Nice little bakery in downtown Belfast. I had them bookmarked on a fall trip passing through because it has that small town vibe I look for, and beyond that, I need some good pumpkin bread to ring in the season. The place is very nice, like a well kept, older home. The bathroom was super clean, the staff was friendly, and while it was early afternoon, they still had a few things to pick from. Like I mentioned I had eyes on pumpkin bread and it was tasty -- dusted lightly on top with powdered sugar, well seasoned to taste like fall and sweet but not overly so. At $3 for a big piece, I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Wonderful croissants and pastries!!! I liked them a lot, though I got there too late in the day to get a ham and cheese croissant:( so sad. But, the almond croissant and Parisienne I got were wonderful! HOWEVER, what kinda bakery doesn't have an espresso machine? I wanted a delicious cappuccino with my pastry so badly! Overall, quite delicious! I also loved the general demeanor of the lady in the back. She was so welcoming! read more

Had a chance to check this new spot out. Ordered a delicious oatmeal scone and some really good ice coffee from 44 North. A place like this was sorely needed in the town of Belfast. The location is great too. Very close to the shops and right off Main Street. I will go back later today and get a refill and a croissant. read more

Came into downtown Belfast from Northport for a cup of real coffee. I bought a nice dark roast and noticed blueberry scones among the baked offerings. Knowing that my host likes blueberries, I bought all four on the plate. They were great...moist and delicious. The young man at the counter was friendly and efficient. Where I come from, "moonbat" is a term that so-called conservatives use to insult progressives. I take it as a point of pride to be a proud American who believes in the Constitution and equality for all, but I never did ask the guy at the counter what was up with the name. read more

Owner very nice allowed our well behaved dog in after the rush and the pastries were delish

This is one of my favorite places in town to get breakfast, I absolutely love the scones and the muffins. They also have these really good chocolate cookies, I think they are called peace cookies. I sometimes stop in here for a snack and grab an iced coffee as well, I just love the environment here. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and it's such a cozy atmosphere, I definitely recommend stopping in if your in the area! read more

I'm not much of a baked good connoisseur but I do visit this bakery. Coffee is always excellent. Decaf is my go to and equally as good. Last visit I had an oatmeal and walnut scone which was fabulous. I can also vouch for the sourdough berry muffins (major yum) and have yet to arrive early enough for the sizable coffee crumb cake. read more

Belfast is really coming alive. More and more amazing shops, and eateries are coming in and shining. Moonbat is no exception. An amazing place to stop and pick something up, or grab a table and paper, an amazing cup of coffee and soak up the atmosphere. The folks working there are super nice, lots of parking, and reasonably priced. I want to go enough that I can say I've tried it all... Did I mention the coffee? Try it, really full bodied without being thick or heavy. And the different pastries we have tried are out of this world good, yummy, without being heavy. A must stop for us now when we visit Belfast. read more

Yum! Flaky, chocolate Croissants, bigger than any I ever ate in France and containing more dark, rich chocolate...just one of many reasons to visit Moonbat Cafe. Now don't go for eggs and bacon or you'll be disappointed, but if you like tasty homemade pastries, including scones, cinnamon rolls, egg&ham croissants, cookies, etc., with good coffee and tea, then Moonbat Cafe is the place for you. Or, you can get items to go. Open Thursdays through Sunday's only. read more

Bright, clean and friendly coffee shop with wonderful home baked goods: croissants (melt-in-your-mouth buttery and flakey), muffins, scones. Good coffee and tea. No espresso. Large sitting area with sunshine and white tables. Not open every day so check their hours. Free WiFi read more

You can not go wrong when you go to Moonbat. There is always a great selection of fresh baked goods. It is always a delightful experience.

