Blue Moon Cafe

Overall experience was great. We were seated right away. It’s a tight space with seating for about 10-15 couples/families. The entire wait staff was super polite and timely. The food was delicious. It also came out pretty fast. The pancakes were hot, the sausage was superb, and the eggs were prepared as they were asked to be., For the freshness and taste the price in my opinion is well worth it. I saw a few things on the menu I wanted to try. I’ll save that for the next visit.

Amazing breakfast! It was on my "plan to visit" list for a long time because there's always a bit of a wait but it's definitely worth the wait. Plus if the weather is nice, there's plenty of things to check out in Fell's Point in the mean time. I got the cap'n crunch French toast and their standard breakfast. The French toast is amazingly decadent. I thought the cereal might dry it out a bit but it didn't at all. A nice subtle crunch and all the toppings on it really added to the experience. Best restaurant whipped cream I've ever had. The standard breakfast your usual mix of eggs, breakfast meat (I got bacon), and hash browns. I like their hash browns, nice and crispy, good fresh eggs, and thick crispy bacon the way I like it. My husband got the Julio's tacos and I had a bite and they were delicious. Great chorizo, and the light crispiness of the tacos made them a step above any breakfast taco I've had.

This place is nice and cozy. The environment is calm. The menu is a QR code so make sure to have your phone handy. The food was incredibly great! I will definitely return. Today is Friday morning about 8 am , there was no wait.

Classic Baltimore experience! If you are visiting, I’d highly recommend it. If you are a local, take the drive and treat yo self. You’ve earned it. I had the sweet baby Jesus. It’s a truly Maryland breakfast experience. Worth every penny!

Okay. So you need to know the lore. I have been trying to get in this is restaurant for 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒. I finally got in today. Here’s my review: The food was ball drop amazing The atmosphere was amazing loved the little trinkets and the blue paraphernalia. Please get the French toast captain crunch if you know what’s good for you. It was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Otherwise why are you even going. 10/10, my final review is if you can’t get in the first time…fourth time is the charm.

Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore is a charming little gem with a retro vibe and a warm, homey atmosphere. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a cheerful and welcoming staff that instantly set a positive tone for the experience. The place is a bit small and cozy — which adds to its character — and the colorful, quirky artwork on the walls (which is also for sale) gives it a creative, artistic flair that really ties the space together. While the food was a bit on the bland side for my taste, a dash of hot sauce, salt, and pepper brought it to life. I later learned that their most popular dish is “Sweet Baby Jesus” — wish I had tried that! All in all, a memorable spot worth visiting for the ambiance and good vibes alone. I’d definitely come back to try their fan favorites!

This is an exceptional place for breakfast which should not be missed. The cinnamon bun is amazing, the french toast must be tried as must anything with crabs in it. The wait can be over an hour, but is often less than the time stated as a lot of people give up on waiting (rookie mistake). Queue is shorter earlier in my experience.

This was my first visit, and I already can’t wait to return. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and breakfast was absolutely delicious. I loved the overall vibe and atmosphere—it’s such a great spot. Definitely worth checking out whether you’re local or just visiting for the weekend!

EASILY my favorite breakfast restaurant. I cannot recommend it enough if you go to Baltimore city. Food's great, comes out fast and the ambiance is AMAZING. Only downside is that it takes FOREVER, to get in, and that wouldn't be a problem if they had like, a waitlist that lets you know they're ready through text instead of having the waitress who checks people in yell your name after 45 minutes. Overall, if you're really patient, you'll have a good time. :)

Worth the wait (and you WILL wait - no reservations here). You walk up, you write your name and party size on a note pad, and you patiently wait for an open table inside this quirky boutique sized hidden gem. If you came for the sweet baby Jesus, you won't be disappointed. You also won't eat for the rest of the day unless your stomach is a bottomless pit. The servings are plentiful as are the personalities of the wait staff. They're famous for a reason. Get there! I'd love if they had a crispier bacon - my only critique. You're kinda bullied (in a good way) to get the cinnamon roll. It was fluffy but also try, and not too sweet. Not sure I'd order it again but they're made from scratch daily and you can taste the love.

