The food was pretty decent. However, service was appalling. True, my friends and I were in the restaurant late on a Saturday night. But, we were far from intoxicated. Yet, for some reason, it was assumed that because we were out late we must also be drunk and disorderly. Staff was blatantly rude and disrespectful toward us despite our appropriate behavior and warm demeanors. They yelled at us and other customers on multiple occasions and simply seemed to be uninterested in the clientele. Had they been nicer, I would go back for the food. However, since the staff was nothing but rude I do not plan on going again especially during late night hours. read more

Didn't get to eat because after a an hour and a half of STANDING outside in the cold. We noticed that we where being skipped by people that had obviously arrived after us. So we continued our trip. read more

What a quaint place for breakfast! The service was great and the food was delicious! I got their famous Captain Crunch French toast...no words can describe exactly how good it is...so try it for yourself! Portions were big and I doubt anyone leaves here hungry. Definitely going back again! read more

They posted about being open on Christmas at their light street location.I looked for a number to call in an order and didn't find one. My husband drives across town and they are having dine in only. They should've advertised that with web they did about them being open.my husband stood right on front of them and he couldn't order to bring us breakfast...smh...they are much more popular with out of town customers then locals due to their service... read more

I used to love this place before everyone discovered it and it became a hipster hangout. The wait time is very long on the weekends...the front door doesn't stay shut and new patrons entering don't close the door behind them. If you are unlucky enough to get that table by the door...be warned in the winter for lots of cold gusts! Fix the door, geez. The food used to be worth the wait and the cramped space. But not anymore....last time we were there, the cinnamon bun was days old, dry, disgusting. Food used to be fresh, but not so much anymore. This place will continue to remain open because of the reputation it used to have. But, like all good things, the amazing food couldn't last. Won't return ever again. read more

Tried to order carryout on Friday. I live less than a block away. Confirmed by phone the restaurant was slow and had several open tables. They refused to place a carry out order due to "policy" and was not willing to be customer focused. Took my money elsewhere. You should too. read more

The food was great. My wife had the special Captain Crunch French toast, I had the country breakfast, my daughter orders an egg white omlete (not on the menu). Everything came out tasting great! Lots of flavor on my Country BFast and oh, soooo much food. Fresh, home made bisquits like your grandma made! and the gravy.... oh soooooo good! Come early, be prepared for a wait as seating is limited, but trust me, its worth the wait! read more

DO NOT GO FOR THE FOOD. Only go for drinks. What I did NOT eat was low quality bar food. The fish taco was made of fish jerky. This was the McDonald's version of fish taco. The chicken taco was even worse with little dry chunks of nasty chicken and then the skirt steak tried by my friend had bones in it (in a taco!!!!). I knew better than to try the tres leches cake . . . but my friend insisted. It was a large piece of hard cake with no taste--awful. The margarita I had for 11.00 was great. The guacamole was passable. The wait staff was great. It is the only thing they have going for them. read more

I'd been driving past this place for over 5 years when my wife and I decided to stop in for our anniversary brunch. We'd heard nothing but good things about it, and judging by the lines coming out of the shop every weekend, we figured that was a good testament. When we stopped in, it was busy but not full. The menu had an incredible and diverse selection array of culinary creation, which to our dismay, we could not try all of them. We ordered a couple of coffees, a cinnamon bun (made in house), an omelet, and something with a crab cake (I think it may have been eggs Benedict). The coffee was just fine, nothing to write home about but by no means unpleasant. The cinnamon bun was far and away the best thing we had. That isn't reductive, it's true, that thing was absolutely fantastic. The wife and I agree that it filled us up, let that sink in...It's huge. The crab cake dish was very good. It had the compulsory addition of Old Bay seasoning, without it being overpowering. The crab cake itself was very good and the perfect size for breakfast. The omelet was also very average. Honestly, I ordered the closest one to a meat lovers' omelet that they had, so that may have aided the mediocre flavor, but it just didn't seem like much anyway. The only complain I have of the place is the portion size of their food. I'm 6'5" and 250 lbs, I can put away my share of food. But even so, the cinnamon bun was the size of a small bunt cake, the omelet took up an entire plate along with the home fries, and the crab cake dish was similar. The grand size is no culinary sin in and of itself, but with a local gem such as this, I was expecting a bit more quality of quantity. Still, definitely worth a trip to get the experience, and most certainly for the cinnamon bun. I can't say I'd wait in those famous lines, but I'd definitely go again. read more

Super good captain crunch French toast & fun atmosphere!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a different brunch place. read more

Blue Moon Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Food is generally very good, although I wouldn't wait 2 hours for it! Go on off hours.

