I was a bit disappointed at my brunch in Little Luna. This place is so highly rated so I had high expectations, but the food was okay. I ordered the health wrap, and it was lacking in flavor slightly - I needed to season it. I was super excited for my vanilla latte, as it is made with real vanilla and the menu really hypes it up - but it honestly was kind of tasteless and didn't live up to its description. The place has a very cute vibe - it has aesthetic decor and creates a cozy and relaxed vibe. As for the service, it wasn't the best - my latte was a bit cold, and my friend's meal came out quite late. I don't think I would come here again, but I'm glad that I got to try it. read more

The indoors are great, very nice space and seating options. The service can be hit or miss - have had both attentive, wonderful servers as well as some odd ducks who overtly did not want to be doing the job. The food is very good - I've enjoyed a range of dishes from omelette, scrambles, pancakes, and various sides, and the quality of all was outstanding. The prices are high, even for the food and location. Still, nice spot for brunch or a work lunch. read more

This omelette was exactly what I needed after my 5k! Fresh food, healthy options, and amazing portion sizes. The service was fast. It definitely gets a bit crowded but it's worth it! read more

We were actually venturing to a cafe nearby which didn't happen to be open so we stopped by little Luna. We were happy that we did because the food turned out tasty and the staff were friendly. Coffee was good as well and do yourself a favor, get a cookie, you'll thank me later. Ambiance is also cute and cozy, will definitely pop back in one day. read more

Had brunch here with a couple of friends and it was pretty decent! The portion size was good and the menu was pretty large.

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Little Luna - Kitchen sink breakfast, mint tea, churro French toast with strawberries - Cafes Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Amazing in every way. The prices seem a bit high when you enter but the food is proportional to the price you pay. The breakfast sandwhich had four (maybe more) turkey patties, a great amount of eggs with a giant croissant. Delicious. The service was amazing. Shout out to the host and the cashier on 5/17 at 10:30am. Great service. I ordered a Large Strawberry Matcha with Almond milk and the Maple Turkey Sandwich with Avocado. read more

I am currently sitting inside Little Luna as I write this review. This place has all the aesthetics as Cafe Luna minus the huge crowd and noise. The menu is a lite version but still has all the classics like the Kitchen Sink, omelettes, and sweet breakfast items. The dishes taste very similar with a little variation, which is nice and refreshing. The service is order at the counter and find your own seating. The staff are friendly but probably could be more attentive as I was missing a fruit plate with my dish. Overall such a good experience and refreshing change! read more

My roommates and I stopped by Little Luna on a Friday morning for some coffee/tea. Looked like it was a popular option amongst the employees working at the nearby biotech firms. We'd been excited to check it out, since we love the original Cafe Luna location! Little Luna is definitely a good option if you're looking for something a bit more grab and go, but I prefer Cafe Luna for a legitimate brunch with friends. I ordered the London Fog and really enjoyed it (tasted just like the one I've tried at Cafe Luna). My roommates had the NOLA Mocha Latte and Gold Spice & Honey Latte and both really enjoyed them. We had already eaten breakfast, but it looked like they had a decent menu of breakfast/brunch options and some yummy pastries. We'll have to come back to give them a try! read more

Came here on two separate occasions. The first was for weekday brunch and they had casual brunch options similar to Cafe Luna, without the wait. The second time was during Sunday brunch and they pretty much the popular items at Cafe Luna without needed reservations or waiting. Would recommend if you want the more popular Cafe Luna food. You order at the counter and seat yourself. read more

I saw this place had opened up right next door and had to go in because I love their sister restaurant in Central, Luna Cafe. They have a lot of drinks and sandwiches listed on their menu, seems like it's more fast casual in comparison to Luna Cafe. I got the NOLA Mocha iced coffee and loved it! It's the perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness from the dark chocolate. My friends got the London fog which is as good as it was at the sister restaurant and the ginger turmeric was light and not too sweet. read more

Unfortunately, this is the only coffee shop near my office. The cappuccinos are tiny and cost over $6. I've ordered a sandwich from here and the bread was stale. I ended up tossing most of it. I think they know they have a monopoly on the area so they don't have to try very hard to make good food. It's a bummer because it has a lot of potential and friendly staff but I can't even bump up a star for staff because the food and coffee is that bad. read more

