Black Sesame Lava Buns and Dim Sum on the Bowery
A clean Bowery bakery serving soft Chinese breakfast buns, savory dim sum, and molten black sesame lava treats.
Why this stop works ✨
Luna Cafe and Bakery sits on the Bowery at the edge of Chinatown, a clean counter that covers a lot of ground for a small shop. Mornings run on soft Chinese breakfast buns and savory dim sum, with molten black sesame lava treats for anyone chasing something richer.
The kitchen does not stop at pastry. There are noodles and fried rice for a real meal, green sesame balls and sweet Portuguese egg tarts for the sweet tooth, and custom celebration cakes you can pre-order for a party. A full sit-down menu behind the bakery counter is what makes it a stop for more than a quick pastry.
At 4.5 stars across 51 reviews, regulars call out the range, the value, and the tidy room. Go for breakfast, grab the black sesame lava treats warm, and pre-order a cake if you have a party coming up.
