Cafe Luna - A Fusion of Asian Flavors in Carmel-By-The-Sea

Excellent service, very friendly people, and nice seating. Will be coming back on my next trip!

Great location and amazing food! We enjoyed shrimp pot stickers and pesto chicken penne - both the best we have ever had. Given it is a small, casual place, we didn't expect the quality of the food, and would definitely visit again next time we are in Carmel!

Amazing service! Fantastic high quality coffee. Delicious cheesecake & almond croissant, I'll be visiting again soon.

We found this place through a TikTok video for when we visited Carmel. We ordered a mocha, white mocha, and two breakfast burritos. My sister ordered almond croissant and the breakfast sandwich. The almond croissant was the stand out but everything was delicious. Their giant chocolate cookies are super soft and sweet, but their drinks are just right and not too sweet. The atmosphere is very clean and unique from the lighting to the chairs and tables. The service was super friendly and accommodating, we will return.

Two words: Sooooo Gooood--try the Chicken Potstickers. Worth the wait. On top of that, Cafe Luna is a great Carmel people watching place! Relax and enjoy!

I came here for the breakfast sushi and was not disappointed! We also got a breakfast sandwich and that was also good. Truth, if anything stop here for the sushi it was something new and delicious!

Cafe Luna is right on the corner of first floor when you enter Carmel Plaza from Mission. We needed a quick bite and it fit the bill. We also wanted outdoor seating and it was perfect for our toddler to explore the area with a little fountain. A kind man took our order and our food was promptly brought to our table. We got the breakfast burrito and Asian chicken plate and wow - the seasoning was in point, and chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. Even my picky toddler ate well. While there are many offerings at Carmel-by-the-Sea this one didn't definitely didn't disappoint. Bonus - They gave us milk with a plastic straw!! I was so happy it wasn't paper, which disintegrates and then my kid ends up chewing and eating.

I came to this aesthetically pleasing cafe with my friends Monday morning and was warmly greeted by Mike. I ordered an iced matcha and small cheesecake topped with the freshest blueberries. My friends ordered a danish and the chicken pesto panini. All of our food and desserts were delicious and filling. The matcha wasn't the best but I think Mike's friendly service, the food, and the pretty area makes up for it!

I ordered the Kimchi and Beef Ramen and it was delicious! The beef, melted in my mouth it was tender and cooked to perfection. The broth was an explosion of flavor, the perfect blend of spicy and savory. The Kimchi was the perfect mix of tangy, spicy, and crunchy. I'm going to have to make special trips to Carmel for this Ramen! My friend and I split the potstickers they were not traditional, there was corn in there! They too were delicious and the spicy hummus like sauce was ridiculously good, honestly I could have eaten that on its own! My friend got an Acia bowl, the bowl came with the smoothest Acia I have ever had! It was topped with house made vanilla granola, fresh blueberries and strawberries. We were informed that the food was cooked to order and there would be about a 13 min wait, I think that is amazing and the food and service was worth every minute of the wait! My friend, Lady Holly and I sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful foliage while feasting on the magnificent food.

Depends on the hour during weekend customers traffic, the iced beverage could take 25-30 mins because its a mom and pop cafe. Oatmeal cookie was beyond heaven, delicioso.
