To the business owner: Yelp isn't for food critics, it's for honest reviews, which I gave. Maybe I came on a bad day for the chef, but rather than politely asking for us to give you another try, you harass those who give negative reviews on your establishment which is horrible business practice. Spend half of your toxic energy on your restaurant and it would surely improve :). The service was great, but unfortunately the food did not meet expectations. As a restaurant known for its pancakes, I was very disappointed in the quality of them. I had really high hopes for them especially as they were a major pregnancy craving, but they were not fluffy nor very tasty. I've had much better pancakes at chain restaurants or even at home unfortunately. We also got the philly steak omelet and lobster eggs benedict, which were just ok. Additionally a $6.50 side of bacon came with just a couple limp, greasy pieces. The restaurant is a little tight too and it feels like everyone around you is right on top of you. I wish I was a fan as most everyone else seems to be, but I can't get there. With so many options in the area, we'll try something else next time. read more

I just had one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! Coffee was a smooth blend, steak and eggs was amazing and steak was tender, and the pancake? Well that was the star of the show! I tried lemon blueberry and plain. My favorite was the plain one! I waited 45 minutes for our table but it was definitely worth the wait. The staff was friendly and attentive and Amy our server was really friendly . The spot is small but it's a great vibe of friendly people. I strongly recommend this spot if you're ever in the area. read more

This place was outstanding. The staff were wondering and helpful. Very attentive. It was super busy. Seems to be a very popular place. I was visiting from out of town. Plenty of tables and seating. Clean. Although it was busy we got along service. All the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Definitely will come back next time in town. read more

About a 15min wait but well worth it. Nice breakfast this morning. Hash & eggs for me with Cajun sausage side. Asparagus bacon and Boursin cheese omelette for Sheryl. Both cleaned out plates! read more

Such a cute spot for breakfast in the Cape! We were visiting from out of town and needed a spot to grab a bite to eat before going back to Boston for our last day. I am a big breakfast food fan, so I'm not hard to please when it comes to waffles, pancakes, and all the traditional diner eats. The menu was extensive and they had a wide variety of daily specials that sounded great. If breakfast isn't your thing, they had plenty of lunch options. The staff were beyond friendly and got our larger group seated fairly quick. I didn't take any photos, but I had pancakes, eggs, and sausage - delicious! read more

Moonakis is always consistently very good. We waited about 15 minutes for our table at 11:15am on a Sunday. My friend and I enjoyed our food but definitely needed to season the eggs and potatoes. Pancakes are always so so good. Only real complaint would be the food came out before the water, but it really wasn't a big deal! Will definitely be back here later this summer! read more

Moonakis Cafe - Waffles Near Me - East Falmouth, Massachusetts

This place is worth the wait. It seems to be the "it" place for locals and visitors alike. On a Saturday morning at 830, there was a 30 minute wait when we arrived. The hostess took my name and number then I received a text when the table was ready. The menu is good with tons of specials which seem to be both daily and seasonal. We ordered the special #3 which we split between 2 children, a corned beef hash with eggs and toast. The hash was rather salty and the eggs slightly on the dry side but the hot sauce fixed all that. Then a Portuguese French toast. There was so much food that nobody could finish it. On the ambiance side of things. There are local photos on the walls and what seems to be sound reduction panels on the ceilings but it was still rather loud due to all the conversations in this full restaurant. I can't wait to come back read more

Last weekend I had the absolute best Breakfast ever at Moonakis Cafe. It was a Seafood Benedict plate, loaded with free Seafood. The sauce was outstanding, the side asparagus was cooked perfectly. It was a special and I WISH they would in added to the primary menur. I VERY highly recommend this Cafe. Simply the best read more

This is clearly a popular spot in town. It's a small cafe vibe and it's always packed, so plan ahead because there's always a wait (on weekends, at least; I have not been during the week.) The service is fantastic. The regular menu is robust enough (try the Portuguese French toast), but they regularly have a wide variety of specials to choose from as well. If you're an omelette person, there are plenty to choose from to fit every taste. I've enjoyed their Benedicts or their Salmon platter when I've gone. read more

Came here for breakfast and had a positive experience. We ordered a couple of things as a group: the açaí bowl special, eggs Benedict and a sampler dish of eggs/meat/pancakes. Everything was flavorful and cooked to our liking. Our server was super friendly and constantly checked in to see how things were going. It's a cute place and I had a very positive experience.

