I LOVE little coffee shops that have AMAZING food and this one tops the charts! Everything I've had is awesome as far as lunch (quesadilla and veggie sandwich) read more

Great service and atmosphere... Good sandwiches too. The Turkey and avocado is my favorite, but my wife always gets the babe.

Thank goodness for additional parking behind the building. I've passed this place so many times and thought about going. Finally tried it out today and I'm glad I did. There is plenty of seating on the inside and a huge menu. After only getting a few hours of sleep, I wanted something that didn't have caffeine so I could go right back to sleep. The cashier was super helpful and made an iced tea drink that was just enough flavor and was exactly what I needed. I will be back to try the coffee because there were so many options! For food, I tried the twisted grilled cheese and that was something else. Let me just point out that I don't even like apricots or apricot jam for that matter, but this sandwich seriously worked. The sandwich had provolone, white cheddar & American cheese with bacon and apricot jam. I love when people are willing to take risks with sandwiches and do funky combinations. I got a side of broccoli salad, which was also delicious. The combination of what they put in it was perfect. Can't wait to try more on the menu and would recommend trying this to anyone in the area! read more

Inner Bean Cafe - Twisted grilled cheese (provolone, white cheddar & American cheese with bacon and apricot jam--YUM) with broccoli salad. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

See all

First time to eat here. Showed up for lunch placed or order and sat right down. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the Turkey/Avacado Panini and it was delicious! read more

Been here for breakfast and lunch and was it was all very good. The frappes are much better than Starbucks because the ice and coffee don't separate. They even had a special, buy one get one half off. Only wish they had a drive thru. Sausage, egg and cheese croissant and veggie panini were large. Couldn't eat it all. Broccoli salad was delicious. Nice comfortable area in back to sit and outside area is covered so no hot sun. Very friendly staff. Took our toddler and felt welcomed. read more

Got an amazing "better than" cake. The staff is really friendly. Nice relaxed atmosphere. I also ordered a breakfast quesadilla. Love that they have a turkey option for breakfast for us non pork eaters. Price is great and service is fast. I will definitely be back. read more

Great service and great food. The comfy room in the back is a perfect place for a business meeting or just sitting to relax. My favorite is their desserts and homemade soup read more

Convenient location, extra parking around back so don't be put off by that! Great coffee, ambience "ok ", and getting better.

Fresh soup and sandwiches, outstanding cup of joe and great atmosphere. Friendly staff....great place for lunch with the wife.

I have been back again and again and everything I have here just totally knocks my socks off. I have also discovered that this small local business is run by mostly family members. I am glad to be able to support local business while filling my tummy with delicious sandwiches, soups, coffee, and blended drinks! Try the grasshopper frozen mint/chocolate/coffee/icecream thing. OMG. read more

Very cool cafe and coffee shop! Friendliness of the owners make the place one reason to visit, but the real treasure is the coffee! Always have quality coffee unlike others! The food surpassed my expectations! The breakfast was amazing, but I definitely have to come back for the lunch! Always a pleasure when visiting this locally owned shop! read more

Best latte in Augusta. The turkey avocado sandwich was incredible. The turkey croissant was amazing as well. Love that you can get jalapeño chips with the meal. read more

I love this place! It's cozy, the staff is so friendly, the chai latte and desserts are very very yummy. Every time I go there I try a new dessert and I've yet to be disappointed! Last time I was there I had a champagne cake that was truly amazing! read more

I met a client at Inner Bean on the morning of 1/11/19 for a business meeting. I had heard so many good things about the cafe and was looking forward to enjoying a nice beverage with my client in a comfortable environment. That did not happen. The outside temp was 36 degrees. A staff member inexplicably decided to open the dining room's front door and wedge in a door stop to keep it open. The small area, which was packed with customers, quickly became QUITE cold! After several minutes, a woman customer got up and closed the door. After a short while, the door was again propped wide open. Again, the room became frigid and customers were very uncomfortable. Another customer closed the door. This played out a few times until a manager (short, plump, tatted) curtly announced that she HAD to open the door because the kitchen air conditioner had broken and the staff were "burning up." The customers, myself included, were simply stunned by this announcement. Three tables of people gathered their things and walked out, furious. This manager apparently missed the class in business school about how treatment of customers plays into a company's bottom line. CUSTOMERS COME FIRST. Sorry, but the kitchen staff should have taken one for the team to assure that their PAYING customers are comfortable. Further, a Walmart is located roughly 500 yards from the cafe's back door. Walmart sells FANS. The kitchen gets a fan, cooks are comfy, customers are comfy. Win-Win. But a lazy manager decided to allow customers to freeze their butts off instead, prompting many to just leave in anger. Yesterday's visit to Inner Bean Cafe was my first AND LAST. Note in reply to owner: NO offer was made about separate seating and I was unaware such seating even existed. Obviously those customers who were fed up with freezing their butts off were not told about another seating area either. Perhaps a couple of space heaters in the dining area would have been a more practical solution. The situation was handled poorly. No excuses. read more

