I recently visited Blue Moon Café and had an amazing brunch experience! I tried the "Shut the Fluff Up" French toast, which is pretzel-encrusted, with marshmallow and peanut butter. It was surprisingly balanced in sweetness and absolutely delicious. I also ordered the "Sweet Baby Jesus", it's a crab eggs Benedict served over hash browns instead of the traditional English muffin, and it was incredible. Despite a bit of a long wait to get a table due to the brunch-time crowd, the service was speedy and very friendly. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I'm definitely giving it five stars! read more

It was Friday, I had the day off and I just finished a stroll around Patterson Park. My stomach started to growl and I figured I'd eat something local for breakfast. I stumbled across Blue Moon Cafe. I barely found a parking spot on the street and to my surprise there was a line outside. We walked in to a dimly lit place and there was a seat by the window in this cozy restaurant. We were served quickly and we both enjoyed the full moon breakfast with modifications. My order included french toast, eggs, sausage and a side of grits. My wife's order included blueberry pancakes, eggs and turkey sausage. All the food was well cooked and tasty. Nothing stood out, but everything was good. I would definitely go back again, but my tips would be to make a reservation if you can or pack your patience for a wait and give yourself time to find a parking spot. read more

The French toast is amazingly and surprisingly tasty!! The pumpkin spices add a special favor into the toast, crispy and creamy! The location is a bit unsafe so make sure to lock your car and park at a safer spot! read more

Had the captain crunch French toast which has secured my "best French toast" I have ever had spot! My son had the Sweet Baby Jesus and rave about the amount of crab that was in it. The decor is the coolest with a bunch of art work that I'd love to buy. And the service is super friendly and so efficient. All my west coast guests will now be flying into BWI so I can take them to this gem as soon as they arrive! Yum!!! read more

- 20% Gratuity auto charge on take-out orders - Prices reflected on website have not been updated in a long time - No online ordering portal on website +/- Food is satisfactory; not "to die for" as some overzealous commentator may have you believe + Generous portion size I ate here last over a year ago, opted for a brunch take-out order this morning. Underwhelming experience considering the online menu pricing does not reflect current pricing and a 20% auto gratuity had been added...to a take out order. Crab Benedict with spinach and tomato was ok, Cinnamon roll was overcooked and dry. Portion sizes were the only redeeming factor. read more

My husband and I recently dined at Blue Moon Cafe in Fells Point, Baltimore, and were disappointed by our experience. The issue began when my husband politely asked a question about a menu item because it appeared to be spelled "browns" rather than "hash browns." He simply wanted clarification regarding what the item was. The server asked him for context, and he explained that he was referring to the item as it appeared on the menu. She then replied, "Oh, now I have context. That's a hash brown." My husband explained that because of the way it was written, he wasn't sure what it meant and was only asking a question before ordering. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably louder, and she responded, "Well, I only work here. I didn't write the menu." We found this response unnecessarily defensive and dismissive. At no point was my husband criticizing the server or correcting her. He was simply trying to understand a menu item. Shortly afterward, a different server began assisting our table, which gave us the impression that the original server was upset by the interaction. When my husband placed his order, he specifically requested that the restaurant's "animal sauce" be served on the side. The menu does not explain what animal sauce is, so he wanted to try it separately before putting it on his meal. When the food arrived, the dish was completely covered in the sauce rather than having it on the side as requested. Afterward, we learned that the sauce is a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise. My husband does not eat mayonnaise and ketchup on eggs, which is exactly why he requested the sauce on the side. Unfortunately, because of the uncomfortable interaction earlier, he did not feel comfortable asking for the dish to be corrected and simply tried to eat around it. The meal was not inexpensive, and because the sauce had been poured over most of the food, he was unable to enjoy it. Approximately 80% of his meal was left uneaten. We understand that mistakes happen and that restaurant environments can be busy. However, customers should be able to ask questions about menu items and make simple requests without feeling uncomfortable or concerned about how those requests will be received. Description of waitress: Caucasian Middle aged Heavy set Extremely loud voice Rude ( nice/nasty) We wanted to share this feedback because the interaction negatively impacted our dining experience and left us feeling unwelcome. We hope this feedback is received in the spirit intended so that future guests feel comfortable asking questions and making requests without concern. read more

