Visiting Cafe Luna for Mother's Day brunch and was impressed all around. Service was attentive without being pesky. Food was excellently prepared and it's nice to see the usual breakfast/brunch fair along with other unique dishes such as lobster Benedict and duck Benedict! They just moved into this new restaurant space and there is a lot more space than the previous location. read more

Came here for brunch on a weekend morning and the place was packed! I've been wanting to try their brunch for so long so we made a reservation in advance to ensure we got a spot within a reasonable time. The menu had a great selection of dishes to choose from. We got things to share and service was reasonable - not too fast or too slow for everything to come out. The food itself tasted great, it was however pretty pricy in my opinion, especially for the portion size. While delicious, I probably won't come back unless it was a special event or something. I enjoyed the meal, just too expensive for me! read more

This tea break catering for the our lectures was decent, nothing special. Surprisingly, the rating on Google Maps was quite high! BLT Roast Beef: A classic American sandwich. The beef was roasted to a tender yet firm texture, retaining its original meaty aroma; the bacon added a touch of fat and smokiness. The tomatoes and lettuce were perfectly proportioned, both refreshing and enhancing the flavor without overpowering the meat; the mayonnaise made the bread moist and soft. This was the fastest thing to disappear from the table, indicating it was a popular choice. Turkey Apple Boursin: The turkey wasn't dry, and the boursin cheese was soft and sweet. However, the turkey itself is lightly seasoned and doesn't need apple slices to balance its richness. Adding apple slices made the overall flavor too sweet, resulting in a slightly cloying taste. Lentil Soup: This familiar Indian curry flavor... the lentils were stewed until very soft, almost melting in your mouth. But being vegan food, without the softening and enriching flavor of meat, the spices felt too strong. read more

The only breakfast restaurant that is worth going to. We don't go out for breakfast much but when we do, Cafe Luna is the only option. We recommend to people all the time. The prices are very fair for the quantity and more importantly the quality!!! Everything is always fresh and great. The steak for the Mother's Day special was incredible. Cooked perfectly, tender and melts in your mouth. read more

Most-recommended Boston brunch lived up to the hype! I knew I needed to get the crab cake Benedict as soon as I spotted it on the menu and I was blown away. The service was good too -- especially since I was seated at the bar. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday AM but they kept up. I also got the lemon ricotta pancakes and ended up eating them in the airport, but it was fun to assemble them myself and several people stopped to ask me what I was eating :) read more

I went to Café Luna for my birthday brunch and a time was had! My server was so kind and attentive! She knew a lot about the menu and gave great recs which I will try the next time. I tried their lychee martini. It was sweet, tasty and packed a punch. For my meal I had their famous Kitchen Sink plate. It is the perfect meal for an indecisive foodie who likes a bit of sweet and savory. It is the perfect balance. Everything was delicious! I always enjoy my time at Café Luna but they made it so special when they came out with my French toast and they added a candle to it! Thank you for making my birthday brunch special! read more

Get the lemon ricotta pancakes!! They were incredible. Also The server was super sweet. I would say the hot drinks seem much better than the cold, as the hot gave foam and latte art and mine had cinnamon, while the cold was very basic. Kind of chaotic inside but it seems that they are moving locations soon. We overheard a little about the new menu and it seems very exciting read more

Great for brunch (if you can manage to get a table) Very busy and popular brunch location. I recommend making a reservation because it's almost impossible to get a table without one. We ordered the wings and waffles along with the hash sandwich, and both were a hit. The wings were perfectly crispy with tons of flavor ( I got the mango habanero), balanced nicely by the waffles without being too heavy or sweet. The hash sandwich was hearty and satisfying, with well-seasoned potatoes and everything cooked just right. Parking in the area is also definitely a challenge, but the food makes it worth the walk. Portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. Would definitely come back to try more from the menu! read more

