    Conveniently located before you cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. A cozy little shop that you can enjoy a quick breakfast or lunch before you start your day. The staff is very helpful and they have great coffee choices.

    Awesome Everything Bagel

    This was my first visit to Blue Rooster Cafe (although I used to love its sister restaurant, Soul). I just stopped in to wait for a friend who was having a PT session up the way. The coffee was great and the everything bagel was soft & fresh, with a big slab of cream cheese. The young woman at the register was very friendly. I wish it was just down the block from my house so I could go more often, but I'll be back!

    Best shrimp and grits I've eaten in a restaurant. The coffee is brewed properly; coffee drinks are prepared carefully to order. The sammies are freshly made and satisfying. When going to the shore, I'll be getting off Route 50 and stopping in here for some sophisticated eats.

    We've lived in the area for a while and never got around to visiting this restaurant. I'm glad we finally did. The Blue Rooster Café is very cute, the staff were friendly, and the food was great. We stopped in for a late breakfast and chose the steak & eggs, shrimp & grits, and the Works on a croissant. Everyone loved their dish! The dining area is nice and cozy and you seat yourself after ordering at the counter. There were several items on the menu that sounded great so we'll definitely be back. We also plan to purchase their coffee beans as the coffee was fantastic. Overall, a very good experience and I know that this will now become a regular stop for us.

    One of our go to local spots! My son loves it! I often get breakfast to go and order it online and pick it up. The staff is great and it's a cute little restaurant! We have loved everything we have ever got. They also have always ice cream now which is amazing!

    1st time here - likely last time here too. The food was really good but the service and the large amount of flies that were very bothersome diminished the experience. The Cubano sandwich was very good. Very tasty and a large sandwich accompanied by Old Bay fries made for a very good lunch. Also tried the strawberry shortcake pancakes which tasted great! The service was absurd. The young man taking the order missed items as I ordered and then forgot to finalize them, leaving a missed item. Another employee came from the back to assist so maybe a new employee but pretty unbelievable considering there was no one else in line to order so should not have been overwhelmed. The flies. I noticed a couple of flies when I first walked in but it is a restaurant so not totally unusual. I washed hands in the bathroom and discovered I was surrounded by a large group of flies, even though there was a hanging, paper fly strip in the bathroom. Upon sitting down at a table, the flies attacked and didn't stop. Every bite of food was accompanied by numerous flies attempting to land on the food. There was no end to it. I would say there is an infestation. I would give the food 5 stars but the overall experience was a 3 due to the service and the flies.

    Passed by this little place and finally made it in. I'm glad. The food was tasty and the ambiance was quaint. We enjoyed a light lunch, just before closing. The staff didn't hurry and that resulted in two magnificent dishes. They also didn't rush us out! We only stayed a couple of minutes past closing.

    Do they use fresh blueberries or are they the equivalent of Denny's or IHOP in their pancakes?

    Hi Scott. Thanks for asking. We always use fresh blueberries in our pancakes. The local produce has been amazing this season.

There's a small kids' area inside with tiny chairs and books, which is such a nice touch if you're coming with little ones. Outside, there's a patio space with the cutest little tree fairy house for kids to play in, which honestly makes the whole place feel a bit magical. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, whether it's for a quiet coffee break or a casual outing with my kid. Thanks for having a beautiful place for the community to come together!!

Yes it's not just coffee it's a bookstore with a real live mascot in Ferguson the friendly Bernice Mountain dog. Check out the drink specials it will be worth your while to order one because can't get them year around. The pasties or good as well, just ask them to heat them up because they are cold! My only complaint is they didn't heat up our pastries and by time I sat down I don't want to get back in the long line to ask them to heat them up. Of course I could just skip the line but did I mention it's small and cramped to navigate. There is a downstairs so be sure to check it out. My tips is to order what you want, say hi to Ferguson and stay a while.

I made a takeout order and got the crab cake omelette (w/ a biscuit) $18.29, legendary scone: Blueberry $3, single blueberry pancake $2.89, single maple bacon pancake $2.89, and single cinnamon roll pancake $2.89. - The crab cake omelet was my 2nd favorite as they surprisingly didn't skimp on the crab additions. The biscuit was just alright, but luckily it's best once combined with omlette to make a good sandwich. - The blueberry scone was probably my favorite, as it was pretty good. It was moist, fresh, and well done. - The trifecta of pancakes ranged from just okay to decent, and my ranking would go blueberry, maple bacon, and then cinnamon roll. For some odd reason, the texture of the cinnamon roll pancake was notably inferior to the other 2. Overall, my experience was quite a good one due to the scone and crab omelet delivering the most. -- #issa.cheatday

Place your order, pay and get a number then grab a seat. Breakfast on the waterfront is whats here, with a few seats inside. Some benches are outside as well down by the waters edge and marina. It was a nice sunny morning on our visit so we grabbed a bench outside and waited for our number. Biscuits and gravy with two eggs over medium, the biscuits were good and the gravy better than average and its pretty hard to mess up a couple eggs. All in all a decent enough breakfast. The location makes this place what it is, a waterfront breakfast joint. Small interior, busy and not much of a place to sit and enjoy other than outside. The line moves pretty quick. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the locale 01108

I actually came Thursday morning and ended up leaving because the line was long. I didn't have time to wait just to order and then wait again for food. On Friday, I did it the smarter way and ordered ahead online, then picked up from the Mad Eggs food truck in the rear, which worked out way better. I went for breakfast and ordered a scrapple, egg, and cheese biscuit ($10) and breakfast tots ($4.25). The order took about 20 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad considering how packed it was around 9:00 a.m. I even noticed people waiting in their cars before heading up to the truck, so the timing felt realistic given the volume. If I had more time, I would've waited without an issue. Food-wise, everything was good, but I had mixed feelings. The biscuit sandwich tasted fine, but for $10, I expected more. It wasn't loaded, and at that price point it just didn't quite make sense to me--I know that sounds sarcastic, but it's hard not to compare when it's a simple scrapple, egg, and cheese. The breakfast tots, on the other hand, were the better deal. I liked these a lot. The portion made more sense for the price, and I really liked that you're encouraged to customize them. That part was right up my alley. With all the topping options, I do wish they offered a sauce or gravy option (like sausage or country gravy), but even without that, this is something I'd order again and again. The coffeehouse itself is small but clean and quaint, with a few tables. Parking out front is very limited--maybe five cars--but there's more space in the back near the food truck, and there's a rear entrance, which is probably the best move. Staff was friendly and efficient, and even from inside you can tell things are run pretty smoothly. I don't drink coffee, so I can't speak to that side much, but I've had food brought home from here before by my wife and really enjoyed the matcha tea smoothie in the past. Overall, I'd definitely return. I think Rise Up does a good job in general, and I've enjoyed their Severna Park and downtown Annapolis locations before. I just expected more out of a $10 biscuit sandwich--but I'd happily come back for the tots and other menu items.
