I had high hopes for cafe dulce, and while the ambiance was 5/5 my experience with the coffee, frozen custard, and staff was more of a 1/5. Ambiance - this place is great, the downstairs has more of a bustling ice cream parlor feel while upstairs you have your choice of classic coffee shop with lounge and table seating or a bright modern balcony space. I went for the covered outdoor seating and the style and greenery made it felt like a tropical vacation despite the fact that the view was rush hour on Washington road. Plenty of outlets for work or study, comfortable chairs, fast internet. Service - the woman at the register who took my order was clueless when it came to coffee, tea, and frozen custard and could not answer even the most basic question. She was also very high, like first experience with edibles high and contemplating 'how did I arrive at this Cafe Dulce where these people ask me for beverages'. I get it if you're ramping up you might not be able to answer all customer questions, and in an hourly position you might not be motivated to the highest level of service. Thankfully the place was overstaffed and other employees were able to jump in and help me a few times. Placing a simple order took ~10 minutes. The owner came in the middle of that process but didn't seem to notice what was going on. Food- the dairy free oat based frozen custard ended up being freezer burned, ice crystal covered scoops of what I assume was an experimental recipe based on the whit's website. It couldn't be re-portioned as a kids scoop, cone, or a sundae, so I had to buy the big size with no toppings. It had the texture of super market Italian ice and even after letting it sit out for 5 minutes my daughter broke a spoon trying to eat it. She ate it slowly and at no point in the melting process was there a creamy or ice cream like texture. It was made of water, sugar, and coconut yogurt - it tasted like extra sweet watered down coconut yogurt frozen into icecubes. My kid likes coconut yogurt and Italian ice so it was fine, but for me who was expecting a creamy freshly made vegan custard very disappointing. If it had been served fresh from a soft serve machine I think it would have worked. I ordered an oatmilk cafe au lait which is usually half brewed coffee and half steamed milk. Despite a full $1 upcharge for the oatmilk I received a cup of extremely acidic coffee with half a splash of oatmilk that barely lightened the coffee. And, fellow oatmilk connoisseurs, this isnt Oatly barista blend, this is the cheap Costco brand watered down oatmilk. Normally I don't complain about oatmilk brand, I'm just glad it's available. But at the highest alt-milk upcharge in town getting the world's stingiest little splash of the worst quality oatmilk on the market is unacceptable. The coffee was so bad that I just gave up after a few sips and didn't ask for a remake.
I made a quick stop in here for a coffee and some breakfast to take on the road after an overnight stay in Augusta. I'm glad I did. This place is SUPER adorable both inside and outside. They have a drive through and a relatively spacious parking lot -- both nice. I wanted to go inside so I could see what pastries they had available for me to snack on, so I pulled into a spot and made my way in. It's beautiful, clean, and very Instagrammable on the inside. So cute! They have a good variety of breakfast goodies (muffins, bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, etc), some dessert type treats, a range of coffee beverages, and also a focus on frozen custard. I was sad it was a little too early in the day to treat myself to that -- I love frozen custard, lol. It took a few moments for a staff member to come take my order, but they were fairly busy and everyone I saw interacting with customers was very pleasant and genuinely seemed happy to be there. I asked the barista what her favorite speciality coffee drink was, and she recommended the caramanilla (caramel + vanilla latte). I ordered that iced and a chocolate chip muffin. I took one last longing look upstairs -- they have a rooftop seating area! How cool is that! I wish I'd had time to hang out more. But I had to be on my way. The muffin was quite large and good, packed full of chocolate chips and heated up without me even having to ask. Yay! :) The coffee was decent, actually probably pretty good, but not totally my thing. I wish they had a slightly larger specialty drink menu, or at least a specialty that features chocolate/mocha, as that's my favorite. I imagine I probably could've asked them to make me something unique, but I didn't wanna be high maintenance. All in all, absolutely precious and fun cafe with lots of variety, friendly staff, and tasty product. I'd be happy to visit again if I ever find myself back in Augusta.
Came here to get some coffee and study and loved the ambiance! There is a lot of great seating and everyone is friendly. I especially loved that there were many outlets by the seats so you could plug in your computer/phone if needed. I will say that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty, so don't use this place to take a test or do anything where you might need a strong connection. I got both coffee and custard, and I really love them both. I found at the portions were really nice, and even though I only got a kid size of the custard, I thought that it was a really good amount. All of the flavors were great, and I will definitely come back!
