Luna Cafe

When the waitress try to kick you out twice when the place is empty claiming that she needs the table now, hummm … Hard to feel welcome and motivated to ever go back to that place again even if the coffee is great and the food was decent. Customer service 101!

Disappointed in the service, or should I say lack of service.
The waitress was completely indifferent.
The salmon scrambler w greens was good. Salad needed seasoning.
I only wanted water w my meal but was never asked if I wanted a coffee or anything else after my meal. Which I did. I’d heard their Americano was good.
She never even spoke to me again until I was cashing out (with the chef as no bill ever arrived)… asking if I needed a receipt.
I refused to leave a tip. I always tip 20% for good service… Nothing for bad.

Perfect neighbourhood brunch restaurant. I recently moved in next to the Luna café and was extremely happy that someone suggested it to me. The small cozy restaurant is perfect for fall lunches. Service was great even though the place was packed and there was only one server on.
Would love to try everything on the menu.
Will be back!

Not your average breakfast/​brunch. Our dishes were highly creative, locally sourced and delicious. It wasn’t overly pricey either.
My tip is to skip Luna if you’re looking for a conventional breakfast, but do come when you’re feeling more adventurous.

This place is great. Takes only debit and cash. The food was great very inventive and yummy.
Reason for 1 star: hygiene. The cooks don’t practice proper hand washing procedures.
Neither does the cashier. She was handling money on minute and taking ice out of a bag with her bare hands the next.
I sadly realized all this after I started eating.
Bummer, I had high hopes.

New favorite breakfast spot!
How have I never come here?
— The food is super delicious
— The coffee is great (very important)
— The service is quick and friendly
— The atmosphere is warm and has an old school vibe to it.
— Close walk from my home if you live in the Queen West area
— The patio is lovely to sit on and faces onto a lovely quiet intersection.
— The best part about this breakfast spot is that it is completely affordable for the kind of care they put into their food
I would always walk or drive pass this place thinking it was just a cute coffee shop but it is way more than that it. The majority of the food is locally grown or organic, the eggs are free-​run, and the breakfast wrap was probably the best combination of ingredients I’ve ever had.
I will DEFINITELY be coming back again!

Got into brunch this morning at 11:30 and was pleasantly happy to find street parking close by and no line up at Luna.
They have a small patio so we opted to sit out there as it does get a bit hot inside with the kitchen being in the open space.
The server was very nice and pleasant. Crowd was great for a Sunday morning.
I ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict and it was delicious! Perfect eggs (I love my yolk runny!) and the English Muffin — actually I’m
Pretty sure it was more of a biscuit which is why it was to die for. I … Hmmm I can’t even type this properly cause I’m being teleported back to the texture, it was soft but crispy on the outside and packed with flavour but not annoyingly overpowering. It comes with side of greens and potatoes. Usually I’m disappointed with wedges and potatoes at brunch places but this one made it perfect. How is this possible?
My only caveat is that the food did take long to come out but it’s a small operation, the food prep takes time once you see the charm of the place. If you are in a rush think twice but if u are having a lazy Sunday catching up with a bestie — come here!
Price point is typical for down town. 2 eggs Benny and 1 Americans ran us up to $ 35 before tips.
Will be back!!!

This was a lovely brunch spot. It’s tucked right under a beautiful old brick house on dovercourt. There’s just a few tables in a small space that looks quite cozy and café like. On nice days, they hAve a little patio facing dovercourt which is lovely for brunch. It closes pretty early so it’s definitely better for a coffee or breaky. Prices are great seeing that you can get salmon and eggs or steak for only 11 – 13 dollars and it comes w a side of toast and salad. It’s a nice hardy breakfast to start your day with. The coffee they served was a great brew with it was delicious flavour. It is really small so it probably will be packed on weekends and a bit of a wait. But definitely worth it. Overall it was such a nice, comfortable experience and I’ll definitely be back for my caffeine fix or lounging breakfast.

Great neighborhood café, with a lovely patio. My wife enjoyed a terrific scramble wrap with the most delicious mushrooms and gruyère. Coffee was good and the service was both friendly and efficient! Going back tomorrow!

The food was perfect! Had lunch here with a friend last week. I had the smoked salmon, avocado and poached egg with sourdough bread side and my friend had the French breakfast thing with Brie, sausage and sourdough. All of which were very tasty. And good coffee too! Will 100% be back

Had the salmon eggs Benedict which was very good. The hollandaise wasn’t so overpowering and it was very light. Really enjoy the atmosphere of the place and the staff. Recommended to anyone who likes a cozy place to have breakfast.

