New Moon Cafe

My favorite downtown eatery! Staff is friendly and welcoming. I've never had a bad meal or drink here. I love the creativity in the menu, they have basics but always have more unique stuff that makes me excited to try. (Also the baked goods- Those handmade pop tarts??? Are you kidding me???) Everything is made fresh when you order it so don't expect your food to be ready in 30 seconds. It is worth the 5-8 minute wait for a to-go order, I PROMISE. Their outside eating area is one of my favorites in Augusta. I love the personality and attention to local causes and resources that have been put into this place. Go support them for real, because New Moon is the pinnacle of what a downtown Augusta business should strive for!

Lunch in downtown Augusta can go in a lot of directions, but today we wanted something inexpensive, local in spirit, and fresh enough to feel like a small reset in the middle of the day. Google nudged us toward New Moon Cafe, and while the signage from the street is minimal enough that we almost walked past it, we eventually found our way inside and were glad we did. At 12:30 on a Saturday the timing worked in our favor. We stepped right up to the counter with no queue at all, placed our order, and settled in. By the time our food arrived about fifteen minutes later, the line had grown to the point where people were waiting nearly that long just to order, which gave the whole place that lively, slightly chaotic weekend energy without ever feeling rushed. Mrs. K chose the smoked salmon bagel, which came out panini pressed, a small twist on a classic that she enjoyed. I am still keeping things keto, so the chef's salad with blue cheese was exactly what I needed, a generous portion that felt balanced and satisfying without pushing me off track. They offer plenty of coffee drinks and smoothie combinations, but we kept things simple and were perfectly happy with our choices. There is outdoor seating if that is your preference, and the whole experience had that relaxed, local charm that makes Augusta lunches feel unhurried even when the dining room is filling up around you.

Lovely cafe for a warm coffee and breakfast sandwich. Fun vibes with a cute loft to hang out in. I enjoyed every bite and the served was lovely! The coffee is locally roasted and they make their own pastries. Much better prices than the local hotel breakfast!

The food was fabulous and reasonably priced. Despite the line to order from time we got in it till being served was less than 10 minutes. The staff keeps it pretty clean. Loved the outdoor seating. Loved they had an option for water not pushing the more expensive water in a bottle.

Recently visited Augusta on a business trip and New Moon was recommended as a breakfast spot within walking distance of where I was staying. The atmosphere was calm but a little to the left of my liking. Service was nice but very slow and they weren’t busy so no sense of urgency. The food was decent and amount given for price fair but overall nothing spectacular. I would be willing to give the place one more shot as my kid loved their homemade blueberry pop tart and the coffee was great but perhaps next time I’ll be more discerning about what I order.