Wowie!!! I stopped here on a busy Sunday morning and got my name on the list. I imagine it was quite a wait, but as a solo diner, I didn't have to wait long to be seated at the bar (only three stools). The staff was an absolute blast and having fun while also being friendly. I ordered the Cap'n Crunch French toast. Holy moly. It was SOOOOOOOOO good!! And it's didn't tear up the top of my mouth, like regular Cap'n Crunch. It was really so tasty; I won't forget it anytime soon. Overall, it was a great experience. The space isn't very big, so I'm not sure about accommodating larger parties, especially with what a hot spot it appears to be. Regardless, enjoy!

My friend treated me to Blue Moon Café for my birthday. The space at this location is pretty limited but thankfully we were able to be seated pretty quick. I was tempted to get one of the French toast options but I ordered the autumn omelette instead. It was a nice serving of eggs, spiced apple sausage and cheddar cheese. I substituted the eggs for egg whites and opted for the cheesy grits as my side. OMG!!! This was delicious! The grits was so creamy and had the right amount of cheddar cheese. It wasn't too overwhelming or salty. The balance was perfect. The sausage apples and egg whites went really well together. I've never paired hooked apples on any type of omelettes, so this was different for me. But in a good way. Our server was great too. My next visit will be to try one of those French toast options.

We absolutely love Blue Moon & Blue Moon Too, and make sure we go at least a couple of visits a year when we are in town. Today was definitely our lucky day. When we arrived, they said the wait was 45 minutes, but we were seated in about 10 minutes!!! Max was our main server and she was awesome!! We knew what we wanted as soon as we sat down because we always order the same thing, The Sweet Baby Jesus & the Captain Crunch French Toast!! They literally have every nook and cranny filled with tables because it gets that busy. We were nestled at a table for two at the window and it was perfect. Despite how busy they were, the service was great and the food came out pretty quick. As always every bite was delicious and it's worth every penny. You can't get that amount of lump crab meat anywhere else! The flavor profile of each dish is a perfect 10. If you've never been, it's a must have in Baltimore. You just have to be willing to sit in close quarters of other diners. If you're claustrophobic, the Blue Moon Too location is a bit more spread out.

Small artsy restaurant was incredible for breakfast. Wifey and I shared "sweet baby Jesus " omelet. A delicious combination of cheese egg and a lot of delicious crab meat. The crab was a plentiful amount of mouth watering lump goodness. Service was spot on. Go here for breakfast!

This was my second time here and it is such a great breakfast spot. The staff are fun and friendly. We came around 9am on a Saturday and by 9:30am, there were quite a few folks standing around waiting for a table. So glad we came when we did and were able to dine immediately. For food, we shared the Sweet Baby Jesus and Sin Roll French Toast. The Sweet Baby Jesus had a good amount of crab meat and the French toast wasn't overly sweet. It was a good pair off between the savory and sweet dish - both were great! This is a fun and casual breakfast spot. Just get there early enough to avoid waiting!

Blue moon is a neighborhood staple. My mom and I wanted to hang out and grab some breakfast. Parking is usually tough but we both got spots right outside of the door. We put our names on the list and within 20 min we're drinking coffee. Our server was busy but took our orders and delivered it piping hot in a timely fashion. My sausage wrap was delicious. The prices were what are to be expected in fells point. Everything was pretty good.

It was Friday, I had the day off and I just finished a stroll around Patterson Park. My stomach started to growl and I figured I'd eat something local for breakfast. I stumbled across Blue Moon Cafe. I barely found a parking spot on the street and to my surprise there was a line outside. We walked in to a dimly lit place and there was a seat by the window in this cozy restaurant. We were served quickly and we both enjoyed the full moon breakfast with modifications. My order included french toast, eggs, sausage and a side of grits. My wife's order included blueberry pancakes, eggs and turkey sausage. All the food was well cooked and tasty. Nothing stood out, but everything was good. I would definitely go back again, but my tips would be to make a reservation if you can or pack your patience for a wait and give yourself time to find a parking spot.