Moonbat is a great little bakery in Belfast. Make sure to get there early to snag some of the ham and cheese croissants! Everything there is hot and fresh, and they have really fantastic coffee. They have a nice little seating area if you want to sit and have breakfast, but you can also carry everything out. The Apple crostata, biscuits, and chocolate croissants are also favorites of mine, but you really can't go wrong with anything there. read more

This place is fabulous. You won't be sorry if you indulge yourself in these delicious baked treats. My favorite is the almond croissant although I may branch out and try something else before I leave town. The coffee is excellent, too. I've tried the other places in town that offer baked goods. This spot is the best. read more

Uh, no. I may have visited this place on an off day, but I was not impressed. At all. We went there for the ham and cheese croissants that other Yelpers have raved about. They were sold out. At 9 am on a Friday. Really? I got the raspberry sour cream muffin. Don't do it. It was a soggy mess of yuck. Also, the 12 year old operating the register seemed to lack any personality. Or at least one suited for customer service. Boo. read more

I have to give 5stars for Chef Berry being so nice to us and for the chocolate cookie being so rich and chewie. Hubby and I got there 2min. after the closing time. Most of baked goods were sold out but we were able to blueberry muffin and Berry gave us chocolate chip cookies for free and those were really good. cookies were rich in flavor and soft yet chewie. I will make sure to go visit Moonbat City Baking Co. when we are in Maine again. read more

You will not find better pastries many other places, and they are made with a lot of love and passion.

Cute bake shop at the top of the main hub. We stopped in looking for breakfast, and they were extremely helpful recommending kid friendly spots we should try (we were tired and already struck out at a few that either had stopped serving breakfast or had no high chair!) Baked goods all looked excellent. I'm a brownie snob, and they do a great job. :) There was this glazed cookie thing I wish I had tried!! Highly recommend this locally owned spot. Thanks for the great service. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Great! No cappuccino but good coffee and tea, and delicious pastries. Very clean kitchen!!!

The best chocolate chip cookie I've had in a long time. Also the biscuits are the best I've ever had. This bakery Has the art of baking down to a science. Not to be missed if your ever in Belfast Maine !!! read more

F*** you Paris. I finally know where to get a ham and cheese croissant as good (maybe better) as anything your city has to offer. My ratio of days in Maine to croissants eaten was very very close to 1 and this place was not open everyday I was there. For those of you with crappy math skills (probably most of you, since this is yelp and it is filled with self absorbed urban dwellers that think knowing how to eat is a skill, or worse yet, taking a picture of food you ORDERED not made ORDERED is somehow interesting) that means I ate more than one on the days they were open. I have no idea what the story is in this place. Are the two super nice older ladies that run it together? Are they new in town? Are they life long Mainers? Just moved to Maine from Paris? No clue. WHO CARES. The food is so good you simply wont give a s***. Dont just get one thing here. All of the stuff is good. The oatmeal cinnamon scone was so damn good I cursed out loud when I bit into it. The fact that this place is real and you could eat here should make the sad, tasteless, thawed out from a freezer truck, made in factory starbucks pastries hide themselves in shame. Seriously people, dont eat that crap. read more

When a 5* rating is given, Yelpers know that it's "As good as it gets" and honestly Moonbat City Baking Co. is just that. Michelle, chef extraordinaire, certainly knows how to bake! The blueberry muffins were amazing and the cinnamon twists were heaven on earth. And the 44 North Coffee that I paired with my treats was just the icy delight I needed on that hot and steamy Saturday afternoon. If you get a chance to visit Belfast, do yourself a favor and stop in a grab a twist or two. :-) read more

SO GOOD!!!! best baked goods in Belfast. I have stopped before work twice in a row. The bakery is only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We had a chocolate croissant (BEST CROISSANT EVER!) and blueberry sourcream muffin and chocolate cookies between the two days. read more

I walked in the front door and was greeted by... an empty room and the sound of shouting, which I followed to its source: a woman behind the counter behind the counter. She spoke to her regulars, she did not speak to me. Oh, they don't have bread. It must be so nice to find a brightly colored escape from the excellent offerings at Chase's Daily down the road. My $2.19 bagel was fine, handed to me silently by the teenaged girl behind the counter. Ah, what an oasis this must be! What a niche filled. I felt like I had stepped right into Martha's Vineyard! read more

The best croissants (ham & cheese and choc) we've had in ages! So good we wanted one the next morning before we left town, but alas they were closed on Memorial Day. Oh and the service was delightful - so friendly and welcoming. A must if you're in the area! read more

Good coffee and pastries. Highly recommend the scones and croissants. We did not enjoy the brownie, it was hard and dry. Limited hours, check before you go read more

Wonderful little place in Belfast. Fresh-baked items made with love by actual hands! The raspberry muffins were incredible and their croissants are peerless. read more

