History

Established in 1998.

Harvest Moon Café began in 1998, as a small bread market in Cave Spring, GA. Not long after opening, owner Ginny Kibler decided if you are going to make bread, you might as well make sandwiches, and the rest is history. The restaurant spent three years in its Cave Spring home and became known for its excellent quality sandwiches and funky atmosphere. In January 1999, Ginny decided to answer the many cries for a Rome location and opened a second small sandwich shop on East Second Ave. Folks were so pleased to see it that the restaurant soon outgrew its Rome spot. Ginny and her husband Doc decided to take the big leap and renovate an historic 1895 building in downtown Rome (originally the Fahy Department store) which took over a year to complete. In 2001, the Harvest Moon Café opened at 234 Broad Street with a much larger seating capacity and two outdoor seating areas, serving both lunch AND dinner. Since then, the restaurant has done nothing but grow.