The French toast is amazingly and surprisingly tasty!! The pumpkin spices add a special favor into the toast, crispy and creamy! The location is a bit unsafe so make sure to lock your car and park at a safer spot!

What a great little find in the middle of Fells Point in Baltimore. Yelp for the win here! We arrived at 11am on a Friday morning and waited for about 30 minutes for a table (in the rain, but no worries - added to the experience!). They called our name and we were seated at the cutest two top right next to the window. The place is TINY. If we had been seated anywhere else it would have felt squished I think. Our server was quick and attentive and helpful to accommodate my no dairy and no gluten diet. The food was incredible. I got the Hellfire Hash with chorizo and black beans - so big and filling. My daughter got the Full Moon and Cakes plus a side of hash browns (yes, she ate it all willingly!). Fun place and would go back - just take note of the wait time and the $$$

AMAZING FOOD. Highly recommend - restaurant was packed for a Monday brunch time. Upon arrival they had us write our names down it was a bit packed in there probably be better if one person checks in the whole party. They had a few tables outside with umbrellas. Service was fast from ordering our food to eating. Would definitely go back when I'm in the area. I would suggest getting the g&g country scramble! We also ordered a sin bun to go which the waitress said she would put one aside since they were already running low by 10am

Cool small place. Has a creepy but cool vibe. We came for breakfast. The servers are busy for a small joint. They are good friendly attentive and busy. My wife ordered the sweet baby jesus. It was crab and eggs dish that was very good and the sweet fresh crab was awesome. I ordered the hell fire hash. I wished it had more fire. Not hot enough for me but it was delicious hash browns were crunchy and delicious the eggs perfect and the other add one were delicious. You should try this place out

A solid lunch spot in Fells for the weekend! The ambiance is very warm and the servers have a great personality and make the whole brunch experience really fun. The cinnamon roll was huge and so decadent. They did sell out, and we got one of the last ones around 1:30 PM. The hash browns were also very delicious with some hot sauce. The cap n crunch French toast which is famous at the cafe, and has been on Food Network was quite delicious and tasted exactly like eating a bowl of the cereal. The chili rellano was my least favorite and tasted a little bland, with just the pobalano pepper and cotija. But overall a great breakfast spot with a lively atmosphere!

Food was Delicious!!! Definitely would recommend this place if you're in the area or stopping by for a short trip as we did.

A Baltimore institution also happens to be a great place to take kids. On an overnight trip to Baltimore with my eight-year-old daughter, we popped into Blue Moon Cafe (their OG location) for breakfast. Here's our experience. 1) Experience: From the beginning, my daughter was impressed by Blue Moon Cafe. There's a giant mural on the side of its building. Once we walked in on a Sunday in February, staff greeted us and directed us to pick any table we wanted. (Going in around 8:30am on Sunday, we beat the crowd by 30 minutes.) The staff were very friendly and approachable. They got to know us and were very efficient with everything. 2) Food: Of course, we got their famous Captain Crunch French Toast. It comes in a stack with a giant mound of whipped cream with fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and green apples) on top. There's syrup already on the table. 3) Space: The OG location is dark, but cozy with lots of interesting things to look at on the walls. The small bathroom in the back comes with bat wallpaper, which my daughter thought was funny. If you're on a budget, be warned that their prices are more steep than other spots. Their food is worth every penny.

There is an OBNOXIOUS waitress yelling Sweet baby Jesus and Captain crunch french toast all the time. Other than that, the food is good. The waitlist system on the weekend is very inefficient. There were multiple annoyed customers whose name wasn't called for over 90 min due to the hostess's mistake. No apologies made. I would recommend going on a weekday or on the day that particular waitress is off duty. Customer service isn't their strong suit but again the food is good.

Have been to both locations on several occasions and one of the best brunch places out there. We shared the Captain Crunch French toast and a breakfast sandwich (egg, cheddar, bacon on a fluffy buttermilk biscuit). Outstanding iced coffee and quick service. And appreciated the selection of 80s music on the speakers. Parking is a challenge but it is worth it!!

