    Cap'n Crunch French Toast
    Jemila P.

    Our family enjoyed a pleasant experience at Blue Moon Cafe. Upon stepping inside we felt warmly welcomed by the staff and were informed of the freshly-baked cinnamon rolls and the infamous Cap'n Crunch French Toast and Sweet Baby Jesus hash browns. We tried a combination of items from turkey sausage to chocolate chip pancakes to French toast to Full Moon Breakfast. Each item was ample and delicious - we all left stuffed and satisfied. My choice was the Churro French toast; cinnamon-topped whipped cream, crispy/caramelized top and edges with fresh fruit on top was beautifully made. They fully deserve another feature on the Food Network! The restaurant is first-come, first-served so be prepared for a brief wait. Blue Moon Cafe is a definite must-try again.

    I visited the Blue Moon Cafe the first morning I spent in Fells Point and it was absolutely fantastic! I ordered 2 scrambled eggs, French toast, turkey sausages and an extra side of hash browns and it was amazing. The hash browns were to die for! I would absolutely come back next time I'm in the area. I highly recommend this place. If you come early enough there's no wait so I suggest coming before 9am.

    I see why this place has such a long line on the weekends! We initially came here on a Saturday for brunch but the wait time was ~1h so we didn't stay. Tried again for Friday late lunch and got seated immediately. Limited indoor seating in a small cozy space and even less outdoor seating. Friendly, standard service. We got the Captain Crunch French Toast and Chorizo & Eggs (comes with hashbrown, tortilla, salsa), which were both delicious and some of the best brunch food I've had in Baltimore. Hope to be back!

    Blue Moon Cafe was recommended to us by my sister while our family was in town for a graduation celebration, and it ended up being a great brunch spot. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, so we had about a 30 minute wait, but it was worth it. We ordered the G&G Country Scramble, Sweet Baby Jesus, Cap'n Crunch French Toast, and the spicy crab, tomato, and pepper jack dish. The menu definitely has a Southern-style Maryland feel with things like crab, biscuits and gravy, and grits throughout. Portions are huge, and the food was rich, comforting, and very filling. We absolutely needed a nap afterward. The Cap'n Crunch French Toast was perfect to share for the table. I recommend eating it first while it is still crispy on the outside. Our table favorite was the G&G Country Scramble, followed closely by the Sweet Baby Jesus. I also tried the homemade lemonade and it was delicious. Service was great and the whole place had a warm, family-style atmosphere. One helpful thing to note, a 20% gratuity is automatically included on bills over $50, and they do not split checks. There were signs posted, but mentioning it here in case it helps others planning to visit.

    I have been hearing about this place for years and was so excited to finally experience it. It didn't disappoint. I had the captain crunch French toast and it was heavenly. Probably the best French toast I've ever eaten. Seating is limited but we got there early so thankfully we didn't have to wait to be seated. The staff were very friendly and the food came out quickly. The outside and inside was really pretty. I would love to go back.

    My first time at the original. Just as great as the location in Federal Hill....maybe even better. Smaller location, but if you get there early, you can sit right down. The service here is excellent. I can't remember her name offhand now, but she was witty, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food? Like I said about their other location, no matter what else you get, getting a homemade cinnamon roll is a must.

    Their space is smaller, but you don't need a lot of room to make great food! The pictures I've seen don't really do the menu justice. Great food from top to bottom! Everything was delicious, especially the Churro French toast! We were going to get some fresh baked cinnamon rolls, but the table beside us snagged the last few. Get them if you can! Our waitress held the restaurant down! She was the life of the morning! Because it's smaller inside, there was quite a wait, but they run like a well oiled machine getting parties in and out! They're definitely worth a visit!

    Solid 3. Crab omelet was excellent. We drove 60 min, waited 45 minutes not an issue, biscuit & gravy good taste but barely luke warm. Ham & cheese omelette - ham was dry and grissely, hash browns so hot it burnt our mouth. Server wasn't funny or loud, no play on words or even jokey. No offered refills on water. No bread options. I wanted toast and she said they don't offer toast. So that's why I'm I got cold biscuits & gravy. $70 for 2 with tip. Was it worth it. Probably yes. But a solid 3

    Shut The Fluff Up French Toast
    Dave A.

