| - It has taken me a long, long, long time to write this review. To be transparent, I went to Luna's in May, 2015. I try to write reviews that are fair, so it has honestly taken me time (see aforementioned timeline above) for me to unpack my thoughts about my experience.
I went with my sister whom was visiting from California. She's a vegan, so Luna's was to be a high point of her visit restaurant-wise to the Charlotte area. The ambiance of Luna's is great and our server was delightful. We popped in for a late breakfast after a Pilates class on a Saturday, but by the time we were seated, they had stopped serving breakfast by like 2 minutes. And no, ordering breakfast wasn't a choice at that point because I asked. I had actually really wanted breakfast too, so that started me off on a bad note. I ended up ordering the living bagel along with the purple rain juice. The juice was fantastic, and I can see why they are so popular.
The bagel looked beautiful in presentation, and was pretty darn tasty until I pulled a black wiry curly hair out of my mouth that was enmeshed in my bite of food. I have blonde hair, so it definitely wasn't my hair in my food. Further digging in the bagel revealed another strand of hair. I am guessing that "living" part of the name doesn't imply protein filament from the human head. That honestly turned me off so bad that I couldn't finish my meal. I didn't make a big deal of it at the time we were there, but that's because I didn't want to bother our nice server who was super busy.
I think it is definitely fair to say that I am not heading back to Luna's again.