Located in Fell's point has been a staple in the area. Small quaint spot. But plenty of empty seats on a weekday at 1pm. Service was fast and friendly. A 20% gratuity is already added for party of 4 or more. Signs everywhere saying that too. That said, was very happy with the service. Food was very good. I didn't try the French toast, but the tacos were pretty good. The hash browns were okay. My wife really enjoyed her order which was basically a crab omelette I guess served with has browns. My sister and brother in law had the French toasts which looked really good. Would come again.

Quirky spot and the food is yum! Service was great. Got the half stack of captain crunch French toast because I couldn't decide between that and the hobo hash. So I got both. Portions for the hobo hash could probably be for two.

Decided to come to Blue Moon Cafe because it had been YEARS since I had been! While the location is completely different, the restaurant itself still had the same energetic vibe. I will say it is very small and does get crowded quickly, and they do not take reservations. Our waitress Nicki was THE BEST! Her energy is unmatched. She was so super friendly, talkative, and made you feel super welcomed! We had the hobo eggs, captain crunch French toast, and the blue moon breakfast. All of the food was great but the French toast was probably the best we've ever had! A good 10 years later and Blue Moon did not disappoint!

Omg, I LOVED the cap'n crunch french toast! I was hesitant because I was scared it would be toooo sweet. It was just the right amount of sweetness! It also comes with a good amount of fruits.

Never misses! Always a great experience here - whether you're looking for a healthy basic breakfast or some kind of treat they have it all!

All the food options were amazing! Cannot say enough good things about the Sin Roll, melts in your mouth, and huge! Shared easily with 2 people. Service was friendly and fast, cashiers were all smiles and engaging. Loved the art work and vibe of this place. Completely agree with their slogan, as this is "One Bad Ass (place to get) Breakfast" !!!

I came here for brunch with 3 friends on a Sunday midmorning ~10:30 am. There was a line but it went by fast, about a 45 minute wait time. We were not given the ability to sit inside (though it was cold) and were told that if we did not accept the free table outside we would have to go to the bottom of the list, which I didn't like. There are no heaters outside but we did dress warmly so there was no removal of jackets or hats or mittens. This place is popular but I can't see myself becoming a regular here, especially due to the prices. They have an electronic menu which isn't kept up to date and is missing several menu items, including the basics like hot tea. Parking nearby is tricky; I'd recommend browsing the nearby side streets including several blocks down on Ann St. and around for your best bet. Hot chocolate 2.5/5, this was okay, I would not order this again, I think I was feeling festive but this really didn't do much for me Hot coffee 3/5, my 3 friends all ordered this and noted it was just a standard drip coffee Classic Benedict w turkey bacon substitute 4.5/5, both myself and a friend got this. I enjoyed the Hollandaise sauce they used in this but the English muffin was a bit softer than I am used to which was interesting, but overall I think I would prefer it to be more standardly toasted. This came with a side of hash browns that were nicely crunchy. Apple pie French toast 4.5/5, two friends of mine ordered this, one wishes there were more apples another wishes there was a nut option to add some crunch to this Side of hashbrowns 4/5, my friend ordered this but this was not as crunchy as other hashbrowns that came with the benedict, so there's a lack of standardization Side of bacon 4.5/5, my friend ordered this and noted it was a thicker cut of meat which she liked and not too much fat which she also liked

They have a variety of options on the menu. I came here with a group of 4 and we were sat within 30 minutes on a Saturday morning which was great. They have mainly indoor seating. They have a cool art vibe.

We were visiting the area and needed a breakfast spot mid-week. Since it was a Thursday and mid-morning, it was easy to find parking, and we only waited five minutes for a seat. I don't think I'd even try it on the weekend. The space is tightly packed, with minimal indoor seating and a few outdoor options. However, service was speedy, so tables were turning over reasonably quickly. They seemed to have two people working in the same areas, so they'd come over to ask if the other person had already taken our order, making it seem disorganized. But that doesn't bother me. I'd rather be checked in on than ignored. We had the Cap'n Crunch French Toast, Pina Colada French Toast, and Sweet Baby Jesus. We found everything tasty, though the Pina Colada French Toast was very sweet and probably would have been better as a half order. The Sweet Baby Jesus had a ton of crab in it, so the higher price was justified. The hash browns were also super crunchy in mine, which other reviewers commented wasn't the case when they ordered. Overall, I'd go back, but absolutely not on the weekend or at a prime meal time.

