Halfmoon Creative Salads is a soup and salad cafe with 2 locations. The first one is located in Clover Commons where Barnswallow Gifts was located. The cafe opened on Earth Day, April 22 2010. They specialize in gourmet salads and homemade soups and dressings. The name comes from Mezzaluna (Italian for Half moon), the shape of the circular utensil used for chopping lettuce and other vegetables.
Halfmoon opened a second location in January 2012 in Victor.

They also do catering.

2010-08-17 13:42:46   Went for the first time a few days ago and had the Greek Wrap. Was very fresh and very good (cucumber mint dressing was excellent)!

That said, @ $8 it was one of the cheaper options that included meat. You can add meat to the other salads/wraps for $1.50 (chicken) or $2.75 (steak or shrimp), but it starts to get kind of expensive for a wrap. The salads look large, and I will try one next time (although again, it starts to get pricey if you want to add meat and more than 4 toppings). I understand that freshly prepared food is a bit more expensive - you get what you pay for - but I can't really justify regularly spending $9-$12 on a salad for lunch when Wegman's is right down the road ($6 for a huge market fresh salad).

Again, it was very good & I'll go back, but just not as often as I would like to. —NoBS

But at $10+ for a half-salad and a drink, it's on the expensive side, and quickly gets out of reasonable lunch territory if you make additions. I'm glad to see they've been doing well enough to open a second location, and I'll certainly go back for the quality and tasty creations. —daverea
