Comment: This place is purrfect for a great bite to eat and some Cat Therapy.The food was Phenomenal as well as the friendly service staff.The cat room is a great way to get a kitty fix all while giving the adoptable furbabies some pets and interaction.. truly a win win for all involved. I will say this.. Flapjack has my heart. What an incredibly sweet girl in a tiny body. I have no idea how she could still be there.. someone go adopt this pint sized princess, she deserves it. ❤️

Comment: We finally tried out Luna Cafe. For those of you that dont know this is a Japanese inspired restaurant and cat Cafe. You can order food in one area and then pay to play in a room full of cat, some of which are adoptable!We got boba tea, first picture is of their Smore boba tea, which had actual marshmallows in it and was fantastic.Then we shared the Okonomiyaki pizza, the chicken takoyaki, and their cake-oyaki with chocolate sauce. Everything was delicious!! Then we played with the cats and that was of course wonderful.You can tell that the cats and the cat room is really well taken care of and very clean.

Comment: I travel for business pretty frequently and rarely find the time to relax. The Luna Cat Cafe is the perfect place to take some time to chill among the friendliest cats (and people) in town! Highly recommend!!

Comment: This is a cute little cafe with the addition of a cat room. Each of their cats are rescues and the cat room allows you to interact, play, and learn more about each cat. As we all know, cats have distinct personalities, and the room provides an opportunity to see which cat you get along with. We went to pet some cute cats and drink some boba tea and had a nice experience!

Comment: Staff are a bit too awkward! But the cats are soooo cute. We paid to stay for half an hour but then ended up staying for a whole hour! My 1 year nephew loved the cats & we decided its time to adopt one for him!

Comment: The staff/volunteers at Luna Cafe are incredible & so nice! On top of friendly service, the atmosphere of the cafe is very relaxed and quiet, the drinks we got were amazing. I can’t wait to go back, sit down, have food & as an extra bonus, kittys!If you haven’t heard of them yet, they are a small corner cafe on East Fayette Street near downtown. They’ve got a great menu & for an extra fee you can go in the back room to socialize and play with the cats! If a cat friend takes a liking to you they are also up for adoption!This quickly made my list of favorite places to go in Syracuse & after you try them out I’m sure it’ll make yours too! 😊❤️

Comment: From the silent traveler to all of you, be well, be safe, be positive. This place is in a safe location it is near the college campus. The atmosphere is very Zen style. The cats are in a separate room from the dining area there is a fee but it is one that is well worth your time and the value you get from being around the cats. Very relaxing you can take your drink in with you while visiting the cats. The food really really good authentic prepare fresh and ready to go. The staff was very helpful and helping me decide what things to try out grateful first timers meeting with friends and a great first date as well as a second date. A great place for anniversary families will enjoy this.

Comment: Pretty wholesome and tasty experience! The oyakodon I had tasted almost identical to the food my mom used to make me when I was growing up. Loved spending time with the cats as well!

Comment: Brought my friends oldest kid for some quality dinner and quality time together. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. We had a great time both with the kitties and in the dining room. Also apparently sometimes they have events with challenges where you can earn points that you can use for rewards. Wasnt an event the night we went but sounds like fun!

Comment: Literally the best experience. The cats are adorable and so sweet and the workers were really nice too. You can go in and get a drink and then pay to chill with kitties for as long as youd like. Will definitely be back!! Everyone should go check it out if you love kitties! Also very much recommend the passionfruit tea and the taro tea. Super good teas and the space was very well taken care of as well!

Comment: An actual Japanese cat cafe? You bet!I can’t review any food but their boba was tasty. Love their double boba cup so much, it’s helpful if you want to try their flavors faster and for us indecisive people.You can take drinks into the cat room but no food. If you want to meet the kitties you pay at the counter for however long you want, you sign a waiver and they check you in.The whole restaurant is cozy and homey, but the cat room is awesome! The space and toys and variety the cats have is so great (you can even see them from the window and give them cat TV)!There’s social kitties, shy ones, kittens, and actual senior babies; there’s so many adoptables. Let them come to you, they’re learning!Truly the best spot for cat people!

Comment: Let me start off by saying this is one of my favorite places to go. The staff are the sweetest things around (yes the cats), and the humans there are ok, too, I guess :-). The smores boba is to die for! The person that served me today was their first day behind the counter. They were so kind and let me know that they are training. Ive been here numerous times and since it was their first day, I wouldnt complain if something went wrong. Looking at the recent review by another reviewer, they had a bad experience but apparently didnt care that things can go wrong and should have said something. I am sure they would have corrected the issue on the spot because that is how Luna Cafe is. They care about their customers, especially as a small business.Good food and product sometimes take time. Its not a fast food place, its a restaurant, and a pretty good one at that.Give this place a go and you wont be disappointed. The okonomiyaki pizza is my favorite item, but the onigiri is amazing too.Stop in and say hi to their cats and adopt one if you can!

Comment: I really LOVE the personality of this place! Would definitely recommend!The professionalism of the staff was good.The food and drinks were amazing!I loved the chilli and their chicken as well; very impressive!The only thing taking away my comfort (and preventing this rating from being a 5-star) is the cleanliness of the place. Don’t get me wrong. The food preparation surfaces and serving and eating surfaces were all clean. The floors, walls, and other surfaces were really gross. It’s also in a really ugly part of town, but that’s not their fault. In summary, this place rocks and you should tell your friends about it.

Comment: Luna Cafe is my favorite cafe in all of Syracuse. I pop in here for all sorts of visits, and they are so accommodating! Whether it be for a bubble tea to go, take out order, stay and eat, hang out with the kitties, or chill time with my friends and playing board games, Luna Cafe truly hits the mark on all these things. I love that they bring their take on authentic Japanese food creations to the area, and that they host incredibly fun events where I can cosplay! The staff are wonderful and kind humans, and are always helpful when it comes to addressing food allergies and preferences.I’ll be honest, if anyone reading this knows about Roji tea house and how they closed down permanently right after the Covid shutdowns, that really affected me to my core. It was my haven for a chill and relaxed place to hang out, eat/drink and hang out with friends. I was devastated. When I heard about Luna opening through their Instagram posts and passing by frequently (I was working around the corner from there), I was intrigued but still broken hearted about Roji. I decided to just check out Luna one day just to see what it was like once it was open. I am so glad I did. They aren’t Roji, but they are truly amazing in their own right. They really are a stellar and comforting place, and while I will always mourn the loss of Roji, my heart is healing knowing that I have found a wonderful space in Syracuse that is making my heart whole again.My only regret with writing this review is that once word gets out how freaking amazing this place is, that it will be crowded with lines out the door. And while that is optimal for business, I personally just prefer its mid-range popularity now (; but in all seriousness, do yourself a favor and check out Luna. Be it for the drinks, food, events, kitties, fantastic staff, or all of the above, you will be truly happy that you’ve patronized this hidden gem in Syracuse.Luna Cafe, I wish you nothing but absolute smashing success in this city, and I truly hope your cafe is a permanent fixture here.

Comment: First time here today, and I loved it!! Everything was so cuteeee! A wonderful menu with some vegan options! The cats were great, I wanted to take them all home lol. Super nice service also! I will definitely be returning. My only critique is the fluorescent / bright overhead lights, would love to have it taken down just a notch. But overall a great experience! ❤️