The hellfire mash was very tasty, there was a lot of crispy hash brown potatoes, cheese, black beans, salsa, and the two eggs were perfectly fried. Service was pretty quick however they may be a long line if there are a lot of people waiting, so be prepared to wait. The decoration inside is dark-ish and gives astrology vibes.

A little pricey French toast was 20 alone but the food was worth EVERY Penny they close at 3:00pm

Table split an order of the Sweet Baby Jesus and Captain Crunch French Toast, as our waitress told us they were featured on The Food Network. Delicious but restaurant was super hot inside and needed some TLC hygiene-wise...

As a Baltimore native, this visit was long overdue. I already expected a long wait time given what I knew about the restaurant, so be expected for that. Otherwise, the service was good as was my food. My entree (G&G Country Scramble) didn't live up to the hype of Blue Moon, but I did taste the Cap n Crunch French Toast from my friend and it's a must try.

I was always dying to check this place out but know it gets busy on weekends. I happened to be off on a weekday and finally checked it out with no wait. I love how eclectic their menu is and so is the decor. I loved the cap n crunch french toast!

(Updated rating) the service was good and there was a nice homey ambiance to the restaurant. I started with orange juice and it was good and definitely tasted like it was freshly squeezed but it was 4.50 for a cup with full price for another. Next was the cinnamon roll and it was pretty underwhelming it had a oatmeal type of taste to it that really stood out and it was very different to other cinnamon rolls l've had. Next was the ham and cheese veggie omelette with hash browns and this was very good. They made sure to give a good amount of the toppings for the omelette and the hash brown was pretty big too. Finally I had the popular cap n crunch French toast and it tasted pretty good + it looked amazing. Would be open to returning and would recommend.

Best crab eggs Benedict I've ever had. Also all the French toast options are amazing. BYOB restaurant

Wow! I've been following Guy Fieri on his trail of Diners Drive Ins and Dives and he has been on the money every time so far, so I stopped into the Blue Moon Cafe. The place was poppin' which is a good indicator of great food. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a friendly staff member who gave some great recommendations. I went with the Hellfire Hash because I love chorizo, but stayed true to the DDD form and ordered the Captn Crunch French Toast which brought my taste buds to Flavortown! Love the Halloween decor throughout the place and I loved the staff's tshirt even more as it read 'Bad *ss Breakfast' on the back which was absolutely true. What a pleasure to eat here!

I've picked up orders her for UE several times and look around at all these amazing plates, like, I gotta try this place out. I finally woke up early, placed a pickup order (because they be packed packed) and drove over to grab it. Not only was it ready on time, but still hot when handed over. I ordered the G&G scramble because I loveeee some sausage and gravy. Portion? YUGE. Taste? Bomb. I definitely have a list of things to try next; I'm going to try a weekday breakfast to get the in-restaurant experience. But I get it. The hype is justified.

Post half-marathon brunch Everything about Blue Moon Cafe was delightful The taste and presentation of the food The cleanliness and overall vibe of the restaurant is great And the service is excellent as well. This was my first experience with Blue Moon cafe but may not be my last. I especially enjoyed the French toast

The breakfast here is pure bliss for the soul. I'd highly recommend getting a stack of waffles (we tried the fruit loops flavor which shocked me how good it was) and the animal fries which were fantastic. I get why this is a breakfast staple in Bmore and highly recommend for anyone looking for a hearty morning meal

Outstanding breakfast! We arrived early in the morning and were the first ones up the stairs and into the funky offbeat Blue Moon Cafe. The manager was smiling, the staff were friendly. We had a spectacular breakfast. The Sin Roll, a bread filed with cinnamon sugar and slathered with rich creamy glaze. A veggie omelette with crunchy has fries. Churro French toast, deep fried with a crust of sugar-cinammon. A fruit plate to keep us healthy. Amazing!