I visited with a friend for brunch on the first day of the opening of their new location in Kendall, and I'm glad we had a reservation! It was crowded, but we were able to be seated immediately. Their menu is extensive and we had a hard time choosing what to eat, but ultimately went with two extremes: the kitchen sink (2 meats, eggs, toast, potatoes) and the vegetable hash plate made vegan. The vegetable hash and potatoes tasted great and were very filling. My friend could barely finish half of her plate because of the large portion size and ended up taking a lot of the food home. She wasn't a fan of the pulled chicken, but otherwise liked everything else. I also tried the peach fizz mocktail ($6) but was disappointed when it just tasted like orange juice without any fizz. There were some minor mishaps that I think were part of the adjustment to the new location and how busy it was on a Saturday morning (a waiter brought a dish that we didn't order, our waiter forgot that we'd ordered a coffee, and it took a while to get our check at the end). Nothing serious though. Overall, we had a satisfying brunch here, and service was good considering how packed it was. They're open pretty late until 8pm too which is nice. read more

Cute and small brunch place with very nice and energetic staff. I came here for the Lobster Benedict but remember that it's only on holidays and weekends. I ended with the chilaquiles and added pulled chicken, the chicken was a little dry but nevertheless the dish was very yummy, but I won't recommend it for breakfast as it is quite heavy and oily. Will definitely come back to try some of their other specialties. my Americano was spot on. read more

Not really worth the wait. The food is mostly pretty decent, but not particularly amazing. I got a latte which had a hair on the foam when it arrived. We had a reservation but still had to wait like half an hour for a table. I think I paid $85 for 2 lattes and two entrees. It's packed and loud in general on a weekend. This isn't a place I'd go back to. Avoid the Bloody Mary, my friend got it and said it was the worst Bloody Mary he's ever had. read more

Love that they have the loaded home fries option! It's a little difficult to find parking but just go for Kendal Street Parking garage behind the Cafe! Parking is validated, so you will only pay $2-$6. read more

Really excellent brunch spot for classics! Came in around noon on a weekend and would definitely recommend making reservations - for a party of two we ended up waiting around 30 minutes. We tried the Nutella strawberry French toast and the steak breakfast burrito, both were really flavorful and the portions are also really large! The space is bustling and a bit crowded, and service was excellent as well. Will definitely be back! Food: 4.5/5 Price: 4.5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Service: 5/5 read more

I am so glad to report that Cafe Luna is still amazing!!! I love the Kitchen Sink plate.

I can't wait to go back and try even more dishes! read more

I was looking for a weekend brunch in Cambridge for my family. Once I saw the photos of Cafe Luna's food, I knew that I had to get here. They did not disappoint in any way. Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great price! The place was packed on a Saturday around 12pm and it was easy to see why. The restaurant has bar seating (diner style), traditional tables and tables at the side walk. The entire restaurant has an open air setting and the weather was perfect for dining al fresco. Upon arrival, the host said that it would be a 15 minute wait, but it was actually about 3-5 minutes. Our server Lili made the experience even better with her lively personality and menu suggestions. The menu is huge! A big plus were the Vegan/Vegetarian options. The avocado toast is actually not on the menu, but they make it and I'm glad that we asked for it because it was the star of brunch. We added smoked salmon and eggs to it. Some other highlights were the home fries, veggie hash and pancakes (all included in the Kitchen Sink). There is a jalapeño cheese sauce that is amazing! The price/value was a big highlight. It can be tough to find affordable food in metro tourist areas. $18 for the Kitchen Sink breakfast and you will absolutely be stuffed. Looking at other tables food and all of the menu choices, I would definitely return if I'm looking for breakfast in the Cambridge/Boston area and I highly recommend that you try it. read more

Cafe Luna was such a nice and comfy place! I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes with chicken sausage and my friend ordered the kitchen sink with an added pancake. The menu was incredibly expansive! The Bellinis were amazing! The ginger peach one was the best. The service was what gave this place 3 stars. Aiden was our waiter and when I asked for small substitutions for my lemon ricotta pancakes, he said that asking would make the chef upset. That, in my opinion, was an unacceptable response. Additionally at 90 minutes the manager came and told us they needed the table and we had to go. While the food was great, the service was unideal and I'm also a tourist. So with all the other cool places in Boston, this won't be a place I would return. read more

This is a solid 4 star place. The prices are quite reasonable and the portions are generous. The breakfast sandwich was great, as was the French toast in the Kitchen Sink dish. The coffee is good-wish they had real cream instead of those silly little plastic half and half things. The servers are wonderful! Ambiance is perfect casual but nice. Parking around here is awful so be prepared to pay a lot for that. read more

