Blue Moon Bagel Cafe

Blue Moon in a strip mall off Main Street, Medfield MA.

In Medfield, Massachusetts (about 25 miles Southeast of Boston center) you’ll find the Blue Moon Bagel Café, a great little family-run bakery & sandwich deli. The store is located in a shopping plaza off Main Street, next door to a Shaw’s Supermarket.

While the exterior blends in with the rest of the strip mall’s façade and is distinguishable only by the billboard sign facing the parking lot, the café’s interior is invitingly decorated in warm tones and wood finishing.

The owners have over 35 years of bakery experience and it shows in the selection of their ingredients (organic flour, no preservatives or additives) and in the quality of their product.

In addition to its wide range of artisan breads (Challah, Ciabatta, Sourdough, Foccacia) they serve a good selection of Soups, Salads and Sandwiches in both regular and vegetarian varieties.

I would particularly like to recommend the Cubano Panini (Roast Pork, Ham, Pickles and Gruyere) and the Corn Beef Reuben (Beef, Sauerkraut and Swiss on either Rye or Pumpernickel bread).

The Blue Moon Bagel Café is a good place to stop for breakfast when heading from Boston to points West and South, such as the Southwick’s Zoo near Mendon.
