    Smoked Duck Benedict
    Spencer P.

    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.

    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!

    Lentil Soup

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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!

    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

    Wings & Waffles
    April T.

    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!

    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.

    Peach fizz ($6) and Roasted Vegetable Hash Plate (made vegan, added chorizo +$4)
    Rachel S.

    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.

    Strawberry Nutella French Toast + Steak Breakfast Burrito with home fries
    Rachelle L.

    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

    Kitchen Sink plate
    Marie K.

    I am so glad to report that Cafe Luna is still amazing!!! I love the Kitchen Sink plate. It's great for indecisive folks like me - especially those who can't decide between sweet and savory for breakfast. I especially liked the corned beef hash. All parts of my meal were delicious. I can't wait to go back and try even more dishes!

    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.

    Is it baby friendly?

    I think so, there was a child there when we visited the restaurant.

    Is parking available close by?

    There's often nearby on-street parking available, at least on weekends.

We put our names on the list and we were told that our wait would be 25-35 minutes. Our luck continued as we only waited 15 minutes before being escorted to a booth. As I said earlier, it was busy and you could tell the wait staff was working to keep everyone happy! We were given menus and quickly asked what we would like to drink. The drinks were on our table in no time! We ordered one appetizer (buffalo fried brussel sprouts) and it came pretty quickly! I am not a big fan but my son and wife loved it! They raved about the seasoning and taste of the sprouts! (see picture) We put our orders in for dinner after finishing the sprouts. I ordered steak tips with frieds and ceasar salad, we had pan roasted flattened half chicken and a shaved kale and brussels salad to top things off. The food was delivered to our table in managable time. I would say 15 minutes from the time we ordered. The food was delicious and serving size was perfect. All three of were happy with our choices. The steak tips were perfect for me.....cooked medium well and juicy! We finished our dinner off with a dessert that my wife had heard of and wanted to order. I did not have any, but they raved about it! The Banana Break pudding was out of this world! I wish I saved some room as the smell was delicious and the size was perfect! WOW! Price- average Parking- seems to be enough spots on Highland Ave Vibe- a local bar with great food...lots of families Would I come back? For sure...I am looking forward to a visit before the Holiday season! I really like the way the entire place is set up....inviting and welcoming! 5 stars from me!

Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

This is a pub-type atmosphere with a full-service, large bar serving cocktail specials and a gazillion draft beer options.

I ordered the steak tips, and they were OK. They were served Med/rare, as ordered, but they did need a bit more seasoning. Plus one ordered a steak salad, and it was OK. They were pretty frugal with the protein, and it came with an abundance of tomatoes. Another guest split a cobb salad it arrived without some ingredients, like bacon. Other diners stated that their dinners were excellent, so 4 stars seems about right. Even though they were very busy, our table was well taken care of throughout the evening.

The steak was cooked to my liking (rare) but it was room temp and I would describe that serving size as maybe the equivalent of a medallion. Everything else our table ordered (pizza, shepherd's pie, and a burger) looked great but the flank steak is not it y'all. However the service was top notch and will definitely go back, just won't order the flank steak next time!
