    Awesome Everything Bagel
    Elaine F.

    This was my first visit to Blue Rooster Cafe (although I used to love its sister restaurant, Soul). I just stopped in to wait for a friend who was having a PT session up the way. The coffee was great and the everything bagel was soft & fresh, with a big slab of cream cheese. The young woman at the register was very friendly. I wish it was just down the block from my house so I could go more often, but I'll be back!

    Best shrimp and grits I've eaten in a restaurant. The coffee is brewed properly; coffee drinks are prepared carefully to order. The sammies are freshly made and satisfying. When going to the shore, I'll be getting off Route 50 and stopping in here for some sophisticated eats.

    We've lived in the area for a while and never got around to visiting this restaurant. I'm glad we finally did. The Blue Rooster Café is very cute, the staff were friendly, and the food was great. We stopped in for a late breakfast and chose the steak & eggs, shrimp & grits, and the Works on a croissant. Everyone loved their dish! The dining area is nice and cozy and you seat yourself after ordering at the counter. There were several items on the menu that sounded great so we'll definitely be back. We also plan to purchase their coffee beans as the coffee was fantastic. Overall, a very good experience and I know that this will now become a regular stop for us.

    One of our go to local spots! My son loves it! I often get breakfast to go and order it online and pick it up. The staff is great and it's a cute little restaurant! We have loved everything we have ever got. They also have always ice cream now which is amazing!

    1st time here - likely last time here too. The food was really good but the service and the large amount of flies that were very bothersome diminished the experience. The Cubano sandwich was very good. Very tasty and a large sandwich accompanied by Old Bay fries made for a very good lunch. Also tried the strawberry shortcake pancakes which tasted great! The service was absurd. The young man taking the order missed items as I ordered and then forgot to finalize them, leaving a missed item. Another employee came from the back to assist so maybe a new employee but pretty unbelievable considering there was no one else in line to order so should not have been overwhelmed. The flies. I noticed a couple of flies when I first walked in but it is a restaurant so not totally unusual. I washed hands in the bathroom and discovered I was surrounded by a large group of flies, even though there was a hanging, paper fly strip in the bathroom. Upon sitting down at a table, the flies attacked and didn't stop. Every bite of food was accompanied by numerous flies attempting to land on the food. There was no end to it. I would say there is an infestation. I would give the food 5 stars but the overall experience was a 3 due to the service and the flies.

    Passed by this little place and finally made it in. I'm glad. The food was tasty and the ambiance was quaint. We enjoyed a light lunch, just before closing. The staff didn't hurry and that resulted in two magnificent dishes. They also didn't rush us out! We only stayed a couple of minutes past closing.

    Do they use fresh blueberries or are they the equivalent of Denny's or IHOP in their pancakes?

    Hi Scott. Thanks for asking. We always use fresh blueberries in our pancakes. The local produce has been amazing this season.

There were a few students working on laptops and reading, so it felt like a good spot to hang out for a bit. I was a little disappointed they didn't have cold brew, which is usually my go-to. The service was quick and the barista recommended an americano since they didn't have a cold brew. But wanted to just try something new. Ended up getting the lavender latte instead, and it was actually really good.

It feels like a genuine escape from the usual crowded spots. The Highlights * The Standout: You absolutely must try the coconut cake. it was incredibly impressive. The cake itself was perfectly moist, but the real star was the layer of custard inside. It added the perfect texture without being overly sweet. * The Brews: We tried two of their specialty drinks: the Smoothie Criminal and the Morgan Wallen Spicy Latte.

You walk right up to the counter and situated just to the left are the dessert and pastry cases. It's so difficult to choose just a few things. I was living enviously through the people in line in front of me who spent $80+. I ordered a lemon and raspberry custard pastry, a peanut butter nutty cold brew, two cookies and a cheesecake brownie to go. My total was around $30 before tip. This place certainly isn't cheap, but the view and quality of the product is worth it. I throughly enjoyed sitting outside at a high top, enjoying the breeze and view, drinking my coffee. All of the seating is seat yourself and they have plenty of options both inside and outside. The patio had a ton of umbrellas to help shade you from the strong summer sun. I'll definitely stop back when I'm in the area.

I made a takeout order and got the crab cake omelette (w/ a biscuit) $18.29, legendary scone: Blueberry $3, single blueberry pancake $2.89, single maple bacon pancake $2.89, and single cinnamon roll pancake $2.89. - The crab cake omelet was my 2nd favorite as they surprisingly didn't skimp on the crab additions. The biscuit was just alright, but luckily it's best once combined with omlette to make a good sandwich. - The blueberry scone was probably my favorite, as it was pretty good. It was moist, fresh, and well done. - The trifecta of pancakes ranged from just okay to decent, and my ranking would go blueberry, maple bacon, and then cinnamon roll. For some odd reason, the texture of the cinnamon roll pancake was notably inferior to the other 2. Overall, my experience was quite a good one due to the scone and crab omelet delivering the most. -- #issa.cheatday

We were on the way to my friend's annual get together every year in late June at her family's eastern shore house near St. Michael's. Unfortunately, 2025 was the worst year for the trip for various reasons since I started going in 2016. My girlfriend drove us out there. I was done with my 1st week of chemo on that Friday. Of course traffic is horrible coming from Howard County (oncology office) on a Friday in the summer in the early afternoon. We got across the Bay Bridge, and I was monitoring traffic saying there was a major delay due to an accident just past Queenstown Outlet Mall. I suggested stopping to WiFi and get some coffee since we were both tired. Staff was friendly. Prices were pretty reasonable compared with most places in the DC-Baltimore area. I got some coffee drink, perhaps a dirty iced chai. Wow, this coffee shop beats almost any other in the BAWA area. I connected to their WiFi for maybe an hour to check my Fantasy baseball, emails, etc. But I was upset because I left my computer charger at the chemo chair. Traffic cleared up decently enough, and we left to go to Walmart in Easton to get a universal charger for my laptop. Unfortunately, my g/f car died in Easton, had to have towed to Annapolis, which was the start of what ended up being a bad weekend. Thankfully, my 3 rounds of chemo was a success. This annual trip in 2026 is almost guaranteed to be better. I'll need to revisit A Little Lovely Coffee House again, but this year's trip the timing will be too late.