Overall a good choice. It's a little pricey, but I can't argue with the quality. I had the twisted grilled cheese, which was good, along with broccoli salad, which was excellent. I got an unexpectedly huge cup of coffee which was great along with the peanut butter pie, another winner. If you are looking for a change of pace outside of the typical Starbucks experience, this is highly recommended. Not quite a five star experience but close. read more

Traveling through the area and decided we needed a stop for cake and coffee so we picked this place based on the great reviews. My roommate and I have both worked for several different coffee shops so we may just be overly picky about coffee but neither of our lattes were very good. I had the iced caramel latte and he had a hot vanilla latte, neither had a good espresso flavor nor was the syrup flavor really detectable. They weren't bad by any means just not great. We also ordered a piece of the caramel apple cake. The piece was huge and definitely worth the money but again was just alright. read more

Disappointed in the selection and quality here, especially after the good reviews. The sandwiches are pricey at over $9 each and no real sides available. There were no veggie side options. They were out of the broccoli salad by noon. Only pasta salad was an option and it was by far the worst I've ever had. No veggies just penne with some cheap dressing covering it. Won't be stopping again. read more

I finally decided to check out this hidden gem after finding them on Yelp! Look carefully or you will pass the plaza. The inside is clean and it was quiet. It took about 10 minutes to get my food. I prefer to have fresh food, so the wait did not bother me. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla (without meat), and added tomatoes, red peppers and black beans. The staff was very accommodating to my changes. My quesadilla was tasty. They have a variety of desserts, but I didn't purchase any...maybe next time! read more

Not kid friendly, personal was kind of rude, place needs background music, food was moderate, not excellent, and one does assume that a quesadilla comes with "queso" aka chesse, why was I asked if I wanted with cheese!! and coffee was drinkable in the silences. read more

Came down to visit some family in Sc, and I decided to stop by here for a latte. Working at a coffee shop myself, I know about the inner works of how a shop operates. The food and coffee here are actually very good, I got a chicken asparagus wrap with an amaretto latte and it was delicious! The only reason they received four stars instead of five is that the coffee did take a while to prepare, and there really was nobody else in front of me. Any drink shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to make, so I was a little disappointed in the wait, but other than that it was good! If you're not in any hurry then I definitely recommend to make a stop read more

A truly hidden gem! Not extremely easy to find, even if you're looking for it. In fact, my wife just happened to be driving which left me to explore the shopping centers with my eyes. Inner Bean happens to be in one of those "personality-less- shopping centers, but once you walk in, there's all kinds of personality... kind of like Starbucks with the atmosphere, except the music playing is something you'll recognize and it doesn't have the overly done multi-billion dollar commercialization! It's a little pricey, but you'll be glad you treated yourself!! I am... read more

Amazing coffee, made just the way you like it! The family at Inner Bean makes you want to quit your job and hang with them all day! The food options like the avocado eggs and the twisted grill cheese are outstanding. This is MY FAVORITE place in Augusta, GA. Don't miss out, you'll become devoted like I am! read more

Overall I thought this place was okay at best. I ordered a twisted grilled cheese and a cup of coffee. The coffee was awesome! The grilled cheese was overpriced and okay at best. It was pretty packed the day I went although I was able to find a table. I will say the table was very dirty and I pretty much stuck to it, I was pulling my coffee from the table which I wasn't a fan of. I would recommend this place for their coffee to my friends and family, I would just recommend taking it to go. read more

Cute cafe with an inviting atmosphere. When I have time I usually end up staying over an hour or two. Their standard coffee and espresso drinks are great but I highly recommend trying out one of their many specialty drinks as well. Staff is always super nice and pleasant. Sandwiches can be a little pricey but they are so good and worth it imo. Broccoli salad is also top notch. Only complaint is that they're closed on Sundays. :P read more

Great coffee shop, with more than just coffee. Terrific atmosphere and overall better than Starbucks!

Highly disappointed, stopped here for lunch and they were out of broccoli salad the only vegetable on the menu. They don't even have any salads. The sandwiches were mediocre and he pasta salad was Kraft Italian dumped over pasta. read more

The food was great. The staff wasn't very attentive so that's the only reason for not giving five stars. But this place will be one of my new favs. read more

This is one of Augusta's hidden gems. I have been frequenting this establishment for years and have always enjoyed the coffee, food, and atmosphere. Some of my favorites are their potato soup, chicken salad and their specials are always really creative. All in all, this locally owned spot is on my weekly list of spots to enjoy! Thanks Donna and Anne for creating a great local spot! read more

Inner Bean is certainly a place I will be going back to. The experience going in the morning, just after they open, was wonderful. It embodies everything a cafe should be without trying too hard to be "modern" as a lot of cafés do. In other words the atmosphere is comfortable and quiet. If you need a place to study or to enjoy a nice breakfast, go early. The food itself, though nothing incredibly special, was good. The coffee was where the experience shines, and that is what I came for anyways. It was delicious enough to make me jealous that I couldn't make it at home! If you're looking for some great coffee, a good breakfast, and a nice quiet place for an early morning, I definitely recommend Inner Bean. The service was great and I personally recommend the White Mocha! It was wonderful! read more

