Crema's Take

Luna Cafe is a bright spot in Chicago where exceptional espresso drinks meet genuinely cared-for food, from chilaquiles with vibrant salsa verde to fresh pasta and gluten-free pancakes in development. The owner's warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a spacious, unhurried environment where people linger over coffee and conversation rather than rushing through—exactly the kind of place where a quick caffeine stop becomes a full breakfast experience. Whether you're after traditional or Mexican-origin coffees, or you want to discover why regulars rave equally about the greens and the vibes, Luna feels like the kind of neighborhood gem that actually lives up to its hype.

Just popped in for a quick coffee, ended up staying for breakfast. The coffee was great, the chilaquiles were phenomenal, great salsa verde! And the vibes... A real coffee shop, very chill vibes, very clean and spacious. I will definitely be coming back!

The young man who always works there (the owner? Manager?) is always so friendly and helpful! Nice selection of traditional and Mexican coffees, espresso drinks and food. Nice large space, plenty of seating and great for reading, studying or catching up with friends. Definitely want to explore the whole menu as everything sounds delicious!

All of their food is amazing! Super friendly staff, especially the owner :) They’re even about to start offering gluten free pancakes (which the owner let me taste test for the first time today— and I’ve got to say… delectable!!!) If you’re reading this, take my word for it. I value quality over quantity. In this day and dire times, we need more warmth and gratitude. I think it’s one of the most important things, and that’s why I’ll continue giving my business to these wonderful people. Many thanks for reading!

Everybody talks about the brunch and coffee, but this place is an awesome place to get your greens too !! We had the pesto pasta and Luna Salad today, and both were fresh flavor explosions!! Higher quality than an expensive restaurant downtown and super friendly staff and ownership. We're so lucky to live within walking distance of this gem!!

Honestly super happy with the service we got, we usually don’t see that type of service often, they were kind and genuine. Food was great loved the sauce with my fries, the sandwiches/wraps were really good, we ordered a chai tea latte and an horchata latte, chai was great, i really liked the horchata latte but the only thing i would say it’s slightly more thick than i would have wanted it to be but overall flavor was great. Highly recommend it here.
