Fantastic!! My first time here and not a single complaint! Exceeded all expectations! We both got the egg sammie and it was a great portion, and delicious. We also both tried one of the Winter specials- the Nutcracker latte, SO GOOD. The restaurant was clean, offered water to grab yourself, and the employees were all very kind! Highly recommend this local business! read more

TLDR: Came here for breakfast on an early Sunday morning with a friend and it was excellent. The cafe was quite busy, but we only had to wait about 5-10 minutes to order and had no trouble finding a table. The person at the counter who took our order was very friendly despite the rush. Food took a while to come out (maybe about 20 minutes or so) but to be expected considering how busy it was. Pro Tip: If you are looking for a quick breakfast this is probably not the place for you. I ordered the breakfast quesadillas with the French toast (see photos). Had a Lucky Irishman to drink. Food and drink were both excellent. Will certainly visit again next time I am in Augusta! read more

Visiting from out of town. Ordered a Sammie, Avo toast and 2 bagels. Called it in. Got there in 10 minutes. Everything was ready and waiting. We didn't order any drinks. Cute little shop. Not very busy for a Saturday morning but while we were there people were picking up. Easy parking. read more

Inner Bean Pros: food arrived fast Coffee was good Food was decent Customer service was friendly and informal Cons: I get the sense that the stellar coffee , quite rightly, is the star of the show, and the food comes second. The ambiance was meh Not a huge fan of bussing my own table BEARDO SCORE -- 5 -- you could easily make Inner Bean your go-to coffee shop for the CSRA... however there are more dynamic breakfast eateries in Augusta and the surrounding area. The breakfast Barracudas arrived a little after 0800 and the Inner Bean was quiet; only one other patron. We reviewed the drink and food menus, and the individuals helping us were friendly and cordial. I could have used a little more guidance on the plethora of coffee drinks. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese burrito. For $8 I would label this a small burrito. However, it was hot and the taste was adequate. I felt the bacon could have played a bigger role. I also ordered the french toast. It was nice. Nothing to write home about. It tasted like the standard french toast. What arrived at the table matched the menu description. read more

A wee bit eclectic and I enjoyed the food, beverages and wi-fi. The vege quesadilla was delicious and the best I have ever had!

First time in. I occasionally visit Augusta and will definitely go here again. Staff was friendly and efficient. I walked in, placed my order to go and they couldn't have gotten it prepared any quicker. The BLTA sandwich was yummy-crispy flaky croissant, the right amount of bacon, the lettuce was a nice green leafy lettuce, not boring iceberg and the avocado made it truly tasty. The Chai latte was sweet, but they generally are and most people like them that way. I should have asked for less flavor, like I do other places. If you like spice cake and/or chai tea lattes definitely get the cake, if they have it, scrumptious! Additionally the to go containers seem to be environmentally thoughtful compostable material and were put into a paper bag. Regarding Covid, well done. The staff were wearing masks, tables inside were distanced, markers on the floor for distancing in the line at the register and there were a couple of outdoor tables. read more

Ordered two espresso drinks. Only one person in line in front of us - took them over 30 minutes to complete the order. No one apologized or acknowledged us. Two employees were behind the counter just chatting - only one making drinks, and that person was not hustling. Would not recommend this coffee shop. Also, it was dirty and the drinks were not good. I want to note - I love supporting local businesses, and I've never written a bad review. Very disappointing. read more

Ordered a Irishman Oatmilk Iced Latte and it's the best latte i've ever had hands down. First time here, definitely not the last. My boyfriend ordered a SO Conner smoothie (espresso, white chocolate, ice cream) and it's smooth and creamy with subtle coffee taste. Also super observant of social distancing. Broccoli salad with the raisins is excellent and i really enjoyed my grilled cheese fired up (add jalepenos and chipotle sauce i think?) without bacon! I'm so happy i live close to this place! read more

