cafe luna

i love neighborhood cafes with excellent sandwiches, great ambiance, and other cool surprises, like mini cupcakes , pretzel bread , or the most awesome vanilla loaf ever .cafeluna is not too far from my work place, and i just can't believe it's taken me

a great place for a relaxing brunch especially after the long flight from melbourne, australia. the coffee and omelettes are great, and for the first time in my life i had a lobster omelette. thiscafedeserves its reputation.

esteemed friends and guests, please join me in congratulatingcafeluna for winning my best brunch in the boston area award. considering the extent of my research, this is a much-coveted and highly-respected honor.

can't decide between savory and sweet? get everything but the kitchen sink for a miraculous medley of sausage, waffles, corn beef hash, bacon, and home fries. this is brunch epitomized.

want a new england take on a classic? the lobster eggs benedict provides sweet chunks of crustacean under a delicately poached egg with asparagus and homefries.

do you wish you could just eat dessert? the nutella and banana stuffed french toast will hit the spot with just a little less guilt than eating cake for breakfast.

and drink up! the chai is spicy-sweet, and in the fall the pumpkin latte stomps this staple at starbucks.

but in all seriousness, trust me on this, people. i realize the enormity of my statement, butcafeluna just gets brunch. and i love them for it.

the place is tiny, so if you're looking to come without reservations on a weekend, try to keep your party small (which of your friends do you like the best?) and arrive just a few minutes before they open. chances are, there will be others with the same idea, but using this method i've only ever had to wait a few minutes.

cafe luna, it is my honor to present you with this bacon-shaped trophy. display it proudly, and brunch on.

lunch. try the lazio-homemade turkey, lettuce, tomato and bacon on panini. the accompanying salad is a great addition. then wash it down with a strawberry smoothie!!
