This is honestly one of my favorite places to go to. It is a bit of a drive from where I live but that never stops me from coming in when I can! First off, the bakery is so cute and offers a variety of unique vegan take home products, as well as stickers, artwork, books, and fun finds from local small businesses. I always have to look at the cool new gems they have at their shop and love to treat myself to one! (Or a few things) I also really really appreciate and love the people that work there. The owner is the absolute sweetest person ever and you can tell how much love, care, and hard work that goes into New Moon. She, and the people I've gotten to see while going there are so kind, patient, and welcoming. I never feel rushed to order, and sometimes I just want everything so it can be hard to choose! And now to the taste of the food, everything I've had there has been 10/10 or above. I stock up on the focaccia when I go. It's delicious, there are always new and different flavors, they are easy to freeze and heat up when ready if I buy multiple at a time. The desserts and baked goods are delicious. Trust me, whatever looks good to you, will be good!!! The apple fritter was one of my favorites and the gluten free salted pecan chocolate chip cookie is delightful! Keep in mind that everything is freshly made and small batch, so sometimes items will sell out quicker-which you can always come in earlier or call ahead if you are wanting something specific in the case. I've also ordered their Thanksgiving and holiday meals. I'm so grateful that they do this. Holiday season and baking and cooking is a busy time, so I appreciate them taking even more time to prepare the pre planned meals you can order ahead. Being vegan, I often struggle over holiday meals and since ordering a pre- made, nourishing meal from here, that's not the case. I've ordered the Thanksgiving one the last couple years and will continue to do so as long as it's offered! Thank you New Moon Vegan for everything you do and stand for. You have a customer for life! read more

New Moon Vegan Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

I really wanted to love New Moon Vegan Bakery, but unfortunately, it left me feeling a little underwhelmed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was definitely a plus. I tried the tomato and peach focaccia as well as a blueberry scone. Both were good, but neither was particularly memorable. I was expecting something a little more special or unique, especially for the price. Speaking of price, $24 for two slices of focaccia and a blueberry scone felt pretty steep. What made it harder to justify was that the baked goods were served on a very cheap paper plate, which didn't exactly add to the overall experience. I also found the dine-in area disappointing. It was quite dark, somewhat dingy, and could have been cleaner. For a bakery where you're encouraged to sit and enjoy your food, the atmosphere really could use some attention. Overall, the staff were nice and the food was good, but at these prices, I expected more from both the baked goods and the overall experience. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything that would have me rushing back. read more

Just like others, I want to love this place but they really have to figure out putting savory items in a different case than sweet items because your sweet items will take on the taste of the savory items if they are stored. they also have great focaccia if you get the right piece, the middle pieces are so undercooked that it's literally still dough raw dough unsafe to eat raw dough. Disgusting. read more

I'm obsessed with this place! I usually come every week, and their iced chai tea is SOOO delicious. Today, I decided to try the peach cobbler, and it did not disappoint! Their sprinkle and chocolate chip cookies are also so good. With not many vegan places in the area, this one is definitely a must-go! The people who work there are always friendly, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. I will say, though, that the pricing is definitely on the heftier side, but I still think it's worth stopping by for a treat! 4.5/5 (but very close to a 5!) read more

Found out about this all vegan bakery in Batavia. It has everything from breads to cupcakes. New Moon has premade items as well as making things for custom orders. Also there's an indoor dining area if wanting to get something to eat here. The prices aren't bad on most things. Came to get some breads and pies for a gathering. It's a bakery that only uses plant based products. There's no eggs, milk, or things like those. From what we have tasted, these things are hardly missed. Take home things, or you can enjoy some items on site. It's about $4 for a cupcake. Lots of icing. There's several flavors including chocolate and vanilla. It's about $5 to get a big piece of focaccia. The best one of these was the one made with giardiniera, which had a pretty hot spice. Best bakery around if looking for plant based. It's closed Sundays to Tuesdays. The entire selection is okay for vegans. read more

