder why I haven’t made it with eggs before. Fig and prosciutto is one of my favourite combinations, and tastes even better with goat cheese! That omelette was a huge bargain at only $ 13; especially since it also came with a bowl of fresh fruit.
What an amazing café! I can’t wait to come back and try some of their brunch and lunch options. I’ve got my eye on the Grilled Pear, Bacon & Gorgonzola Omelette for next time…

One of my favorite brunch spots! I have been here twice for brunch and both times the food has been delicious! I got the Steak and Lobster BLT Benedict — the lobster was my favorite part so next time I might opt for the Lobster Eggs Benedict instead — and my boyfriend got «Everything Except for the Kitchen Sink» Sampler.
The location is small and you will most likely have a wait. The past Saturday I arrived around 9:45am (when brunch starts at 9:30) and had over a 30 minute wait — but the food is definitely worth the wait!

Café Luna is alright. Food was delicious, but the place is a bit cramped, but nothing special. It’s kind of difficult to get out without having to excuse people out of their seats mid-​meal. Service is good, and definitely receptive. Reservations are a must, seeing as the place is super packed. There was an Asian couple adjacent to our table who wouldn’t shut off their color commentary on the food they were eating. It definitely puts a damper on the experience.
All-​in-​all, I’d say Café Luna is a solid brunch spot in the area. The cramped space is a downer, but if you’re willing to endure other people’s conversations (whether mind –blowing or –numbing), give them a go!

Wow is the only word that comes to mind. I’ve reviewed this place before and I honestly didn’t think it could better than it already was. Alas, they’ve proved me wrong. I can see why this place does so well with the locals of Boston. The staff and especially the owner is SUPER friendly and accommodating. I’ve only been here twice and I’ve never felt a warmer welcome at any other establishment.
So since I was back in Boston, I knew I had to come back to this place for their delicious biscuits with honey butter! We planned on going in around 12 and brunching it up. However, we thought we’d give them a call to ask for the wait and they said we could also make a reservation for a later time. We had no idea they also took reservations. So we decided to go around 3 PM for a nice, hearty lunch.
Once we reached there, we had a bit of a wait as they were trying to accommodate a table for our party. The owner himself came outside multiple times to update us on how much time it would take and how much he appreciates our patience. As we made conversation, we let him know that we were visiting from NJ and made it a point to add Café Luna to our itinerary — especially for their biscuits. As soon as I mentioned them, he realized there aren’t many left in the kitchen (I thought he was kidding) and he rushed back in to make sure they reserve the rest of the orders for us. Super sweet of him.
We sat down and immediately got to scoping out the menu. I already knew exactly what I wanted as I fell in love with their open faced country biscuit during my previous visit. So my order was exactly that. Upon ordering, the server told me that they had no more biscuits and we got the last two orders, so I’d have to get my sandwich on an English muffin. In no time, the owner arrived at the table and said he had one extra order reserved for us and there were no issues! Needless to say, I was ecstatic!
My food arrived fairly quickly and I was immediately in heaven. Everything was perfection. The biscuits, the jalapeño cheddar sauce, and most of all — their seasoned fries. I’d say these were easily the show stopper. So much so that I ordered an extra side of them.
Towards the end, the owner let us know that all the biscuits were on the house. We extended our utmost gratitude to him for being so generous throughout our entire visit and making us feel so welcomed. I drew him a lovely «we love Luna» sign with all of our names on it. The table covers are made of paper and you can doodle on them and ask them to hang them up for you — which he happily did.
We said our goodbye and even had the opportunity to meet the chef, his wife — and rave about her delicious food.
Definitely a dining experience I won’t forget and rest assured that I’ll always be back for more.
Thanks, Café Luna!
PS. As usual, I never finish my food. So I took my leftovers all the way back to NJ the next morning and enjoyed my food at home, too!

EDIT: The owner, Teri, reached out to me and was more than gracious and offered to reimburse me for my meal. I refused because I had such a great experience I felt like it would be wrong to accept the offer. The owner genuinely cares about her business and the wellbeing of her customers! I look forward to visiting again!
I really really did not want to write this update. I had a wonderful time at brunch and everything tastes fantastic. But I think my lobster went bad because I’ve been suffering from diarrhea for the past two days): I asked my friend and she’s not experiencing any symptoms so maybe it was just my batch?

