About a 2-2.5: Blue Crab Coffee seemed to be a popular spot for a caffeine fix, so we stopped by while we were in the area. They do have a menu, offering an all-day fare. We ordered a latte with oat milk and an iced coffee, and both were just 'okay' - it could have been more strong, and the latte was asked to be 'extra hot', which came out room temperature. Staff could be a bit more friendlier; also, the drinks just take way too long to prepare, even with 3+ staff on shift. There's a good amount of seating, but the surfaces and the furniture needs to be wiped down. I recommend in avoiding using the restroom. A plus was their funny fruit figurines that they had for decor. +unfriendly staff +long wait time for drinks +unkept tables read more

Stunning and quaint cafe and food spot in St. Michaels. I love that it's near the free library and Saturday Farmer's Market for an easy treat after either activity. Very friendly and quick service. I got the chai latte which was very tasty, just too sweet. The interiors were very clean, with lots of space to do work, relax, or catch up. read more

Was looking for a quick coffee and breakfast on my way out of St. Michael's and found Blue Crab Coffee from a Google search. This place seems to be a fan favorite with locals and visitors! It was busy but not in a bad way. I ordered food to go but ended up sitting down to eat it because there was tons of seating available. Great spot for a family to have breakfast or a group of friends. Very accommodating for all ages! My breakfast wrap was incredible! And the coffee was amazing! If I visit st. Michael's again, I'll definitely be making a trip back there. read more

Stopped by during a weekend for some breakfast, and it was pretty crowded. We ended up getting drinks only instead because it would be over 30+ to wait for food, which we couldn't do with a cranky child. The coffee was okay, the chai latte was good. Service needs some attention. The folks at the counter were a bit rude (you have to wait a while for the food, take it or leave it attitude), like they did not want to be bothered. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt since it was busy, but I don't think service should be overlooked. read more

Adorable coffee shop in a quaint setting! It's just off the Main Street and also offers a nice food menu. We were there for a late breakfast and ordered the egg and cheese on an English muffin. Ultimately very simple but it was nicely done and very tasty--cheesy, fluffy eggs! I ordered a chai latte as well and added it pumpkin flavoring. It was delicious! A slightly less rich chai, but still with nice flavors! They have ample seating inside and service is quick and friendly! read more

Coffee is aiite ...but the Maryland Bagel is fire! Old Bay cream cheese, lox, capers, tomatoes, and onions all on a slightly toasted sesame bagel. There is something about this combination that truly is the chef's kiss. This was so good that we decided to grab another one the next day. Sadly they were all sold out at 12 pm so we left home sad and hankering for a next trip back. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Visiting this historic town and after walking through town stopped here for a bite to eat for lunch. I had one of the BEST BLT sandwiches I've ever enjoyed! The bread was perfect for this kind of sandwich...firm, chewy and big slices. The tomatoes tasted like they came right out of the garden and the generous amount of bacon was complimented by the lettuce and perfect amount of mayonnaise. Yum! If the rest of the food served here is anything like my sandwich it will be a winner for all who visit this treasure one block off Talbot St near Railroad! read more

Visiting Saint Michael's has been amazing until we went to this place. We ordered take out, intending to eat it on the way to an appointment. Food came out, we decided to eat at the table in the restaurant as we had about 10 minutes to spare. The worker came up to us to tell us next time we come that we should call ahead so we could use their dishes and not ruin the environment...what in the world? Who approaches their customers like that? I didn't ask them to use all plastic. I've seen plenty of bagels wrapped in paper and easy to eat on a morning walk. Not this place, it was full on cheap plastic. I didn't ask them to use that stuff for their take out option. So did they not want us to use their table? Do they wish they used paper instead of plastic? Or was the guy just in the mood to be rude? Anyway, no worries, there won't be a next time. Salmon bagel was not very good. My tip to him- his customers actually are who make the restaurant money. He's an overhead cost and easily replaceable: Management please take note- find better workers. People come in to eat to have a nice day and enjoy their family, not to be scolded. read more

With the caveat that this is $$$ prices for bagelwiches and small snacks, this is a great little spot that made us feel welcomed and relaxed. The Maryland bagel (salmon, crab, and Old Bay creamcheese) was interesting, and we complimented that with a NY bagel sandwich and some backed items. The layout inside looks intriguing for music -- the stage is at one end, and a small bar area/coffee counter, I can imagine this would be a beloved local coffee house scene off-season. The historic building is a nice plus for the experience. We had snappy and friendly service at the counter, albeit at the end of the business day (1:40 PM with a 2 PM closing time). There was plenty of outdoor seating available on a nice day, almost too nice; we stuck inside to avoid the direct sun on an unseasonably warm spring day. But if you're looking for a little mellow outdoor café experience, here's your place. read more