    SHUT THE FLUFF UP! SO GOOOOD!!! We were in Baltimore with a few hours to spare in the morning, so what to do?!? First thing that comes to mind is... crab for breakfast! Ok yelp, show me watcha gat!!! Oh, AND Open Early! Unfortunately, we have just a few options pop up (Wha?!? REALLY?!? It's Baltimore, aren't they famous for crab?!?), so we choose to hit Blue Moon Cafe! Yelp directions are on point and only street parking from what we can see. We brave the brisk chilly breeze of early May to get to the cafe... BRRRR!!! Inside motif has a dark theme to it and small patronage area. Per the lovely Nicki who greeted us, Blue has been on Food Network a few times... DDD, Best Things I Ever Ate & Destination FOOD... so settin' the bar HIGH from the start! Ok, okay I dig the confidence!! Menu is via QR code but Nicki, becuz she's fun, excitedly announces the recs to the newbies, which are Sweet Baby Jesus & Cap'n Crunch French Toast. Thanks for the heads up! Sweet Baby has lump Crab in the dish so that's a confident YES! for that, but I spy something more appealing than Cap'n Crunch... Let's EAT! SWEET BABY JESUS!: Wifey and I wanted crab and this was Blue's big gun! So YES! To The Dish! It may appear as a simple Hash Brown dish but it is so much GLORIOUS than that! To start, Hash browns are browned & crisped perfectly and then the angel's touch happens... lump crab (generous portion) with Old Bay Seasoning, fresh diced tomatoes, melty cheese, 2 over Medium eggs and homemade Hollandaise Sauce. HOLEY MOLEY! DEEE-LISH! Generous crab serving allows you to have crab with EVERY bite of this dish! Mmmmm :) Love the ooey gooey stretchy cheese! Love the runny eggs! And that Hollandaise?!?! LEGIT! This heavenly dish deserves all the hype! The only drawback was the dish got cold fast because of the cold weather outside I assume. By the time I finished my order, and got to helping Wifey, not as WOWzers compared to when it first dropped on our table. Now we know... eat fast when it's cold outside. lol SHUT THE FLUFF UP! FRENCH TOAST: Once I read "peanut butter" in its ingredients, no way I was passing this up! Buh Bye fan fave Cap'n Crunch, maybe next time lol. Officially, menu "says" it's a Pretzel encrusted French Toast, layered with chunky peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and Chocolate drizzle... allegedly. The chocolate drizzle was not present when the plate landed but generous melty smooth peanut butter completely covered the top of the marshmallow fluff. Sliced Granny Smith apples and thin pretzels also topped the dish, with a powdered sugar drizzle over the entire plate. I asked for extra peanut butter on the side just because no one ever puts enough for my liking lol. And whattya know?!? This newest iteration of the dish was FABULOUS! Did they run out of stuff? Who cares! The synergy these items had with each other just made an amazing bite each and every time. BOMB-alicious!!! I don't really like marshmallow but it wasn't a hindrance here. I devoured the entire thing. Compliments to the chef! ;) VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Definitely worth a visit and a return visit, as well! If it's cold outside, focus on eating not chit chatting lol ENJOY! :)

    Simple Breakfast, Silver Dollar Pancakes, and Texas toast
    Tia J.

    I had a great experience at Blue Moon Café! I ordered a simple breakfast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The silver dollar pancakes were especially amazing--definitely a highlight of the meal. The portion sizes are very generous. They give you more than enough food--I didn't even get a chance to touch the Texas toast because I was already full. Honestly, one meal could easily be shared between two people. Overall, a delicious experience and I'll definitely be back!

    Homemade Cinnamon Roll
    Michael S.