Stopped here to buy a gift card for a friend. Ordered 2 egg croissants and double fruit bowl. Ordered at 831 and am leaving at 858. Not impressed with customer service. Am worried about giving this gift card to my friend. No one even acknowledged the wait. Didn't even order coffee . Don't think I will be back. Hope my friend has better luck. It was not busy when I went. I gave a 20% tip too. Feel tricked. read more

I would suggest not putting coffee in Pepsi cups. That and parking was the only thing off putting. Will try again with something different to update the review read more

I love this place. I absolutely hate chain coffee bars. There is a lack of quality in the chains that is very present at inner bean. I've never had a drink there that I didn't love. The staff is crazy friendly. And they have delicious treats in the case as well. Even after I went low carb I was still able to get their delicious coffee with heavy whipping cream and stevia which is important to me. My only problem is that their hours are a bit limited for my schedule. Because sometimes I just want to drink coffee at 9:00 at night people. Don't judge me. read more

Their coffees and cakes are delicious! Love the warmth of the back area to chat with friends. I haven't tried their food but I've heard good things! Recommend the pumpkin king coffee in the fall! read more

Excellent local coffee shop with lots of decandent latte options. So far I've tried the classic latte (hot) and the Winter Seasonal Butterscotch latte (iced). My latte was perfect, smooth and well rounded, with delicate latte art - a superb way to relax and start the day. The Butterscotch latte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but quite refreshing for a day in February when it's 80 degrees out! Will definitely have to return to sample more of their coffee and trt a few things from their food menu. read more

Their food is good. The drinks always tasty. Go there often. Recommend for anyone looking for a chill spot.

I love coming here usually for the "magic carpet ride" milkshake with espresso because it reminds me of my favorite Chai drink from where I used to live. Today I came to finally try the "twisted grilled cheese" and cold brew. It was really good! The jam was a little overpowering and maybe I should have tried it "fired up" with grilled onions, jalapeños and sriracha Mayo. The cold brew was awesome and the vanilla/cinnamon syrups were tasty. Oat milk was only a .25 up charge and almond/soy they said .10 up charge. Total was around $12.00 and they do have a military discount on drinks. The wait for to-go or in store food is a little bit as it's not a fast food place but you could always call it in and pick it up in about 15-20 minutes too! read more

Yummmm. I had the veggie panini and the lucky charm coffee. To my surprise the bread was still crunchy on my panini even though the grilled veggies were moist. The flavor was so good. The coffee was smooth and even though the drink had caramel drizzle it still wasn't sweet. Very good for those that want to taste the coffee and not slip into a sugar coma. I was actually greeted warmly with an actual greeting when I made my way to the counter to order instead of the typical "for here or to go?" The inside is decorated with beautiful watercolor and oil paintings by what I assume is a local artist. The paintings can be purchased. Lovely spot, will definitely return read more

I absolutely love the Twisted Grilled Cheese from this place and their coffee is always soooo flavorful. Skip Starbucks and visit IBC. They're busier on the weekends but visit anytime throughout the week or call in your order. You won't be disappointed! read more

The food is fresh and super delicious! The coffee and smoothies are amazing! My family visited Georgia for a family thing and we stopped here and we definitely loved everything about the place. read more

Avocado toast with way too much Sriracha. They made another with less sauce, which was better. No way is that much Sriracha ever pleasant and this is coming from someone that eats a lot of Korean food! Ask for a light drizzle of sauce unless you love that much spice in the morning. I've been going down the list of lattes and enjoying the Chocolate cherry latte with amaretto. I usually get half caffeine and half the syrups to lighten the sweetness. read more

Tried the chicken salad sandwich and the veggie panini. Very delicious. Chicken salad had a good savory and sweet taste. Not too creamy chicken salad (not too crazy when just mayo). Had fruit and herbs to give it depth. Panini was really good with pesto and slightly crunchy bread. Had plain lattes and they were super smooth and robust. read more