Welcoming group behind the counter. Savory and sweet pastries. I had the coffee rolls and croissants which were excellent. Coffee from local Mainers. Can't wait to go back. It's a must stop when you're in the area. read more

Really nice spot. Great decor, good coffee, and delicious baked goods. I had read the reviews saying "Get there early for the croissants" and I got there at 7:40 a.m. on a Sunday. They were already sold out! Apparently folks had lined up at 7:00 to buy them all. That may not be true on weekdays, and it's probably not true in other seasons (this was August), but be warned! There were still chocolate croissants and other delicious things, it was just the plain ones that were sold out. read more

Amazing! If you are lucky enough to get a chance to eat here you will not be disappointed! We came late, so the early morning crowd cleaned up most of the selection but they were quick to tell us that more was in the oven. We had the scallion/cheddar biscuit, the ham and cheese croissant and the sour cream coffee cake muffin. All were so delicious! I am afraid the croissant was SO good I will dream of it. Definitely worth the wait. read more

wonderful place and you will definitely leave with a smile and yummy treats for breakfast

Love! Incredible croissants and muffins. Coffee delicious but could be a tad stronger to my taste. Friendly service and local scene as its a block or 2 off the main drag. read more

Raspberry croissant was good but a little pricey. I stopped at Hannaford the next day and got comparable pieces for $1.29 versus $3.50. Location is convenient to downtown and the flow of tourists. read more

I've never been treated so rude in my life. I will never return to this local bakery. Clearly not how Maine should be!

One of the best pastry experiences I've had in a quite a while. I will travel many miles for well made pastry. We are planning a trip back to Belfast just to try Moonbat City Baking again. Their dark roast coffee was great as well. A "do not miss" destination if you're driving up the coast. read more

A local recommended we try this place and I agree it is worth a stop. Located in a cute brick house, the middle / ground floor has been converted to a cafe with fresh and cheerful green walls and bright white trim and furniture. Self help pump pots serve a variety of coffee and off-the-shelf tea choices. The display case showcases loafs of bread, cookies, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls. We heard several people request the allegedly delicious blueberry muffins but they were sold out so we were unable to verify. Sounds like a good reason to go back. They served the muffins on glass plates and it would be nice if they added real mugs for the tea and coffee, as well as increasing their tea choices. They're only open till 2pm as they only offer baked items. It might be smart to add some light lunch items (prepackaged deli salads maybe?) as the limited fare doesn't seem to be enough of a draw to walk a block off the main drag to visit. However, open only a month or two, they seem to be off to a good start and I hope they stick around to provide an alternative to Chase's Daily down the street, which tends to be wildly busy. Best of luck to this appealing new business. read more

Walked into Moonbat this morning and i thought I'd gone to heaven! I bought a variety of goodies because I couldn't choose just one thing, afraid that I'd miss something incredible. I ordered the spinach and cheese croissant which was wonderfully savory, the snails which are made from their croissant dough and layered with a unique and tasty orange spice (these came fresh out of the oven; the brown sugar scones were yummy and moist; and gluten-free muffins were so good it changed my previous opinion of GF baked goods! So bottom line is: everything we ate was awesome! The best we've had anywhere on the eastern seaboard! read more

Absolutely top notch bakery in little Belfast. Crostatas, croissants, and muffins are highlights but everything is good. This is a small operation where new treats come out throughout the morning, so be flexible and you won't be disappointed. Love! read more

Positive experience. Enjoyed the chocolate bouchon, chocolate chip cookies, and iced coffee. A number of other delicious items were out by the time we arrived in the late morning. Friendly owners behind the counter and in the kitchen. Will come back earlier next time. read more

This place is the cats pajamas! I come to town occasionally on business and love to stop in here for a cuppa Joe and a snack. The staff is wonderful and the food and coffee are great. The old building has a very authentic Belfast feel and the staff is always friendly but never overbearing. read more

This bakery has the very BEST croissants - and I have eaten them all over the world, including Paris, so I know a good croissant when I eat one! Also - the cinnamon snails are just about unbelievable - she uses croissant dough, I believe, to make what is commonly called a cinnamon curl. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Thanks for bringing to Belfast another wonderful eatery. read more