I've been coming here pretty frequently for the past whole year because I love their vanilla latte and the friendly baristas and cashiers. But, I guess it's not the same anymore. Today, October 27th, was my fourth brunch after my first two brunch takeout orders last summer, and a dine-in last winter. Today, my partner and I called Little Luna around 1:34pm if we can still order, because they close at 2pm. They said we can order as far as we come 5 minutes before they closed. We arrived at 1:37pm and made an order. Today, most faces were young and new, I haven't seen most or any of them before, and they weren't very kind. The girl asked "for here or to go?" My partner said he wanted it for here (because she gave us an option to choose from, right? If they thought only to go orders were available, she could have said so up front.), but the girl at the counter just blandly said "We'll serve you in a to-go cup." So we thought, "OK, fair enough, I guess we were getting everything to go because it's kinda late and they had to close". I spent $83 because we bought two brunch menus, two coffees, and two bags of roasted coffee beans. I didn't tip them because I thought it was gonna be a takeout order. I personally tip the waitress/waiter if they serve us, because the systemized tip usually doesn't go to the waiter/waitress anyway. But surprisingly, the coffee came out at the pickup in a yellow ceramic mug. We were confused but just went and picked it up anyway. And another coffee came out in a yellow ceramic mug. I probably should have said something by now, but my partner picked it up from the counter again anyway without saying anything. And then the french toast was put in a ceramic plate, which looked like my food, next to the cashier, but was put on the counter and nobody called us to take it. I kept looking at the girl at the counter and the food, assuming that it's mine. But even when I made eye contact, she didn't tell me to take to food. She took a huge black trash bag out from near the register, and swung it around, RIGHT NEAR/ABOVE THE PLATE WITH MY FOOD IN IT..!! She didn't say anything until a third eye contact happened between me and her. She finally used a tiny hand-waiving gesture, indicating that we should take the food. Then my partner's food came out at the counter, and when my partner gave a glance, she spoke to him to take the food. But it was already around 2:53-ish. We hurried to eat. I chugged in the food and coffee. Unfortunately, while I ordered the same menu, the food didn't taste as good as last time. But then this random dude employee went to the cashier and said in a loud voice (but pretended as if he's talking to that cashier girl) , "IT'S ALREADY 1:59!" (Like literally, why can't he just come to our tables and say it personally that he wants us to leave in 10 minutes or so, when there were only a total of four customers inside?) And then that same dude came right next to us and started sweeping the floor and clunking the chairs. I felt like I was choking on the food, while I couldn't hear anything my partner's was saying right in front of me. There were other tables and chairs he could have cleaned beforehand, but he started right in the center of the cafe, where we sat. This was at 2:06. We were already upset at this point, and we hurried and rushed eating up the food, chugging the drinks, and finally left at 2:11pm. I was SO GLAD that I did not tip anyone at the register. Today's experience was the worst experience ever from Little Luna, but it's worth taking note on this, unless the manager fires those people. Like literally, you can't treat a regular customer like this, because this is how you lose regular customers. You can't even treat ANY customer like this if you want to keep your business going. You two shouldn't even be in the service industry. I'm not going to generalize this to everyone who was there. But those two persons I encountered and saw today were so UNEDUCATED that I lost all words to even complain on site. I couldn't check their names, so I can't mention any names, but we clearly remember their appearances -- both were on the taller side; the girl had mixed hair colors and the guy had bright curly hair. I don't think I deserve to be treated this way after paying around $83 for the purchase. We will not return to this place unless there's a decent apology as comment on this review from the manager, with further actions taken on this rude incident. If I see any of those employees still there, I'm not going into this restaurant. read more

This was one of the best brunches I have ever had. And definitely the best French toast ever. You don't suspect breakfast nachos quite as much, but they were out of this world. Dense with so much packed in flavor and queso fresco that was better than it had any right to be. It was so amazing, big, satisfying and worth the price, my friend and I didn't eat for 21 hours until we went back the next day. I don't like coffee, but they had such fun latte flavors, I got one and enjoyed it. Can't wait to go back again? The servers were so friendly and appreciated our patronage. read more

Staff is friendly. Space is cute. Burrito I ordered was lacking, I hate to say it but maybe I misread the place. Little Luna sounds like it was perhaps an Americanized Latin spot... its definitely not Mexican maybe Mexican inspired but very bland. Edible but definitely needs seasoning. I haven't tried their coffee which is what I was going to do but uh due to convenience I got it elsewhere, will come back for coffee. For the price I did expect the flavor to be more elevated but if you like your food unseasoned this is the spot for you. We all have preferences, I know there's people out there who don't like to edit their food with seasoning and that's totally okay. read more