Went on Saturday morning around 10, the wait was over an hour. Given the great reviews, I decided to wait for a table n experience the hype... FYI they don't do reservations or take out on the weekends. The restaurant is super small thus resulting in the long wait time. We ordered the sweet Jesus and bacon and crab eggs benedict. The food portion was huge and flavors were good, but probably not worth the wait... I would however eat there again if there's no wait. read more

Blue Moon is such a hyped up place I went in expecting it to be amazing. Having eaten here twice now, I'm bummed to say it wasn't anything special either time. The first time I went I got an eggs benedict that was lacking seasoning and the second time I got their special Captain Crunch french toast which was good but certainly not worth the $15. The wait is ALWAYS at least half an hour because the place is tiny and crowded and the servers tend to be stressed out. If you're just looking for some good breakfast I'd recommend saving about $8 and heading to Jimmy's around the corner. read more

I've heard so much about this place, so I was eager to eat there. We went on a Friday, so it wasn't a long wait...seated quickly! I ordered the famous sweet baby Jesus, and I was a little disappointed. I was okay, but I've had better. It needed some seasonings and it was bland. My husband ordered the BLT, again it was okay. I just expected more from this place that receives so many great reviews. read more

Oh. My. Dad.... this may be the one of the best breakfast's that I have ever had. The Captain Crunch french toast is straight up the sexiest breakfast known to man. I'm thankful that I was alone and was able to sit at the counter, as everyone I saw come in today was greeted w/ a 1 - 2 hour wait time. Regardless, its worth the wait.... Put your name in & go around the corner and enjoy a mimosa or eight and come back and enjoy. read more

I really never explore B'more before, my bf took me here as a surprise brunch, since we live in VA, this was quite a trip to get there. We arrived at 10:30am, there's already an hour wait, it's worth the wait. This is a small joint, less than 10 tables inside. I looked around and checked on what everyone was ordering, I see one thing in common for most tables, the french toasts. The well known dish is their captain crunch french toast, I ordered that with a side of 2 eggs and 2 meats (sausage or bacons), the french toast was amazing. I demolished that thing in half an hour or maybe shorter than that. The bf ordered similar thing except he had the cinnamon rolls french toast, it's a specialty item, you won't see it on the menu, but he had it before so he asked the server if they have it today, fortunately, they did. It was delicious. It was worth the trip and if I get the chance, I'll definitely return. read more

I would love to give this restaurant negative stars but Yelp won't let me. Unfortunately, I would love to rate it based on the food but I can't. I came in at the wee hours of the night not intoxicated but with friends ....i unable to order because they have a restaurant rule of not splitting the check which is fine but in addition refuse to take multiple payments to one check. So please forget coming with your friends to enjoy a meal because it isn't allowed..........unless you all carry cash because that is what we all do nowadays right along with going to the bank for quarters and my heavens, what on earth is online banking????? Let us all collect our prestigious jello molds to forgo experiencing a more modern food at Blue Moon because it's better ...... But then again how can we ensure a restaurants success????? after all when has the success of a business ever relied on a customer????? read more

food was good. Waiter needs to calm down. Not splitting the check? Ok so here is your 1 start

I love this place! The food is amazing and the portions are good. I wish it was bigger but service is good. If it was closer I would go every week! read more

I took my friend here 4 months ago and was blown away by the service and unforgettable food. Wow!

