Join Batavia MainStreet and the City of Batavia in congratulating New Moon Vegan on their induction into governor JB Pritzker’s Illinois Made Program this November. The Illinois Office of Tourism selects a group of small businesses each year that exemplify the authentic experiences and innovative products that make Illinois an incredible destination for residents and visitors alike.

Located at 119 S. Batavia Avenue in Downtown Batavia, New Moon Vegan is a woman-owned, small batch vegan bakery and café with a curated retail space featuring goods from local makers. Every treat—from pastries to breads to savory items—is crafted with 100% plant-based ingredients, using seasonal and locally sourced products whenever possible.

New Moon Vegan is owned by married couple Jo Colagiacomi and Jay Weichun, who began their entrepreneurial journey at Batavia MainStreet’s Boardwalk Shops, a small-business incubator program where New Moon Vegan quickly became a community favorite.