I haven't been here in a few years, definitely an oversight on my part. I wanted a break from work and a late lunch and felt like revisiting. I had one of their seasonal fall lattes, the Baklava which had amaretto and pistachio syrup. It was very good and not too sweet. I also had the turkey avocado sandwich which was excellent as well. On display they had a chai spice cake and a yellow chocolate. I held back from a slice but only barely. Great place and great service. Their menu looks delicious and not just because I was hungry. read more

This is a great place to stop while visiting Augusta. Located in a small shopping center with onsite parking, this cafe serves a whole lot more than just typical coffee shop options! I had three attempts just to try a slice of their cake after seeing pictures online. My first trip was a fluke as a woman had literally brought all of the cakes that day so I wasn't able to try anything. A couple of days later I called and asked about their daily cakes and was going to head there but.... due to a cake still being on rotation I had to wait....again....but by the third time I was on their "cake call list" for the Ding Dong or Key Lime cake slice (yaaay)! I ordered slices of those two options and a Caramel cake slice. The slices DO freeze well, but here was my take on them: Key Lime- a bit dry, not my favorite and the icing was pretty thick. I actually ate this on the same day due to it being pretty dry (and didn't finish it). Ding Dong- pretty good and tastes exactly like its namesake. Caramel- Yes. Amazing. Delicious moist cake with great icing, everything you want in a cake. Note: When you thaw the slices from the freezer it's best to use the refrigerator method as the icing turned a bit runny if left out to thaw on the counter. Besides the cake I have also tried the Twisted Grilled Cheese which has bacon, peach jam, American, and provolone cheese. Very interesting choice beyond the traditional. They charge for a side with the sandwich, so make sure you ask them the upcharge price of a side of chips, etc. I only wanted the sandwhich so I'm not sure of the pricing. In my opinion the slices and sammy are a little on the pricey side, but it's worth it for the value. I'd definitely recommend this place for someone wanting a local cafe vibe. And eventually, I may want to try a slice of the Banana Pudding or Rum Revival cake...maybe, just maybe ;) read more

I think I caught them on a bad day given all their great reviews. I had two issues, 1) lots of hair in my food and 2) I ordered the white chocolate mocha and my husband ordered the banana foster and they served both white mochas. I can stomach a hair or two in my food and move on with my meal but this was different. I had 2 foot long strands of pink/purple hair in nested together in my eggs. read more

I think my search for a cute coffee shop here in Augusta is over! The inside felt nice and trendy. There were lots of tables AND OUTLETS to set up my study area. There was also a section in the back with couches that would've also made a good study area. For the most part it was pretty chill, it did start getting crowded around lunch time. The coffee was delicious. I ordered a white mocha with almond milk. No complaints. I will be back to try some of their food items. The staff seemed very friendly. They all spoke and said hello as they passed my table. They didn't seem like they hated their job... which is nice. This place would've gotten 5 stars if the WiFi wouldn't have been locked. :) Maybe they had the password up and I just didn't see it. Idk. Other than that, great experience. read more

