We drove 80 miles one (160 miles round trip) from Leesburg VA to taste the treats of the Blue Moon Cafe on a damp day in country - and it delivered the best breakfast I have had in two years. \r
\r
The area of Fells Point (once I realized where we were going) is not a dump. The area around it is, but stay in Fell's Point and you will be fine.\r
\r
We were personally served by one of the owners and she did a great job once we got seated. I loved the full sleeves of ink she had and she was very friendly for running her butt off all morning. \r

The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with warm, home made biscuits (which I am generally not a fan of) but these made me a believer. They were fresh, soft and had a nice crispy top. They were served with fresh blue berry jam (home made too I might add). My wife and I shared a huevos rancheros to start, and it was INSANE. Lots of great heat from the salsa verde and the home style Chorizo!!! I have eaten huevos a million times at real Mexican restaurants, but none touch this place.\r
\r
We then split a short stack of their house special - Captain Crunch French Toast. Crispy outside, warm chewy inside, with flavors of cinnamon and sugar. It was everything that you could ever want for breakfast. \r
\r
We split both dishes and left satiated. \r

It was raining today, so if you make the trek, bring an umbrella and be prepared for long waits. When we checked in, we were told 45 minutes to wait. We waited close to 70 minutes and wound up sharing a table with a couple guys just so we could finally eat. It is hard to complain though. Great food, cool spot and good company. If I lived closer, I would be 100 lbs over weight. \r

Thanks for keeping fresh food affordable.\r