Great spot for breakfast and lunch on the Eastern Shore! For a coffee shop, they definitely have robust food options. The lavender coffee left more to be desired as it almost tasted soapy. However, the Maryland Bagel and Chorizo Tortilla were amazing! As a fan of Old Bay seasoning, I was excited to try their Maryland Bagel with Old Bay cream cheese and it paired extremely well with the salmon. If you love breakfast burritos, the Chorizo Tortilla definitely won't disappoint. If you are stopping in or passing by Saint Michaels, Blue Crab Coffee is a delicious breakfast option! read more

Quaint little coffee shop! Quiet and great place to read, do some work, catch up with a friend. One big benefit of eating here: you are truly supporting local. A local business, locally owned, and serving smoked salmon, kombucha, bagels, gluten free bakery items (and more), all from various St Michaels and close-by businesses! Good chai latte, and tasty bagel breakfast sandwich (bacon egg and cheese). Friendly and genuine service. Right next to the public library and near lots of shops and restaurants. The breakfast bagel came nicely toasted with delicious egg whites, 2 pieces of thinner bacon, and melted cheese. Perfect temperature. I do wish they cut it in half, but I'm nitpicking here ;) read more

Blue Crab's ice-cold air conditioning felt great as I ducked out of the August sauna; the hot latte just added another layer of juxtaposition. I tried a Maryland bagel (a local take on the lox/cream cheese classic), and I built my own omelet too. Both were good, though I would note that there can be a bit of a wait for food as there is only one short-order cook. I would come back for breakfast or for a midday drink (I was surprised to see the alcoholic offerings). read more

I am 100% a coffee snob. I love coffee, and I love Starbucks, so in small towns I am always in search of the closest match. And yes, Starbucks has the best coffee of all time and this is from someone who drinks 3-4 cups a day and is from the Washington, DC area so I've tried a lot of coffees. I do not like earthy, strong flavored coffees - my drink of choice is Starbucks blonde roast. So this coffee was excellent and just perfectly flavored... I believe I got the House blend. The decor is beautiful, the music is on point, and it is well heated. Highly recommend! read more

After spending the afternoon wandering through the shops in St. Michaels on my first-ever visit to…read moretown, I found myself craving one thing for dinner. A really good burger. Actually...a really good burger with crab dip on it. Naturally, I started searching for somewhere that could satisfy both cravings at once and landed on Carpenter Street Saloon, a laid-back local watering hole that's been serving up food, drinks and good times in the heart of St. Michaels for decades. Their menu had both burgers and crab dip, but not together. Challenge accepted! I arrived around 4:30pm on a Friday during Fourth of July weekend and somehow managed to snag the very last parking spot in their small lot. Even better, as I walked inside, a booth just inside the front door opened up. The adventure gods were clearly looking out for me! The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. Folks were gathered around the bar enjoying drinks, conversations filled the room and absolutely nobody cared that I had wandered in by myself for dinner. Sometimes that's exactly the kind of place you need after a long day of adventuring. I studied the menu for approximately three seconds before asking my waitress what I assumed would be a ridiculous question. "Could I get a burger...with crab dip on it?" Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, "Absolutely! We actually used to have that on the menu, but nobody ordered it." I couldn't stop grinning! "Well," I replied, "I'm somebody...and I want it for dinner tonight!" One more vacation victory! For $16.00, my custom Bay Burger arrived piled high with rich, creamy crab dip and melted cheese dripping over the thick burger patty exactly as I'd imagined it. It was everything I'd hoped it would be! Juicy burger. Creamy crab dip. Gooey cheese. The combination just...worked! In fact...it worked so well that I briefly considered ordering another one before remembering I still had dessert plans later that evening. (Responsible Adult Alexis eventually won that internal debate.) I chose the coleslaw as my side, and while the flavor was really good, it was a little drier than I personally prefer. That's entirely a preference thing, though. If you're someone who likes a less creamy coleslaw, this one will probably be right up your alley. My Diet Pepsi was $4.00, bringing my total to just $21.20 before tip. Honestly, for a custom burger loaded with crab dip in the middle of one of Maryland's busiest holiday weekends, I thought that was an excellent value. Carpenter Street Saloon isn't trying to be fancy. It's comfortable. It's welcoming. It's the kind of neighborhood bar where locals and visitors alike can settle in, enjoy a great meal and relax for a while. If you're visiting St. Michaels and find yourself craving a burger, do yourself a favor...ask them to bring back the crab dip burger. Apparently nobody orders it. Except me. And now hopefully you!

