cafe luna

best brunch i’ve ever had in boston! thelobsterbenedict is great!! although the cinnamon roll looks just like cinnamon toast, it tastes amazing! it was so busy on sunday so we can only seat at the bar. would love to come here next time for the outdoor seats!

before saying anything, i'd like to give a special shoutout to the kind man who asked us to call him "honey butter" who gave us 4 honey butter biscuits, 2 cinnamon rolls and lemon ricotta pancakes - all on the house - just because it was one of my suitemate's birthday. what a kind soul. i also can't stop complimenting this place. what delicious food! i ordered joe's slider duo with chipotle chicken, bacon and scrambled eggs and my suitemate ordered the same but with chipotle chicken and corn beef hash and poached eggs. so filling and so savory. toasted to perfection. you could see the golden yellow toasted side just gleaming right at you. my friend ordered the belgian double waffle with nutella, strawberries and bananas and my other friend ordered it with chocolate, bananas and butter pecan. the best thing about these waffles was the richness and the freshness of the fruit. strawberries were so ripe - they were fantastic! my other friend got the raspberry stuffed french toast which i didn't personally taste but it looked really good and she said it was amazing and brought some back home. we also ordered alobsterroll egg benedict for the table and a side of western fries. everything about that was amazing. the taste, the quality of the food and just the right amount of spices and salt. we are going back here again next saturday and i can't wait!

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 alobsteromelette. this cafe deserves its reputation.

esteemed friends and guests, please join me in congratulating cafe luna 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? thelobstereggs 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, but cafe luna 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.

cafe luna is, indeed, a brunch mecca. i am still reminiscent of thelobstereggs benedict; rich egg yolks soak chunks of succulentlobsterand thick, crusty english muffins - divine. don't be surprised to order a table-full; the goodies at the next table may be too tempting to resist!
