Cafe Luna

Coffee was great, tried the hazelnut praline latte. Ordered the waffle BEG without bacon and the breakfast burrito, however our experience was disappointing. They did not make the dish without bacon so just be wary if you make any alterations. The burrito was very egg heavy. We tried to talk to someone there walking past but he ignored us. However, we did bring up the BEG with our assigned host and he was very apologetic and gracious about it. I left without eating though. The restaurant itself is pretty crowded during brunch weekend hours so it’s hard to move around.

My friend and I stopped by for breakfast, and we were blown away by how delicious everything was! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We both agreed we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great breakfast experience!

Gustavo was a great waiter! Table in the window was super nice. Made me a sandwich before the 11am start time (but it was 10:50) Coffee was good and came quick. Chocolate croissant and croissant blt were quite nice. Only change- pancakes were a little dry

We stopped at this cozy little cafe to have some breakfast, the service is a bit to relaxed, no smiles, cheerful greetings and so on, just sit and order your breakfast to the point. I did enjoy the ambience, the food was on the good side, well cook and tasty, portions were enough to fill you up. This place is good but on the expensive side so bring your fat wallet. 5 of us came out to about $200 with tip. I would recommend it but again make sure u bring some money. Also place is very small, on a 20 degree weather we were told to wait 30 minutes or so and then come back. There is no waiting area, one bathroom all the way into the basement. FYI. The water cups have a moldy/rusty snell. Happy eating!!

We had the best experience ever! i loved the food and the coffee, definitely i’m coming back to try the rest of the menu🤎

We were walking around early and came across this cafe. We had espresso, cappuccino, a prosecco, and an aperol spritz, so I can not speak to the food. Coffee was great , service was warm and inviting, and the atmosphere was bohemian and chic. We'll be back for brunch.

Went for brunch. Cozy little spot. Wouldn't recommend large groups. The Shashuka did not disappoint. And their teapots are so cute!

I recently visited Luna Cafe and had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. The staff is friendly and attentive. The menu offers delicious dishes and tasty snacks, with the fresh pastries being a highlight. However, the coffee was a bit of a letdown. It was decent but not as good as I expected. Overall, Luna Cafe is a wonderful place to visit. Despite the coffee not being the best, I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their offerings!

A fun spot for breakfast and people watching in the West Village -- they have a great outdoor patio with seats facing the sidewalk. It's a short walk from the West Side Highway and other Chelsea and West Village spots! The service here is really great, the waiters are friendly and have a great sense of humor. The Hot Chocolate here was DELICIOUS! We got a French Toast and Omelette to share and both were yummy -- portion sizes were great to share, we finished every bite!

In all honesty I didn't enjoy my experience here. The service was ok, the food was overhyped, and the dining area is extremely cramped. Details will be given. I found this place on tiktok last minute and it felt as if I was bamboozled. The presentation of the food was great though but the taste wasn't anything special except for maybe the omelette. Food: French Toast [4/5]: It was good. Topped with the syrup was even better. But it wasn't the best thing in the world. The taste didn't stand out to other french toast i've had. I wouldn't go crazy over it. Blueberry pancakes w/ turkey bacon [3/5]: The pancakes didn't taste special. They weren't nasty but they weren't really that good. It tasted frozen. It wasn't since we can see them make everything but it wasn't all that good. The bacon was good though. Omelette (customized -- spinach, green and red peppers, onions, and Swiss cheese) [5/5]: This was outstanding. It's big and comes with sides as well. It's really cheesy too if you're looking for a cheese pull. It was phenomenal highly recommended. Apple cinnamon iced chai [0/5]: This was disgusting. I would 100% ask if there are options to sub the milk with because it had absolutely no taste. It felt like I was drinking cinnamon water. Other than the cold foam it's flavorless and could use some type of cream or different milk substitute. Service [2/5]: The service was ok.. There was 1 person in charge of taking orders, completing transactions, bussing tables, and serving orders. Everyone else is cooking. You can tell he was stressed because he had customers yelling at him, people waiting to be sat, a line outside the door, doordashers shoving their phones in his face while also completing transactions all at once. He seemed a bit annoyed at times but it's understandable as to why he felt that way. Atmosphere [2/5]: It was horrible. It's cramped for people dining inside. Extremely small and boxy with no sense of privacy it's like you can hear the next persons conversation or hear them chewing. Times where you might accidentally bump into someone's table while getting up. TLDR; Wouldn't come back -- looks can most definitely be deceiving. Everything was mediocre except for the omelette.