Great ambience and their options were interesting. They have a wide range of flavors (I had the sea salt caramel latte) with a pastry. Pretty spacious cafe for both productive work or a hangout with friends. Their service was fast with not much of a delay with our order. Worth a visit if you're a coffee lover. Pro tip: check out their menu before had. They add a twist to common fan favorites.
Wow. Heard about this place from one of my friends (thanks Shannon, her review was the first one), and I decided it was worth trying, at least for the ambiance. I'm blown away, since this cafe is on par with the cafes I've been to in the metro Atlanta area. In fact, I think this is probably The Best Place To Study In Augusta™ in my humble opinion. Seating galore! Outlets as far as the eye can see! And a second-story outside seating area with great vibes! I'm literally writing this review as I sit in this cafe right now. The cafe food and drinks are delicious and well-priced too. Got the Belgian Waffle with Candy Bar Explosion flavored frozen custard and brownie bites on top. The frozen custard was great, it had Butterfinger, Heath Bar, and one other candy bar that I can't remember mixed into the custard. Gave ample texture to the dessert. The waffle was also fluffy on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. Great pairing, and well-priced! I also got the Carmanilla coffee drink, which was a strong coffee that was on the sweet side (to be expected... it's caramel flavored). I think that was a bit overpriced, but it's not much different from how much you would pay at a Starbucks for essentially the same thing. Only difference is you're supporting a small business by buying from here, and I think that's worth it. Their hours are also splendid, closing at 9pm is solid for a cafe of this nature in Augusta. Great vibes for hanging out with friends or for catching up on work. Catch me here again soon trying another dessert and coffee.
The pistachio latte was absolutely perfect and, as always, o experienced quick friendly service!!
Saw this place and they have some of the best hours for a cafe that I've seen in Augusta. I got their chai tea latte and almond croissant. Both tasted amazing! I did feel like the chai tea latte wasn't super strong, but I do like my tea flavours very strong. I loved the croissant. It was so light and fluffy and there was a little bit of like a jammy filling to make the whole croissant come together. This location does have two stories and outdoor seating. There are no outlets in the outdoor seating area unfortunately. But there's plenty of outlets I doors, almost 1-2 per seats that are along the walls. And the outlets are both the 3 pronged and USB-A chargers! I didn't get any, but they also serve frozen custard, so I hope to try that on another occasion. Overall, will probably be coming back here to study when I need a chance of scenery!
Another fabulous find thanks to Yelp.... never leave home without it! Our sweet tooth was hankering for a little something so we found this new spot and ventured out. First off, as soon as you walk in it is spacious and fresh. It is newly constructed so it should be fresh- however things are organized in a satisfying way. The clean presentation of the pastries and desserts cases was inviting as well. I get overwhelmed easily when there is too much going on and a menu is too congested. Thankfully this one was refreshing. Several ladies were behind the counter ready to assist. We opted for smaller desserts: hubby chose a mini key lime cheesecake and I ordered a profiterole cup. They were small but mighty on flavor. I needed a chocolate fix and the profiterole did not disappoint. Both were delicious and very rich. It made me happy to enjoy something I didn't feel guilty about indulging in because it was fun size. Next time we will go earlier in the day so I can try the coffee. The cold cases also have custard you can take home so filed that away for future cravings too. Lots of different options here to please all members of your family! They even have a drive-thru. The only warning is dress warm or bundle up if you eat in because the AC was really kicking! A neat thing is they have an upstairs outdoor patio area. Maybe that could be reserved for a party? Need to ask next time I'm come by. Check this cool spot out!
The cinnamon roll was amazing . And the service was outstanding for 8:15 am . My coffee was great I had the cookie and butter sweeter and a shot of espresso
The vibe was definitely everything but the custard was even better the apples were soft as if they belonged in an apple pie, my mom got the banana split and she loved it. We definitely will be back, and I almost can't wait to dig into some apple caramel custard again.
My friends and I came here just to hangout for an hour or so. Good coffee, well priced! There aren't too many options for food but for what they have it's pretty good. There's also tons of frozen custard flavors to choose from!
Despite the fact that the owner was the only person working the counter and drive through, service never faltered. Kudos for management knowing how it's done and doing it

