Cafes near Falling Waters

“Excellent location, friendly staff and just an overall beautiful environment.“

“We live a few miles away and we've enjoyed several French restaurants in this building for almost two decades. The current owners have truly outdone all the prior owners. This is not the first time we've been here under current management, but last night was the best experience ever!My husband and I enjoyed (a split portion of) the soup of the day, chicken soup with lots of vegetables, followed by the Norwegian salmon. Every component was beautifully cooked - my husband's medium and my medium-rare were perfect with skin so crunchy my husband didn't even remove it; the asparagus was cooked al dente as it should be, the mashed potatoes were tasty, and the ravigote sauce provided the perfect acidic counterpoint. Last but not least, our espresso martinis were great - perfect choice of cinnamon variety and amount.Our server, Taylor, was personable and professional, and made sure that food and drinks were served promptly and as ordered.As someone with a gluten intolerance, I was grateful that Taylor gave me choices and placed the GF bread order early enough that it arrived together with the regular bread. For the first time ever in this restaurant, my husband and I were able to share the three different kinds of butters without my having to beg him to save some for me! (Note: he rarely eats butter.) The kitchen and the front (including the Maitre d' - sorry I didn't ask his name) did an outstanding job last night!Strongly recommended!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-intolerant friendly“

“Wow, I just wish I had taken a picture but I spent all my time enjoying the good conversation and excellent espresso. This is a gem of a place with delicious pastries (not too sweet) and quick and espresso drinks that can be catered to your specific interests. The shop owner is friendly and great at explaining the different drinks. If you just want to chill and drink good coffee this is the place but if you want to learn about coffee and have a great conversation this is also the place. Thanks ??“

“Ate here recently with my grandmother. They have a wide variety of kombuchas. Lots of wines and craft beers. We dinned in and loved everything we ordered especially the salads. The vegetables here are super fresh. Many fridges and freezer full of stuff to buy desserts and cheeses. Lots of vegan, keto, healthy options here.“

“Based upon their review photos of a chicken dish, I decided to give this place a try today. I had the stew chicken with rice & beans, cabbage, plantains and sauce. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. Not too spicy, but not too bland either. That meal could easily have fed 2 people. I have walked by this place 100 times thinking it was just a coffee shop. I wish they had pictures of their signature dishes up on the wall to entice more customers. I hope this restaurant thrives so I can eat here every time we visit the mall.“

“1Mar.2024 Been to Wmsprt many times and haven’t stopped in until today. Nice spot, wonderful atmosphere with great music. When coming into town turning right on Conococheague street Lotus Moon is on the right. The color and font on the sign blends in so be careful not to miss it.Lotus Moon ? serves soup, sides, and sandwiches. This small business writes the most sweet notes on your to go bags. These sandwiches are made well and not thrown together. I ordered two sandwiches..The Figgy Brie & The Dark Moon. They were layered up with a wonderful helping of meat, Brie, lettuce, and sauce. Both sandwiches were filling and superbly delicious.The customer service was so wonderful and welcoming. This type of service in a quaint town brings you back for more.“

“Very cozy set-up. They have everything you need. The cafe is delicious and a lovely bonus to have in-house. In all fairness, I don’t often work in spaces like this so perhaps this is the norm. I just wish people were a little more considerate of the public workspace. I understand chatting and meetings via telephone or your laptop but it felt like too social of an atmosphere as opposed to a working space. However, next time I should probably opt for a semi-private or private office space.“

“Food always bomb! Fried chicken nice crispy and well seasoned!! Paired with the delicious Mac and cheese w/ their signature bussing sauce! Could never go wrong!“

“We visited a few local restaurants during a visit to the area, and this was one of our favorites! The outdoor garden seating is lovely! The stream is a little loud, but, personally, I liked hearing the sound of nature while enjoying my meal. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very casual. A great place to enjoy a burger or wrap - which is what my husband and I both got. We also got the hummus appetizer, which had delicious warm pita bread with it! The hummus was a little saltier than my preference, but overall good! Similarly, the turkey wrap that I got was a little on the salty side, but still yummy. It had lots of fresh veggies in it, which was delicious. We had our 11 month old with us. They had a high chair for her, but it was a little tricky to use in the outdoor seating. The brick floor by our table was a little uneven, making the chair rock a bit when she moved (which our little one thought was fun, but Mama was a little nervous ?). Staff were kind and friendly to all of us. The individual any gender bathrooms were cute and well maintained. There was a diaper changing station in the larger bathroom. The one bathroom did have a messy toilet seat (the rest of the room was clean), but I told a staff member about it and they promptly took care of it. Overall, this is a great casual and relaxing lunch spot.Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs. The outdoor seating has brick ground that is slightly uneven in spots, so some tables are not the best for high chairs, but it worked for us. There is a diaper changing station in the bathroom. Staff were very friendly to our baby. Food was a little on the salty side, if you're watching that for little ones, but overall, there were some appropriate baby led weaning options, including the hummus appetizer, if that's what you're looking for.“