Cute little café! I didn’t stay long since I ordered my lunch to-​go but I can think of three great reasons of the top of my head why I’d recommend this place.
1) friendly staff
2) HOT. PRESSED. PANINI. SANDWICHES. that is all. I may not even need a third reason. jk.
3) They have a power charge station with chargers for almost every kind of mobile/​tablet/​cellular device. So if you’re low on battery, come to Café Luna to recharge and refuel: P
LE MENU
–Chicken Panini Sandwich! You can get it with chips or a side salad. I asked for the salad in attempt to make a healthy decision. (Since I got the order to-​go, I can’t say that I actually ate it). The sandwich however was absolutely everything that I was looking for. Crispy and flavorful, pressed and hot, enough sauce so it wasn’t too dry. It also helped that I asked for them to add avocado into it. You should try it, you won’t regret it.

From the owner to the service to the food, this place is hands down my favorite brunch spot in Boston. Great menu that leaves you perplexed as to what you should order but you will not regret any choice. The owner is just a great guy and always walks around to make sure his customers are satisfied. Oh, he friggin’ gives everyone free cinnamon rolls, fresh out of the oven!!!
Wish I had more hands so I could give the plqce more thumbs up.

Been here twice now and the food and service are just consistently great.
Had their Belgian waffles with fruits and it was delicious! As good as the ones from Saus and better than zinnekins. Definitely one of the better ones I’ve had.
The steak and lobster eggs Benedict was very generous with both meat. Egg was cooked to perfection the way I like it — a little poke and the warm juice egg yolk oozes out for perfect complement to the savoriness of the meat!
Service was impeccable. At the end, we even got free cinnabuns! I’m not the biggest fan of those as they are usually too sweet but man café Luna should add them to their regular menu!
Definitely go there super early or super late. You can eat café Luna brunch food for dinner. It’s that good. They do run out of the hash toward the end of the day but with all the other delicious food, you won’t notice a thing.

What can I say, Café Luna is one of my favorite brunch places in all of Boston! I’ve never had anything that I didn’t absolutely love, whether it was sweet or savory. For sweet, all of the waffles and french toasts are delicious, especially the ones topped with fresh fruit. For savory (my fav), their eggs benedicts are amazing, with the eggs cooked to perfection — if you want to go all out, get the one with lobster (expensive but worth it!)
The inside is kind of small, but they have a lot of outdoor seating when it’s nice out. The wait does tend to get pretty long on the weekends, but I’ve found that it’s not too bad if you go around like 10am.

Café Luna is probably one of the best brunch places I’ve been to! My whole experience here was amazing in terms of the service and of course the food! When we first came in, we were greeted by a very nice man, what made me happy was that we actually got our table right on the reservation time! WOW! I’ve been so many places and I’ve always had to wait past my reservation time. Anyways the interior is very rustic, cute, and a bit squashy. One complaint was when we got to our table, I realized that the floor underneath our table was a bit dirty (crayons and spilled food underneath). Whenever I see floors like these, my appetite gets a bit ruined.
What my family and I ordered was the Lobster & Avocado Omelette, S’mac and Cheese with Lobster, and Steak & Lobster Eggs Benedict! WOO so much lobster! My favorite dish would probably be the Lobster & Avocado Omelette because it was just made to perfection. Who knew an omelette can be that amazing?! I would highly recommend this dish! It is a must try. As for the benedict and mac and cheese, they didn’t blow me away, but don’t get me wrong here because they were both super delicious.
All in all, I would highly highly recommend this place. I would also like to compliment the servers at this café, they were one of the friendlist bunch I’ve encountered! So a ++ on that.

No words can adequately describe how much I adore Café Luna. Everything from the friendly servers, reservation process, to the amazing food was perfect.
I managed to snag a last minute brunch reservation for Father’s Day at 3:15pm just in time to order off the weekend brunch menu. As a group, we shared the Lobster & Avocado Omelette, Steak & Lobster Eggs Benedict, and S’mac and Cheese with Lobster (yes, we love lobster). The highlight was the Lobster & Avocado Omelette. The omelette was so fluffy and the lobster /​avocado combination was divine. You have to get this. The eggs benedict and mac and cheese were also delicious and I would recommend it, but oh my goodness the lobster & avocado omelette totally blew it out of the water.
I also tried my dad’s New Orleans Iced Coffee and it was really really good. The only thing I wish this place did better was to maintain the restaurant cleanliness (the floor under our table had some crayons and spilled food) and the décor is a little outdated, but I guess that all adds to the mom and pop old charm feel of Café Luna.
Please make a reservation via the email and prepare to be blown away with the best brunch experience of your life!