A Baltimore institution also happens to be a great place to take kids. On an overnight trip to Baltimore with my eight-year-old daughter, we popped into Blue Moon Cafe (their OG location) for breakfast. Here's our experience. 1) Experience: From the beginning, my daughter was impressed by Blue Moon Cafe. There's a giant mural on the side of its building. Once we walked in on a Sunday in February, staff greeted us and directed us to pick any table we wanted. (Going in around 8:30am on Sunday, we beat the crowd by 30 minutes.) The staff were very friendly and approachable. They got to know us and were very efficient with everything. 2) Food: Of course, we got their famous Captain Crunch French Toast. It comes in a stack with a giant mound of whipped cream with fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and green apples) on top. There's syrup already on the table. 3) Space: The OG location is dark, but cozy with lots of interesting things to look at on the walls. The small bathroom in the back comes with bat wallpaper, which my daughter thought was funny. If you're on a budget, be warned that their prices are more steep than other spots. Their food is worth every penny. read more

Located in Fell's point has been a staple in the area. Small quaint spot. But plenty of empty seats on a weekday at 1pm. Service was fast and friendly. A 20% gratuity is already added for party of 4 or more. Signs everywhere saying that too. That said, was very happy with the service. Food was very good. I didn't try the French toast, but the tacos were pretty good. The hash browns were okay. My wife really enjoyed her order which was basically a crab omelette I guess served with has browns. My sister and brother in law had the French toasts which looked really good. Would come again. read more

This is a fun funky spot for breakfast with macabre decor in a historical building. It's very small but service is quick and courteous. The boisterous waitress suggests loudly to EVERY patron that they should order "sweet baby Jesus" or "capn crunch French toast", both of which were supposedly featured in the food network. She was a little too loud. I did take her advice and got the "sweet baby Jesus" breakfast. It included lump crab and came at a high price, $30. My date got the cinnamon roll French toast with eggs and bacon. The cinnamon roll was delicious!! Recommend. First I will say both were delicious and there was alot of food. However there were so many flavors competing in the "sweet baby Jesus" and it covered the delicate flavor of crab, which was scant to be honest. The drawback for me was the price. There was very little crab in this dish and so not merit anywhere near $30. Next after we had already paid I saw a sign saying 20% gratuity was automatically added to checks over $50. Since we had already paid and included another 20%, they received greater than 40% tip! Yes, we should have looked more closely at the check, that's on us. Final decision, very good food, but very expensive food. Watch your checks for added fees! read more

My friend treated me to Blue Moon Café for my birthday. The space at this location is pretty limited but thankfully we were able to be seated pretty quick. I was tempted to get one of the French toast options but I ordered the autumn omelette instead. It was a nice serving of eggs, spiced apple sausage and cheddar cheese. I substituted the eggs for egg whites and opted for the cheesy grits as my side. OMG!!! This was delicious! The grits was so creamy and had the right amount of cheddar cheese. It wasn't too overwhelming or salty. The balance was perfect. The sausage apples and egg whites went really well together. I've never paired hooked apples on any type of omelettes, so this was different for me. But in a good way. Our server was great too. My next visit will be to try one of those French toast options. read more

The waitlist system has to get better. The hostess removed us from a table outside when we're on the waitlist because she had skipped a party. We felt dismissed and didn't decide the spend our money here. I'm not sure what the food taste like but please consider an improvement to waitlisting or provide more training to the hostess. More people were visually upset as well outside at how chaotic the process was. read more

Food was great! Service was fast and friendly. Note: they automatically included gratuity in the check (only 2 people).

