Lovely little cafe, friendly staff, delicious food. My Dachshund Lola's favorite place in all of Aiken!

I have never eaten at a dirtier restaurant, and that was the front of the house. Water pitcher filthy, bathroom faucets are COVERED in mold, etc, etc.. Gumbo inedible. Chicken salad not much better. NEVER will I darken their door again! read more

Ordered a Nitro Cold Brew coffee. It was completely flat - not a scintilla of head or bubbles. I questioned the barista, and was told that the order was correct. Luckily the cold brew tasted good, but the barista was fairly rude and unpleasant about the whole ordeal. It pretty much pissed me off. I won't be back. read more

These past couple of years have found me in Aiken more and more. Some of it due to field placement. Some due to the new businesses popping up. But there is a mainstay I always visit when driving down Laurens Street. As I've stated in my previous review, yes it's almost a mirror menu of the Augusta location. So makes this one different? I still stand by the aroma factor. They roast their beans (you did know that right?) just a couple of doors down from the Cafe and oh is it heavenly. And just as every community has their own vibe/feel, so do the businesses that reside there. The outdoor seating here is right on the sidewalk (with more tucked in close to the building). The art is local of course and food and coffee are top notch. If you prefer vegan, vegetarian, or sugar (e.g. The Fairy Toast) this is the place for you. read more

Cozy with outside and two inside sitting areas. Art on the walls. We ordered our food and hot chocolate, which was brought to us. Our coffee was self-serve with free refills. It was not noisy, and almost two hours of talk went by quickly. There were three types of self-service coffee to choose from. One was caffeine free. All of the food was hot and only took about 15 minutes to be served. Almost all of the seats were in use, and there was a line at the order counter. Nice casual breakfast/coffee shop. read more

This New Moon location looks like a "hole in the wall" place where you'd find a secret locals lunch spot packed with flavour and deals, but unfortunately that's not the case. Their menu holds promise with all the sandwiches and breakfast items looking delicious, but so far everything I've tried has been incredibly average and generally lacking in flavour. Sandwiches come with a side of chips, which at a health- conscious place like this that puts so much emphasis on freshly made food (they even roast their own coffee) you'd expect them to make their own, but it's just a bag of lays potato chips. I can appreciate why this place is popular; they have vegan and vegetarian options (unlike most of downtown), but I'm not convinced that alone makes their food worth it. The restaurant itself has a very eclectic feel, and i do love the outdoor seating. read more

Food is very good and the staff will help you pick something good. Great place to hang around for the day

Awesome cafe to include keto breakfast options for low carb high fat (LCHF). Currently, I'm not seeing the low carb menu; however, it was available previously. Get in to my belly. Basically, you sub out the grits on any of the breakfast bowl scrambles. Deeelish. ** Augusta Downtown Mess -- Keto. Swap grits for scrambled eggs. Avocado. Bacon. Pimento cheese. Hot sauce. Salsa. Yummmmmm!!!! ** Coffee. Bulletproof. Black drip coffee and butter. Yes. Butter. Yummmmm. Ketogenic diet. Espresso shots are good too. Support this small business. Sister coffee shop is in Augusta. I hope the above keto menu is still in full force and effect. Haha. Go next door and get some coffee beans. See them roasting the coffee beans and get a bag. read more

New Moon Cafe - Store front - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Unfortunately bad experience. My child was in the stroller and was a little fussy and when my friend came in to stroll him to find a spot, one of the staff openly mocked my child and I guess didn't think I was looking. Was rudely asked to move the stroller from in front of the the cooler, which the table was right in front of and there was a chair originally in front of it before I moved it to the side, and which I was trying to make space but the seating was really limited and it could've been said a lot nicer. Felt very singled out and should've just left that is on me, but my baby needed to eat and I was meeting with a friend. Definitely not family friendly. I typically don't leave bad reviews and try to give the benefit of the doubt but I have never had someone treat me and my baby so poorly. And guess what babies fuss at times. It happens and if you hate kids you probably shouldn't work in customer service read more

The food was very good. The people were nice when I ordered. I sat outside on a nice Jan day. It was warm, sunny, and pretty. read more

Rude, weird waiters and yelled at us for moving a table. Food just ok.Won't be back. It's one thing to be busy but you don't have to be rude

Great coffee, fun savory breakfast. I even tried their cranberry muffin, they really underrated how to make naturally tasting treats without overpowering it with sugar. Lovely ambience, love they have displayed local artists. Nice team of people, super helpful and kind to each other. Town has very poor mobile coverage so I took my time to eat my breakfast and listen to them working together read more

Went back to New Moon today and had a large decaf tea with honey and cinnamon! So, so good! Picked up a quart of chicken salad (delicious) to go with soft crusty croissants warm out of the oven! Ordered the California Love for my husband. It's homemade spinach dip on top of golden Turkey inside a warm pita with marinated veggies! Looks hearty and delicious! The staff is friendly with lots of positive vibes and played funky fun music while I was there. Will keep coming back! read more

New Moon Cafe - Colbert D.F.A YUMMY - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Good place for soup and a sandwich on your work lunch break. Sit outside when possible.

