She even went look at the ingredients on sauce/syrups for us (on her own without us asking). We went for sandwiches but they were out of gluten free bread so we did gluten free wraps. We were super excited to be able to order vegan cheese and vegan mayo. The wraps were very good portion sizes and the meat was high quality. We both ordered a club. It came with lays chips. We both ordered coffees. They use Monin syrup here and dairy free milk options included coconut which I was super excited for! I ordered a s'mores latte and it was yummy. Decaf is a little weak on coffee flavor so I would get an extra shot next time. Everyone is so nice here!

I will say it was slightly busy when we came in but our server took about 25 min to get our drinks in. It took over an hour to get our order (4 people). In between that time our server did not check in on us at all and didn't apologize about the wait. Several people that came in after us got our food before us. 2 out of the 4 things we got were not hot at all. On top of that 3 of our items came out at the same time and the 4th came 20 min later. Additionally, we had a baby with us who was getting fussy since we had been there for over 2 hours. When the waitress came with the check, we told her that the food was very late and cold. We asked for some of our entrees to be taken off. She never apologized but took 15% off as well as beverages. Disappointing experience for such a highly reviewed place.

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.

Line was out the door which I already expected. I got inside, ordered, waited patiently. The big guy that took my order was super nice. Finally got my coffee and yet there was no sugar or sugar in the raw at their condiments area. I informed the young dark haired lady at the counter. Then proceeded to wait another 10 min for sugar....i still did not have my croissant in hand. So boom, I understand being busy. I understand maybe even losing track of time/orders etc. what I don't understand is the lack of professionalism when dealing with customers that are standing right in your line of sight. She wasn't overly rude, more like nice nasty, condescending. In all I waited INSIDE for half an hour. 5 min in line, an additional 5-8 for my coffee and the rest of the time was waiting on sugar and a croissant. I'm proud of myself for not letting my nerves and the situation get the best of me. I stayed, but there was a point where I almost threw my coffee in the trash and left. Not sure why it took so long just to get sugar. Would have been nice to drink my coffee while it was hot versus lukewarm.

They have frozen custards, pastries, breakfast, and a wide variety in coffee flavors. I went around 10:30, so definitely enough seats to sit with friends and family, or by yourself.

The lady at the front was so sweet, but seemed so busy running the register and drive through, so please be patient! There's an upstairs where there's an outdoor patio and some board games. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I think it'll be nice to have some shade like umbrellas outside, but otherwise I think it's a perfect place to just sit down and enjoy some coffee or dessert. Definitely will be stopping by for some frozen custard!!