This ended up being my favorite stop of the day. The moment we walked into Carpenters Street Saloon…read morethere was a live band playing. They happened to be paused between songs, and I jokingly asked if they had any Toby Keith. The singer immediately started playing "Should've Been a Cowboy," which set the tone for the whole visit. We stayed for a couple of drinks and ended up spending a good part of the afternoon there. The atmosphere was fun and laid back, exactly what you'd want from a place with live music. At one point a woman passed out and an ambulance came, but there was a group of nurses nearby who said she was fine and had just had a little too much to drink. It honestly added to the wild, lively bar atmosphere. Drinks were very reasonably priced too -- we only spent about $37 for the afternoon. Great music, great vibe, and a fun crowd. I'd definitely go back.

He suggested we offer the crudite trays by the beverage service area that created a wonderful opportunity to greet guests as they arrived, mix and mingle before sitting for dinner and order a beverage. The table arrangements allowed for not only an intimate setting for dinner (pictured) and the perfect space for toasts and easy conversation. Most importantly, all the guests raved about the menu choices: Braised short ribs - incredible! Broiled Rockfish with Crab - Incredible! Roasted Duck Bread - incredible! And the vegetarian option was phenomenal as well. A heartfelt thank you Kevin and crew for creating a most wonderful evening! I will be back for sure the next time I'm in Easton.

We were driving through St. Michaels and decided to stop at Harrison's because of the beautiful…read morewaterfront view. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience. The view is definitely the best thing about this restaurant, but that's where the positives end. I ordered the seafood stew, and it was unbelievably oily--so much so that I couldn't finish it. The seafood soup tasted like something that came straight out of a can. Ironically, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was the cheapest item we ordered, yet it ended up being the best dish on the table. The service was also very disappointing. There were hardly any other customers around, yet our server was extremely slow and rarely checked on us. Even when we were clearly trying to get the check, we waited forever. Meanwhile, we could hear staff laughing and chatting in the kitchen, but no one seemed interested in helping customers. To make matters worse, there were flies everywhere throughout the restaurant, and no one appeared to be doing anything about it. It made the dining experience even less enjoyable. Overall, the waterfront setting is beautiful, but the food quality, service, and cleanliness issues outweighed the view. We won't be returning and would not recommend it based on our experience.

Inside is air conditioned and also dog friendly. Poop bags and small milkbones also available. The staff was super personable and friendly. Came in a Sunday evening and there was a crowd but not overly busy. We ordered an orange vanilla crush, per waiter reco, and it was amazingg. It tasted just like an orange creamsicle. Also tried the famous crab dip and it was SO good. Maybe it was all the butter but it was my favorite by far. I also tried their fish tacos which were citrusy and fresh. The views were amazing and you can watch the yachts pull up and boats go by.

Both meals were very good; we stayed over Fri/Sat and the menu changed daily (well kinda). The menu is on a TV screen near the coffee station. Sat was waffle day and Sun was pancake day; some of the same toppings on each day like peaches, apples, blueberry. They also had an egg/meat/hash brown/bread platter if you weren't into pancakes/waffles. Breakfast meat choices were sausage or bacon. Service was good and fast, with unlimited coffee and tea at separate stations.

Instead, fix it. Food was ok, say three stars but long wait between courses brought overall average to two stars and that matched service so there you go. Two fully earned stars.

The atmosphere was great and the drinks were excellent. They make a really good Bloody Mary, and overall the bar side of things was a highlight. For food, we split a sandwich, an appetizer, and a salad. The sandwich was very good, but the rest of the food was just okay. The Caesar salad didn't seem fully tossed, and the pretzel with crab felt like it may have been microwaved. It wasn't bad, just not on the same level as the drinks and atmosphere. Overall it was a nice stop and we enjoyed ourselves. We'd definitely go back for drinks and the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, we were so excited I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was really good. I got avocado toast which was decent and my husband got the smoked bbq pulled chicken sandwich.

The coffee menu was literally just a sign that said specialty drinks and then it looked like a bar more than a coffee shop. Despite that, we loved it and would happily stop here again. I also asked where the baked goods were from because they looked unique. They were sourced locally from a girl that worked at the restaurant across the street. Definitely stop on here for a local gem.