New Moon is legit not-to-miss for food & friendliness. The vibe is warm, welcoming, spacious enough for privacy at a table with friends, yet cozy. Delicious iced chai. Bad news ~ I'm spoiled forever now! While the price point for chai is similar to what you'll see at Starbucks, man, the quality here is unmatched. One sip and I felt transported to India, the spices are unbelievably good. I was like. what is happening, where am I?! I'll probably feel the need for a Chai from New Moon any time I'm within 20 miles of Batavia. I recommend the scones too - I had an apricot rosemary one. It has very nicely balanced notes of sweet apricot and rosemary, not too heavy on either. And like, really REALLY good crumb. You know that experience where you're like, yum, and wow that's different, and I want another bite of that? Yep, that's the stuff I'm talking about. I'm just visiting, for care of a family member. We came here to bring back goodies to spoil him. Wish I lived here. And y'all, if you do, stop in for a chai and a scone for me. You'll thank your lucky stars. And realize this is a go-to when you need your mid-week pick-me-up treat-yourself kind of day! read more

We've come in three different times. First trip was great-had a donut that was stored on top of a bakery case. Very fresh. Second trip-tried cupcakes and the frosting on top tasted stale. Our third trip was the worst- we got cookies. The rainbow sprinkle cookie was stored in the same case as savory items (pizza and focaccia), so the cookie tasted like pizza. The black and white cookie was stored in a different case but was hard and stale. I wish they would separate sweet items from savory in the cases. Also-they seem to keep things in the cases a day or two too long. read more

I drove 30 minutes with my non-vegan partner for this specific bakery, and we tried a variety of savory and sweet options. We ordered the po'boy, a slice of the artichoke focaccia, and a 16oz container of their chicken noodle soup to eat in the bakery. To take home, we picked out raspberry jam, pistachio rose, and lemon lavender cookies. Everything was absolutely delicious, and my partner even said they would choose these vegan options over other ones with meat/cheese/etc. The person who checked us out was super friendly, plated up what we were eating in and brought it to the table for us. We were the only customers there at that point in the day, but it still felt super cozy! Would definitely recommend, and looking forward to going again. read more

Ohhhhh my, ohhhhh my! Visited New Moon with my gal pal running buddy and the food and bakery items, delicious. My friend, Carol, says if we were to serve to non vegans they wouldn't know that they were not eating meat products. The chef/ creators truly put a lot of effort and love into presenting scrumptious, wholesome, filling, satisfying food. The bakery is just lovely, peaceful, historic feel. read more

Absolutely delicious and great pricing! Loved their chocolate sea salt pecan cookies, rose pistachio cookies and my husband loved the black and white cookies (soft and fluffy and cakey) read more

First time coming here, my wife really likes coming here when she's in the area and had an opportunity to take me here. This place is absolutely gorgeous and I can see why she loves coming here. The food here is great and plenty of fresh made bakery items made daily. Small, cozy environment. I ordered a vegan sandwich, I will say the one thing that I didn't like was that the bread was hard as a rock trying to eat. Bakery items were great especially the pumpkin cupcake. Clean restrooms, great merch. Prices are quite high too read more

Was pulled over in Batavia on a phone call and noticed I was next to this shop that had come up on social media a couple of times so decided to stop in. They have a nice variety of vegan pastries and baked goods to choose from which the staff member was more than happy to tell me all about. He mentioned that they also had soups and breakfast sandwiches. Although I had told myself that I wouldn't be grabbing anything as I had just finished lunch that quickly changed when my brain got hold of the sight and smell of the tray of focaccia. I grabbed an herb one and it was delicious. I'm not vegan but will definitely keep New Moon in mind the next time I'm in the mood for a pastry. read more

I have been driving an hour round trip each week to eat at NMW since it opened 2 years ago. Their food is so delicious. It's actually made it disappointing when we travel and try other vegan restaurants and donuts because I'm so disappointed they don't live up to New Moon Vegan standards and taste. read more