Great breakfast and super friendly staff. I love stopping here on a Saturday morning when we roll in to town.

Had brunch here last Sunday with some friends and my sister. There was a bit of a wait, about 20 mins or so, but that was expected from reading previous reviews. It's a very small space , but they are able to get a good amount of people inside. As far as the food, everything we had was good. Prices were reasonable, portions were large and the food came out quickly and hot. The staff were very nice, paid attention to detail and checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. My friend and I ordered the same omelette and we both asked for a different cheese than what it was made with on the menu, but when the omelette arrived, it was made with the original cheese. Neither of us complained and it really wasn't that big of a deal, we were hungry and ready to eat. The waitress noticed as she saw us eating and did ask if it was okay. We were basically both finished with our food so we assured her it was fine. I would go back and I would recommend. read more

UPDATE: Wow, what a nice response from a business owner!. Even after I left an honest review about our experience, the overly hot restaurant with broken AC, and food that gave me a massive stomach, the owner took it upon himself to attack me. Now I really regret visiting this place. Rather than say "I'm sorry your experience wasn't ideal, we strive to do the best we can and will make sure we are doing everything to make your dining experience enjoyable", this is what he comes up. Maybe I got sick because in addition to AC not working the place where they store their fish was also running hot. And even after this hideous response, I am leaving my original review at 3 stars, even though they clearly deserve much less. I feel bad for the hard working staff that do their best to make guests happy. ORIGINAL: I really wanted to love this place. We came here for a Tuesday morning breakfast and the place was packed. We only waited for about 10 mins for a seat. I ordered a smoked salmon eggs Benny and my husband had lemon poppyseed pancakes. He seemed to enjoy the pancakes and I did finish my portion of the eggs Benny. The waitress reassured me that she loves the dish and is very particular about what smoked fish she eats and that Moonakis uses good quality fish. I took her word and the taste was yummy. UNFORTUNATELY however, Within about 1-1.5 hrs, having only had their eggs Benedict and half a cup of coffee that day, my stomach completely turned upside down. I found myself in the bathroom for about an hour in pain and discomfort. Clearly either the fish or hollandaise sauce used was either not fresh or rancid. I NEVER get reactions to food like this and it ruined my afternoon. Very disappointing. On a completely separate note it was hot like an oven inside the diner. I was actively perspiring while waiting for the food and afterwards, at which point we just went up to the counter to pay just so we can leave and get fresh air outside. The waitress said the AC was on but not working well.... Who knows. I felt bad for her as well since she's the one running around serving tables. Maybe it was an off-day or maybe a number of people got sick, but the post breakfast experience was not a fun one for me as I got very sick. The waitress was friendly and polite throughout the service. I just wish it was more comfortable indoors with some AC and that I hadn't gotten food poisoning. read more

The best pancakes ever! Food is great and the menu is huge. Servers great. Open all year. Go early on the weekends. Highly recommend it. Only negative is that it is small and very noisy when full. read more

Wow is all I can say. Every time I attempt to stop in I am scared off by the crowds waiting outside, and I usually opt to not turn in the parking lot. We decided to be brave and stop in and we were told 20-25 minute wait. After 20 minutes we were offered two counter seats. We were almost immediately met by our server and we placed our order. Our food arrived with 10 minutes of sitting down. I had the sausage, apple, cheddar omelette. I did not know I needed apple in an omelette until I tried. One of the more unique and satisfying flavor profiles that I've had. The toast was a little over cooked, but other than that I have no complaints. From the time we sat down to the time walked out of the restaurant was a total of 23 minutes. The operational machine this place is just astounding. Highly recommend sticking out the wait for some high quality breakfast. read more

I ate here last year and I still daydream about those pancakes: BEST I EVER HAD!! Considering driving 3 hours on my birthday to taste them again. read more

Busy busy Sunday morning. But still only a short wait and staff was attentive and food was timely. Perfectly crisp bacon lovely fresh fruit. Perfect over hard egg. Flavorful home fries. Husbands western omelet was a bit heavy on the onion and lacking much ham and peppers. Seems like this place needs to expand to feed the need and it was packed. We sat at the counter. Parking was awkward also. Cozy. read more

