I ordered their seasonal drink, the purple oasis, and was surprised by how well the flavors worked together! I also ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel sammie, which was decent, but filling :) before leaving, I picked up some beans and a sticker to take home. I highly recommend for your next study session or catch-up with friends!

There are coffee shops designed to make you feel comfortable, and then there are places that simply…read moreare. Buona Caffe is the latter. 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.

This might've been a bad day that we came in and I'd be willing to give it another shot…read more Firstly, we came in and were seated at a table that had all sorts of wine on it (looked like a prep table). 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.

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. Their coffee prices aren't bad; I got their maple cinnamon latte (iced) and that was like $5. 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!!

My better half went for one of the brownies and was equally amazed. We were so impressed we grabbed a couple more goodie's for the rest of the family. Our barista was second to none with the customer service she offered. The ambiance is very welcoming. We definitely recommend you stop in and give Edgar's Bakehouse a try.

The concept is similar to Dutch bros and caribou, where there's a drive through and a pickup window. They have drinks varying from coffee to dirty sodas to sparkling drinks.

I got a 32 oz Lime MD (Dr. pepper, lime, vanilla), and it was around $5. I'd ask for less ice next time, but it was so worth it. You can also add/customize however you want.

That's when I knew that we were going to be lifetime customers. It's super inviting, and very kid/family friendly. My daughter loved running around and looking at all of the cool stuff that is placed in the shop for sale from some of the local small businesses. There is a little coloring station set up in the shop, and that also caught my daughters attention (she loves to color). On top of all of that, she LOVES Miss Jennifer! This is not your average tea shop. Are you are looking for a place to hang out, decompress, full of laughs, very nice people, and a place to also bring your little ones? THIS IS IT! On top of being a great place to relax and hang out for all ages, Jennifer also gives you tons of options for teas, shakes, and coffees! Every single one I have tried has been delicious! These are low calorie and sugar free, so there is no feeling bad for consumption of anything later! For comparison, her shakes are 20 Oz and have less calories than a tall standard Starbucks Frappuccino. The teas will give you that extra kick in the pants that you may need to get through the day. I don't live in the area locally (from out of state), but I have family that lives in the area and visit fairly often. I bought some DIY take home teas for when I am back home. They have not disappointed! I haven't even mentioned the best part yet. She also has a drink menu for kids! It's unique because all of the drinks are named either after a popular kids movie or character! The drinks are also sugar free and caffeine free. My daughter loves them! You really can't go wrong with anything! When we go in, she knows where we are and knows that she is about to get a nice little treat (and it's also nice knowing that she won't get crazy from drinking the drinks due to them being sugar free and caffeine free). She gets really happy too when she sees Miss Jennifer! I'm telling you, if you haven't been yet and are in the Augusta area, GO! Take the whole family! If you want the full experience, I highly recommend hanging out for a bit so that you can take it all in. You won't find anything like this (or even close to as awesome) in the Augusta, Evans, Martinez, or Grovetown area! Warning: it is highly likely that you will be hooked after your first visit.

They have 2 location in the Augusta or Grovetown area you can choose from. Both locations open up at 05:30 on the dot. Both locations (Robinson Ave & Belair Rd) have fantastic service. Belair Rd has an actual drive thru that you can order from versus the Grovetown area which doesn't. Either way service is fast. When I want to treat my coworkers or students, I put in an order of their assorted donuts. Getting a dozen of these is always a favorite for the office to munch/chomp on. The flavors are chocolate, blueberry, red velvet, and original batter in the dozen. **Recommendation** If you are ordering more than a dozen, as I have done in the past a few times (5 dozen), please call the day before and provide the time you will pick up the donuts. It makes it easier for them to be prepared for your arrival with your order, and provide it to you nice and hot/warm to serve as soon as you get to work. If you don't, you can still come in and clean house on what they do have, just would be a little courteous for you to give a heads up. Definitely recommend both Belair locations in the Augusta and Grovetown area.

Yelp nudged us toward New Moon Cafe, and while the signage from the street is minimal enough that we almost walked past it, we eventually found our way inside and were glad we did. At 12:30 on a Saturday the timing worked in our favor. We stepped right up to the counter with no queue at all, placed our order, and settled in. By the time our food arrived about fifteen minutes later, the line had grown to the point where people were waiting nearly that long just to order, which gave the whole place that lively, slightly chaotic weekend energy without ever feeling rushed. Mrs. K chose the smoked salmon bagel, which came out panini pressed, a small twist on a classic that she enjoyed. I am still keeping things keto, so the chef's salad with blue cheese was exactly what I needed, a generous portion that felt balanced and satisfying without pushing me off track. They offer plenty of coffee drinks and smoothie combinations, but we kept things simple and were perfectly happy with our choices. There is outdoor seating if that is your preference, and the whole experience had that relaxed, local charm that makes Augusta lunches feel unhurried even when the dining room is filling up around you.

This place has an excellent menu with breakfast and lunch options and something to suit different needs. I was excited to know they had gluten free bread options. I ordered the honey crunch bagel (peanut butter, Granny Smith apples, honey and granola--no granola for me though) on gluten free. It comes as a gluten free roll. I was shocked by how something so simple was so delicious. I ordered a side of bacon--seemed to be more like the consistency of microwave bacon but I was just grateful to have a protein option outside of eggs. I also ordered a decaf iced caramel latte with coconut milk. Their regular caffeinated iced lattes are made with their cold brew. If you are someone without food allergies, their pastry case looked AMAZING. Highly recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch!