Holy crap is this place ever cute.
I’m moving a whole three blocks away from where I live now (into a fabulous full house, braggity brag), but as we Torontonians know, three blocks makes a huge difference. Where is my new go to coffee shop? Where is my new go to convenience store? Where is my new go to breakfast place… ding ding ding! Luna is my new breakfast place. Fewf, I can check that one off the list.
Since today was my first time at Luna, I had already eaten before coming (like a numpty), so I just grabbed a juice and a snack to go… but holy hell! I will be back for beautiful plates of eggs, locks and pancakes. What a fantastic neighbourhood find.

Came here today with a friend and absolutely love it. It’s a little gem off to the side of the Ossington strip, so you have to go out of the way a bit but it’s worth it.
Had the smoked salmon, avocado with dill. Almost half of my plate was spread with the smoked salmon which made the dish worth it, although a bit more on the pricey end.
The place is really cute, kept clean and nice. The washroom is honestly a closet. You walk in and the sink is already all up in your personal bubble.
The waitresses aren’t as attentive as in don’t fill your water every 5 minutes. But keep in mind it’s a café, so that was okay.
Otherwise, it’s definitely a great brunch place to try when around the area!

As always I start with the vibe and I would describe it as basic hipster meets vintage flea market finds. Nothing wrong with it but also nothing you would post to Pinterest. The place was run by a staff of two. One cooks and one serves. The service was quick and friendly. The menu is broad enough to match most tastes but those looking for a traditional breakfast should look elsewhere. I settled on what was describe as a French breakfast — two free range eggs, baguette with Brie, organic sausage and greens with a latte on the side. One thing I think a great breakfast place should do right is eggs. If you order over-​easy you shouldn’t get over-​hard which is exactly what I received. It’s a small thing but important to get right. The baguette was perfectly toasted and the Brie was fresh and slightly warm — delicious. The sausage was not my favorite but it wasn’t a deal breaker. There is a broader brunch menu on the weekend. I’ll give this place another chance!

So delicious and tasty! My friend lives nearby and we were about to enjoy our warm 5 minute walk here. Great service and the food is so good. I had the smoked salmon and every bite was amazing!
Price-​wise a bit higher than normal breakfast, but worth it! Small restaurant so I imagine it can get crowded on weekends. Only a few tables available! We ate and were in and out pretty fast though!

My new favorite café in Toronto. The food is really excellent, and it’s got an unpretentious, warm, vibe. Smoked salmon breakfast was delicious, and they have an excellent section of tea, great coffee, and big wooden tables with lots of light.

I really like this place. It’s my kinda café. The owner is pretty nice. It’s just unfortunate one of the waitresses doesn’t realize a smile goes a long way. I swear I have never seen her smile, I feel like I have to spit my order out fast so she doesn’t get more pissed than she already seems to be. Aside from her, the place is awesome. They have free run eggs. Breakfast is the bomb and they make a good soup.

Came in for a leisurely coffee on the patio. Excellent Americano and such great service. Though I didn’t eat, the menu looks great. Can’t wait to come in for breakfast.

The good:
Its very pretty, and somewhat secluded. The food is decent which is to say I probably won’t remember what I had there if you were to ask me in a week. They have basic food, sandwiches and wraps. You could find similar items at just about any café.
The bad:
Its a bit pricy for what you get. A sandwich with side salad and a smoothie is going to run you about $ 20. There are other places in the area where that $ 20 will get you better food.
The ugly:
It is unreasonably slow. They have only 2 burners (a fact they do not disclose until you complain about the wait). Myself, and those at tables near me waited more than half hour for simple dishes during lunch service. It is unacceptable to have an empty table for so long. I’m afforded the freedom of deciding my own schedule, but if I worked for any normal company I would be very late returning to work.

Luna Café is a small restaurant in our ‘hood at Dovercourt/​Argyle.
I wandered in one Sunday morning when I first moved here ten years ago. I checked out the menu. I’m not a big breakfast person and everything looked fancy … no basic bacon and eggs … so I left without ordering.
Gord and I checked it out this morning. It’s in the corner of a building … it looks like it used to be a variety store.
Gord ordered poached eggs and peameal bacon on an English muffin with Hollandaise sauce. It came with potatoes and mixed greens. It was about $ 13.
I ordered buttermilk pancakes. It came with warm seasonal fruit (blueberries, pears and bananas) and organic yogurt. It was about $ 10. The yogurt is supposed to be on the pancakes … I asked for it on the side instead. It was delicious and I ate everything but the yogurt.
It’s a small place and holds about 30 people. We got there about 10am … it was jammed by 11am. Service was so-​so … that’s okay if you aren’t in a rush.
I’d go back again, especially in the summer when the patio opens.