Great café. EXCELLENT service. I've stopped into Café Luna twice now, both times as a hot, exhausted, and frazzled tourist. The first time, I popped in because my phone was almost dead. Not only did the staff get me situated at a table near an outlet, but they dug up a charger for me to borrow when I realized I'd forgotten mine. When I was visiting New York a few months later, we happened to be passing by, and remembering how kind everyone had been the 1st time, we decided to stop in again. The staff was just as welcoming, and remembered me from the first visit. It was a wonderfully peaceful moment in an otherwise exhausting day! The food and drinks were delicious both times, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had some gluten-free bakery options. This is such a little hidden treasure. Even if the food hadn't been great (which is was!), I would still give them 5 stars for being such wonderful hosts.

Spoke to an old Chinese customer who said this location was the old Kam which decided to close due to rent increase. The new owner has done a good job with the renovation, bright, modern and clean. Both the hot food and bakery were better than the old Kam Boat, may be less variety (e.g. they don't have the Green bean with sea weed dessert drink). They take credit card but with 3.5% surcharge. Good to have another alternative eatery in Chinatown.

Stopped in with a girl friend on a Saturday morning around 10:15 and we were able to be seated immediately. I thought it would be more coffee-shop vibes but it definitely is more of a sit down breakfast place, meaning you don't order at the counter. I got an iced latte with coconut milk (they had a great selection of non-dairy milks) and one of their chocolate croissants fresh out of the oven. My friend had one of their smoothies (they have a huge list of smoothies randomly...takes up almost half a page of their two page menu). Croissant was very good, smoothies are pretty small for the price but my friend enjoyed. Good. easy place to pop in, the food coming out of the kitchen looked tasty and they have vegan sausage which I love to see on a menu. By the time we left at 11:15 it was packed. Recommend going early if you want a seat inside. Service is pretty slow for such a small spot so don't plan to be in a rush.

Affordable brunch spot with ok options. Portions are smaller than expected, but with the price, you can't complain! Will say that everything about this place is ok - Service was quite slow and we had to really track our server down, asking multiple times for the same thing. Our server was friendly though, and it was busy.

This cafe was pretty full around brunch time. I stopped by to pick up an iced coffee on the way to the Whitney Museum. Would've preferred the iced coffee to be a bit stronger but overall it was fine. It's a pretty small cafe so best to go with a group of 2 or 3.

This is such a cute spot in the West Village. For brunch, I recommend getting the French toast. I love that they have a deal of one entree and one drink for a certain price. The service is very welcoming and friendly. I will definitely have to come back to try some of their dinner menu items.

Such a cute spot in the West Village, but sadly feel that the food is severely overpriced for the quality. They have a brunch prix fixe menu (around $21 I believe), but somehow my bill ended up being closer to $30. Shakshuka was unremarkable. Arrived cold and it tasted like I was eating jarred tomato sauce and eggs. Matcha Rose latte tasted more like sweet rose milk than anything else. I think there are definitely better options for brunch, but I'd be willing to give their pastries a try next time I'm in the area.

It's a cute European style cafe in the meat packing district, but I would choose a different cafe if you want coffee or good pastries! It currently has holiday decorations up! The barista was kind, but the orders got backed up quickly.

The food here was not too bad. The chicken in the Over The Moon omelette and the bread was a bit dry, but otherwise a nice brunch item. Coffee was great. There's a good amount of seating in the back. Service was great!

This place was our breakfast stop this Oct Saturday. We reached early and got a seat outdoors facing the NY streets. A very NewYorky thing to do - eating your breakfast right next to folks walking their dogs!!! Coffee was good - brewed fresh and hot, came with a mini-biscotti. Tofu scramble and milky-way-chicken sandwich were good and made fresh. Service was quick attentive and with a smile. They have weekend brunch menu - entree and a coffee/tea drink. Overall a good experience!

Perfect example of a "mid" restaurant. Not great, but not terrible either. Surprisingly busy on the weekends for such a meh brunch place, the service starts lacking right around 11:30 AM. Nothing wrong with the servers, I could tell they were trying their best, but they are severely understaffed (based on the weekend brunch times only). I ordered the Huevo Ranchero Burrito and it was pretty disappointing but at least it wasn't inedible. Plus, their brunch deal of an entree + a mimosa/bellini/red or white sangria is only $23.95 together, which is a great deal so there's that to consider. The interior is cute and welcoming, but I probably wouldn't come back based on the food and service. There's plenty of better brunch/lunch places in NYC, trust me!!