    The best breakfast I have ever had. I don't even know where to start. But if you are ever in Baltimore, this is an absolute must. Anytime I within 2 hours of the area I will be making time to come back here The Sweet Baby Jesus. The crispiest hashbrowns I ever had loaded with jumbo lump crab meat, cheese and perfectly poached eggs. When I come back I'm getting the crab Benedict on top of those biscuits The biscuits and gravy. I h have never had a bustin or gravy so good in my life. I genuinely think the gravy almost ruined the biscuit for how perfect that was. It was cutting like butter with a spoon and I could eat a dozen of those without anything The Captain Crunch French Toast. This is what got Guy Fieri here back in 08. Idk how the entirety of this was so perfectly coated to get that crunch with a fully cooked and soft inside still. Unbelievable The Pina Colada French Toast. Coated and cooked in toasted coconuts shavings topped with white chocolate mousse caramelized, banana and pineapple. The was the one we were iffy on and I can't even imagine not getting this next time I go back The cinnamon roll. I don't even need to speak on this. Just look at it I simply cannot believe how astonishing this spot was in every aspect. I will be making it out here at least once a year guaranteed and then whenever I can find an excuse to This was truly proper perfection The inside is VERY limited in seating and gets packed fast. If you wanna sit down, Arrive accordingly and early. Inside decor was giving Edgar Allan Poe. Lots of cool art

    Mexican omelette
    Nicole E.

    Blue moon Cafe is located near the harbor in Baltimore. They don't do reservations so be prepared to wait it out on the weekends. We went around 10am on a Sunday and waited about two hours. There are some cute neighborhood taverns nearby so that helps to pass the time. Once we were called the cafe is cozy and small about 10 tables max. We started with the cinnamon roll which was delicious and different. Soft in the middle but the outer edges were more like a crispy biscuit. I ordered the fiesta scramble and it was flavorful. Absolutely delicious and filling! Side note they don't serve alcohol so if you're expecting a boozy brunch it won't be here. Service was quick, friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend-- worth the hype!

    Sweet baby Jesus! This was the name of one of the best darn breakfasts I will ever have in my life. I walked in and this place already screamed Sam vibes. Old time house, small and cozy with a few tables. There are regulars there, and you can tell they feel even more like home than their actual home. After doing some research, I heard they had two items that have their own page in their menu, one of them being the Sweet Baby Jesus. This has shredded crispy hash browns, eggs (in my case scrambled), lump crab meat, all covered in a nice hollandaise sauce. I got a side of cheese grits, added some hot sauce and each bite was perfect. Finally the staff, the woman running the join knew how to handle her biz and had me laughing the whole time. She was loud and welcoming which is music to my ears. My server was, kind and nice and more on the quiet side but just as welcoming and happy to help with anything. Now I know my regular spot every time I go back to Baltimore. Thanks Blue Moon, for not just being a Food Network TV flub, and being more of a TV star!

    If you're visiting Maryland, Blue Moon Cafe is a must! They're known for their French toast, but I absolutely love their crab Benedict.

    What a hidden gem! The bellhop at our hotel recommended this diner and it did not disappoint from…read morethe service to the food. The service was impeccable. It was so good that my dad and I repeatedly visited every morning while in Baltimore. The waitress was soo friendly and kind. The first day we just did take out to get a sandwich and coffee. She filled up my dad's coffee mug for $1 which was super nice. She also explained the menu and was very accommodating. The food was great as well. We ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a bacon and onion sandwich. Both were made to perfection and fast. They made sure our order was brought to us in a swift manor. The coffee was delicious as well. Really strong but it was great to start the morning. The ambiance was nice. They had great signage outside for take out and for the sit in dining experience. Once you walk in you will feel at home and comfy. They also offer outside seating in front of the diner which is nice on a nice day. We sat outside on our last day and the owner came and set up the umbrella and ensured we did not anything else. It was a great experience. If you are in downtown Baltimore I suggest you check it out! Cheers!

    We had an absolute 10/10 experience here! The service was incredibly fast, the servers were…read moregenuinely friendly, and the prices are unbeatable for the quality. This is typical diner environment without the yucky "just ate at a diner" smell. They are remarkably welcoming to families.. our son ordered the Mickey Mouse pancakes and immediately gave them an "A+!"
