Lawrence residents Steve Hochthurn, Janette Salisbury and Brian Kalar own and operate Cafe Luna, 620 W.12th St.Cafe Luna will be open 24 hours a day next week to accommodate the student demand for coffee and study tables at during finals week.
Café Luna is the hidden coffee shop on Mount Oread.
For Adam Kaba, Dallas junior, it's the comfortable and artsy atmosphere that draws him to the tiny coffee haven. Local art decorates the walls of Cafe Luna.
"I come in here at least five days a week — sometimes even twice a day," Kaba said. "It's so close to campus. It's also really nice to walk into a place when you know who's working."

"I like the fact that the owners are the baristas," Wood said. "I know I'm getting good service because they own the place."

Because the cafe is hidden from the street, it's surprising how many people stumble upon it. A metal sign is all that's visible from 12th street.
"I guess that most people hear about us from word-of-mouth," Hochthurn said. "It works for us."