Blue moon is a neighborhood staple. My mom and I wanted to hang out and grab some breakfast. Parking is usually tough but we both got spots right outside of the door. We put our names on the list and within 20 min we're drinking coffee. Our server was busy but took our orders and delivered it piping hot in a timely fashion. My sausage wrap was delicious. The prices were what are to be expected in fells point. Everything was pretty good. read more

What a great little find in the middle of Fells Point in Baltimore. Yelp for the win here! We arrived at 11am on a Friday morning and waited for about 30 minutes for a table (in the rain, but no worries - added to the experience!). They called our name and we were seated at the cutest two top right next to the window. The place is TINY. If we had been seated anywhere else it would have felt squished I think. Our server was quick and attentive and helpful to accommodate my no dairy and no gluten diet. The food was incredible. I got the Hellfire Hash with chorizo and black beans - so big and filling. My daughter got the Full Moon and Cakes plus a side of hash browns (yes, she ate it all willingly!). Fun place and would go back - just take note of the wait time and the $$$ read more

EASILY my favorite breakfast restaurant. I cannot recommend it enough if you go to Baltimore city. Food's great, comes out fast and the ambiance is AMAZING. Only downside is that it takes FOREVER, to get in, and that wouldn't be a problem if they had like, a waitlist that lets you know they're ready through text instead of having the waitress who checks people in yell your name after 45 minutes. Overall, if you're really patient, you'll have a good time. :) read more

Visiting Baltimore came here with some friends, the food was amazing. The waitress was like a bolt of lightning lol, she was full of energy and really made the experience. It's a very eclectic environment and very active. If you're looking for a cute, quiet, elegant spot this is not it. It's earthy, loud, lots of energy, eclectic, and fun. The only drawback is that they don't take reservations and it's a small place so plan on waiting. read more

I came here for brunch with 3 friends on a Sunday midmorning ~10:30 am. There was a line but it went by fast, about a 45 minute wait time. We were not given the ability to sit inside (though it was cold) and were told that if we did not accept the free table outside we would have to go to the bottom of the list, which I didn't like. There are no heaters outside but we did dress warmly so there was no removal of jackets or hats or mittens. This place is popular but I can't see myself becoming a regular here, especially due to the prices. They have an electronic menu which isn't kept up to date and is missing several menu items, including the basics like hot tea. Parking nearby is tricky; I'd recommend browsing the nearby side streets including several blocks down on Ann St. and around for your best bet. Hot chocolate 2.5/5, this was okay, I would not order this again, I think I was feeling festive but this really didn't do much for me Hot coffee 3/5, my 3 friends all ordered this and noted it was just a standard drip coffee Classic Benedict w turkey bacon substitute 4.5/5, both myself and a friend got this. I enjoyed the Hollandaise sauce they used in this but the English muffin was a bit softer than I am used to which was interesting, but overall I think I would prefer it to be more standardly toasted. This came with a side of hash browns that were nicely crunchy. Apple pie French toast 4.5/5, two friends of mine ordered this, one wishes there were more apples another wishes there was a nut option to add some crunch to this Side of hashbrowns 4/5, my friend ordered this but this was not as crunchy as other hashbrowns that came with the benedict, so there's a lack of standardization Side of bacon 4.5/5, my friend ordered this and noted it was a thicker cut of meat which she liked and not too much fat which she also liked read more

We were visiting the area and needed a breakfast spot mid-week. Since it was a Thursday and mid-morning, it was easy to find parking, and we only waited five minutes for a seat. I don't think I'd even try it on the weekend. The space is tightly packed, with minimal indoor seating and a few outdoor options. However, service was speedy, so tables were turning over reasonably quickly. They seemed to have two people working in the same areas, so they'd come over to ask if the other person had already taken our order, making it seem disorganized. But that doesn't bother me. I'd rather be checked in on than ignored. We had the Cap'n Crunch French Toast, Pina Colada French Toast, and Sweet Baby Jesus. We found everything tasty, though the Pina Colada French Toast was very sweet and probably would have been better as a half order. The Sweet Baby Jesus had a ton of crab in it, so the higher price was justified. The hash browns were also super crunchy in mine, which other reviewers commented wasn't the case when they ordered. Overall, I'd go back, but absolutely not on the weekend or at a prime meal time. read more

