The view from the deck couldn't be better, the California Benedict and fruit salad was spot on/delicious and the service was excellent. Just get there early and prepare to enjoy.

Well. If you have ever visited Maine you find out that they are the number one producer of blueberries!!! Therefore if you ever make to to booth bay harbor, blue moon is where you need to go!! Now be where they do breakfast brunch and lunch. They close like at 2pm. So get there before. The view of the harbor is amazing and you get excited about that. Then you order and some of the most fresh, deliciously consistent and perfect portion food comes out of the this little piece of heaven!! You order before you sit, space is limited yet so worth the wait. We went and sat in the back garden the first time which is cute but you miss the harbor view. The second time we got there before the opened so we were first in line. We sat outside on the harbor side. Picture perfect. But let's talk about the most important food. Blueberry pancakes with real Canadian maple syrup. I am ruined for life there will never be another blueberry pancake quite like it!! Then wait for it...crab omelette. Now you know I live my omelets and we make some good one in Cali. Well Blue Moon gets a Cali approval from me. Just enough crab meat not stingy and did I say how fresh this crab was!!! I love my Cali food for the freshness. Not all places in Maine had the freshness but Blue Moon had the freshness. A plus plus plus!!

Small little cafe! Coffee is self served. The best part of the cafe is the terrace which has an awesome view of the harbor. Breakfast is simple. Had two sunny side up eggs with English muffins and home fries (mixed with sweet and regular potatoes). Sadly, the potatoes were undercooked, almost raw. Service at counter was a bit repetitive with our orders but the waitresses who brought our food to our table were excellent. Otherwise...it's an adorable spot for a quick start in the morning.

Fabulous food! Fabulous view! Great Eggs Benedict. I got the California with a Bloody Mary. Went back the next day and tried the lobster Benny with a mimosa. All excellent!

Blueberry pancakes and farmer's omelette.  You can see the one decent bistro chair behind me which I switched to.

We come to Boothbay Harbor every summer and this year we stayed for 10 days, so plenty of opportunities to enjoy breakfast at the Blue Moon where we've enjoyed the blueberry pancakes for many years. Sadly, this year we only ate there once and the reason may surprise you because it certainly surprised us! The morning we had breakfast here, the food was delicious as always! I ordered a farmer's omelette (ham, cheddar & veggies) and it came with a toasted english muffin and home fries. It tasted wonderful but the cheese was stringy and tough... like overcooked mozzarella, so I removed the cheese and finished the omelette without it. The home fries were great, BUT I only received 7 pieces of potato! It was as if they ran out and gave me the dregs before they made more? I don't know but for a breakfast that was almost $15. I expected a serving of home fries, not a few pieces. My husband had the Maine blueberry pancakes and they were wonderful, as they always have been since we began eating here many, many years ago. We also ordered a Maine blueberry muffin and the server kindly asked if we wanted it toasted and buttered (thank you) and it was absolutely delicious as was the coffee. The reason why we ate here only once, instead of every morning of our stay as usual wasn't because I was shorted on the home fries. We stayed away for the following reasons: 1). The chairs on the deck (where we and everyone else prefer to eat) were horribly uncomfortable! Whoever made the decision to replace the chairs with these cheap, wobbly, back-bending, plastic lawn chairs made a BAD decision and it wasn't just my opinion... once one person mentioned it, everyone chimed in and complained! The slope of the back of the chairs force you to recline when all you want to do is bend forward a little to eat at the table. Patrons feel like a bug on its back! 2). The new, cheap plastic patio chairs have a bigger footprint than the old chairs, and they make the deck horribly tight! The chairs are back-to-back, so unless every customer is a size 0, you cannot sit down! Folks were really frustrated at not being able to sit AT their table, or being shoved AGAINST their table due to overcrowding caused by these horrible, awkward, plastic chairs! 3). The staff MUST start posting that guests cannot claim tables until they have an order number. It's the job of the staff to make patrons comfortable and welcome! Rude patrons were hogging tables LONG before they ordered leaving folks with hot plates of food nowhere to sit and eat! It's just plain wrong and something needs to be done about it, even if it's just enforcing a rule that you cannot sit down until you have an order number to place on your table. Seeing folks standing up, trying to juggle their plates and place their coffee cups on the ground is inexcusable! There are a few tables indoors and two or three out back on pea gravel (no view of the harbor, but a few flowers; it's pretty) but most patrons want the view and I think it's up to the management to, well, manage! Great food, great views, horrible seating. Please replace the chairs to sturdy bistro chairs (I noticed you had a few) and please manage the seating. We only had one meal there (out of our entire 10 day stay) because nobody wants to begin their day with frustration. Breakfast should be relaxed and peaceful.

