Blue Moose Cafe

Easily the best breakfast spot I’ve ever been to! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I had the salmon omelet and it was incredible—perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and light but filling at the same time. The portions are generous, the coffee is strong and smooth, and every plate that came out of the kitchen looked just as tempting. The atmosphere makes it even better. Cozy, welcoming, and buzzing with good energy, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. The staff is friendly, quick, and always makes you feel at home. If you’re looking for a breakfast experience that leaves you smiling the rest of the day, this is it.

My husband had the Basic Breakfast and I had the Veggie hash with two eggs over easy, basically a deconstructed veggie omelette. It was excellent! Fresh veggies were cooked just right, still with some texture and crunch. Eggs were perfect consistency. Their homemade wheat toast reminded us of the Bergen bread we made at a recent baking class in Vermont. Seeds galore! And there was a touch of tart reminiscent of sourdough.

Quaint and quirky is definitely how I describe the blue moose. A local favorite, this spot offers comfort food at reasonable rates. I was looking for places off the beaten path of the tourists in town and found this place. Was not disappointed. As an old line cook, I felt right at home in the blue moose. Cleared my plate and had 2 cups of coffee without feeling overly full. Definitely recommend.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Blue Moose Cafe, and it was an awesome experience. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that exceeded our expectations. In my opinion you cannot go wrong with their eggs benedict. Although there was a short wait to be seated, it was well worth it as the overall dining experience more than made up for it. I highly recommend the Blue Moose Cafe to anyone looking for excellent food and exceptional service.

We came here for breakfast during what must have been one of their busiest times—Labor Day weekend, around 9 a.m. on Sunday. Even so, the food was delicious, the service remained attentive, and the atmosphere was wonderfully cozy. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful spot for breakfast. Definitely a locals favorite. The vibe is laid back, friendly and cheerful. Small, but cozy and comfortable. The food was outstanding and the service was top notch. We had about 2 hours to kill before we caught a ferry across and asked the staff for recommendations. They were over the top helpful and kind. Really fun and kitschy wall art!

Great service. Good food. They have a small kitchen. Take it easy, relax and enjoy your stay.

I am torn about writing this review. The food at the Blue Moose Cafe was amazing. We enjoyed every bite of the biscuits & gravy, pancakes, and salmon omelet. However, the workers are very aggressive. This cafe is tiny. Being a tourist, I wasn't aware that if you are not sitting at a booth you weren't welcome in the restaurant. I didn't see any signs indicating waiting would be done outside, but the worker was sure to let me know. It was 20 degrees and raining but we stood outside for 40 minutes waiting for our turn. The food was not worth the misery.

The food was delicious! Best breakfast I've had in the area and we travel here every year. Staff was attentive, friendly and cute. Coffee is great, from the nearby Sunshine Co. Bacon! OMG Popular place , so parking is not easy to find, but it is SO worth it! Looking forward to our next PT trip to return to the Blue Moose!!!

Food: Worth the money. Generous portions. Tasty. Lots of options - even for non-meat eaters. I had the corned beef hash - recommend sharing. It was a lot - a lot of delicousness. RECOMMEND: Start with some coffee and Homemade Pecan Cardamom Coffee Cake. It was SO GOOD!! Service: On point. Attentive. Friendly. Ambiance: It's small, quaint, homey. NOT a chain restaurant so it's quirky and charming. Parking: Be patient, you'll find a spot. I don't know if it's family owned but it sure gave off that vibe. Every person we interacted with were super friendly. Side note: When we were there, it seemed like one of their staff in the kitchen was sick so everyone was chipping in - so maybe they aren't a family but they're definitely a team.

We stopped by on a Sunday morning. Food was good, service was friendly! They had us seated within 20mins, the place was busy but everyone seemed happy and enjoying their food. Menu variety was great for everyone. We were super happy with our food choice and loved that they had locally roasted coffee beans. We sat outside with our Pup and had no issues. Highly recommend!

The breakfast burritos! Might just be the best one I've had. Got a regular one adding avocado and bacon. Love the vibe of this spot.

Substantial quantities of great diner food served by friendly waitresses. We went there two days in a row!

