    Sandwich
    Ariana M.

    This place was so cute and had a lot of good options. The service was really good and fast. I liked the layout of the cafe and all of the options for seating. The way that they arrange the food is very aesthetically pleasing. I would love to go back and order something else!

    Saw rave reviews for Cafe Luna, but that was further away. So gave Little Luna, given it was "inspired by Cafe Luna" (per website) a try. The space is nice, bright, modern, open, and airy. Unfortunately, cleanliness needs improvement. Numerous open tables, at least 4 required wiping down but 3 employees just standing around, chatting and laughing, totally fine but take 5 minutes to clean the tables! Food was decent, nothing special. My classic bacon & egg sandwich had generous amounts of thick cut bacon, but not cooked enough for crunch. Eggs were standard diner type overcooked omelette. I guess a "B-" for the sandwich. Potato chips on the side for a breakfast sandwich seemed lazy. Charge a couple bucks more and offer hot breakfast potatoes or fruit. The cappuccino was good. Right milk, foam, espresso ratio. Note: I've been here about 30-40 minutes, at my breakfast, about to finish this review and they finally decided to wipe down a few tables. I'm guessing Little Luna needs to grow up a bit before coming closer to Luna Cafe.

    Had a great brunch here on a Saturday morning! I liked it even better than its sister restaurant Cafe Luna, as it was less crowded and had comfier, more spaced-out seating. It's also order-at-counter-style plus self-serve seating, unlike full service Cafe Luna, which creates a more relaxed cafe vibe. I got the smoked salmon omelet with a side of fruit, which was a perfect filling size for brunch. It wasn't extra special in flavor (no special sauces added), but ingredients were fresh and tasty. My dining companion got the fig and prosciutto sandwich, which was on the saltier side, but very flavorful from the fig jam. Overall, I would come back to try more items on the menu! They have omelets, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and french toast, so plenty of choices for different types of brunch cravings!

    Peach & mango lemonade

    Little Luna is my new go-to spot! A friend and I wanted brunch and were not disappointed. I was instantly greeted by Sydney who was such a big help. This place is good to go out with friends or even a place to come solo to grab food and/or bring a laptop to work at. We started off with the peach & mango lemonade then our food came out shortly. Fresh, hot and a nice portion to take home. 5 stars all around, I will be returning!

    Update: still the best espresso coffee in East Cambridge. Service still awesome, everyone knows your name. Still an awesome vibe to start your day.

    Faster service than the original Cafe Luna but less of a rush to be in and out! Staff was very kind and food was similar to Cafe Luna's, just a smaller menu!

    Street corn omelet

    This place has some of the best French toast in boston!! You need to try their churro French toast, and the lemon curd and blueberry compote French toast is also super good. The food came out in a timely fashion and the coffee and lemonade drinks were super fast too. The cinnamon halva latte and hibiscus punch were really incredible. The staff here is all so friendly and it's super cute inside with lots of plants and greenery. It doesn't feel too cramped like a lot of other brunch places as the tables are spaced out well. I'll definitely be back!

    Mexican street corn omelette

    This place has been on my list for a while, since I'm a big fan of the OG cafe luna. We decided to come here last minute after our original destination was closed, but Little Luna was open with seats available. The location is on a lovely corner with open construction and lots of windows. It's sort of an unusual combination of order at the counter/having a server. You look at the menu above the counter (a few pastries available too) and place your order at the counter, find a table (if you want - you can also order takeout), and then they call your name for coffees/food which you grab from the counter. They did come clear some of our table after we'd been sitting for a while, but not all of it, so we bussed the rest of our table before we left. So that part was a little confusing. They also do seem a little new-ish, they couldn't figure out how to add my loyalty account so I couldn't redeem my points. Food-wise: There's a huge amount of condiments (so many hot sauces!! Love it!!)/milks (oat, whole, half and half) available to use too. We got the Mexican street corn omelette and the black bean omelette, both of which were great. The Mexican street corn was amazing, with a ton of great toppings/sauces. The black bean was also tasty - my only complaint is that the black beans and avocado weren't mixed at all, so it felt like half the omelette was black bean and half was avocado. The home fries, notably, are just as excellent as I remember at Cafe Luba! Coffees: Their iced coffee is nice - it didn't particularly blow my mind but I enjoyed it and it wasn't watery (which has happened to me before at Cafe Luna). Also tried the coconut cardamom latte which tasted more coconutty than cardamom-y - it was original but I'm not sure I would order it again. All in all, was happy to get a chance to try Little Luna and will definitely be back.

