    Good food, good coffee and friendly staff. Very easy place to grab breakfast in St Michael's

    Iced coffee, raspberry matcha whoopie pie. View from the couches.

    Solid lox bagel sandwich w delicious dill cream cheese! Yummy raspberry matcha whoopie pie that goes great with ice coffee. Very cute interior and we love the logo. A nice couch sitting area at the back. Outdoor seating too! Nice local items for sale and local art on the walls. Helpful, friendly, and quick counter service!

    Adorable coffee shop in a quaint setting! It's just off the Main Street and also offers a nice food menu. We were there for a late breakfast and ordered the egg and cheese on an English muffin. Ultimately very simple but it was nicely done and very tasty--cheesy, fluffy eggs! I ordered a chai latte as well and added it pumpkin flavoring. It was delicious! A slightly less rich chai, but still with nice flavors! They have ample seating inside and service is quick and friendly!

    Visiting this historic town and after walking through town stopped here for a bite to eat for lunch. I had one of the BEST BLT sandwiches I've ever enjoyed! The bread was perfect for this kind of sandwich...firm, chewy and big slices. The tomatoes tasted like they came right out of the garden and the generous amount of bacon was complimented by the lettuce and perfect amount of mayonnaise. Yum! If the rest of the food served here is anything like my sandwich it will be a winner for all who visit this treasure one block off Talbot St near Railroad!

    Surprisingly good coffee! I picked up an iced latte with their house-made lavender syrup and a blueberry muffin- both were delicious. They also sell pastries from Gluten Free Bakery Girl! Worth a visit

    Unassuming back alley coffee and sandwich joint with a mellow vibe

    With the caveat that this is $$$ prices for bagelwiches and small snacks, this is a great little spot that made us feel welcomed and relaxed. The Maryland bagel (salmon, crab, and Old Bay creamcheese) was interesting, and we complimented that with a NY bagel sandwich and some backed items. The layout inside looks intriguing for music -- the stage is at one end, and a small bar area/coffee counter, I can imagine this would be a beloved local coffee house scene off-season. The historic building is a nice plus for the experience. We had snappy and friendly service at the counter, albeit at the end of the business day (1:40 PM with a 2 PM closing time). There was plenty of outdoor seating available on a nice day, almost too nice; we stuck inside to avoid the direct sun on an unseasonably warm spring day. But if you're looking for a little mellow outdoor café experience, here's your place.

    Great spot for breakfast and lunch on the Eastern Shore! For a coffee shop, they definitely have robust food options. The lavender coffee left more to be desired as it almost tasted soapy. However, the Maryland Bagel and Chorizo Tortilla were amazing! As a fan of Old Bay seasoning, I was excited to try their Maryland Bagel with Old Bay cream cheese and it paired extremely well with the salmon. If you love breakfast burritos, the Chorizo Tortilla definitely won't disappoint. If you are stopping in or passing by Saint Michaels, Blue Crab Coffee is a delicious breakfast option!

    Decent coffee, great service! Today's coffee and tea were excellent. I appreciated the positive, upbeat energy of the barista!

    Was a great little spot for breakfast and they had gluten free options as well. The atmosphere was cool and the coffee and food were both very good. Could easily return here multiple mornings and not be bored by the choices.

    Cute place and very clean

    With the new ownership, I feel that the place is very much lacking. The menu is severely lacking variety now. It's fine just for coffee.

    Wow! What an experience. I planned a surprise bday weekend for my SO and took him to Ruse as our…read morefinal meal - it did not disappoint. Coming from someone who is not easily impressed by fine dining, my SO said it was the best meal he's ever had. We had the scallop crudo (chef's kiss), an array of oysters, the corn ribs and pea salad (both were unreal), and I went with the trout and he had the burger. The trout was amazing. So fresh and perfectly cooked but honestly the burger really stole the show. It was the perfect cheeseburger - like something I remember from my childhood but somehow better. It tastes like nostalgia. Overall, amazing spot with great vibes. Money, time, and calories well spent.