Stopped in for a quick sweet treat after dinner. We ordered New York Style Cheesecake, Blueberry Waffle Custard and Vanilla Custard with Caramel and Oreos. All were delicious and fresh. Custard is creamy and light, yet fulfilling and sweet. Service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was quiet and very chill. Enjoyed the rooftop area for a nice breeze on a warm night. Will definitely be visiting again! read more

This is my new favorite place to study! There's ample seating everywhere and the second floor is really cute. I love the coffee here, and the vanilla custard is delicious! Would love to come again and try out their croissants, affogato, and other desserts. They have something here for everyone :) read more

Did some work here and the wifi was really good. I had a sandwich with pesto and salt and vinegar chips. The refresher gave me a lot of energy to power through and I finished off the visit with a small kids custard. This is a popular study spot and there are enough power outlets for everyone. There is also a balcony area upstairs. I love the cute painting on the wall and I will definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Stopped by here to give it a try. I think their menu was well thought out. I feel their prices are ridiculous but it makes sense. Unfortunately, I won't be coming here often because of their prices. I had a frozen chill coffee. They come in one size but it was pretty good! It didn't taste like ice and milk like most small coffee shops make them. I was disappointed by my sandwich. I thought it would have been a little better, the biscuit on the sandwich was pretty good though. I do want to try their pastries next. Some of the pies and their croissants looked so good. The staff were friendly and they kept the place clean. They also have a drive thru. I have a feeling parking is going to become an issue because the parking lot fills very quickly. There's a decent amount of seating. I'm dyingggg to try their custard next time I go. They have tons of flavors and tons of toppings. It's very exciting to know this option is here. Looking forward to it. read more

Cute new place off Washington! I love land of a thousand hills (I'm from the town its first location was made) so when I heard augusta was getting one, I had to go! The coffee is as always, amazing. It's a bonus that they sell custard here too, although I haven't tried it yet. A good amount of seating is available and the upstairs vs downstairs vs outdoor patio are all different vibes. Love to see Augusta progressing! read more

Café Dulce is a what Augusta dreams are made of! This place is hands my new favorite spot in town. I had the opportunity to try a latte and some custard during my last visit. I don't know who Whit is but that frozen custard is to die for! During this visit, I tried the Brownie Blitz. The vanilla custard paired with the warm brownie at the bottom was the perfect combination. They even added a cherry on top for some extra razzle dazzle. Now let's move on to this latte. The Cinna latte had just the right amount of sweetness. This latte alone could put other local coffee shops out of business. Now let's talk about the vibes of this café. If you work from home, this would be the perfect spot to visit if you need to switch things up for the day. The upstairs level had plenty of plugs for your laptops and phone chargers. After talking to the owners, I learned that this was done on purpose. Everywhere I turned there was a plug. For those that love using coffee shops for meetings or first dates, I also highly recommend you using the upstairs level. It's very peaceful up there and you can avoid the downstairs traffic. Finally, if you're a content creator, this spot is definitely Instagram worthy! I took several pictures using the Augusta mural and outside balcony area. Fun fact: An employee painted the mural. Overall, this place screams "New Augusta" and I'm here for it. Whether you're visiting from out of town or you're a local, make Cafe Dulcé your next stop. I'll definitely be back for work, auntie time with my nephew to grab some custard, and those random first dates. read more

They have the best frozen custard. Cafe Dulce offers a wide selection of coffee, beverages, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. There are several places to sit and enjoy your treats including main lobby, an indoor upstairs area, and an outdoor area. The customer service is top tier. The young lady at the register patiently explained the custard options and toppings. I selected vanilla custard, sea salt caramel, and mixed nuts. It was delicious. I will definitely return! read more

Nice little spot! First time. Came for ice cream but will be back to try their coffees. Great location especially for the Master's next week. The ice cream is ok, not great. I created my own, vanilla ice cream with marshmallow topping, gram crackers and strawberries. My husband had the cheesecake with strawberries. My daughter had ice cream with apples, caramel and gram crackers (she liked it). My nephew had ice cream with sprinkles. The service was good. We'll be back! read more
