The Blue Moon Café here in Baltimore is well known and seems to be on the “to try list” of almost every visitor that comes our way. Tucked away in Fells Point, the fun and creativity of this restaurant fits perfectly with its surroundings.
The atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming with its eclectic décor of fireplace mantles decorated with artsy knick-knacks and collectibles, Day of the Dead-like skeletons through out, and the hodgepodge of tables and chairs. Not only is the décor upbeat and welcoming so is the Chef/Owner Sarah Simington and the staff.
The menu offers classic dishes or house specialties all in generous portions. You can always find fluffy French toast and pancakes, eggs and bacon or sausage- but don’t bypass the huevos rancheros with chorizo, eggs, fresh green salsa and cheddar and crisp corn tortillas. Want something even more unique then try one of the daily specials that is ever changing like the Captain Crunch French Toast or Cinnamon Roll French Toast. Oh wait, I forgot to mention the homemade cinnamon rolls the size of your head if not larger, homemade biscuits and jams! Those cinnamon rills will invade your dreams and haunt you for more!
A perfect starter to share would be the cinnamon rolls. Each person grab a fork and dig into the warm, soft, flavorful piece of heaven. Oh there is more with those cinnamon rolls- Cinnamon Roll French Toast! In the mood for something sweet with a crunch? Then try the famous Captain Crunch French Toast (as seen on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives). Three thick slice of French Toast encrusted in Captain Crunch served with fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
You have to know ahead of time and plan accordingly that you will be waiting a while for a table on a weekend- just don’t forget to put your name on the list. You can kill time by browsing the local shops, stop by somewhere for a mimosa but don't eat anything because of those generous portions. Also the kitchen maybe small and get behind time to time but in the end it will all be worth it!
Add it to your list of places to return over and over to- I know I will!
