La Luna Cafe
701 N Phillips Ave, Sioux Falls, SD
Crema's Take
“La Luna Cafe is a stylish Sioux Falls haven where thoughtfully crafted drinks—from their lauded Dirty Chai to creative specialty creations—meet genuinely excellent food, from beautiful waffles to inventive breakfast pizza. The cozy, aesthetically pleasing space draws people in for lingering conversations and meetings, backed by a hands-on owner and staff who clearly care about getting both the coffee and the experience right. Whether you're after espresso precision, matcha tea, or a full breakfast in an atmosphere that actually encourages you to stay awhile, this is where Sioux Falls comes to slow down and savor.”

If you love great vibes & coffee then you’ll absolutely love La Luna Cafe!! I couldn’t get enough of the esthetics, and comfortable, chill atmosphere!! I had their Dirty Chai and it was amazing 🤩 as were their waffles 😋 I also appreciated that the art work displayed by local artists was for sale 🥰 outstanding!!
We really enjoy La Luna Cafe. We appreciate the atmosphere & the food. We were disappointed when we went recently to learn that the wait staff does not keep the credit card tips (maybe this is common place, but we were unaware?!). Also we arrived an hour before close & were nicely informed our meals would be served in to-go containers. We make an effort to not produce extra waste, especially if plastic, like the smoothie to-go cup. Overall we really like your cafe, but just wanted to let you know we found these things to be a bummer. Thanks!
The food here is really great. Good selection of teas (Richi) and coffee as well. Nice people too and the owner is hands-on. You order at the counter when you walk in, then go to a table. It can get busy during peak times.
The food was absolutely delicious! The waffles were not only beautiful but so tasty, and the breakfast pizza was great too. The drinks were gorgeous and perfectly made. My girls and I enjoyed it so much! We’re from Minnesota but will definitely be back. It’s such a cute little spot — perfect for a date or a girls’ day out. The artwork is beautiful, and the whole place has this quaint, bougie vibe with amazing food. Highly recommend!
The interior is clean and comfortable with a nicely constructed style. We experienced several less than ideal transactions, however the experience was not, overall, regrettable. I would recommend saving a cash tip for after your service instead of tipping as you pay, before your food arrives. The coffee was excellent, and skillfully prepared. We were given a rude look for pointing out that the order was entered incorrectly and that the order was for an iced coffee, not a regular one. There is an option to upgrade your order to steak on the avocado toast. When we attempted to do this we were told that was not an option, then we pointed out the option and were told it could be done and finally, we were given chicken instead of steak regardless of the back and forth. Finally, the rice bowl was 17.50, and was not a large serving and had little to substantiate. I witnessed some other patrons who ordered the waffles, which looked amazing. I would order in that direction if you choose to dine here. Overall, likely an off day for service. I do regret tipping so generously as we were unimpressed by the food, and had to buss our own table. Twenty percent on the front end left me feeling a small pitty party for my wallet.
