The Blue Moon Café is another place you just have to go to when you’re in Baltimore. This place offers a quirky diner-style atmosphere with big huge buttery food. They do offer several vegan, vegetarian, and “healthy” options (for those watching their waistline) so don’t be daunted by things like you’ll see in the video.

One thing you’ve got to try there is their Captain Crunch French Toast. Seriously. It’s SO GOOD. You wouldn’t think so, but man, those little cereal bits really do make it fantastic. I’m sure that cereal free French Toast would be delicious there as well, but why order that? You’re in Baltimore. Have fun. Order something weird.

When we sat down, we were greeted with menus and a cinnamon roll (which was roughly the size of my face and covered with creamy icing). After staring at the menu lustfully for several minutes, taking breaks only for giant gobs of cinnamon roll we decided on our orders. This visit, Brooke and I both had to order The Toast (the Captain Crunch variety, natch). Dave went with regular pancakes, as he was in a down-home pancakes kind of mood. With a side of sausage and bacon, we hungrily awaited our food.

First of all, their food looks like it should be in a magazine. The French Toast came out with a heaping mound of homemade whipped cream (which I, a whipped cream hater, immediately scraped off and fed to my husband, who loves the goop) and berries. Berries! I never see berries used as a garnish. What a delicious garnish. Everything was warm, soft, melt in your mouth good. The Toast had a bit of a crunch to it from the cereal bits and was gooey to a level of heaven. Dave’s pancakes tasted like they just came out of your grandma’s kitchen. If your Grandma was Paula Deen that is. Sometimes I just watch her show and pretend she’s my grandma. Not that I want to replace one of my grandmas, but I’d just like her to be an extra grandma. Who wouldn’t? I digress.

So, the verdict on the food here: 5 out 5 noms. I’m willing to bet if you just closed your eyes and pointed you’d order something amazingly good every time. Every time. Though, you may want to lay off refills of chocolate milk or orange juice. They run about $3-$4 per glass.

Blue Moon Café does have weird hours, so take note. All weeklong they open at 7 a.m. and close at 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights, they open at 7 p.m. and stay open alllll night.

Price Breakdown:
As long as you don't order several chocolate milk or orange juice refills, you can walk out of here under $15 per person.

Dave's 2 Cents:
This is by far my favorite place to eat breakfast food in Baltimore City. However if I were to list any negatives, during busy hours they do not answer phones, the line is a 2 hours wait & out the door into the street, and they only have seating for about 30 people at a time. EXPAND BLUE MOON! EXPAND!