This location has street parking only. It might take a few minutes to find parking. The first time we tried it was mid morning and they were super busy with a long wait. We tried again early morning and we had success with parking and getting a table right away. The service is excellent. Our server was lovely. Since it wasn't busy yet we got our food quickly. It is small inside with a few tables outside with some quirky signs. I was really enjoying my hellfire hash until I found a small piece of plastic in the food. That brought the experience down a few stars which I was really sad about. They offered to remake it but it was kind of ruined for me. My husband enjoyed his breakfast of eggs, bacon and Hash browns. The Hashbrowns were crunchy and the bacon on the thicker side. He did mention it was a little greasy but good

The Hellfire Hash is beyond amazing! The staff is incredible, and the restaurant is a hidden gem.

My husband and I were in town for the Ravens game and he stumbled upon this gem for breakfast. We totally checked it out and it was absolutely AMAZING. The presentation of the food, was immaculate. The service was great, attentive, and friendly. Ambiance was relaxed. We'll be back and recommend for sure. Thank you Blue Moon Cafe.

I put my name on the wait list and was told 40 minutes. Seconds later two groups put their names on the list and then were instantly seated. One was bigger one was same size. Food was mediocre but priced high. Service sucked. Several better places within walking distance.

Always dependable service and great food. Took my dad here as soon as I picked him up from the airport. Portions are great

Always a bit of a wait on weekends after 10 but line moves quickly. Love the interior vibe and all the staff. The crab omelette is incredible and I order it most times I go here! The cap n crunch French toast is also a must- we get it to share for the table typically, probably one of my favorite French toasts I've ever had!!

A baltimore classic brunch spot! I got the homemade cinnamon roll. This is the densest sweetest most heart attack like cinnamon roll you will ever consume... and it is worth every bite! Everyone was so kinda and friendly! We did have to wait a little while (Sunday brunch time but to be expected). Overall was a great experience!

Great breakfast with big portions. I got the spicy crab, tomatoes, and pepper jack omelet. My husband got the Sweet Baby Jesus. The hash browns were delicious. I enjoyed my omelet a lot. We sat at the bar and the servers were friendly. Decor is Halloween-y, which was interesting. $30 per dish is a bit high, but I guess our dishes did have crab. They include 20% gratuity for checks over $50 or 4+ guests. Overall I'm glad I got to try Blue Moon while visiting Baltimore!

What might not look like much on the outside is surely deceiving to the inside. We got our names on the wait list and waited about an hour but it is well worth it ! The inside is rather unique, an amazing metal stamped ceiling with somewhat of a gothic, Halloween type decor. Very inviting and really cool !! Staff were hustling and extremely friendly, welcoming, attentive and helpful ...... The only word that I could think of regarding all of the food selections is "Twisted" Each dish is very unique and prepared with culinary art and love and passion to give the guest a most wonderful taste bud experience !! I would guide you to check their website for their menu, it would be too much to type ... Out selections were absolutely out of this world Each dish is uniquely crafted and the flavors are perfectly twisted ..... If in Fells Point, you owe yourself to stop in and enjoy some breakfast or brunch ... You can also BYOB .... Outstanding !!!!!

The interior is jam packed, limited outside seating.. the interior also looks a bit of an homage to Edgar Allan Poe for some reason. So this joint gets super crowded. Walked by it both Saturday and Sunday. No chance on either day without being on a massive waitlist, but.. I got in on Monday with a shorter (~10ish minute) wait. Place was featured on the Food Network in various capacities, most recently on Guy Fieri's show I think... and also it's located at one of the few decent non sketchy parts of Baltimore, so I guess that helps huh? I got the Cinnamon Toast French Toast. Now, it was $20 for this, whereas the other French toast selections actually looked *better* and *cheaper* (~$16ish?) but I was goaded into getting their super famous speciality. It was fine for what it was, basically just a deluxe French toast with cinnamon toast cereal pieces and dusting. Not really groundbreaking or innovative but, I mean how can you screw up French toast and/or Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Anyway, was it worth a try? Not really. There's so many other breakfast places and brunch places I'd rank over it overall, this one just has the tv cred which doesn't automatically make it better. I'd probably get something else next time, if I ever go back.
