Cafe Luna

Very kind staff and delicious, fresh food & coffee! I got a veggie panini and it was huge for the price with some really tasty, freshly made bread of some kind. Espresso was great as well. Will definitely visit again!

This place is a gem in downtown Carmel. Friendly staff & great service! Luna, the owner, is very charming & makes sure her customers are taken care of. There are many tasty options on the menu from pastries to Ramen. I love the ham & cheese quiche & the chicken Ramen! I definitely recommend Luna Café for locals & visitors alike.

Fantastic cafe in a wonderful location with spacious seating. They did not hold back with the breakfast sandwich; plenty of egg, bacon, cheese, and avocado, with a great toasted bun.

Best Pho I've ever had, and I've eaten A LOT. I go out of my way to eat here. The boba pearls are perfectly cooked and the Pho delicious.

Very fresh food, and kind staff! Highly recommend the delicious turkey panini combo, and super green smoothie.

Pork buns were nice but the breakfast bagel wasn’t good and gave me food poisoning.

I'm traveling with my aging Asian family and we were so happy to discover this place! Ramen was not overly salty and the broth was rich in flavor. Potstickers were a hit with the kids.

I had a situation with billing while dining in here for my husband’s Bday brunch, and my credit card company cant do nothing about it! It was my mistake and i was charged $300 more than anticipated. I was in panic, thats a big overcharge amount!! I called the cafe and a nice lady gave me the owner, LUNA’s phone number. From the moment i started talking to her up to the time i finally got my money back, it was all SINCERE AND KIND answers from her, assuring me of all she can to HELP ME OUT, and return my money which she did and more! She answers my txts even on weekends, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LUNA’s CAFE NOT JUST FOR THERE GREAT FOOD, but most ESP FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL GOODNESS AND SERVICE THAT THE OWNER AND THE ESTABLISHMENT STANDS FOR!! THANK YOU LUNA!

I’ve never experienced racism the way I did at Cafe Luna. My husband and I went on a 10/4. We ordered at the counter and when our food was ready our number was yelled and they rung a bell. Everyone else, all white people, had their meals taken to them. We are not white and did not feel welcomed after this. We observed this with three other tables. In 2021 there is no excuse for this!

Update: it’s been over a year and the owner never bothered replying back, although I see them very active with other reviews. My experience was real and valid. We were not treated equally to other white customers. Your silence is loud!

The food was great. We tried the vegetarian quiche and sesame balls and both were delicious! I would order either again.
The lattes were a bit too mild in flavor for me personally. Not a very strong espresso, mostly tasted like milk. I would probably go elsewhere for espresso drinks.
But for a light snack and maybe other beverages, I would come here! There are lots of courtyard seats or indoor seating as well.
