    Chicken salad sandwich, Broccoli And Cheddar soup and a Side Salad
    Erica B.

    5+ Friendly people, comfortable space, jam worthy playlist. I knew I'd enjoy my food and time there from the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smiling face saying "Hello". So many choices to choose from. I went with the soup and sandwich combo, which also comes with a small side salad and a cookie or an Apple. The perfect combo to me! I went with the house made chicken salad, broccoli and cheese soup, sugar cookie. Within a few minutes everything was sitting at my table waiting to be devoured. 5 stars zero complaints the chicken salad, soup or the cookie. I live about 35 minutes away. I was in the area dog sitting. I almost drove 35 minutes the next morning for the exact same meal. It is THAT good! Tip: Free WiFi available and they cater events

    My friend brought me to this cafe for lunch - super cute place. They're already decorated for Easter. We placed food for dine in at the ordering counter and found a table to sit at. I ordered the Yacht Club sandwich with chips and a Caramel Frappe and my friend ordered a flatbread. My sandwich was so filling and really good. All the ingredients tasted really fresh. My frappe was delicious. The staff were friendly here and the prices are super reasonable. Such a great place for the area.

    First time here and loved it. There are so many drink options and food options. I liked that the food is served on plates when eating in, the drinks are in plastic cups, would've loved lugs, but it's minor infraction, lol! The food was really good and so were the drinks. The space itself it supervise and decorated nicely.. the aqua theme makes it feel airy! Definitely will be back

    My cousin introduced me to this place after working out at Planet Fitness. I think I ended up going back six times and every time was extremely impressed with the food, the coffee, and the service. I think it was my second or third time in and was greeted by name. That impressed me so much. You should definitely try the Burrizo Burrito. So good! The coffee is great. I get a mocha with cinnamon. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Nothing but good things to say about here

    BLT
    Tiara D.

    I went back recently and was highly disappointed. I ordered a BLT and was served the thinnest sandwich I had in my life. Also, not sure what's going on with the beverage section but they keep very limited amount of ice tea and lemonade out for customers. I was racing to fill my cup up with another gentleman because the containers were being refilled a cup at a time. The hash brown sandwich had a piece of lettuce on it. Everything just seemed to be rationed and skimpy. For the price against the product, I probably won't return again.

    Lemonade and Sweet Tea

    This place is so cute and quaint. I love that I found it. It's truly a little cafe we're you can sit and do work or meet up with friends. They are always super nice when I go in and I ended up going three days in a row. You will have to wait a little after you order so don't be in a rush. I ordered tuna on a toasted croissant with American cheese, pickles, and roasted red peppers. The tuna wasn't over seasoned and had a great consistency. The sandwich as a whole was very flavorful and I ended up ordering it again the next day but on white toast and a little red onion. I think I like the toasted croissant better. Now the side house salad dressing is sooo good. They should never stop making it. The first time I tasted it I got it as a side but didn't eat the cranberries. I ended up getting a full house salad later that week and removed the cranberries and added cucumbers, croutons, and feta cheese. The croutons are not crunchy: just FYI. But I still loved the salad. I did try the broccoli cheddar soup a few days later. Unfortunately, I didn't really like it. It was a little too watery for me. The lemonade and sweet tea weren't real lemony or sweet. More on the watery side. But overall I really love this cute place and will be back probably one day every week for lunch.

    Love this local spot! Not entirely sure when they opened but it has been there for a while and I have gone there now about 3-4 times. Each time, I get great service and delicious food and drinks. They have a wide range of items that you can pick from for breakfast and I believe some sandwiches and pastries. They also have plenty of seats indoors if you choose to eat/drink there. They also have some games you can play and a small "gift shop" where you can buy merch. There is plenty of parking as there are other stores nearby.

    16 oz Harvest Latte
    Rosemary M.

    I love this little cafe. It's such a nice spot to have in the area. They're always well decorated with the season, and the staff is consistently welcoming and kind. I ordered the avocado toast (added egg), a blueberry scone, and a harvest latte. Let me say: I am OBSESSED with the harvest latte. I eagerly wait for them to sell it every year and I am always sad when it leaves. I don't know how to describe the flavor, but know it is basically fall in a cup. Like pumpkin spice but way better. I always get it with oat milk, which I really think just takes it to another level. You have to try it if it's in season. Crunchy toast, creamy avocado, warm egg - perfect avocado toast! I love the salt and crushed pepper they put on top. The egg does cost more, but I think it's worth it for a little extra something. They also have a crabby avocado toast, which I didn't get today, but I highly recommend that too! I've really been into scones lately for whatever reason, and it's been interesting to see how they differ depending on who makes them. First of all, this scone was HUGE. Scones tend to be on the less sweet side, but this one was probably one of the least sweet I've had (not a bad thing!). I think most of the sweetness came from the crunchy sugar on the top and the blueberries inside. The flavor really just reminded me of a biscuit. It also wasn't super dry like scones are known to be. I truly love coming here. It's worth the stop if you're nearby!

    I'll admit, I only purchased a tea to go, but the staff was friendly enough and the place seemed to be very popular. The line was long when I arrived - but it moved pretty quickly. I'll have to go back if I'm in the area again and try out the other options.

    Chesapeake (special)
    Theresa S.

    Came across Joanna's while on a work trip and was pleasantly surprised. Inside is cute and casual with an assortment of pastries and goodies on display. We all ordered the special breakfast, the Chesapeake which was so freaking good. It was two fried eggs, bacon, avocado, and CRAB all on a perfectly toasted Asiago bagel. It was so good and not too heavy on the stomach. I also had to try their popular latte options such as the Starr and the Death Starr, both were delicious and kept me caffeinated all day. The next day I tried the Burrata sandwich, this was also pretty good and I loved how they toasted with the bread with the mozzarella (making the perfect cheese pull). The grilled cheese , Mac n cheese, and tomato soup were also quite good. This is a small portions spot so don't expect huge meals out of here. Everything was decently priced and service was great. Even if you are just grabbing a coffee this is the spot!

    No complaints from someone who always complains. Great cafe atmosphere, decent prices, awesome employees, I will stop by here every time I'm in this area. They also have some type of rewards system.

    Joey S.

    My wife and I both ordered the bacon egg and cheese croissants and coffee, and everything was absolutely tasty. The service was great, but the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because our drinks came about 5 minutes after we got our food. It was a minor issue, but it should reflect in the rating. The cafe itself is super cute, with a charming and relaxing atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can unwind and enjoy a good meal. Despite the minor hiccup, we'll definitely be returning!

    SHUT THE FLUFF UP! SO GOOOOD!!!…read more 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! :)

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.