    Great staff, Great food, Great music (Jazz), and Great coffee which is a delight to your eyes and tour taste buds!

    Chilaquiles
    Harp K.

    Stumbled upon Little Luna while looking for a brunch place since Cafe Luna had a huge line. Turns out Little Luna is a tiny offshoot of the original Cafe Luna! Much smaller and had a system where you order and pay at the front and wait for your name to be called to pick it up. I got the Chilaquiles and my friend got the corn beef hash. I loved the chilaquiles, they were a nacho style but so filing and had good flavor. They have hot sauce at the counter if you want to add some spice. My friend liked her dish but thought it was too much potato since it was also served with home fries. We also got the classic French toast and OMG THIS WAS AMAZING. Crispy, sweet and not too heavy, it was a perfect little sweet treat to end the meal. I was full pretty much all day! The menu is definitely on the smaller side but they are quick and efficient. Was a little confused with where to put the plates after we were done but the staff told us to just leave them on the counter. Much more of a causal brunch vibe. Would definitely go again!

    Food and service were great. Price went up slightly but still manageable range. Would return anytime for breakfast.

    So glad they're open more now! Go for brunch on a weekend, completely worth it. They also do to go if you don't want to brave the cold. More of a diner than a coffee shop which was a pleasant surprise. Really clean and bright colors all around really opened it up. Our waitress gave some great recommendations (we ordered both of them!) which were proved to be correct. Both meals were really filling but packed with flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were amazingly seasoned.

    Vanilla latte

    My family and I had breakfast here while in town for the harry potter exhibition. Everything was amazing. The service was great. The food was great. The hot chocolate was delicious. My latte art was cute. The portions were a good size. And they were very accommodating when my son ordered an egg and cheese burrito (that wasn't on the menu).

My personal test is simple: if a cafe's black coffee is good, then everything else usually is too--and Cafe Beatrice passed the test. Once you move into their lattes, you're in for a treat. The last one I had was a matcha brewed with apple cider and sweetened with a chai syrup. It was a soft, fall-time win. If you're here, I'd say go all out and order one of their specialty lattes. The baked goods are generally puff pastry or croissant-based, either filled or topped with fruit, jam, or sweetened cheese. My favorite was probably a raspberry pastry (though the photo I posted was on Yelp over a year ago, my first visit here). I haven't tried their food yet, but from what I've seen, it looks good. For some reason, this place also seems to bring in a lot of bicyclists. There's street parking available, and it's right by the Lechmere station.

    Starving after browsing the Cambridge Antique Market, I found this bakery online and decided to try…read moreit. It was indeed excellent! Roasted Tomato Brioche: The cheesy flavors of the cheese were more pronounced than the tomato, and as shown in the picture, it had a slightly runny center. The chili flakes were minimal. Fruit Brioche: The fruit changes seasonally; I had blood orange. The sauce gushed out as soon as you cut into it, primarily showcasing the orange's aroma and sweetness. It wasn't sour, but also not too sweet, pairing perfectly with the brioche. Many breads are only available on weekends, so it's advisable to inquire in advance to avoid disappointment.

The restaurant had a really great ambiance, and I enjoyed being able to watch the chefs prepare the food. We ordered the ginger cabbage salad, the coconut eggplant, and the duck noodles. I would have loved to have tried their sushi grade salmon, but they were unfortunately sold out for the night. So I would recommend arriving earlier if you would like to try it. My favorite dish was the duck noodles. I liked the freshness of the basil in the pesto, and the tenderness and juiciness of the duck. The coconut eggplant was a close second favorite. The coconut flavor was delicious, and I liked the nuts on top for crunch. I also found the ginger cabbage salad to be yummy, but not as much as a standout as the other two dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot for dinner. I liked how fresh everything was, and how the dishes felt very light and healthy. It's definitely a bit on the pricier side, but I found it to be very worth it. I definitely come back and try their lattes and other dishes.
