This is honestly one of my favorite places to go to. It is a bit of a drive from where I live but…read morethat 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!

I really wanted to love New Moon Vegan Bakery, but unfortunately, it left me feeling a little…read moreunderwhelmed. 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.

Corner Grind located in downtown Elburn is the best coffee shop in the Chicagoland area. When…read morewalking into the small rustic building you get met with an aroma of coffee beans and freshly baked goods. Your ears are soon filled with soft music, the sound of the espresso machine, and the small chatter among the other customers. Walking up to the counter you're greeted with a friendly welcoming smile from a Corner Grind employee. While taking your order there are two large chalkboards behind the counter to choose a drink, a breakfast item, or lunch items. Then you have two small chalkboards describing this week or month special, one to your left describing the new monthly specials for drinks. To your right a board filled with the exciting new lunch specials for the week which include two sandwiches or salads and a soup of the week. Once you've ordered your drink or food, can to chooses to sit outside at a table, in a relaxing wooden chair, inside at the countertop, or table.

To help your sandwich go down you take a sip of your hot cinnamony honey bunches of oat latte. Your soon then filled with an eternal warmth from the heat of the latte. Finishing up your experience at Corner Grind you're sent off with a kind farewell and a need to come back. Corner Grind is the best because they want your experience to be as memorable as it can be. One thing I would love to see Corner Grind do is to extend its week-day hours. High schoolers that attend Kaneland, get out of school at 2:50. By the time I get out of the school parking lot and arrive at Corner Grind their closed. As a high schooler, I would and as many others would go to Corner Grind after school to get a drink or sandwich and utilize the environment to study and debrief from the long day at school. Even if the extension of business hours were just for another hour Corner Grind would have a lot of business for that hour due to the loyal customer base. Even without this change Corner Grind is still the best coffee shop in the Chicago land area.

We were in the area and decided to check out this spot as it looked cool and some of the dessert concoctions looked awesome. The shop was nicely decorated, inviting, and had friendly staff. The staff was helpful in getting our tasty as it was our first time here. From their specialty soft-serve ice cream concoctions (eclectic looking sundaes), we ordered a Cloud 9 made with Lavender Honey soft-serve and a Uh Oh Oreo w/ vegan Coconut soft-serve (see my photos). The Cloud 9 came with a cotton candy top and it looked so Instagram perfect. It was delicious. I really liked the Lavender Honey soft-serve. The Oreo one was okay as the vegan Coconut soft-serve was icy and not quite my cup of tea. This shop is a cool, cute, and awesome sweet treats spot that should be on your list to check out if you enjoy desserts.

The air is filled with intoxicating aromas of chocolate, caramel, cotton candy, candy, sugary treats, and so much more. You can't help but to feel a rush of pure bliss and happiness! Everyone was friendly and unbelievably sweet just like the treats. The decorations are frilly, girly, and pink! So, it is definitely a fairly wonderland! From the rows of bulbs and lights. To the two big swings. They make it a point to make it feel fun and festive! The walls of flowers are my favorite part. It makes you feel as if you're in a garden. I also love the Hey Sugar sign that makes for the perfect picture! They also have a British telephone booth, a scooter bar cart, along with inspirational signs that add that fun good vibes! Every little detail is well thought over and it shows. They have a huge selection of unique flavor combinations that are creative and delicious! I will definitely be back every time I'm in town! Snickerdoodle cupcake This cupcake was crumbly, dense, and rich! I loved how it had a swirl of cinnamon goodness throughout the cupcake. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing. But, it added a demotion of flavor to the cupcake that made it stand appart from just a regular cupcake. The frosting was piled high! It was airy, sweet, and light! It tasted like cinnamon French toast but, in frosting format! Unbelievably good! They also put the cutest little snickerdoodle cookie on top. I loved it! It added that little bit of much needed texture and that cuteness that I'm a sucker for. I'm big about multiple textures and well thought out meals. This cupcake was just that! If you are craving something sweet and out of this world. Get this cupcake! Only if you're a huge cinnamon fan though. Strawberry lemonade sparkling I ordered a strawberry lemonade sparkling because it was a really hot day. It was definitely a wonderful suggestion! It was sweet, tangy, and zesty! And, it was unbelievably beautiful. I loved the elegant small dices of strawberries mixed in with the sparkling lemonade. The slice of lemon and the strawberry on the side tied the whole drink together. It was just beautiful! If you enjoy carbonated beverages. Then, you have to try this wonderful creation. I personally thought that it was a little on the sweet side. But, it was still really good! My friend enjoyed every last sip of this Summery surprise. And, I guarantee that every time we're in town that we'll get one.

The price is also very reasonable. I came around noon on Christmas Eve, and it was busy. There seems to be several pick-up donut orders.
