Rooster Moon Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Hagerstown

WOW.... I can't completely express how disappointed I was after visiting this cool little coffee shop. Funky vibe, cool t-shirts, ample upscale seating....all GREAT~ But then we ordered... it all went wrong! The Large $7+ smoothie was served in a 10? oz cup and was mostly ice and chemicals but by far the worst thing was their deserts in the spinning display case. We got a piece of moist (looking) carrot cake and when we got back to the table to eat it, we noticed the bottom portion looked funny. We tried to cut into it but it broke the plastic utensils. I picked it up and it was rock hard on the bottom and even a different color to it from sitting for what had to be days and days. I took it back to the counter where the gentleman that served us said he would check with his wife about it. She came out a minute later and very nicely apologized for the stale cake and offered another desert. Not a big deal so I asked what fresh today, she said anything you pick. I next picked a piece of chocolate cake. She whispered to the young girl beside her and the next thing I know, she put the slice of cake in the microwave? Fresh cake in a microwave? But wanting to give them another chance I brought it back to our table. I can without a doubt say, it was DAYS OLD and the nastiest chocolate cake we ever tried. I ate 2 small bites and threw the rest away. I ended up getting sick within a hours of that and think they need a visit from the health...

Just when you thought this place couldn't get any worse .... I used to get breakfast here 4 times a week. Now I might go once a year and today I was the last time ever for me. They advertise breakfast sandwiches served on a jumbo sized English muffin or a jumbo sized bagel and then they want to put one tiny little piece of premade microwaved egg on it like they're doing you a favor. I also ordered a Matcha latte which I love from any other coffee shop, but they drink I was served today was literally the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. In addition it's way overpriced and they should be sued for false advertising because the prices on their website are apparently not correct. I guess it takes a whole lot of effort to put out correct pricing for your customers. NEVER EVER AGAIN. My order came to $12 and that was without a tip that they act like you owe them. Could've gotten better food at McDonald's. They clearly don't care about their customers at all and only care...

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a community based off of the coffee shop within it. This cannot be more evident than this place. If you are looking for a nice small coffee shop than look no more. While I am not usually fan of the 'hipster' coffee shop vibe, this place does is very nicely. I guess I'm just old school.

This place does offer a lot of named-based gimmicky drinks (which does require you to actually read the description to figure out what is actually in it), or to actually know the different between the different type of coffee/espresso based drinks. They offer the standard array of typical coffee shop snacks and foods, which I do really enjoy.

I personally love the 'Caramel Zebra' drink (told you they had gimmicky named-drinks) and a banana-nut muffin. If you live in the surrounding area and are looking for a quiet coffee shop with a comfortable atmosphere, then I recommend checking...