I'd give 6 stars if I could! Hard to go to any other breakfast spot when we're in port Angeles. They have fun options, the Ode to Ina lives rent free in my head and heart. Maritime diner feels with bomb vegetarian options too. The sweetest service, your liberal auntie runs this place. There was a small wait so we sat at the counter and ate warmed sour cream cardamom coffee cake with some good ol drip, and then got seated and ugh just truly immaculate food and vibes, eat here.

Sure it's in a marina. And maybe parking is hit and miss. And maybe you'll like the kitsch in the marina or inside the restaurant. And then the food. Very good and creative. Our table had three things that were well worth having again. The smoked salmon scramble, the smoked salmon omlette, and Ina which is a polenta with black beans and corn topped with a fried egg and a nut based patty that was very enjoyable. The coffee *with* some cream was also good (I'm somewhat of a coffee snob). The folks here are incredibly attentive and welcoming with their service. We have been here a number of times before and make it a required stop in Port Townsend.

I'm pretty much a regular at the Moose so I don't know why I haven't written a review before today! I have NEVER had anything but a terrific meal here. I used to go with scooters and the South of the Border eggs with jalapeños but a couple of years ago I tried the Corned Beef hash and have never gone back. There are serious chunks of corned beef in the hash and they are thrown on the flattop with the potatoes and onions so there's a nice crisp on most of the pieces. The seasoning on the beef is terrific and potatoes are melt-in-your mouth! We get the hash with three over easy eggs and they are exactly that way. Not overcooked. Service is prompt and the staff is friendly. I'm still amazed that so many meals come out of that tiny kitchen. Yes on weekends you'd better expect a line. But if the weather's nice and it's Uber busy, we order ours to go and pop over to the beach and sit on a log to eat. It's perfect!

The waitress was very friendly and efficient. The hash was excellent and there was way too much of it. We shared it and still took some back home. I recommend this as a breakfast spot.

Yearly Girls trip and we always stop here for breakfast. Service is quick even if there's a line out the door. We always get it to go so then they give you a beeper and we take a walk about down towards water. Ordered Denver style omelet, south of the border scramble, and a vegetarian omelet. Tasty and filling. Worth a try if your in town!!

Food was great but the service was slow and the lady at the cash register was rude. My name is Alexa and one of their Amazon Alexa's went off and I noticed, turned around thinking someone was talking to me, and the lady at the counter acted like I was a crazy person. She looked at me judgingly and said, "Seems like you might need a little more of something..." implying maybe I needed meds or alcohol or something? I don't know what that meant but it made me feel really bad for getting confused. Not to mention it took forever for our food to come out. Won't be going back!

Delicious food and coffee and great service make this little hidden gem shine! We loved it all.

While the seating area is a little smaller and the parking is pretty full - it is definitely worth the stop. We were seated immediately and got our food pretty quickly too. It has a very cute small-town diner feel and the food was amazing - expect to leave with a very full stomach. Portions were awesome and not for a bad price!

Such good diner food. Massive corn beef hash - crispy and tender at the same time. Home fries were cooked and seasoned well. Fluffiest of fluffy pancakes. would recommend.

My husband and I were going to go for brunch, but the wait was long, so we ordered to go. The breakfast burrito was pretty good, as was the bacon. Unfortunately, the pancake we ordered, which is marketed as light and fluffy, was dense and rubbery. :(

The Blue Moose is a funky little place down in the industrial marine area. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. The area is quite small, I didn't count the tables, but there's probably about 10 2-tops and 4-tops combined. Their kitchen is super tiny, about the size of a large walk-in closet, so your meal may take a while if they are at capacity. That said, the food is great! Most, if not all, of their dishes are made from scratch. The corned beef hash and biscuits are delicious. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They are very laid back and don't press you for time in an attempt to turn tables, but keep this in mind when it's busy, and please be considerate of other guests waiting to dine. A little courtesy and thoughtfulness feels good, especially these days.

Definitely recommend! I just saw the food and I knew it was gonna be good. Food came out really hot which I was so greatful for The service is great too, they are very welcoming and kept checking up on us. The vibe is nice and calm but we came for breakfast.

What a delight! Order pretty much whatever you want. Staff is polite, friendly and professional. I had a scramble of 2 eggs, spinach, bacon and cheddar cheese. They didn't skimp of spinach like a lot of people do. Potatoes could use a little paprika or smoked paprika, a little bland but still very good! It wasn't busy, but they only do fresh so breakfast took about 10 minutes. I will definitely be back.

