The waffles here are absolutely delicious & the gravy is amazing. Service was quick and friendly. Street side parking only. No alcohol. The main reason why they're not getting 5 stars is because the coffee was horrible. We ordered a couple of shots of espresso & a caramel latte. The espresso did not taste like a typical espresso shot. It legit just tasted like lukewarm weak coffee. The latte tasted like straight milk. I ordered another shot of espresso afterwards to toss into my latte but it did not make a difference. I'm not sure if they're even using an actual espresso machine. Kinda a shame since they're advertising themselves as a cafe. I'd recommend if you're absolutely craving waffles. If you want a full brunch experience with food & lattes/macchiatos or alcohol I'd go elsewhere.

Cafe On Eight located in downtown Augusta, GA Food: Yelp Augusta... this cozy establishment is a diamond in the rough!!! They specialize in gourmet waffles and specialty drink including coffees. We ordered the COE Beef Waffle with a side of eggs and the COE Quesadilla Waffle with a side bacon. The chef really pulls this fusion off... the waffles are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.. the beef was perfectly seasoned. The COE quesadilla was filled with chicken, cheese, served with pico... Really delicious! This a must try dish. Service: Service was Outstanding!!!! You'll be given an option to order at the coffee counter or use the QR code on the tables to order and pay (simple enough). Ambiance: I love color scheme it gave off a coffee shop vide with a modern feel.

We visited Cafe on Eight with two adults and a child (about $20/person) and unfortunately left disappointed. The biggest issue was the wait -- 40 minutes for both our coffee and food. During that time, we noticed several other tables that arrived after us getting served before us, which was frustrating, especially with a 7-year-old in tow. When the food finally came, it didn't meet expectations. * The strawberry waffle did not look as anticipated. My 7-year-old summed it up best: "Well, it's better than Waffle House." * The low country waffle was bland and under-seasoned. * The sausage and gravy waffle was just okay. The only real standout was the cinnamon waffle with syrup, which was delicious -- honestly the best part of the meal. I'd only consider returning if I was specifically craving that one item. The atmosphere gives the vibe of a quick-service café, but the long wait times feel more like a fine-dining restaurant. To add to the disconnect, everything was served with disposable, plastic-wrapped utensils, and there weren't even salt and pepper shakers available for dine-in guests. It was Ironman weekend, so I can understand a crowd, but service and consistency should still be fair. With so many dining options nearby, I don't think the value or experience here justifies a return visit.

I recently visited Cafe on Eighth and loved the initial vibe--it's a small, cozy, Black family-owned spot with chill soft jazz playing in the background. Our server was incredibly sweet, and we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. Because every dish is made from scratch to ensure freshness, be prepared for a bit of a wait. We also had to make some adjustments to our initial order because a few items were unavailable, but we still ended up with a solid meal. My girlfriend had the turkey bacon, the COE cakes (which are delicious hash browns), and the classic sweet waffles. I went with the beef quesadilla and the classic lemonade, which comes with free refills. The quesadilla was a great choice and the hash browns were very tasty. The waffle had a great flavor and was nice and soft, though it was served a bit cold. One thing to keep in mind is the presentation; the food is served on plastic plates with plastic silverware. While we tried not to let that affect our judgment since we were there for the food, presentation does eventually matter. Also, the temperature inside was a little warmer than I'd like--it was about 58 degrees outside, but that coolness definitely didn't translate to the dining room. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it was noticeable. The most important thing to know before you go is that they only accept cash tips. It's a bit of a strange policy in this day and age since most people don't carry cash, especially when you're already using plasticware for the meal. They do have CashApp if you think to ask, but it's easy to forget if you aren't prepared. I really hope the staff is being taken care of if people forget their cash! Overall, the food was good, the service was great, and I didn't feel like my time was wasted. It's a nice local spot for a fresh, handmade breakfast

There is not much happening to recommend eighth street other than Cafe on Eighth, but this waffle place offers a bit of what Augusta's downtown needs more of: a distinctive local business. Their waffle options include sweet and savory; most of the savory options are not vegetarian but an avocado toast waffle looked appealing. On this visit, however, I went sweet and indulged on a peach cobbler waffle. It was steaming hot and the browning of the waffle itself versus the luscious texture of peaches made for an excellent flavor combination before even considering the cream and mint on the side. They only do plastic forks and knives, which is not ideal both because of the trash but also because they're not great at cutting waffles. I might use my own utensils if I came back, but I would like to try some more waffles.

I was looking for a breakfast place before heading out to the airport and found this gem in Yelp. The absolute best waffle I've ever had. The Peach Cobbler waffle will make your toes curl. It was absolutely delicious. Like Arnold used to say "I'll be back".

This restaurant has a unique and delicious waffle-centric menu. Whether made with waffle batter, biscuit dough, or grits, every dish features a waffle. We tried the Low Country Deluxe Waffle, a grit waffle topped with shrimp Creole and bacon, and the Southern Smile Deluxe Waffle, a biscuit waffle covered in sausage gravy and bacon. Both meals were delicious, and we enjoyed tasting each other's dishes. Located in the heart of downtown Augusta, the restaurant is charming. The staff was welcoming, and the service was excellent. We visit a couple of times a year, and this might just become our regular spot.

Interesting concept. Great waffle. Stopped in on a whim and it was all good. Friendly service, comfortable. Will try again!

It's been a long time since a restaurant in Augusta has wow-ed me. I cannot say enough good things about the savory waffles here!! I wish they were more busy here so this place can stay in business! Please don't let the location on the relatively quiet 8th street deter you from visiting. There should be ample parallel parking close to the restaurant as a result, so you shouldn't have to walk too far from your car, unlike most businesses right on Broad St. We ordered the Down Home, COE Quesadilla, Banana Nut, and Cinnamon Bun Waffles. We also ordered the Peanut Butter Waffle Cookie. We may have gone overboard with ordering... we're really big brunch people. We loved the Down Home and Quesadilla! They cooked the chicken and other toppings into the waffle, which is a super cool method that really integrates the flavors into the waffles. They tasted amazing!! I think the savory waffles are the stars of the show. The sweet waffles are somewhat standard and what I expected. The waffle cookie was more crumbly, thicker, and had a harder texture than the regular waffles, which might be someone's cup of tea, but not really mine. But for the savory waffles, I think this cafe has an innovative take on waffles that I have never seen before, which is so so refreshing. Ambiance is nice, but the music is a little too loud. That's ok though, because I thought it was a very cozy place to hang out. When I went, it was pretty close to closing time (around 2:30 on a Saturday), so my boyfriend and I had the entire place to ourselves, which was nice because we value our privacy. The seating within the restaurant can only seat up to 4 people per table, so this isn't the best place for large groups unless you're willing to move the chairs and tables around (and if the business owners are ok with it). Overall, this is a wonderful place that I will definitely visit again. You cannot beat the prices for the quality/uniqueness of the food, and you'd be helping a local business. My only regret is that I didn't come try it earlier!

We wanted to find a local place for breakfast. This was a unique cafe where all the food was cooked on a waffle iron. The food had great flavor, was hot and the service was friendly. We would recommend and go again when we're back in town.

The waffles are really good no matter which one. Banana is my favorite along with the salmon croquettes. The chef is always on point. My only concern is the wait. Adding more to the kitchen staff would make for a better experience.