4.5 stars! I am not breakfast person, but when I do, I go to blue moon cafe! The captain crunch French toast is a must try. Yup I said it... Captain crunch French toast. read more

The captain french toast is so amazing that on my boyfriend's birthday, I drove here in a thunderstorm where the fells and inner harbor area was flooded just to surprise him with breakfast in bed. The french toast is soft on the inside, very sweet, and has crunchy corners. They also add whipped cream and fresh fruit, which is pairs perfectly with the toast. I've also ordered the "Sweet Baby Jesus" before which is like a crab benedict. They said it was market price and when I saw the check, it was a whopping $18!!! Not worth it. This place gets packed on the weekends so a few ways get around the crowds is to go on the weekdays or during their graveyard shift on the weekend where there are open from 11pm to 4am. Also, I've ordered carryout from here and it's just as good if you eat at home while watching pawn stars. The service is very hands off a so don't expect to get babied when you're here. They are very clear about not splitting checks and they won't seat you unless everyone is present. One time, late at night, a drunk girl sat down on a wet tray that had been left on one of the seats and then demanded that her french toast be on the house because her jeans were "ruined." Well the server laughed and pretty much told her to just get out because no one gets CCFT for free at Blue moon! read more

Four words: Capt'n Crunch French Toast. I can end this review right now. But I won't. Hands down the best french toast on the planet. Perfectly browned so it's crunchy on the outside and slightly gooey on the inside, this dish hits the spot every single time. I would smuggle a dufflebag of them home if I could. We also ordered the "Sweet Baby Jesus" dish which had pretty much every breakfast item imaginable covered in hollandaise sauce - great contrasting flavors with the french toast. During our 3 day visit to Baltimore, we managed to hit up this spot once during morning and once at night. During both times of the day, the mood and ambiance is relaxing and comfortable. The service is superb and the waitresses take great care in asking what are you favorite foods before giving a recommendation. If only they had one of these on the west coast. read more

I am disappointed with this place. I had to come at 6:30a to get a table with no wait, I wasn't asked for my order until 15 minutes later, and our coffee was given to a table that came in after us (and we had to wait for it to brew again). After 30 minutes no table had food (and every seat is packed). People were asked to move from their seat to accompany large parties (very rude, they should just make the entire restaurant two tops that can be combined), and after bringing my coffee, they brought us menus AGAIN to see if we needed to order. Someone else who ordered theur food for pickup waited for their food as long as other parties, which is ridiculous. However, I will say the Captain Crunch French toast, eggs, and ham saved this review. It tasted amazing, and unfortunately, I'll be back. read more

Having lived in the city for 3 years, I finally found my way to Blue Moon Café. I feel like out of principle, I stayed away because of the long lines. But I managed to find some time during a weekday and only waited for about 10 minutes. Or course, I ordered the captain crunch french toast, so that I could see what all the hype was about. I enjoyed the meal, but I was thoroughly impressed. I feel that the other items on the menu are probably more worth the money and look more delectable. Now that doesn't mean that if I am craving sweets, that I wouldn't find my way back to blue moon for a plate of diabetic ulcer french toast! read more

arrived in BWI at 11:30AM from LAX, yelped this place the night before and is determined and (excited) to go try. Arrived at Blue Moon cafe at 12:30PM. I was swept away by the friendliness of the staff and wish I could stay one more day to try another thing on the menu. It wasnt too hard to decide what to order when I found the crab and crispy bacon eggs benedict with the hashbrowns and fresh fruits. it was SO good. SOOOOOOOOO good and I was so happy i went to this place. I just want to go back and eat it again!!!! read more

Food looks good! Tiny place. Always a wait. Waiter asked us to wait outside, it was raining(really). Breakfast food is easy folks. Good luck. read more

Wow! Phenomenal breakfast/brunch!! I've read some great reviews for this place, but they don't even come close to doing it justice!!! If we had found this on our first day of the trip, we would have eaten here every single day. No kidding. That great! read more

Blue Moon is a little gem. The City Paper voted it "Best Breakfast in Baltimore" in a recent year, and they weren't kidding: this place elevates ordinary French toast, home fries, and scrambled eggs to an art form. It's very small and quite popular, though; the general protocol is to put your name on the waiting list, spend some time walking around the neighborhood, and come back in about half an hour to get your table. The atmosphere and staff are on the bohemian side, but it's not insufferably hipster. Yes, it's crowded; yes, it's going to take a while to be seated. But it's worth it. read more