This place is a must stop every time we visit PT! The food is amazing, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Parking can be a challenge when it's busy and there can be a wait but trust me - it's worth it! We had our dog with us, and she was able to sit next to us at the table outside. The server was kind in pointing out the dog water bowl near the entrance to the outside area too. I look forward to our next trip!

A solid cafe for breakfast. The cafe is located in a ship/boat yard. Always busy and often there is a wait. We all a typical breakfast and that is perhaps why I can't remember specifically what my breakfast partners had. I had their homemade hash with two eggs and it was WONDERFUL! I would highly recommend it. Voted best breakfast at our table. Fun funky atmosphere. This is not your mother's 'Dennys'.

Funky, fun, filling luckily they offer half portions on many items. Excellent scratch cooking love the corned beef hash, omelettes, French toast, biscuits & gravy all are solid choices. Don't miss the Moosetails and house bakery goods are very good. Service fast, friendly and fearless. Parking can be a challenge.

Really nice staff work there. The food was great too! Fresh orange juice 100/100!!!!!!!!!

Brody & Logan were outstanding servers! Prompt, cheerful, considerate... everything that was lost in customer service after quarantine. The food was 100% perfect too!! We highly recommend having breakfast when visiting Port Townsand. We'll be having lunch here later. Thank you, Blue Moose!!

Incredible breakfast, I had the hash, best I've ever had. Super friendly atmosphere and incredible staff. I'll be back

I love the fact they have healthy options. Got the veggie scramble with sweet potatoes which came with a delicious homemade biscuit.... Which I deserved because I ate my veggies. =)

This place is a hidden gem. The pancakes are amazing. Recently I had the florentine eggs benedict and it was really good. Service is slow, but they have a small kitchen and make that very clear on the menu. It's port townsend, take it easy, no one's in a rush here! Overall I love coming here.

Great food. Great portion sizes and good service. I definitely would come back. In industrial area but no problems parking. Kitschy place.

Had breakfast here before leaving town. They were hustling on a Monday but didn't skip a beat. I was sat within ten minutes and greeted instantly for a drink order. They carry local coffee and fresh squeezed oj and have my favorite hot sauces on the table. I ordered the Mexican omelette with chorizo and it was delicious. The service was great, the walls are fun to look at and the food is on point.

I think we must have come during a busy time (around 9:30am on a Thursday), so it took a little longer than normal to get coffee and then get our food as well (maybe 35-40 min). But when the food came it was delicious! My bagel sandwich was YUM and the blueberry pancakes were massive. One is enough for two people easily. Coffee was decent, and the staff were nice and kept bringing fresh coffee around regularly which was great. The place itself feels very old-timey, lots of decorations on the walls, old porcelain plates, etc. Overall, a good spot in a beautiful location!

The food is always good and consistent, very friendly, and Rhonda and staff are the best.

Really cute breakfast spot with incredibly delicious food! Busy, bustling and still great service! Worth the wait!

First motorbike ride of the year and i found this place from reviews i had read. I was not disappointed, Staff were so polite everyone and i mean everyone was working hard with a smile. Char ( charlotte) was my server and was great although everyone made sure i was taken care of. Fill your own coffee if you don't want to wait for server to serve you which is a great idea for a small slammed cafe. Food was very good might try the burrito next time. I am a raving fan and will be back

We stopped here for brunch on our way out of Port Townsend. It's located in a ship yard, which was unexpected when we rolled up. Parking may not be nearby but it's a big working yard so you can find parking, but it might be a bit of a walk. We were able to snag one of the picnic tables outside in front since we had our pup with us. We got French toast, a chorizo & avocado burrito and huevos rancheros. Everything came fairly quickly. The brioche bread for the French toast was soft and fluffy and thick. It was served with a healthy pat of butter, sprinkled with pecans and powdered sugar. A full order had 4 slices and I would say this should be more of a side order - cause I think I needed some something savory to go with it like eggs and bacon. Anyways I did get to try bites of the other dishes and they were both solid. Portion sizes were large too and we were able to take half the huevos and French toast, as leftovers. Service was really good and friendly. They do serve beer and something called a moosetail, which is like a fermented drink they make in house since they don't have a hard liquor license. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast.

