Take your friends with you and enjoy perfectly cooked salads. Don't miss the opportunity to drink good latte. This cafe is recommended for the well-trained staff. The prompt service is something these restaurateurs care about.

Food is quality, service is warm, welcoming, the ambience is impeccable and clean. Business runs like a well oiled machine. A restaurant I'll continue to support.

The service was very good, my waitress was nice and very pleasant to have. I wish I got her name because she deserves the recognition. The food was okay, my mother ordered the baby back ribs that were a bit dry. I orders a chicken caesar wrap which was good. All in all, the waitress made the experience great, and the food could be improved. 9/2/23

Since I can't give a 2 1/2 star rating, I will go with 2 (could have been better). Friends and I were visiting the local hospital and we asked for a recommendation on where to go for lunch. One of the nurses said The Moondance Cafe was their favorite place in town for French Toast. so we had an open mind and good feeling when going there. However, when I'm hungry, I'm looking for something more substantial than toast with syrup on it. The best way to describe my first impression of The Moondance Cafe was that it was the size of a small diner, but had way too much stuff crammed into it. The whole coffee and drink area seemed out of place and squeezed in haphazardly. The cakes in the cooler right as you walk in the door looked inviting and homemade, but the emphasis put on coffee and iced drinks reminded me of a wannabe Starbucks. The result was tacky, not inspiring. Nothing was fresh. All their syrups and flavorings in bottles or beans it seemed. Ho hum. The 3 of us all ordered regular coffee and thought there was absolutely nothing special about it. By comparison, there are several small Mom & Pop shops where we love their coffee and always get more than 1 cup each. Even if it was just "regular" coffee, Moondance should really care about their coffee reputation. Even truck stops know the importance of good coffee. We sat at a table and chairs. If you don't get there early enough, the booths are mostly taken by people who linger and read the paper sitting alone at a booth or just chatting with a friend. So annoying when you're squeezed for space. The tables are all crowded in the center of the room with waitresses walking a maze around you carrying food and empty plates. Or, you sit in blinding sun and or roast at the window. One of my companions ordered a breakfast with eggs as well as biscuits and gravy. Oh my. Hard, old biscuits and salty gravy. Also, one egg was runny, and the other was hard. Huh? How did that happen? He'll never order eggs in that restaurant, again. The cook could have seen the egg was hard. I ordered a burger, my usual safe choice at a first time restaurant location. With it, a side of onion rings. My burger was OK as I sat at the window with the sun burning my neck. The bun was not toasted, the tomato was very green, there was a single ring of onion on it. Then someone blasted the whole thing with mustard. Ewwww. The meat looked pre-formed and tasted frozen, though they say it's hand packed. Dry. No meat juices, and I am not one to eat rare meat. I had to wait for a waitress to ask for mayo as I scraped off a copious amount of mustard. Then I had to wait again for her to bring it. By that time, my friends were almost ready to leave and she was writing up the check. By then, my burger was cold. I wasn't hungry anymore, but I wasn't happy, either. My little lunch experiment had set me back $20 not including tax and tip. I didn't even get the cheese I asked for, which I paid extra to get. If I could go back in time, I would have ordered one of their salads, which seem to be about the best and freshest choice on the menu. Maybe with a big slice of cake. But the people I went with have shown no interest in going back. One of my companions said, "they spend so much time trying to figure out how to make malts and Italian and French sodas, cappuccino and latte's, hot chocolate and smoothies that nobody has time to learn to cook an egg." Meatloaf, Crab Omelettes, Burritos, Deep Fried Green Beans, BBQ Ribs, Hot Dogs, Cappuccino, Southwest Spring Rolls... their menu is all over the map. They should focus, and become consistent. I think what the restaurant needs is a professional cook/chef who can make the kind of bistro/ gourmet food the people of Fremont would like to have and the restaurant owner wants to serve. My impression is that they have people with marginal short order experience running the kitchen with the help of local home cooks... and one special person who really knows how to make cake.
