What a cute restaurant, small inside but room to sit and relax. Very casual but gourmet food! It's a waffle bar! We tried the sausage and gravy and the waffle is the biscuit! We tried the shrimp and grits and the waffle is made of grits. And we couldn't pass up the cinnamon bun waffle for desert with icing and a cinnamon syrup! Every one was fabulous! Must go for breakfast or brunch. read more

Cafe On Eighth - Waffle with strawberries and cream - Cafes Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

This is truly a case of the food being so good that I forgot to take pics. I got the low country and it was simply delicious. I'd never thought to put shrimp and grits with a waffle, but it's perfect. I also got the peach cobbler and COE Omelette for my brother. He loved it, and he was over the top about the backyard waffle. The food is great and I will be back soon especially because of the amazing customer service. I was green with a smile and the owner patiently answered my questions and work through me adding to my order. There is outdoor seating and cut high top booths for 2. This is a great jewel in downtown Augusta. read more

Cafe On Eighth - Cafes Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

"I was excited to try Cafe on Eighth based on the positive pictures and reviews. I really wanted to like this place. However, I was surprised to find out that you don't order at your table, which made the experience awkward. Given their dining area, it would be more efficient if they seated customers and used the register primarily for 'to-go' orders. We ended up waiting in line for at least 30 minutes, and even after ordering, some of our food was mistakenly given to another table. There seemed to be issues with the waitress's ability to read tickets, in all seriousness, we believe she had problems with her vision. She seemed to struggle reading the tickets, which delayed service further and led to our food being given to the table next to us. When I requested decaf coffee due to caffeine sensitivity, it took over 20 minutes before I had to ask a server to check on it, which appeared to annoy her. Eventually, I received my decaf coffee, but not before a mix-up with regular coffee. Despite waiting atleast 30 minutes to order and another 45 minutes for our food, the waffles were enjoyable, though not worth the extended wait. read more

The staff were friendly and helpful. There was quite a variety of waffles to choose from. They have a large room with plenty of seating and can accommodate a large group. Highly recommend! read more

SO happy that this place is open! It's a fantastic addition to the area and it's such a different concept to have! Savory and sweet waffles, omelets, and coffee! The chef and co chef were great when I went this morning. The food was hot and very fresh. There was so much flavor. I have nothing but good things to say. Once more people know about this place there won't be as much seating but I feel like that's a good problem to have. I highly recommend starting with the fried chicken and collards waffle and take it from there! I can't wait to try more on their menu! read more

I went downtown yesterday and on a whim deciding I wanted to have breakfast. I'm not a big waffle fan but the place looked cute from the outside. The inside did not disappoint, a cute coffee shop. I had an ice coffee and Down Home waffle. The waffle had collard green, fried chicken and bacon inside the waffle and they had a side of savory sauce and homemade syrup. The food was good. The service was very friendly and they ensured I enjoyed my meal. read more

I finally had a chance to try one of the newest downtown establishments and it didn't disappointment. They have a different array of waffles from the typical fare to the more exotic chicken and collard green waffle. I decided to order the bacon and cheese waffle omelet, or womelet for short. It was made to order and well-seasoned. It also came with a side of a very tasty aoli. I definitely would order it again. I also ordered a their signature smoothie. Who knew collards in a smoothie would be so tasty? Also the staff is very friendly and thorough with your order. Lastly, this is usually a breakfast to lunch spot but I happened to catch them on an evening when they opened from 3-8 pm. So, follow their social media for special hours. read more

Cafe On Eighth - Bacon egg and cheese omelet - Cafes Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Went for lunch. Got the Down Home (chicken & greens in the waffle) served with 2 sauces. One was like a creamy hot sauce and other a sweet syrup. Delicious with either sauce or combined. Nice crispy texture to waffle. We also got the Peach Cobbler. So yummy! The tropical smoothie and the sunrise on 8th. Parking can be interesting since there is construction on 8th but definitely worth the trip! read more

What a great surprise. This place lives up to its billing!! Unique breakfast waffles are as light and tasty as heaven. The staff are friendly and welcoming with easy suggestions to your taste. I had the Down Home with chicken and veggies inside. It was the perfect light breakfast. The interior is a mix of the old and new. Sawn wood floors and soft lighting with large store front windows make the place warm and inviting. However, the high point are the people. Great people. Great place. Highly recommended. Hmm I might have to grab a cinnamons bun waffle on the way out. read more

My sister and I had the pleasure of having brunch at Cafe on 8th in Augusta, Georgia. We both ordered shrimp and grits and shared an omelette. When our order arrived, I said there must be a mistake, we didn't order waffles--duh--this was a waffle cafe! The grits were cooked in the waffle iron, and so was the omelette! The shrimp and a "cajuny," creole, southern gravy were poured over the waffle for a savory indulgence that can only be described as hmmmm yummy! After my first bite, I wanted to jump up and do the good foot When the owner, Dallas Hooks, asked us if everything was ok, I wanted to give him and his Chef, Jerome Kenly, a big hug; instead we asked for their autograph and pictures. If you're ever in the Augusta downtown area, do go by Cafe on 8th! Your taste buds will appreciate this epicurean experience. Great, friendly service. Hip cafe ambiance. read more

A must try when down in Augusta! Food was delicious and service professional. Will definitely return.

What a unique concept! I have visited COE multiple times this week and I am never disappointed. The food here is so good. The cinnamon waffle with a salted caramel coffee is my ultimate go to! Can't wait to go back and try more yummy food. Special shout-out to COE wrap, The Down Home, and always, always, ALWAYS GET EXTRA COE SAUCE. It's *chefs kiss* a for sure you right on. read more

The food was good, like really good. The wait time for walk-ins was around 45 mins (it's better if you pre-reserve) but the food is worth it. I will say, as of 5/5/24 at least, the online menu is not the same as the one they give you. It has slightly different options and the prices are higher. But that was pretty much the only gripe I had with this place. The people are nice, it feels welcoming, and I'd definitely come here again! (I'll reserve ahead of time tho) read more

Loved the cinnamon waffle and my husband loved the banana nut waffle! The customer service is awesome and the food and smoothies are fresh. We will definitely be back! read more
