The Mountain State is filled with astoundingly hidden places that only the locals know about. Whether you’re seeking a delectable meal in an eclectic or fine dining restaurant or want to spend some time out of doors making new memories in the spoils of nature, West Virginia has it all. One place, in particular, doles out both: an astoundingly gorgeous restaurant with a garden patio the likes of which you won’t see anywhere else.
But you’d never know it from the outside. Blue Moon Cafe in Shepherdstown is a deliciously hidden secret you’ll probably want to keep all to yourself — but won’t.

Outside of the winter months, ask for a garden table. The lush garden seems to go on forever and has “rooms” separated by fountains, multiple tiers, and even its own stream.

On a sunny day, there are plenty of trees to provide just the right amount of shade. And on a cloudy day, there are just enough trees to make you forget it’s even cloudy.

The food is befitting of such an eclectic setting. The extensive menu features a variety of salads, sandwiches, quesadillas, and more.

If it happens to be raining or snowing when you arrive, the inside of Blue Moon is just as pleasing to the eye. High ceilings and many windows create an airy and spirited atmosphere, perfect for any lunch or dinner.
