Service was great and the menu always has something fun! The inside was bright and had spacious seating.

Cap'n Crunch French Toast
Nikki A.

This is our favorite breakfast spot in Baltimore! Seating is limited, so if you go at a busy (weekend morning) time you will wait. Gently open the door, walk to the front counter, add your name to the list. We usually go at an off-time (mid-morning during the week) and we often get right in. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the coffee is delicious. My husband likes their sweet options (his favorite is the Shut the Fluff Up French Toast) and I like the savory (Animal Style Hash is my go-to) and then we trade a few bites. I love the funky art work, and they always offer a cup of coffee to go.

Popular local spot with large portions of very decadent food options The place is first-come-first-serve (they do not take reservations), and you have to stand outside while you wait for a table (they don't write down phone numbers and there is no seating area). This said, I came here on a Saturday morning with my fiancé and the wait was only 10-15 min (which was worth it for the food) Have a few indoor tables, a small bar-counter, and 2 outdoor tables as well. We were seated at the outdoor tables even though we didn't specify that we wanted to sit outside. We decided to take this rather than wait longer for indoor tables (which also looked somewhat cramped). The sidewalk outside is kind of tilted though, and there are a bunch of people waiting for tables outside, so it is a bit of a strange vibe. This all being said, the service was incredibly fast. Our orders were taken right away, the food came out pretty quick, and we were brought our check (which is payable via phone) as soon as we finished eating. You can tell that they run a really tight ship/well executed operation. For food, this place is known for their "Captain Crunch French Toast" and "Sweet Baby Jesus" loaded tots, which have both been featured on the Food Network 3X, but the rest of their menu is also pretty fun and creative. My fiance and I each got an iced coffee, the French toast, and breakfast tacos and we really enjoyed everything. The portions we so big that we had to take the majority of the breakfast tacos home as well.

My friend suggested going here. When we arrived they said it was a 45 minute wait but they got us seated in about 25 minutes. They were turning tables over pretty quick. It is a very small restaurant but it works. I will be honest everything that I saw come out looked amazing. I order a chorizo with ham, pineapple, jalapeño and cheese quesadilla. Hear me out when I say it was delicious. The sweet balanced that heat. If you not a heat lover, please don't order. The hash was perfectly crispy on the outside but perfect baked potato vibe in the middle. Two snaps for that . I ordered the cinnamon crunch French toast as well and it was very good but not crispy enough for me. I like mine very crispy. It was good but would have been great cooked a little longer. (Personal preference tho). The server was very nice and made great recommendations for my friend's food. I would definitely visit here again.

i came here with a friend early on a monday morning and we were seated immediately. i have tried to come here on the weekends in the past, but the space is quite small and they are very popular. i recommend weekday visits if possible. i ordered the captain crunch french toast and a sin roll (at 9:30 we got one of the last ones, so they go fast). the captain crunch french toast was good but didn't blow me away like i was expecting it to. it just kind of tasted like french toast sticks. the sliced fruit was really nice though! i tried my friends hash brown which was cooked perfectly. i took the sin roll to go and had it the next day. the dough tasted like biscuit dough, so the roll itself wasn't very sweet. the frosting was VERY sweet, so it was important to balance that out. it was definitely enjoyable, but i prefer cream cheese frosting on cinnamon rolls. the highlight of my experience at blue moon was the service. our server (i believe her name was nicky? this was a while ago so not totally sure) was really personable and offered plenty of recommendations. she was joking around with us a lot as well. very pleasant experience with the staff. i will attempt to come back to try more things when im in the area but they are always so busy on weekends!

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.

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.

Captain Crunch French Toast

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!

French Toast
Monique D.

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.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast
Archie M.

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.

Captain crunch French toast
Chris K.

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!

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!

A superb breakfast spot here in the Locust Point neighborhood of South Baltimore…read more Just down the street from me, and a place I try to pop into at least once or twice a month -- I just realized I've never provided a review for it so here it goes: Taking advantage of a cool summer morning, we sat out on the patio and enjoyed a delicious breakfast which included, brussels sprouts, stuffed ricotta French toast with blueberry compote, scrambled eggs with cheddar, sausage, links, and their delicious cheese grits. We also grabbed an order of their super skinny and crispy french fries. The total with drinks came to around the mid $40s (before tip) and the customer service was friendly and helpful, as well as a bonus short wait for the food. Everything was delicious. They also offer a great variety of sandwiches and drinks at brunch and a great seasonal menu.

They did surprise my friend with a birthday dessert which was kind. Worth another visit when I'm on this side of time

The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

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!
