I could not taste the flavor that I asked for and there was no recommendation or suggestion of remaking it. I felt like "get what you get and don't pitch a fit!" Instead of making it "right".

Every other coffee shop would have given me a black espresso with ice. I was given a frappe drink loaded with sugar and whipped cream. Not everyone can or wants coffees loaded with sugar. Also, your drip coffee tastes like it was from the gas station. We know you don't roast your beans locally, that's fine, but it's obvious the owners don't know anything about coffee. Here's a pic of my "iced espresso" that I threw away!

Arriving early just…read moreafter they open 8:00 am on Saturday (they open at 6:00 am Tuesday to Friday), we found parking right out front and different seating options inside. The coffee shop has sofas, two- and four-top tables and a large community seating table in the center. With low background music playing and lots of exposed brick, there's a very comforable vibe here. The barista took our orders and a few minutes later, called my name. A latte for Mrs. K. was the size of a swimming pool and my cortado looking very tiny next to it. The blueberry muffin had been warmed and was delicious. With speedy free wifi and power outlets at every table, it would be quite easy to spend the day here working on the laptop instead of exploring Augusta. What a lovely little coffee shop!

This spot is our favorite place for coffee and daytime bites in downtown Aiken. Roxi my medical…read moreservice dog from Roxi's Ranch loves it just as much as I do. If you're a frequent coffee drinker, their refill cup deal is unbeatable at only $1.25. The breakfast sandwich is genuinely one of the best around. The bread is always fresh, and everything is made to order with real care. The staff is wonderful friendly to both locals and folks visiting from out of town and the steady lines just prove how popular the place is. While you're there, take a moment to check out the local artwork and stickers. There are some surprisingly interesting pieces. It can get a little noisy when the blender kicks on, but the back section stays nice and quiet. If I really enjoy the cup of coffee I'm drinking, I'll pop next door and buy the beans. Always a nice bonus. If you see Roxi you are welcome to ask to pet her. You might even get a lick.

I ordered their seasonal drink, the purple oasis, and was surprised by how well the flavors worked together!

I highly recommend for your next study session or catch-up with friends!

Sitting along busy Central Avenue, it's actually pretty easy to pass right by if you aren't looking for it. From the outside, it looks like what it is -- an old Augusta bungalow that found a second life as a neighborhood coffeehouse. Walk inside, though, and something happens. Everything slows down. The rooms are small. The furniture doesn't necessarily match. The chairs look like thousands of people have already found their favorite position in them. There's a porch, little tables tucked into different spaces, and none of it feels staged or designed to manufacture some trendy "coffeehouse aesthetic." In fact, I noticed something while sitting here: I don't see electrical outlets conveniently positioned at every table. I don't see a sea of laptops. Instead, I hear locals talking about doctor appointments, seeing the grandkids this weekend, and how ridiculously hot Augusta has been. People are simply here. I came in expecting to grab a coffee and leave. I have places to go and things to do today. But I sat down. Then I started looking around. Then I realized I didn't really want to leave. At some point they had probably been calling my drink for several minutes and I hadn't even noticed. And then I ordered a second coffee. That might be the best review I can give Buona Caffe. The coffee itself is absolutely on point. The staff knows what they're serving, makes thoughtful recommendations and genuinely seems to care about getting it right. But what makes this place special is everything surrounding the cup. It almost feels like they don't completely realize what they have here -- or maybe they do and simply have no desire to make it anything more than what it already is. As this part of Augusta continues to grow, with new homes and businesses coming into the area, I hope places like Buona Caffe remain exactly as they are. Sometimes you need a place between where you've been and wherever you have to go next. Somewhere neutral where you can sit down, let a little time pass, decompress and breathe before heading back out onto Central Avenue. Buona Caffe is that place.

We came for a late brunch, not too busy at all, and got some coffees. The price is pretty similar to any coffee place nowadays, $5-8 for most items. The inside is very cozy though.

I quite liked the couch sitting area, though the tables were quite high relative to the low couches.

Yelp nudged us toward New Moon Cafe, and while the signage from the street is minimal enough that we almost walked past it, we eventually found our way inside and were glad we did. At 12:30 on a Saturday the timing worked in our favor. We stepped right up to the counter with no queue at all, placed our order, and settled in. By the time our food arrived about fifteen minutes later, the line had grown to the point where people were waiting nearly that long just to order, which gave the whole place that lively, slightly chaotic weekend energy without ever feeling rushed. Mrs. K chose the smoked salmon bagel, which came out panini pressed, a small twist on a classic that she enjoyed. I am still keeping things keto, so the chef's salad with blue cheese was exactly what I needed, a generous portion that felt balanced and satisfying without pushing me off track. They offer plenty of coffee drinks and smoothie combinations, but we kept things simple and were perfectly happy with our choices. There is outdoor seating if that is your preference, and the whole experience had that relaxed, local charm that makes Augusta lunches feel unhurried even when the dining room is filling up around you.

This place has an excellent menu with breakfast and lunch options and something to suit different needs. I was excited to know they had gluten free bread options. I ordered the honey crunch bagel (peanut butter, Granny Smith apples, honey and granola--no granola for me though) on gluten free. It comes as a gluten free roll. I was shocked by how something so simple was so delicious. I ordered a side of bacon--seemed to be more like the consistency of microwave bacon but I was just grateful to have a protein option outside of eggs. I also ordered a decaf iced caramel latte with coconut milk. Their regular caffeinated iced lattes are made with their cold brew. If you are someone without food allergies, their pastry case looked AMAZING. Highly recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch!

Businesses are raising their prices, and so it's also tough on the consumer. But these businesses are trying to make a profit enough to have quality ingredients and quality employees. Even if I may have to pay a bit more, I would rather support a home town business. It's a treat! So, just keep these things in mind when ordering anywhere. Every one is doing the best they can!
