New Moon Cafe - Aiken

GREAT EATS. Oh my goodness, was it good.. we went sat for lunch and it couldn't have been better! You feel very at home in this local joint that roasts their own coffee beans, very cool we thought. My husband had the Summer Salmon Sammie which is he still talking about and I had the G-Love Pannini which was OUT OF THIS WORLD. We ended our meal with a Green Monster and a Real Fruit Smoothie with Chia seeds.... Both, we're delicious. Can't say enough good things New Moon, many thanks!

Response. Mo,<br/ First, I would like to thank you for your thoughts on your last visit to The New Moon in Aiken, SC. I appreciate the time you took to share and will carefully consider your points of view.<br/ <br/ Thanks for the thumbs up on the coffee. We pride ourselves in serving only the highest quality coffee, fresh roasted right next door. You will not find a fresher roast anywhere in Aiken – unless, of course, you are dining at one of our many wholesale client’s establishments.<br/ <br/ We prepare our menu items on-site daily where freshness is a priority. As a “Fresh on the Menu” restaurant with the Certified South Carolina Grown Program, we purchase in season, local product from several neighborhood vendors. These items include local produce, honey, meat and cheese. As the market for local product becomes more readily available, we carefully consider what we can bring in “farm fresh” to our customers, while still giving them a great value. If we fall short of our goal to bring the freshest product to your table, my staff and I will make every effort to correct the error. <br/ <br/ Getting great tasting, local, fresh, food out quickly to our busy customers is my ultimate goal. I never want to serve food that would disappoint me if I were the guest. This requires everyone to be on point and ready at all times. Sometimes, regardless of our preparation, we fall short and need to adjust. This can be very stressful. It is ultimately my job as the manager to get us back on track. I try to do this swiftly and with professionalism. If in my quest to deliver, I was not professional, I am truly sorry. I too need to adjust and remember my role as a leader. I appreciate the “head check” and will be more diligent moving forward. Again, as always, my objective is to make you happy. <br/ <br/ I am glad for the feedback and the opportunity to have a chance to speak to your concerns. I can be contact directly at the café should you wish to do so.<br/ <br/ Sincerely, <br/ Anita Padgett

Has gone downhill over the years. Bagels are often stale and probably not made fresh each day.

Marvelous!. New Moon Cafe is such a wonderful gem in aiken. It's quaint and everyone that works there is extremely friendly. THE COFFEE, THE COFFEE. That alone makes this place worth it, but in all honesty, being there makes me feel like I am in the living room of my grandparents. Some people, when venturing to a restaurant, don't want that kind of atmosphere. But if you do (with all the quirkiness, mistakes, time delays, patience) then this place is well worth a try! Keep up the great work new moon!

Love New Moon!. New Moon is perfect! Keep up the great work!