came on a long weekend after a gorgeous run on the west side highway! was catching up with my girl friends which this is the perfect spot to do so theres a whole smoothy part of the menu so we all got a smoothie - i enjoyed my friend's smoothies more than my own. i got the mango madness and it was a little too heavy on the turmeric i could barely taste any mango flavor. for mains we got the huevos rancheros burrito - very dry and soggy. had to ask for some hot sauce to add flavor to this - wasnt my favorite plus the side of potatoes was so small - only 7 pieces?! second dish we got to share was the waffle which was SO good - perfect texture and had a savory component. would come back just to order this!! our servers were beyond kind and helpful - would come back but be cautious of what i order

Cafe Luna is a very beautiful restaurant near Chelsea. I went their for brunch to catch up with a friend and I was very impressed by the service and food options. My favorite part was probably the iced matcha, great size and tasty. I ordered the pancakes with eggs and bacon which was pretty good. It wasn't super crowded at 1pm so it was very easy to find a seat. Highly recommend

Perfect little cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fun atmosphere. Artsy. Great cappuccino and mocha latte. Full breakfast menu. Friendly staff even when super busy. We went 3 days in a row, during our 4 days in NYC. Oh... and dog friendly .

Super nice people. Helped get my food. I liked it very much. Thank you. Christian was really nice. He's the server. In case you were wondering. Okay now i'm done goodbye.

Great service and fantastic food/drink! Highly recommend to anybody in the area. Smoothies are also fantastic option

Food overall was good, but they skimped out on ingredients. The amount of avocado on my vegan BLT with avocado was embarrassing, they didn't even put 1/4 of an avocado. The amount of vegan bacon added to it felt light too. The bread was good which what overall made it pretty good. The potatoes were delicious. Service was pretty slow.

It's not easy to find a true breakfast place with healthy options in Manhattan. Everywhere else was either a bagel place or breakfast was an afterthought with a limited menu. Thankfully, we found this gem with a plan to walk the High Line afterward. My wife had the Over the Moon with egg whites, I had The Galaxy (OMG!) and our daughter had The Eclipse. All were excellent and highly recommended!! If you're anywhere near the West Village or Meat Packing District, this place can't be beat! Great food, great service and really good prices for NYC!

Popped in here bc it was freezing outside. Extremely small, you can order at counter or have a seat and be served

Friendly service and atmosphere. Get the baklava latte and find a seat that faces out for some great people watching. Love this spot.

Great affordable little cafe with excellent breakfast. Delicious pancakes and bagels. Great Lavazza espresso. Staff was super nice.

Love this beautiful little cafe! Perfect NYC vibe for a quick bite or unique drinks. Staff is great

Very cool spot, friendly staff. Daughter loved it we will definitely be back. We had pancakes, French toast and an omelette all amazing !

A quick pit stop while I wait for my nearby grocery to open, and I was able to relax and watch the football with comfort of a very tasty mocha latte. Staff were friendly, and the place has a lovely ambience that seems to exude an Oceanside charm. The rest of the menu looks delightful, so I'm looking forward to updating this review once I've had more to try!

In a neighborhood with caviar bars it was a joy on a cold day to come into cozy Cafe Luna, get a warm greeting and a wonderful lunch. They have smoothies, but we were looking for more substantial stuff. First delight: I ordered tea and hot a pretty little pot and generous cup with a mini biscotto. Frittata of the day was in a small iron pan-- just the right size--and came with a salad with very well-balanced dressing and perfectly ripe avocado. My partner had one of their many hot sandwiches with roast potatoes. Pastries looked great but they'll have to wait for another time.

Absolute DISASTER of an experience with pickup order. I placed a brunch order on a Saturday about 11:30am for a 12:21pm pick up time. I show up at 12:30pm to pick up, and the server indicates there was an issue on their end and they never got the order, but they will make. I tell him that's fine, i'll wait outside - i get it that these things happens. At about 12:40, i start to wonder how long i'm going to be waiting. A few people take seats outside and orders are placed. At about 12:47, I go inside and ask what the deal is, they say 'sorry, its going to take another 10 to 15 minutes'. At this point, it becomes very clear that they just wasted 17 minutes of their time by not starting my order AND they are not even feigning any attempt to fix their mistake, with frankly is table stakes customer service at any restaurant, let alone one in the west village. Around 12:50, one of the seated guys outside gets his lunch. At 1:07 i text my GF that the guy outside finished his whole meal, and i still don't have the omelet and salad i ordered 37 minutes after the restaurant realized they made a mistake. I get food at 1:10 - 50 minutes after it was supposed to be ready, and 40 minutes after the restaurant new of the mistake. It takes a special level of bad to have this sequence of events unfold. In the end - the food was OK, not exceptional, not bad, but the experience was a nightmare. So morale of story, place pickup orders at your peril.

