Reviews for Moon Rise Cafe in Lakewood, WA
MAN! This place is B. U. S. Y! I went on a Thursday after 10:00 AM. Good thing I sat at the counter. No tables available! ... And with good reason. The breakfast offered at this place is fantastic! Pancakes are lightly fried, and as wide as hubcaps. The eggs are cooked well, no matter what you order, and the small tweaks on the classics offered make this place the breakfastnook of the region, hands down. The service is well done, considering the high traffic. I am amazed these folks have time tospeak in complete sentences, let alone take orders. The only drawback: some of the customers are as rude as can be. One thatsat a few seats from me was rude to staff the moment they were outside heading into the place, and then proceeded to have abusiness call in front of everyone concerning a deal "gone wrong." That's the rub with great places to eat; you're usuallystuck next to some jerk who wants to ruin the experience. Despite their efforts, they couldn't. Forget IHOP, go here! Read more
I ordered the Rise Breakfast Sandwich. The English muffin was packed full with fried egg, cheddar cheese, spinach, and tomato.... It had too much mayo, but loved it anyway. The waffle was tasty and crisp, but it was not served hot. So, the butter didn'tmelt, but the maple syrup was warmed. Stephen ordered a basic breakfast that had two eggs, home fries that were perfectly made,sausage patty made in-house, and biscuit. Also, ordered a side of gravy that was made very tasty with bits of sausage. The oneproblem with biscuits is they are dry. In the south they are served moist and buttery. Maybe a personal preference but this oneneeded that butter! Read more
A cute cafe with awesome breakfast menu. It is in a suburb of Tacoma, in a strip mall. The coffee is great and they have so many... items in the menu. The portion is big, no way I can finish it all. The hash brown was crunchy and yummy. It?s a good cafe in anunexpected place. I will definitely return if I?m in the neighborhood. Read more
We had to wait a bit, but I?ll say it was definitely worth it. Breakfast was outstanding (with the exception of the coffee -... which was remarkably average, but the quality of the food made up for it). Read more
Amazing service! I visited this place twice now with 3 different dishes and I can say they are so worth it, you better come... early or wait a line for the amount of people that also want a seat!! Read more
Yummy friendly, mom&pop breakfast/ brunch place in Washington- never knew that biscuit can be so soft and fluffy until i came... here! Portions are super generous so comforting. Read more
The environment is nice and the waitresses there are super friendly. Our waitress was Mikalen, sorry if I misspelled your name,... she was sweet and put up with our extrovert chatty ways. The coffee is bold, love me a nice bold brew and only added a bit ofcream to lighten up the color. The waffle is airy and delicious with the strawberries and cream. For me, not for others, thebacon was to my liking. Love me a some done bacon! No joke. For the first time tried a blackberry mimosa, was definitely adifferent take from an orange juice version but was delicious! Sorry for my dad in trying to barter 2 shirts for $30 ???????? Read more
I don't know where to start. First of all, they're only accepting cash and forcing 90% of customers to leave. Second, the server... insults the customer for asking why cash. He joined in with a customer and gets in laughter saying, you can't read. As a smallbusiness owner, this behavior is not acceptable. I hope he is not the owner. If so, you should be ashamed. Watching this made menot enjoy my meal. The male server in blue flees. Read more
