Best Breakfast in the Upper Cape
Readers' poll wins the old homepage used to brag about
From the old award wall, a few more claims survive in the Internet Archive: Cape Cod Times Top 10 Food Edition 2017: voted top 4 breakfast on Cape Cod; TripAdvisor 5 Year Hall of Fame; TripAdvisor #2 of 134 Restaurants in Falmouth (the 2015 site's claim).
"...a leisurely carb fest at East Falmouth institution Moonakis Cafe."
"I was thankful to meet a simpatico stranger to share pancakes and conversation with at the Moonakis Cafe in Falmouth..."
"Moonakis' Cranberry Walnut Pancakes are the most delicious pancakes I've ever had the good fortune to devour."
"...Moonakis Cafe is a must if you're in Falmouth."
"...rave reviews from satisfied families and couples for their superb breakfast menu and fast service."
A man walks into Falmouth restaurant and never leaves.
In April 2023 the Cape Cod Times told the whole Moonakis story: the name, Karen Souza's twenty-five years, and the regular who made sure the cafe stayed exactly what it was. It is the best thing ever written about this place and we did not write a word of it.