Came here this afternoon for a smoothie and was deciding between the one with banana and peanut butter and the one with dates and banana. They were out of dates sadly so I got the banana/pb one. It's super good but a little watery. Definitely the right flavor though. They could probably stand to thicken them up just a little bit because it looks like a chai tea latte in a cup (consistency wise). The server was super personable!

What a lovely cafe with all homemade food and treats. The space is super clean and adorable; and the food is beyond yummy. And and and the coffee is very legit lol. People here are super nice and friendly too. What a neighborhood gem!

Really cute atmosphere. very friendly staff. delicious breakfast. i got the galaxy omelet. super delicious and kept me full :)

Vine con mis amigas por brunch y todo fue muy lindo! Christian fue nuestro server y fue muy atento! Lo recomiendo al 100%

poor service, food quality and cleanliness. server comes to wipe the table after seating us and barely removes the crumbs from the previous party. multiple mistakes on both coffee and meal orderered. when asked about it, no remorse or apology where we were told that is what you asked for. prices are really good and competitive but besides that i'd avoid at all costs.

We came in for lunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and were told by some gentleman, who I assumed was the manager, that there was no seating available outside, despite the open tables. Inside, we were told to only order off the brunch menu, despite the menu indicating lunch all day. Our table was dirty and our silverware, full of fingerprints, was scooped loosely from inside the waitress's apron. She then didn't return for more than ten minutes. I'm not saying we were discriminated against, but, while waiting, we noticed the aforementioned gentleman immediately seat a beautiful blonde outside when she asked about tables. We split and ended up down the street at a much better restaurant.

I came in. Picked a seat facing the outside and even acknowledged by the waiter there. Sat for 15 minutes and no one came up to the table to see if I wanted water or a menu. I just got up and walked out. Horrible experience.

This is one of the worst dining establishments I have ever been to. The eggs shakshuka was canned tomato sauce and overcooked eggs with a side of wonderbread toast. My girlfriend got a sandwich with a side salad and she felt nauseous after. No surprise, the bathroom turned out to have no cold water handle so you could only turn hot water on and it was scalding hot and impossible to wash your hands. The interior looks like it is not maintained and the service is average. At first we thought we were getting what we paid for but after feeling unwell and the bathroom situation, we can confirm this is one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. The ambiance was alright but only because we sat outside - it would have been bad if we sat inside.

Everything was amazing, incredible table service. Space was okay, but it's really cozy. Cristian was helpful and nice to treat. Brunch menu was really good (especially the waffle). Coffee could be way better tho.

Unfortunately this establishment serves grade school level cafeteria food. The service was poor but the food was even worse. The grilled cheese appeared to be made with wonder bread and Kraft singles. The side salad was about 4 lettuce leaves with some balsamic drizzled on top. The one star is because they served beer and they had a decently clean bathroom.

Cute cafe and food's decent for brunch or lunch, but service is terribly slow. One server for 13 tables. You'll be waiting a lonnnng time.

We met the beautiful young Luna this morning and had yet another delicious meal at the Cafe care of Luna's mother and father who since the day they opened the cafe have maintained such a friendly and tasty time for all customers and you can see it's working by the number of returning customers and smiles on the staff and customers' faces. Keep up the good work ... we'll be back

Nice people, good coffee, clean restaurant and bathroom. Did not try food but smelled great.

Great breakfast spot. French toast is one of the best in WV. Would also recommend the mimosa - huge portions

Wonderful lunch!! We had just left the Hopper Exhibit at the Whitney. It was raining and we were looking for a dry spot for lunch when we stumbled across Luna. It's a very pleasant little breakfast/lunch/brunch café operated by a friendly and gracious Guatemalan. He served us a delicious egg and meat sandwich and fresh salad and Bagel and Loxtalked with us about the life of a Guatemalan in NYC. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

The bagel and lox tastes awesome! Beautiful environment and kind waiters. Generally an awesome place!

The food wasn't bad but TERRIBLE SERVICE! This kid they had serving on Sunday 4/24/22 had no business being on the floor. He was constantly being forgetful. It took forever to get utensils and napkins. And it wasn't even that busy. Believe me. I served in the food and beverage business for nearly 10 years. You're not going to find a more supportive person than me when in comes to servers in restaurants. So for me to post this, yes it was that bad. Honestly it took away from the experience of sitting outside on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in New York. Get another server on Sunday and you may have something of a pleasant experience.
