in the beginning.

Maple Walnut and Salted Carmel Macaroons are the cappuccino's best friend

It is only fair that my first post is dedicated to the place where it all began. I first noticed Luna Bakery & Cafe on my way back from downtown. As I rounded the corner from Cedar to Fairmount, I noticed this cute little bakery tucked into the line of shops. When I got back to school, I started a little list (I told you I love lists...you will see) in my phone. This list started as coffee shops to try. As I mentioned in my About Me page, I am on the HUNT for a perfect cappuccino.
While the cappuccino here is a bit frothy for my liking, it was still delicious. And I suppose it does fall under the American definition of a cappuccino. However, I have a feeling the latte may closer to what I am looking for. Stay tuned as my search continues......

Luna has the charm of a French bakery or pastry shop and the menu is perfect. Homemade soups, crusty fresh bread, and a variety of sweet or savory crepes. So far I have tried one of each, a Fresh Mozarella, Turkey, Basil Pesto and Tomato Buckwheat Crepe and the Crepe Au Natural with Cinnamon Sugar and Maple Syrup. The pastries are delicious as determined by my sampling of the Almond Croissant and Whole Grain Croissant. As you may have guessed, Luna has turned out to be a popular spot for me to return to. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend or spend the afternoon reading. I plan to do a few more pieces on Luna in the coming weeks, but for now I'll leave you to drool over the delicious Curry Tomato Carrot Soup with a dollop of Lemon Crème Fraîche

So maybe leaving your mouth watering wasn't fair. Here is the website so you can get yourself a crepe...or two.