This cafe has a small dining room so there is almost always a wait but it is worth it and you will be in & out before you know it. The staff is friendly and efficient and the menu sticks to the standards which they do very well. The cranberry pecan pancakes & waffles are delicious. The pancakes are quite large, fluffy with a crisp outside-perfection. The bacon is prepared perfectly crisp & the eggs scrambled exactly as requested. The chocolate chip pancakes were a hit as was the eggs Benedict. The #3 provided enough food for the 3 of us but as everyone had ordered their own, we had breakfast leftovers! read more

Breakfast was fast and delicious. Wait staff was friendly and fast. Great vacation breakfast

Good food. But the most expensive breakfast place in town. Try Crabapples- good food. More reasonable

Food delish Service awesome Ambiance very nice First time here I recommend this cafe highly read more

I have stopped here before and was very pleased with my breakfast. Then I had the crab cake benedict which was great! Poached eggs were nicely done. House made crab cakes were very good. Today I had the house made corned beef hash with a couple of poached eggs and raisin toast. The place was very busy. I guess that's why the poaching liquid for the eggs was way too hot because my poached eggs looked awful. The hash was only just OK. I've had much worse but not by much. The server we had was a nice young guy who was a pleasure. This time breakfast was a "swing and a miss". Will try again when we run out of places to go for breakfast. (The first photo was from several weeks ago and the other is today, Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.) read more

Food and service are exceptional! I meet colleagues once a month there, and it has always been consistently exceptional.

I love Moonakis Cafe. I have been eating here for years. I have not only never had a bad meal, every meal has been terrific. The service is always great. A wait person comes by with coffee right after you are seated. The restaurant is cozy and almost always busy. Recently there were incredible baked goods on the counter. My whole family loves Moonakis cafe. It is a neighborhood jewel. read more

This is an easy 5 ! Super cute place. Staff was fast and friendly and the food was amazing. My husband had the hash and it was a meal in itself. Loaded with meat! I get eggs Benedict wherever we go and theirs did not disappoint. read more

Hi Bob J. We did tell our server and he said the table next to ours must have got ours an we got there's... no offer to remake it!

Where do I start? The kitchen is completely unorganized! Omelettes were coming out, but other food was not so we saw many tables with only omelettes and the rest of the customers didn't have their food. Same with us. I had to wait no less than 10 mins for my corned beef hash and eggs. When I finally got it, my eggs were fried and looked horrible. I asked for soft scrambled and the corned beef hash was definitely pot roast. I'm from NC, so maybe that's why I couldn't recognize what I was served. They did replace the eggs and agreed they looked "disgusting" and refunded the meal, which was the right thing to do. I'd rather have a good meal with good service than my money back. I don't understand why this place is busy. It was horrible and chaotic! I don't mind waiting for a good meal, but there wasn't anything good about this place imo. Didn't take my usual food pics because I was so frustrated and disappointed it didn't even cross my mind. read more

Great food good service, definitely recommend. You will need to wait to get in, not sure if you can make a reservation. I did have to wait for my pancakes a good while after my family got my food because they were so busy ( packed) but it was worth the wait and they made up for it and were very polite and apologetic. I also definitely recommend the real maple syrup, delicious. read more

Always a pleasure coming here, never disappoints. Everything on the menu is top notch. Be patient and wait for a seat.

Some of the best pancakes we ever had! They had a special on for strawberry cheesecake pancakes and it was delicious. We also ordered the Veg Eggs Benny and it was pretty good. Only downside was the drinks. We ordered Orange Juice which came cold to our table but was warm within minutes. The iced coffee was too light and you couldn't taste the coffee, mainly ice and watered down coffee. Overall a good brunch spot, I would rec if you're in the Falmouth area. read more

Stopped here on our way into town for the week! We were in the mood for diner like grub after our drive and waking up early to get to town. Moonakis hit the spot. They do a first come first serve, so when you get there you add your name to the list and the hostess will hand you a buzzer. We did not have to wait long, in fact it felt nice to stand outside to wait after being in the car. However, I suggest if you're party is larger than 2 someone goes to put their name in a few minutes before the rest of the group shows. The wait seemed to be a decent amount for large parties. We only waited 15-20 for 2 people (early on Saturday morning 9am) I ordered the Maple Kielbasa Scramble and my boyfriend and I shared the June Special Lemon Poppy Seed Pancake. He ordered a Lobster Omelet that looked and tasted so good! He said it was delicious, I didn't even get more than one bite to taste before he gobbled it down. This was such a cute spot to stop! The food was delicious and and the wait wasn't terrible! It was fairly noisy inside so I'd keep that in mind if you are taking a large group. Might not be able to hear everyone! read more