The seafood was excellent. We loved the oysters and the tuna sushi that you roll yourself--it was fun and delicious. The potato chips with Iberian ham and manchego were incredible and one of the most memorable bites of the night. Service was outstanding. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The desserts were also fantastic. The labneh ice cream was completely out of this world, and the olive oil cake was excellent as well. A couple of small notes: the endive salad wasn't our favorite because it was covered in onions, which wasn't mentioned and unfortunately I really dislike onions. Also, the pork chop tasted amazing but we did notice toward the end that part of it was a bit undercooked. That said, overall the meal was excellent and we had a really great time. Definitely a memorable dining experience in St. Michaels.

I had 1 pancake with bananas and chocolate chips and chipped beef gravy on top. A little unusual, but oh so good! Pancake was huge. Brought it back to our room and nibbled on it all night. Leaving today, but going to stop at C's on the way out for breakfast! Summer of 2026

    After spending the afternoon wandering through the shops in St. Michaels on my first-ever visit to…read moretown, I found myself craving one thing for dinner. A really good burger. Actually...a really good burger with crab dip on it. Naturally, I started searching for somewhere that could satisfy both cravings at once and landed on Carpenter Street Saloon, a laid-back local watering hole that's been serving up food, drinks and good times in the heart of St. Michaels for decades. Their menu had both burgers and crab dip, but not together. Challenge accepted! I arrived around 4:30pm on a Friday during Fourth of July weekend and somehow managed to snag the very last parking spot in their small lot. Even better, as I walked inside, a booth just inside the front door opened up. The adventure gods were clearly looking out for me! The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. Folks were gathered around the bar enjoying drinks, conversations filled the room and absolutely nobody cared that I had wandered in by myself for dinner. Sometimes that's exactly the kind of place you need after a long day of adventuring. I studied the menu for approximately three seconds before asking my waitress what I assumed would be a ridiculous question. "Could I get a burger...with crab dip on it?" Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, "Absolutely! We actually used to have that on the menu, but nobody ordered it." I couldn't stop grinning! "Well," I replied, "I'm somebody...and I want it for dinner tonight!" One more vacation victory! For $16.00, my custom Bay Burger arrived piled high with rich, creamy crab dip and melted cheese dripping over the thick burger patty exactly as I'd imagined it. It was everything I'd hoped it would be! Juicy burger. Creamy crab dip. Gooey cheese. The combination just...worked! In fact...it worked so well that I briefly considered ordering another one before remembering I still had dessert plans later that evening. (Responsible Adult Alexis eventually won that internal debate.) I chose the coleslaw as my side, and while the flavor was really good, it was a little drier than I personally prefer. That's entirely a preference thing, though. If you're someone who likes a less creamy coleslaw, this one will probably be right up your alley. My Diet Pepsi was $4.00, bringing my total to just $21.20 before tip. Honestly, for a custom burger loaded with crab dip in the middle of one of Maryland's busiest holiday weekends, I thought that was an excellent value. Carpenter Street Saloon isn't trying to be fancy. It's comfortable. It's welcoming. It's the kind of neighborhood bar where locals and visitors alike can settle in, enjoy a great meal and relax for a while. If you're visiting St. Michaels and find yourself craving a burger, do yourself a favor...ask them to bring back the crab dip burger. Apparently nobody orders it. Except me. And now hopefully you!

The view is definitely the best thing about this restaurant, but that's where the positives end. I ordered the seafood stew, and it was unbelievably oily--so much so that I couldn't finish it. The seafood soup tasted like something that came straight out of a can. Ironically, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was the cheapest item we ordered, yet it ended up being the best dish on the table. The service was also very disappointing. There were hardly any other customers around, yet our server was extremely slow and rarely checked on us. Even when we were clearly trying to get the check, we waited forever. Meanwhile, we could hear staff laughing and chatting in the kitchen, but no one seemed interested in helping customers. To make matters worse, there were flies everywhere throughout the restaurant, and no one appeared to be doing anything about it. It made the dining experience even less enjoyable. Overall, the waterfront setting is beautiful, but the food quality, service, and cleanliness issues outweighed the view. We won't be returning and would not recommend it based on our experience.

Also tried the famous crab dip and it was SO good. Maybe it was all the butter but it was my favorite by far. I also tried their fish tacos which were citrusy and fresh. The views were amazing and you can watch the yachts pull up and boats go by.
