I ordered the southwest chicken sandwich. It was phenomenal! I ordered pickup during lunch hours and it was timely and they packaged it nicely. Would recommend! read more

The food was great. I got the lemon berry pancakes. It was not too sweet, the cream was fresh and a great addition, the berries were very fresh and the pancakes were very fluffy. I love that the bacon is thick so it was cooked through and well, and you had something to chew (not bacon flavored air chips. if you know, you know). I LOVED the crispy brussels sprouts with bacon, the flavors were so interesting and balanced, and the brussels were good very well. My partner had the black bean and pulled chicken and omelet. He says the flavors were good, but he would have preferred them separately, it didn't go together as well as he thought. The servers were lovely and fast, and the decor was modern with a comfortable feel. It was a nice day and the sun came through just enough from the windows that it lit up the restaurant in a good way. If you're thinking about it, I say go! read more

I've been here twice now. The first time I came I didn't have a reservation and had to wait a long time. This time around I made one and luckily it helped save me wait time. I ordered the peach fizz mocktail which was delicious and refreshing. Then I got the spinach and avocado Benedict. It was ok. I liked the hollandaise sauce and english muffin but the spinach tasted just ok by the end I left some on my plate. Plus the avocado a little brown in some parts. The dish as a whole was good but just ok, nothing to write home about. My mom got the corn beef hash benedict and she liked it. They always have specials which is nice, to switch it up month to month. Both times I came it was fully packed--not sure what people order to keep it this full since my dishes have been just ok. The lady next to me didn't even seem to make a dent in her dish before asking for a box. All in all it's a good place to come in Cambridge, definitely make a reservation, food is solid but nothing too impressive. read more

Food wasn't all that. Seriously, I'm still trying to figure out why this spot gets hyped to the moon. Cafe L. in Cambridge supposedly always has a crazy line if you don't have a res. I had scoped it out during my Easter '25 trip when I last visited my kid, but getting a table was impossible back then. This time my kid came thru and snagged us a res. The place itself is pretty basic- not in a bad way- kind of an industrial vibe. The hostess stand was straight-up chaotic. Anyhow. I ordered the Chocolate Kiss French toast topped with fresh raspberries and whipped cream, but the coated crumb French toast was different. Not bad, just not what I expected. Word to the wise: this isn't the spot to go for something 'creative'. This is the spot to go for the regular French tst I think. My kid went with the 'Kitchen Sink', that included a pancake, eggs cooked your way, a protein (she picked the vegan chorizo), and hash browns(?). Our server, Myka (?), was super sweet and on point the whole time and my mango Bellini definitely hit. But yeah...I'm still dazed and confused about all the social media hype. The service was solid, the Bellini was good, but the food? It just didn't live up to the internet buzz for me. read more

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

Food was good and fresh but no better than other breakfast places in Boston/Cambridge. We ordered corned beef hash, chilaquiles and the kitchen sink. Chilaquiles were heavy on the corn chips and the kitchen sink could benefit from a more imaginative presentation. Overall, food was average. The ambiance was very nice. Clean and spacious environment. Service was outstanding. Our waitress was very attentive and professional and made us feel welcome. Depending when you go, parking can be an issue but there is a parking garage nearby. 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

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

Had breakfast gere. Ordered the vegetable omelet. Normally, this isn't something I would order but for some reason I was really drawn to it. Boy was I glad! The vegetables were favorable. I enjoyed everything about my omelet, the potatoes and my coffee. Everything was prepared well. Delicious! 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

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

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

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

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

Medicore food, medicore ambiance, medicore service. The whole thing was a bit disappointing. I'd probably not come back.

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 place came very highly rated, so I was so ecstatic to try it, as I'm such a lover of breakfast and brunch! When we arrived, they were very accommodating and helpful, which made our time there wonderful even from the start. The menu had such great options, and I found myself stuck between the kitchen table and the mango habanero chicken and waffles, and I ultimately went with the chicken and waffles, which I'm so glad I did. It was wonderfully prepared, and I think asking for the wings to be crispier was the hack because they were perfect and such a great size. Despite the waffles and pancakes having a bit of an overwhelming nutmeg taste, thankfully it wasn't too overpowering and equally as yummy. The only thing I hoped was better were the biscuits, as the flavors seemed basic and underwhelming, but glad I still was able to try. I wish I wasn't just visiting, as this was a top contender for brunch, but I'm so happy I had a chance to make the stop. read more

Excellent all around. Big portions. Excellent quality. Unique dishes. What more could you want?

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

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

Came with family members to try this place out on Memorial Day, since we heard they were serving special dishes for the occasion. There was a bunch of people inside the restaurant because of the holiday, even when we arrived later at 1:45pm. The service was slow and took a while to get our food served, but that was understandable given the busy day. Food was alright. The lemon ricotta pancakes were soft and fluffy, with tons of fruit and cream. The eggs benedict with ham was also pretty good. I'd say that these two dishes were the best in our experience. The Mexican corn omelette was okay. I do kind of wish there was more food besides the corn, cheese and onion inside it though, but it wasn't that bad, just fine. The spinach, onion and feta cheese omelette wasn't so great unfortunately, and left a lot to be desired. There was a huge amount of feta cheese, and not so much of the spinach and onion inside. The omelette was also really salty for some reason. The side of salad that was ordered alongside the omelette didn't have much flavor or dressing to it either. Overall, just an okay experience. 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

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

My friend and I went here for the first time today and had a lovely brunch experience. For seating options they have traditional tables, seats at the bar, outdoor tables, and then smaller tables with one side being a higher up bench and the opposite side being tall chairs. Depending on your height and weight, I would ask for the normal sized/outside tables if they have room. We had a fantastic waitress! I can't remember her name () but she was a petite black woman with delicate facial features and black hair. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and were happy with our meals. I ordered the mango and orange Bellini and lemon blueberry waffles. 10/10. The plating was pretty, but the taste was even better. I highly recommend the waffles . My friend ordered an espresso martini and Cookie Monster pancakes which she rated highly as well. read more

The idiot that I am, I made a reservation for the wrong day. Despite it being a busy Sunday, the owner was incredibly gracious and managed to find us a table.
