Instead of just eating Tatte in Boston, try this brunch

🥞 Café Luna: Cambridge’s Brunch Staple Near MIT (Worth the Wait) A 2019 "Best of Boston" winner, this casual Cambridge spot serves up hearty breakfasts, sweet-savory combos, and easy access to MIT’s campus. Perfect for post-tour meals or lazy weekends, it’s a reliable pick—even if the lines get long. 🌟 Standout Dishes (Brunch Hits) Waffles & Mango Habanero Wings 🌟🌟🌟🌟 • Crispy, buttery waffles with a slight crunch (not too dense) • Wings: Spicy-sweet mango habanero glaze balances the waffle’s syrup—"salty-sweet harmony" done right • Pro tip: Add a side salad ($8) to sneak in veggies (the menu’s heavy on carbs) Roasted Pear with Bacon & Gorgonzola 🌟🌟🌟🌟 $14 • A classic brunch platter: tender roasted pears, crispy bacon, and tangy blue cheese • Customizable—swap sides (hash browns, toast, or fruit) for a balanced meal • Great for savory breakfast lovers (less sweet than the French toast) 💡 Decent but Not Dazzling Strawberries and Chocolate French Toast 🌟🌟🌟 $15 • Thick, eggy bread with melted chocolate and fresh strawberries • Caveat: Doused in powdered sugar—skip the extra syrup unless you have a sweet tooth • Large enough to share (we left half, even with two people) 🦞 Bonus: Weekend Lobster Specials Word on the street: Saturdays/Sundays feature lobster Benedict or lobster rolls (we haven’t tried them, but locals rave) Worth returning for—lobster + brunch = a New England twist 📍 Practical Details Vibe: • Bright, cozy space with mismatched chairs and MIT memorabilia (great for campus visitors) • Lines form by 10 AM on weekends—arrive early or wait 20–30 mins Parking: • Street spots on Main St (metered, 2-hour limit) • T is easier: Red Line to Central Square, 5-minute walk Price: • $20/person (with a main + coffee) • Portions are huge—leftovers make great next-day snacks 🌟 Final Verdict: 3.8/5 (MIT’s Go-To Brunch Spot) It’s not revolutionary, but Café Luna nails the basics: satisfying food, convenient location, and that "casual Cambridge" vibe. Come for the waffles + wings, stay for the people-watching (MIT students and tourists alike). 🧇 #MITBrunch #CambridgeEats #BostonBreakfast #BrunchBoston #LazyWeekends
