These past couple of years have found me in Aiken more and more. Some of it due to field placement…read more Some due to the new businesses popping up. But there is a mainstay I always visit when driving down Laurens Street. As I've stated in my previous review, yes it's almost a mirror menu of the Augusta location. So makes this one different? I still stand by the aroma factor. They roast their beans (you did know that right?) just a couple of doors down from the Cafe and oh is it heavenly. And just as every community has their own vibe/feel, so do the businesses that reside there. The outdoor seating here is right on the sidewalk (with more tucked in close to the building). The art is local of course and food and coffee are top notch. If you prefer vegan, vegetarian, or sugar (e.g. The Fairy Toast) this is the place for you.

I was hoping for a bagel place and this came up in the search, I'm not sure it qualifies as a…read more"bagel" place but what we had was great and the place is super cute and warm. The bagels are not the big, extra doughy ones, we ordered everything and while a bit light on the "everything" we appreciated that they were tasty and not too much. The cream cheese was just right. We enjoyed it with super dark roast - I'm still buzzing (kidding) but it was quite good. We sat outside on the porch, admiring the plants and even though we ordered at the counter, our bagels were brought to the porch. I almost asked for a crepe for dessert - but gotta save something for next time!

The food was pretty good. However, I did notice something different food pieces on my plate that…read morewere probably from preparing and cooking near each other. For example I ordered some crepes and found bits and pieces of green onion in it which was gross. Another concern was the man with the apron he was rude and quite posh. He rudely asked me to leave when I brought a drink inside the place. I would've gladly taken it outside or finish it and come back inside. He got up in my face and don't me they don't allow outside drinks. Like he doesn't know what medical disabilities that I have and could've had my medication in the beverage. I didn't feel care for or welcome in the café. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't mind mixed food that you didn't ask for; or a man with musty breath rudely telling you to leave and getting into your personal bubble.

My husband ordered the brisket grilled cheese, which was absolutely delicious, and I ordered the shrimp and grits, which were phenomenal at first. Unfortunately, a few bites in, I found a black hair in my food. Our server did apologize and immediately took the dish back to be remade, which I appreciated. However, I was honestly too grossed out to want to eat it again, and I wasn't given any option--whether to remake it or have it removed from the bill. What was more disappointing was how the situation was handled afterward. No manager came over to apologize, and nothing was comped or discounted on the bill. It was clear the staff was aware of the situation, as several employees came out and repeatedly stared at us, which made us feel uncomfortable. I understand that mistakes happen, but it's how they're handled that matters. With better service recovery, this could have been a completely different experience. As it stands, it left a bad impression. I would consider giving them another chance, but only if situations like this are handled more professionally in the future.

I got a grande and the cup was not even filled to the top line in the cup. I did not ask for light ice or anything to where it should have been modified that much. When I asked the girl to fix it all she did was add more milk to the drink. Made the drink completed white because it was nothing but milk at that point. The attitude of the employees working there could also be better and customers in the dining area should not have to hear them talk about other customers who have left. Bad business. I should have just tried somewhere local instead.