On our visit to friends on marrow stone island we decided to trek into PT for breakfast it was a beautiful day the building is down by the boat yard parking was a challenge,when we arrived there was a wait ,and they nicely suggested we wait outside ..... due to limited space inside.... Our wait was not to long plus they give you a pager.... I had the heuvos rancheros which was good and a slug of red potato's which I found under seasoned and plain, my wife had a breakfast burrito which she thought was not to exciting , the service was very good !!!

Food - 4 Service - 3 Value - 3 We came here the other day and what we thought would end up being maybe a 30 minute meal to start our adventures turned into a 90 minute ordeal. The food itself was pretty good but probably something we could have gotten at a number of other places (I got the Salmon Omelet and my wife got their Croissant French Toast special) -- and it's quite possible the long wait for the food resulted in us not feeling like the it was as good as others have posted on Yelp. We ended up waiting almost an hour for our food -- with no visit from the waiter to keep us updated at all. We finally asked them what was going on and they apologized because they had a surprise health inspection and had to stop everything in the kitchen while that was happening. They did comp our drinks to compensate us for the inconvenience which is why the Service rating is a 3 rather than a 2 -- however, I felt they should have done a little more than that.

Two words for this place. Corn beef and gravy. It's in the middle of the shipyard so there is no view, but the friendly staff and the food smell make up for it. Huge menu for vegetarians and not. But the gravy! It's like clam chowder without clams. Sooo good.

Fabulous breakfast! Located in the shipyard with interesting things to see. The staff are friendly and our order was perfect. We loved the fresh veggies in the eggs and the cilantro sauce on the omelette.

Service wasnt fast but the food was GREAT! We are going back again! Definitely going back again

So good would drive over there and take a ferry just to eat there again, I was a bit put out when we drove up and had second thoughts but bc the reviews were so good we decided to give it a try! One of the best bfast places we have been! Yum. Do it!!! Wild and crazy good food!

The service TOP NOTCH, the Food Spectacular! Friendly environment! Worth the wait. Visiting from LA and found this Gem of a place! We will be back 100%.

We had a wonderful early lunchtime breakfast here recently and it was so nice! This is a very popular breakfast and lunch cafe, and we were lucky to get a table cleared right away only because so many people were at the Rhody Festival parade! Just excellent ingredients well prepared, with generous portions and good service! Breakfast choices of eggs, bacon, sausages, and breakfast potatoes, plus some creative pancake and french toast entrees. Such a great atmosphere too!

Wonderful food and great service! I had the "Mr. Sunshine", which was delightful! It is a cinnamon bun french toast, with a pecan honey butter, which was amazing! It comes with scrambled eggs, which were perfectly soft and creamy,, and crispy bacon! Highly recommend!

Awesome local eatery in the marina, well worth the wait. Great coffee, fresh food. They were short a cook the day we arrived, so service was slow. The ambiance is quirky! By the way, the second hand chandlery next door is worth a look-see.

Really good breakfasts and full size portions. The salmon scramble is darn good as is the veggie sausage.

Great place for breakfast! The place fills up quickly with limited indoor seating, so plan to sit outside in the morning shade. We arrived at 7:30 and got the last outdoor seats. Service was good considering how busy they were, the burritos were awesome, and the coffee just right for a local diner. We would definitely come back again.

We stopped in one morning on our tour of the Olympic Peninsula, and I had the most memorable meal of our trip. I had the "Ode to Ina" breakfast with the pecan sausage. I am not a vegetarian, so don't let that keep you from this meal. The flavors of this breakfast were so, so good that I keep thinking about it! Thank you for a fantastic dining experience to kick off our trip!

I stopped by this cafe after seeing it on Yelp. I was in the area shopping and needed to pick up lunch to take home for my husband and I. It's a 30 min drive and it was only 10:15am (too early for lunch menu). I ordered corn beef hash, to go. OMG it was so, so good. I've never had it before but I can't imagine anyone making it better. Nice chunky potatoes, tender flavorful corned beef and plenty of it! It was a hit with my husband. I can see why this place is so busy. It's worth the wait if there is a line.

The coffee was decent. Breakfast was good and the staff was amazing. Parking was difficult.
