Cafe Luna is that fun neighborhood hangout where you can grab an espresso and read the paper or enjoy a great Sunday brunch just a hop, skip and a short jump away from all Dupont Circle and Downtown have to offer. Featuring Mediterranian and Italian specialties at very affordable prices, Cafe Luna remains a favorite city dining destination.

Our menu features an extensive offering of delicious pastas, pizzas, sandwiches and salads. Located just below Skewers Restaurant, Cafe Luna also offers a multitude of veggie and vegan options as well as dishes prepared for the health-conscious in mind. Our desserts, including our renowned Chocolate Volcano Cake, (voted one of the best desserts in Washington) is sinfully good.
