cafe luna

a greatplacefor 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. 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? 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, but cafe luna just gets brunch. and i love them for it.

theplaceis 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.

amazing brunch!. four words: lemon blueberry french toast.
the lemon makes everything tangy, and prevents the sweetness from overwhelming you, and the blueberries color the dish with a vivid purple, and add a soft texture that perfectly offsets the toast. basically the best thing ever. i keep telling myself to order something else, because everything is wonderful, then i can't resist and i order the toast again.

it is obvious whenever you go to thatplacethat the owner really cares about you, and about the food. it is clear that the restaurant is his baby. it makes for a really great atmosphere, and truly creative and wonderful food. it would be nice if there was more seating, however, particularly on saturdays and sundays. (but the fact that it is a completely overrun by people can be fun, too)

fabulous. great food and coffee, genuinely friendly and helpful staff, free music, and wireless to boot. what's not to like? theplacefills up quickly, so go early.

goodplacefor lunch. delicious paninis and quality service. the espresso is decent. it's a cool atmosphere when they have live music in the evening.