Visiting from another state. I was looking forward to this meal as every place my son and daughter had recommended was batting 100% satisfying and tasty. I Ordered the Money Mike the bagel was soggy, egg cold , the foil wrap of the sandwich looked as if it was not a freshly made. I also ordered the blueberry ginger tonic. Not what I expected; it's should be described as a sweet tonic water with a sprinkle of blueberries. If ginger ale soda or Fever-Tree was used the slightest hint of ginger was undetectable but certainly not an ounce of real ginger was noted. I give New Moon one star only because my son and daughter's food was still hot and looked fresh. To those preparing the to-go food. Do better and Have some integrity! read more

Been here probably 12 times in the past year, great place to bring friends especially after a long day at the theatre. It's a great place to go and the food is amazing not to mention the iced coffee! The general feeling of being in there is like the perfect coffee cafe spot. Love all of the artwork in the back SO much :). Overall amazing place, and don't hesitate to go on in! read more

Home grown and local is how this place feels. A definite local favorite, I met a coworker for lunch and it was really good. She got the chicken salad (which I had picked in my head what I wanted and when we got there, the breakfast bowl with ham egg and cheese bowl really got me in the FEELS... it was cheesy and keto perfection. Local Coffee, why shucks their beanery is 3 doors down... it don't get more local than that boys and girls... For where the locals go, come check out New Moon!! read more

The food here is good. There's a nice variety with quite a few smoothie options along with a variety of sandwiches and wraps. The service is prompt and they are always happy to help with suggestions of items on an off menu. Although it's small there's outdoor seating and seating in the back. And if you're looking for a good coffee drink this is the place they have a huge menu of coffee drinks and options available. Love the green smoothie! read more

First time. Read the menu outside and decided I wanted the Tomy Montana, their version of a Cuban. After ordering I was told they didn't have the pork or the ham and would I consider substituting TURKEY? I chose to order the Crab Bisque, a bowl portion. Served at my table in a to go container in a paper bag. I was told there would be a half loaf of bread served with it. There was two raw slices off the end of a tiny loaf, maybe equal to one slice of white bread. I tried to eat the bisque there at the table but it was so disgusting, thick, cold, you could tell they had attempted to warm it in a microwave, I chose to take it home. Had to add a cup of cream to make it a bisque again and realized there was no crap in it at all. DO NOT RECOMMEND. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

Food is great love the coffee selection! The grits are the best in town must try Aiken style.

Best stone ground grits I've ever had, get them with cheese and add texas pete. Also the breakfast scrambler bowl is KILLER!!!!

The coffee and the pastries are perfect! Service is excellent too! Love supporting local small businesses.

The food, drinks and service were top notch but the patio is dirty with aged debris (old straw wrappers and food spills) attracting flies and multiple broken umbrellas that detracted from the experience! read more

Fresh bakery with great bagels. Try their French Toast bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. Part of Aiken's local flavor.

New Moon Cafe - Avocado Toast, Cinnamon Roll, Nutella Donut, Iced Tea and Iced Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

I've checked in here over 20 times and I've never reviewed it? That's terrible. Anyways its a great little hole in the wall coffehouse/smoothie palace/breakfast den/lunch spot in Downtown Aiken. The employees are generally nice and accommodating of requests. It's best to call in orders around lunch time because it gets really busy. I love to get their Green Monster smoothie. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but when I'm in the mood I get the kickersnoodle coffee. It's freaking amazing! They always have lunch specials depending on the variety of goods they have available for the day. I keep coming back here day after day and I have never been disappointed in the food, smoothies, or the service. I just wish they stayed open later and had a sofa that I can hang out on all day. read more

New Moon has great, strong coffee and is locally (CSRA) owned. Its closest competitor is Starbucks for coffee drinks, but it far exceeds Starbucks when it comes to sandwiches, bagels and breakfast choice. Their service is pleasant, but slow. Yet it remains popular, as there is no competition in the coffee business downtown. read more

Food was wonderful ! Latte was great! Staff was very friendly! I love the vibe! Will be back :)