Nice views

Food was decent but not better than the views. You get in line to order your food then wait to have someone bring it to your table. Service was not bad - staff were nice.

Very nice breakfast right on the water. The ordering process is slightly confusing, and the food is somewhat expensive, but it was good.

We initially were going to take a smaller table for the 5 of us, but a couple offered to move so we could push two together. Amazing and so unexpected but appreciated! We all loved our breakfasts - Happy Cakes for the kids included whipped cream, sprinkles and a piece of bacon; the croffle with blueberry compote was delicious; and the breakfast sandwich on wheatberry bread was great. The whole thing was topped off with a story from Kelly (she's also a published author!) and a treat for the kids from her treasure chest. My older two thought it was really sweet and my 8 yo was totally caught up in the story about mermaids and treasure. This was such a delightful stop, we recommend to anyone in the area!

(I appreciate when you order two dishes and switch) we had biscuits and gravy scrambled egg and French toast with bacon. Best biscuits and gravy of my life!! Coffee is so rich and delicious!! It's an intimate location (up stairs be prepared) with off street parking, clean bathrooms available. The food is so delicious, flavorful and generous portions. Luckily they do to go orders so you could call ahead and have someone with you go up the stairs or maybe if you ask and can't climb stairs they could meet you at the base of the stairs. Excellent place that's interested in spreading joy!!

Dumplings good, everything else exceptional. And we got the biggest yeasty cinnamon bun I've ever seen. Words cannot describe how decadent this was. OMG!!!! I've been coming to Boothbay for 30 years and never knew this place was there. If someone had not sent me would have thought just a bakery. It is that too. I have seen some negative reviews on service. Not fair. There is no table service. You stand at the counter till they have time to take your order. If you are eating there, they will deliver to your table. There is beautiful outside seating. And English is not their first language so patience may be required. And they are from a different culture and it to some that may translate as rude. That has not been my experience nor those lined up for their food or bakery products. A constant stream of takeout. If you like Asian food, funky place, this is it. One more thing. The order we had at most any other Asian restaurant in the area would have been double the cost. 2 entrees large portions, 2 apps and a desert for under$50 bucks!!!

I am not a doughnut person at all, but I always make an exception for apple fritters. So we bought one, and I want to emphasize the word "one" because it was sooooooo huge that it would've just been too much to have gotten more. It was enough for 3 to share, frankly. It was really large. The apple fritter was good, but I have to say, it wasn't my favorite. I've been spoiled by a place near our home (3,000 miles away) where the addition of a noticeable amount of cinnamon with huge apple chunks always steals my heart. Here, at least in the fritter we got, I didn't taste any cinnamon, and honestly, I couldn't taste any apple pieces either. Not sure what was going on. It still tasted good, but I felt like it wasn't well represented for what they claimed it to be. Again, it wasn't bad... it just wasn't great, either.

We started with onion soup, which was OUTSTANDING !! It wasn't too salty, which is often an issue but not here. The broth was a perfect blend of onion and beef flavoring, just enough cheese and croutons but not overpowering... it was divine. It might've been the best I've ever had. We also got bread service that offered lightly grilled French bread. I don't know what the deal was, but it was so unbelievably tasty, and it was so soft, too. I don't know if it was the texture or the bread flavor, but something was different... that made it so amazing. Better than usual. I wanted to eat more, but I knew I was already getting full, so we left most of it. Drat. For an entree, my husband got the Atlantic salmon in a lobster veloute with farfalle and ratatouille. I tasted it, and it was excellent. Such great flavors. I got the cioppino, which had scallops, shrimp, and haddock in a herb-infused tomato sauce. I was a little shocked because it was spicy... good flavor, but spicy, and I wasn't expecting that. I wish the waitress would've told me ahead of time, but she didn't. I ended up not eating most of it because it was a bit too much for my palate. I hate wasting food, but the truth is I wouldn't have finished it anyway. I was already full from the onion soup and 1 piece of bread. For our celebratory dinner, we also split a dessert. I had read this place is known for their blueberry pie, which we were very interested in getting. Soooooooooo glad we did because it was EXCELLENT... and yes, it was a la mode... with vanilla ice cream. There was some crystalized sugar topping on the crust, which really added to the awesomeness of this dessert. We hit pay-dirt here. This meal was the highlight of our trip to Boothbay Harbor. I hope we will be able to return to this lovely harbor town because we will make a beeline to dine at Thistle Inn again. Too bad we live so far away. This is a wonderful dining establishment, and they made our 20th anniversary even more memorable !!