Must do when visiting Baltimore. We prefer this original location in Fells Point inside a warm and cozy rowhouse. Sidewalk seating available outside as well to enjoy the beautiful weather. We came on a Monday and walked right in to get a table around 9:30am. Expect a wait on the weekends. I love QR code menus, no need to touch a menu, just use your phone. Large menu with something for everyone. Our table of 4 split the Sin Roll, a delicious homemade cinnamon roll with lots of cinnamon, just the right amount of icing and a perfectly soft dough. I love pumpkin foods so I tried the pumpkin pancakes. The flavor was perfect and did not need any syrup with everything else on top. I would opt out of the white chocolate chips and dusting of powdered sugar but my husband loved the over the top sweetness they added. Our food came out quickly and service was wonderful. Everyone loved their food. Blue Moon is as good a we remembered from living here 20+ years ago and worth a visit. read more

Came here for brunch, and it did not disappoint. The Captain Crunch French Toast is exactly as over-the-top as it sounds -- sweet, crunchy, and nostalgic. The savory options like the crab benedict are just as strong, so you can balance out the sugar rush. It's a tiny spot and the line is long, so be ready to wait. Worth it if you're a brunch fanatic. read more

Cap'n Crunch coated French Toast? Pancake-battered Fried Bacon? Sign me up. We walked past this small neighborhood restaurant on a weekday morning to find a line of people in front, a sure sign of a popular place. We walked around for an hour, circled back and were seated within five minutes. The dishes above are just a couple of the inventive items served at this predominantly breakfast stop. I should probably say brunch because the servings are large enough to last through breakfast AND lunch. I have the sweet tooth in our family, while my wife prefers savory. No problem, there were ample choices for each us. The coffee was terrific as well - a full dark roast. As mentioned this place is small, just a handful of tables and a couple bar seats inside, a three tables outside. We saw several people picking up to-go orders, a smart idea. Fells Point, you're lucky to have this great restaurant. read more

(Updated rating) the service was good and there was a nice homey ambiance to the restaurant. I started with orange juice and it was good and definitely tasted like it was freshly squeezed but it was 4.50 for a cup with full price for another. Next was the cinnamon roll and it was pretty underwhelming it had a oatmeal type of taste to it that really stood out and it was very different to other cinnamon rolls l've had. Next was the ham and cheese veggie omelette with hash browns and this was very good. They made sure to give a good amount of the toppings for the omelette and the hash brown was pretty big too. Finally I had the popular cap n crunch French toast and it tasted pretty good + it looked amazing. Would be open to returning and would recommend. read more

I got the blue moon burger about 15 minutes after my husband got his food. The burger was cold and so greasy it covered my hand. My husband got the blue moon breakfast and we both got a coffee. That cost us $47 and then they added 20% gratuity even though their policy say they only add it for meals OVER $50. I am easy going but I am so disappointed in this place and now I feel sick even though I could not finish my cold food. Don't recommend. read more

AMAZING FOOD. Highly recommend - restaurant was packed for a Monday brunch time. Upon arrival they had us write our names down it was a bit packed in there probably be better if one person checks in the whole party. They had a few tables outside with umbrellas. Service was fast from ordering our food to eating. Would definitely go back when I'm in the area. I would suggest getting the g&g country scramble! We also ordered a sin bun to go which the waitress said she would put one aside since they were already running low by 10am read more

Wow! I've been following Guy Fieri on his trail of Diners Drive Ins and Dives and he has been on the money every time so far, so I stopped into the Blue Moon Cafe. The place was poppin' which is a good indicator of great food. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a friendly staff member who gave some great recommendations. I went with the Hellfire Hash because I love chorizo, but stayed true to the DDD form and ordered the Captn Crunch French Toast which brought my taste buds to Flavortown! Love the Halloween decor throughout the place and I loved the staff's tshirt even more as it read 'Bad *ss Breakfast' on the back which was absolutely true. What a pleasure to eat here! read more

Decided to come to Blue Moon Cafe because it had been YEARS since I had been! While the location is completely different, the restaurant itself still had the same energetic vibe. I will say it is very small and does get crowded quickly, and they do not take reservations. Our waitress Nicki was THE BEST! Her energy is unmatched. She was so super friendly, talkative, and made you feel super welcomed! We had the hobo eggs, captain crunch French toast, and the blue moon breakfast. All of the food was great but the French toast was probably the best we've ever had! A good 10 years later and Blue Moon did not disappoint! read more

As a Baltimore native, this visit was long overdue. I already expected a long wait time given what I knew about the restaurant, so be expected for that.
