New Moon Cafe

Good variety of breakfast options including many healthy items. Love their oatmeal. Breakfast sandwich on a bagel is very nice. Wide selection of coffee. Indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Service can be slow. If possible, pre-order on Chow Now. Parking can be problematical on weekdays; try circling around the block. Nice used book store in the same building.

Update 3/6/21: still love this place, but their wait time is crazy now! 45 minutes for a coffee and avocado toast is a bit much.

Love this place! Female-owned and proud supporter of Augusta Pride. Food was great, and the service/staff were amazing! Highly recommend!!!

This place has a good selection of coffees, smoothies, and food. I wanted a lavender latte and they recommended to get a honey lavender latte which was so great. My friends got a very good order of avocado toast and a smoothie.
Very pleased with everything and if I lived here, I would come here all the time. (:

Their smoothies are delicious and their coffee drinks are fantastic. Highly recommend their outside eating are, as the shaded view is very good while eating. Service was prompt and quick with no real complaints. A solid cafe for Augusta

One of my favorite restaurants in downtown Augusta. New Moon is an open, airy cafe with plenty of seating both outdoors and indoors. Their smoothies and drinks are always fresh and tasty and they have a few solid vegetarian lunch options as well. The entrees themselves aren't necessarily anything amazing, but I come to New Moon for the kind people and beautiful, laid-back atmosphere. I love the patio in front right on Broad Street as well as its location right next to the book store!

The New Moon Cafe is my go-to spot for a wonderfully sophisticated and stylish cosmopolitan meal. I've literally never ordered something there I didn't love. The staff is absolutely wonderful and the art on display/for sale is so intriguing. Internet access is satisfactory, as are the noise levels. The indoor seating is always clean, and outlets are in good supply. Outdoor seating is also provided, and is fully shaded. The cafe has a wonderful Asheville or San Francisco style vibe to it while serving up deliciousness inspired but not constrained by old southern standbys.
My recommendation is the Grits Bowl, which comes loaded with cheese, avocado, bacon, and hot sauce; paired with a cup of fair trade coffee roasted locally in Aiken.

We ordered 2 of the salmon bagels and an order of grits. First the bagels were not prepared the way it was described, not only were there no capers, maybe sprinkled the last of the crumbs of dill but I also had more pickled onions than I did salmon; second it seemed the person taking the order seemed to have an issue serving my husband. The few customers before my husband were Caucasian and the order taker was very friendly but when my husband (African American) stepped up he was greeted rudely not to mention some of the looks from some of the customers. Not a comfortable environment, rude service and false advertisement on how the food is made. We will NOT return!!!!

100% am coming back. Asked the cashier what she recommended, and she indicated that the locals get the Augusta style grits. They were absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥, and came out really quickly.

One of my favorite places to grab coffee or any drinks for that matter. They have some really cool things to try and make everything super friendly and fast. I've never waited in line more than 15 minutes even during their busier times, and the drinks come out pretty fast too. I have only tired their drinks but I would bet the rest of the food is great too!

The food was great! The atmosphere really cozy! Loved the Haitian brew coffee! I usually need sugar and cream but just tasting it, I could see myself drinking it black. Bought some to go! Loved my dish, it was layers of grits, bacon, avocado! Amazing! My kids were able to play on a kiddie table using chalk which kept them entertained until food arrived.
