    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

    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!

    French Toast

    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.

    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.

    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! :)

    Capn Crunch French Toast

    After reading a lot of positive reviews, we decided to try Blue Moon Cafe for breakfast. We arrived around 8:00 AM on a Friday to beat the rush and were seated right away. The dining room is small, but it has a cozy, local feel that adds to the experience. We ordered the Cap'n Crunch French Toast, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. It had great flavor and was beautifully presented. I would have enjoyed it even more if it had a little more crunch and wasn't quite as soft in the middle. Service was fairly limited during our visit, as our server mainly stopped by to take our order and bring the check. Also worth noting, a 20% gratuity is automatically added to bills over $50, which can happen fairly easily for a family breakfast. Overall, Blue Moon Cafe is a good place to enjoy breakfast in Baltimore, especially if you're looking for one of their signature French toast dishes.

    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!

    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!

    This is an example of cinnamon rolls ready for you!
    Nadine C.

    I had a for breakfast and boy was it ever full! I took half the pancakes home. I sat at the counter and watched those cinnamon rolls come out of the oven and microwave. It would be two weeks worth of sugar for me, but they sure smelled and looked good. Love this place even though it's small the waitresses are awesome.

    Scrambled Eggs with Cheddar Cheese
    Tredell D.

    Blue Moon Café is a whole vibe! Super entertaining, the people are hilarious, and the energy in this family-owned spot is straight up lit. It's small, but it feels alive the second you walk in. The servings are HUGE, and everything I had was GOOD. I had the red velvet pancakes, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and hash browns. Let me tell you--those pancakes are massive. I couldn't even finish the two they gave me. I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu. I sat at the bar--which is only a two-seater--so I got lucky since I came solo. But here's the truth: if you plan on coming here, get here EARLY. If not, you'll be outside waiting until your name gets called. I got there at 9:30am and eight people were already in line. They open at 7:30am, so again... pull up early. I 100% recommend this place. The food is awesome, the vibe is unmatched, and it's a must if you want breakfast in Baltimore. I'll absolutely be back.

    Sweet Baby Jesus
    Kara B.

    Best meal we had in Baltimore and the decor is charming. The Sweet Baby Jesus was unbelievable, I couldn't stop eating it. Cap'N Crunch French Toast was decadent but not too sweet. The fresh fruit kept it lighter. Service was friendly but could have been more attentive.

    Interior art
    David A.

    Recently stopped by Blue Moon Cafe while I was back in Baltimore. Blue Moon Cafe is not just one the Best of Baltimore experiences, it is simply one of the best breakfast/brunch experiences you can have. I think I'd have to reference a couple of places in Savannah to even come close. First, the service is always amazing. The crew works in tandem with each other. They come to your table with water, ready to serve whatever else you may need. The interior is full of art, just a touch of goth, and truly celebrates the Baltimore art scene. The breakfast standards here are impeccable. Some of the best coffee, omelettes and hash browns you will have. The greatest art you may take in here are their sweet creations. Captain Crunch French toast, their pumpkin pancakes were outstanding, I could go on and on. They do everything well. This is a must-do in Baltimore. I highly suggest you give them a try.