I preordered food for pick up for my vegan daughter on Christmas. Although not terribly crowded, the attendant filling to go orders was completely overwhelmed. I really can't say if she was incompetent or deliberately trying to ignore me. I'll try the food this Christmas but today's experience doesn't make me optimistic. I'd stick with Whole Foods, at least their customer service is good. read more

This place is good but their hours are not accurate! Evrytime I try to go ITS CLOSED when it should be open. This is frustrating as someone trying to support, it's very unprofessional. Some communication and consistency go a long way. read more

New Moon Vegan is such a treasured addition to downtown Batavia. The baked goods (both sweet and savory) are consistently top notch. I especially love the Staten breakfast sandwich. Such a unique and comforting way to start your day. And the focaccia is legendary. They always are concocting something new, too, so there are plenty of reasons to come back again and again. You can tell the owners and staff pour so much heart and soul into everything here. This is like no vegan bakery you've ever tasted before -- you won't miss the dairy at all. read more

Every single item tastes delicious. From "the Staten" with house made, thick cut bacon and -- did I detect a smidge of jalapeño in the cheeze? So delicious -- to the seasonal corn cookies and donuts, I love it all. My faves so far are chocolate cigars. I can't wait to try the soup! The menu can rotate because it's small batch, and it gives us an opportunity to taste so much all vegan food from this creative owner. I am always eyeing the zine and product area so be sure to check that out too. Everyone is extremely kind, and the space is just full of natural light. Local art on the walls gives it a coffee house vibe that I love. I am so happy to have a delicious vegan bakery in the western suburbs! read more

The tastiest vegan treats you'll ever have! It's so hard to find yeast-raised vegan donuts, and New Moon not only makes them but blows other donuts out of the water! Their staff is friendly and helpful, and the ambiance is quaint and inviting. They also have local gifts and creations for sale, and it really gives off the most quintessential small business and local cafe vibe that feels like home. read more

Dine in surrounded by an awesome fun and artsy vibe or take to go. A great addition to Batavia, even if you aren't vegan! read more

My first visit was on Fat Tuesday. Very friendly and helpful staff! The Paczkis were scrumptious!

Amazing flavor combinations and beyond friendly service. My mom was reluctant to try 'vegan' then loved every bite.

The owner was super nice and friendly, but probably more important, all 5 baked goods were beyond epically delicious! Try the s'mores cookie!! Seriously, as a Californian with many vegan bakery options, I wish I could have convinced the owner to move further west. Such a cute storefront with just as thoughtful pastries, please check it out and order 5+ items so you'll have dreams like me read more

This vegan bakery is such a dream! (And my nonvegan fam loved it too!) We got a breakfast sandwich and a bunch of baked goods. Everything was awesome! I love when I can find a vegan scone since they're a rarity, and the blueberry scone was excellent. Donuts and cookie were delicious! My favorite was the pumpkin cream cheese muffin. Still thinking about it weeks later! read more

I'm not vegan, but my friend had won a gift card to the bakery and invited me to use it with her. It's a small space, very clean, and modern. There are tables and chairs to enjoy your food in the shop. There were only 2 mushroom focaccia pieces left so we had to get them. It was absolutely delicious and a nice size portion, too! I loved their additional product offerings on the shelves from crochet signs to sauces and seasonings. The cashier told us that they are going to collaborate with JT's Tavern to make vegan burger for the taverns menu which is very cool. I'd go back again and try a tempting sweet treat! read more

Food and service was fantastic and the chai was sublime! Love the quaint cafe environment. Best of all it is close to where we live!

The baked goods are delicious and made with lots of love. Everything is a special treat.

Best bakery!! You would never guess these treats are vegan. My son has several food allergies and it's so hard to find yummy baked goods that he can eat. New Moon Vegan Bakery has opened the door for my son to be able to delight in such scrumptious creations!! read more