This place was pretty good, really limited breakfast menu though, dont let the pictures fool you. I had a good meal but my husband thought the coffee was bad and the eggs, sausage and toast he ordered was really under seasoned. There was quite a wait for our meal, there were only five or six other tables dinning when we were, and the barista told the customers next to us that there was a wait because they were "swamped" so I guess this isn't the place for large parties or people in a hurry. read more

Suggested by friends for lunch, didn't know they offered meals until then. The atmosphere and friendliness of the staff was A-plus! The menu offered was varied and the descriptions were mouthwatering, I chose to go with the daily special-chicken, asparagus and provolone cheese wrap with a side of pasta salad and sweet tea. When served everything looked great, but I found everything to be a bit bland! Even the sweet tea! Certainly didn't justify the almost $15 price tag! read more

The "Inner Bean" is an oasis in the midst of many mediocre coffee/cafe experiences in Augusta! I have frequented this locally owned establishment since it opened around seven years ago. Also, I am a bit of a coffee snob and am very particular when it comes to the coffee I choose to consume. The Inner Bean is my coffee house of choice for three reasons. First, they serve delightful drip coffee sourced from "Dancing Goats". In addition, they will also personalize a specialty coffee for you anyway you like. However, their coffee is just the beginning. Their business has evolved over the years and they have complemented their coffee with wonderful food choices such as homemade soups freshly made each day, delightful deserts and creative sandwiches. One of my personal favorites is their chicken salad (yum yum). Once you have chosen a great coffee and something satisfying to munch on, you have the choice of going to the cozy back room, sitting in the spacious front area or going to the relaxing outside area. This is one of my pet peeves with many coffee houses. Once you have your purchase in hand, there is no were to enjoy them. The inner bean has created a great environment to enjoy your purchase. It is very welcoming and cozy. The establishment is locally owned by two sisters who put their heart into the business and it shows the moment you walk in the door. Thanks Inner Bean for your establishment in our community. read more

Great drinks (both hot and cold), the chicken asparagus wrap is awesome! Their cakes and pies are delicious, service is always great. I would much rather support a local shop than a huge chain, and this is totally the place to do it. read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop! It is a local destination I would love everyone to try! I'm a regular at the Inner Bean and it's awesome that the ladies at the front remember my somewhat complicated coffee order and get it just right every time. It's easy to rack up free drinks with their loyalty punch card. It's nice to get a free one every week or so! Everyone inside is so nice and friendly. It's easy to work inside on my laptop, and in fair weather I like to work at the tables outside, too. The coffee is excellent. The desserts are heavenly. I really love to take business lunches at the Inner Bean so I have an excuse to order their turkey and avocado sandwich - it's great! My only tiny complaint is that I always leave with an odd smell on my clothes, so I have to wash everything - including my jacket - after I leave. read more

Great atmosphere great food great coffee. My husband thinks it's too pricey ($9 for a sandwich). More feminine... I don't think he would want to be caught there alone. read more

This place is adorable. They have a back area that has low lighting, couchss, and art on the walls. It's set up to be a 'zen' space. The coffee is delicious, and I would go here over star bucks any day of the week. Except Sundays, because they are closed then. They do small lunch items as well, and offer juices and cakes from the cold case. read more

I stopped in for breakfast based off of all the great reviews. I arrived a little before opening 7:50 AM and was told I would have to wait. This was a little annoying but I guess it's understandable. After I was let in, I studied the menu intently and settled on the breakfast burrito and a medium latte. I am always partial to these blankets of goodness. My latte arrived swiftly but I had to wait between 10-15 minutes for the burrito. The burrito that arrived exceeded my expectations! It was very large and delicious! The meal came with a healthy portion of salsa and sour cream on the side. These additions really added to the greatness of the burrito. My only complaint on this trip was the price. Maybe I am being a cheapskate but the meal was around $10. This seemed just a tad bit high considering all things. That isn't to say it wasn't a great meal because it was. As far as the ambiance it was not bad. The restaurant has its own style. It looked like there was artwork from local artists for sale all over the dining room. The back lounge area looked comfortable but I didn't venture back. read more

I ordered the turkey sandwich on a croissant and that was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Fresh ingredients and good combo of flavors. I wish they had later hours so that I could go there after dinner for dessert, which they all looked really good. Will return soon! read more

Great place to hang or get some work done. Free wifi password is bean but a but short on the outlets so be sure to charge up before heading over. Music is a bit on the loud side, but in a fan of the acoustic playlist of popular remakes. very friendly staff! read more

For the second time, I arrived here at 10:25 a.m. and expected to eat breakfast. Breakfast is supposed to be served until 10:30 a.m. I was declined service both times and left hungry. read more