Eaten here for years (6 or 7?) Have steadily noticed the drop in quality and as a result, we've come less and less out of a lack of justification for spending a ton on food that just doesn't do it for us as well as it used to. We decided to come today, getting our usual The Babe and Twisted Grilled Cheese. However, we chose not to get drinks from here, as the coffee just must not be our style. It tends to vary very little in flavor based on what you are getting (again, may just be our taste in coffee, that's okay. We just didn't want to waste the money on something we didn't enjoy). We spent 30 bucks on two sandwiches without sides and a slice of cake, tipped, and sat down with our drinks. Little did we know of the tiny 'house rules' sign that we were unable to locate anywhere else in the restaurant next to the garbage can. This sign says you aren't allowed to have outside food or drinks among some other unmentionables, which is perfectly understandable for people who may be coming for a study group and may bring their own food. However, despite us holding our drinks the entire time we were in line, ordering, and saying "for here", we weren't informed of the inability to bring our own drinks until after we had paid and sat down to wait for our food. I'm sure she was trying to be cordial, but in the fakest way possible, we were approached by the manager who had definitely seen us with drinks before ordering, and told we can't have our drinks there. Confused, we asked if we could get our food to go then, and began looking for anywhere that said we couldn't. We found the tiny sign behind the trash can, but shockingly, it's not a place I tend to look for house rules when I haven't even eaten yet and have no reason to look at the trash can. Food was okay, car was comfy, cake wasn't the best, drinks were bomb. We miss when Kelsey worked here, glad she moved on to bigger things. Just like us. Edit: No surprise the owner responds with a plate full of assumptions that was better made than a twisted grilled cheese with a side of pasta salad, apparently habitual behavior. We've come plenty of times since she left, our minds weren't made up, but that's certainly an avenue you can use to comfort yourself. She was just the only notable employee who was always very kind and upbeat when we went for the 7 years we have gone here. I'm fully aware that this manager was also working at that time, but she never contributed to any positive experience we've had, so that information is beyond irrelevant. Now, for the point of the matter, it should again be mentioned that our drinks were in our hands the entire time, even sat them down on the counter when I was pulling out my wallet to pay. I assure you there was ample opportunity to let us know before we sat down, which would have been completely fine and we would have gotten it to go and it wouldn't have been a big deal. However, your assumption that "our friend" would lead to this being a "conflict of interest" despite having been to the restaurant countless times after she left with no issue is completely unfounded. We just wanted to have a nice Birthday Lunch, and the events that ensued were angering enough to review a place for the first time ever. Sure, it may be good courtesy to eat the restaurant's food and drink the restaurant's drinks, which we did, 30 dollars in sandwiches without sides and dry cake. Not sure who would want to go to a restaurant they're biased against for their birthday, but rest-assured, the bias is there now if it wasn't before. I know you're just defending your store by whatever means necessary, which is fine, but utilizing old COVID signs as a defense for signs that exist around the restaurant that aren't supposed to isn't the best move. To expect people to know what you consider courtesy isn't a good defense (as I mentioned, would have completely understood the rule for people who are just coming to study, but we did support the business, we just don't like the coffee which is perfectly okay. People have different taste buds). If it's a food code thing, that's fine too, but I don't work in food, why would I know that? If it's an issue, talk to the customer before they sit down when it's clear you've seen the drinks that would be an issue. Maybe even *before* you take the order, or *before* you ask whether it's for here or to go. If someone gets past those points without issue, how could you expect them not to be surprised when they're addressed abrasively once they've spent the money and sat down? The girl who took our order even seemed surprised at what was going on and kindly asked if we wanted our food to go. You may not be required to have a sign (but you did, so it clearly needed to be said before which would imply that that "courtesy" isn't as common as you'd like), but it'd certainly make life a bit easier for those who don't think exactly like you do. read more

First and foremost, SUPER GOOD TURKEY AVOCADO SAMMICH! Also, super nice staff. The only reason it wasn't a 5 star rating simply because it was a 25 min wait for our sandwich. This is the perfect spot to come and stay awhile. We enjoyed the time there on our trip through Agusta but we were in a rush at the time. Overall neat atmosphere and chill vibes, definitely worth stopping by. read more

Inner Bean Cafe - Turkey Avocado w/pasta salad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

The staff is friendly but the food is mediocre. I ordered a turkey avocado sandwich & it barely had any meat & as for the avocado it was spread on so thin you wouldn't have even known the it was on the sandwich. My husband had a chicken salad wrap & the grapes in the chicken salad were just thrown in whole. They do no come with sides & then charge $2 for a side. You don't even get a pickle for free. For an entree that was $9.95 it should include a side. Not impressed read more

This is a cozy little place with friendly staff. There is free Wi-Fi and comfortable seating. While here I enjoyed a turkey avocado sandwich on gluten free bread. The bread was toasted just the way I like it and the sandwich was well put together with all ingredients balancing themselves out in every bite. I washed it down with a large matcha tea. It was a bit on the sweeter side than what I used to but it was very delicious. I will always come back to this place :) read more