This place is awesome! My wife and I have been here twice now. And as you will read, the wait is long so if you don't have time, you may have to look elsewhere. However, if you have the time - IT'S WORTH THE WAIT. Today Jesse (hope that's the correct spelling) was our server and she is the best. Right on top of things and made our eating experience just that much better. We had coffee to start (they offer a local coffee called Bluebird) that was simply delicious. We ordered the Captain Crunch French Toast, Eggs with Chorizo and the Vegetarian Scramble. Wow! What a treat. This is the best breakfast food I've had anywhere, period. The hash browns are perfect. The eggs done just right and to cap it all off - the Cap'n Crunch French Toast is so good, you'll wonder if there is a better tasting food item on the planet. We'll surely be regular customers of this fine place with the best breakfast food and best service in Baltimore. read more

Blue Moon Cafe - Fabulous breakfast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We went here yesterday for my son's 5th birthday. The cinnamon roll was delicious! And that's where the positives end. The service was terrible and the food was mediocre at best. My husband and I eat out quite a bit and will often overlook crappy service if the food is worth it. This place takes the "hipster" "we don't care if you stay or not" attitude to a whole new level. I would've mentioned it to a manager if I thought one was available but there were 3 servers there and one had what was a stellar attitude compared to the other two (which is not saying much). We won't be back. There are so many other places to spend our money. Places that act like they want us to be there. read more

This place is awesome! Definetly check it out on the weekends- But avoid going on Tuesdays cause thats when I like to go and I don't like to wait in line. read more

I came here late at night after a getting drunk at The Get Down club next door. It was 1:00 am and I got coffee and some scrambled eggs with hash browns. I recall the food being simply fantastic. It was just the thing to get re-energized and back in the game. I remember the waitress stopping by a few times so the service was good too. These guys are also pretty cheap. Would recommend! read more

The best brunch in all the lands! The hash browns are out of this world. Try to go on a weekday for breakfast or get the same menu at dinner time during the weekends....if you go on a weekend for breakfast be prepared to wait hours!! read more

Waiting an hour is something tourists do at Disneyland, and not something hungry people do for breakfast food in Baltimore, right?! Wrong. This place is worth the wait. This place is also worth the "I'm such a slob, I just ate so much and now I can barely walk to the car" feeling that naturally accompanies dishes like Cap'n Crunch French Toast and the Sweet Baby Jesus. read more

Captain Crunch French Toast was amazing. Wish it was bigger!

Awesome! Be prepared to wait. Unique dishes. Red velvet pancakes, Captain crunch French toast and more. Delicious! Worth the wait!

93.46 for a breakfast for 3???? Really??? 3.50 for tazo tea??? It's not even that much at Starbucks... Asking that we wait outside in the cold for a table??? Better yet, rudely being asked to stand outside and wait for a table, even worse... Upsetting birthday breakfast for my best friend...not worth the $93... Feedback points for owner/management: invest in a waiting area by expanding the upstairs to accommodate the increase in business during peak hours, train staff on how to ask customers to politely wait outside for seating, address pricing according to cost of goods/market research (I.E. scarce amount of crab on a md lump crab Benedict, tazo tea with cost of goods shouldn't be priced at 3.50...its tazo people...your clientele knows the pricing of that item), customers should be made aware of added gratuity past a certain hour, menu is engaging but the selection is to be desired (meat maybe), your whole culture needs a change for your employees (refer to oz principles). Sincerely, An unhappy diner/customer/food epicure/and management troubleshooter Danielle Joynes read more

The captain crunch French toast was probably the best thing I have ever had in my life.

Great place for brunch. We got the captain crunch French toast and a cinnamon roll for the table. The French toast was better. I had the potato pancakes and a side of sausage. The sausage was delicious as were the pancakes. One thing that would make it better would be a better air conditioner. It was a little warm in the restaurant, but not bad enough to not go back. Awesome place read more