This place is fantastic - everything on the menu is delicious. The lobster is only available on weekends now, including the lobster Benny which is my go to. I strongly recommend getting a reservation as the wait can be very long. The service is fast and all of the workers support each other to make sure everyone gets what they need. read more

Tried Café Luna on Easter Sunday, busy as to be expected, wait times are accurate. It gave us some time to check out MIT nearby and walk by the water. Staff were friendly and able to get the food out quickly with the high demand. We both got the pulled chicken and sweet hash. Both got the side salad, one of us got the eggs on the side. Staff were accommodating with accessibility requests as well! Would come again! read more

Lovely brunch spot! Must have a reservation as they are always super busy. You also need to have everyone in your party there before sitting. Service was great. Really nice and attentive people. The food is always so good the times I've been there. I always get their French toast to share as they are well known for that. I tried their Mexican bowl for the first time and it was really yummy. Not the biggest fan of their potatoes but everything else was great. Really fresh food! read more

This place is always packed to the brim, and for good reason! They have such good brunch options! In terms of savory food, they have bomb eggs Benedict and omelettes. In terms of sweet food, their French toast and pancakes are to die for! My favorite is the prosciutto and fig benny with home fries - super filling and delicious! Definitely get a reservation and even then you may need to wait 10-15 minutes to get seated. read more

Best breakfast/brunch in Cambridge. I love coming here. Everything is always delicious and the staff is attentive, kind, and welcoming. Their corned beef hash is amazing! The coffee is strong and delicious. I happily recommend Cafe Luna to everyone I can. They are that good. read more

A great spot for brunch! This restaurant is usually very busy so I made reservations in advance. They have a variety of menu items: pancakes, French toast, eggs, Benedict's. The sweet matcha green tea latte was amazing! It was subtly sweet and perfect. The eggs Benedict was a little cold but was tasty. I got a side of lobster, which was a little pricey - 6oz for $20 so I will probably not do that again. The Cookie Monster French toast was very sweet but delicious. The ambiance was nice with windows open to enjoy the fresh air. Erica was the best waitress. read more

This was a great brunch experience and would definitely recommend! With no reservation, there was essentially no wait for 5 people. We were okay with being seated by the door. The restaurant is relatively big with both table and bar seating. We ordered as soon as we were seated and the food came out quickly. The service was amazing. The server was super nice. The portion sizes were quite large and very filling. They recommended many things on the menu. I ordered the Mexican street corn omelet with shredded chipotle chicken. I got a salad on the side. This was delicious! I couldn't finish it. It was a very filling meal. The corn was roasted and yummy. I tried my friend's pear french toast and it was good as well! Not as sweet as other french toasts. Thy shared with us that this is a woman own restaurant and a woman chef. It is always nice to support local businesses! read more

Best brunch around- make a reservation as it's always busy. So many great choices- and each option has many sub options. Egg Benedict? A handful of types. Loved the surf and turf version- steak, lobster and bacon with spinach and tomato. Delish! Tables are close together with some bar seating that is great for 1-2 guests. Outdoor dining available. They recently switched from fountain soda to canned. Street parking available. Can't wait to eat my way through the menu! They also have cocktails- my dining partner had a mimosa. Friendly and efficient servers and host. Husband- wife team split the front end management and kitchen duties. Food arrived quickly! read more

I came here on Wednesday morning for breakfast with my family after making a reservation on Resy. It seems like a popular place so making a reservation is strongly suggested although we were able to pick which seating we preferred. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside. I ordered the nitro cold brew with oatmilk and added vanilla. It was really good. For food I went for the "kitchen sink" and substituted the waffle for the caramelized bananas and pecan waffle, and got egg whites. The home fries were bland, dry and hard. The veggie burger was also really hard and dry. I did really enjoy my waffle but overall left feeling underwhelmed. read more

First and foremost, the employees were very kind and accommodating, regularly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The portions were generous, and everything tasted super fresh. The menu offered a great variety, and the food did not disappoint! I tried the chicken hash, which was savory, rich, and absolutely delicious. If you're in the mood for something sweet, the pancakes are amazing and definitely worth trying! This spot came highly recommended by my friends who have lived in Boston for a long time, and I can see why. Despite going during a weekday brunch when it was quite busy, we were seated immediately. read more
