    Foosball
    Agnes P.

    A huge menu with a variety of drinks and sweets. The shop itself was very cute with ample tables and a foosball table to pass the time. We ordered their lychee slush and mango milk tea with boba, both of which were delicious!! Their boba was soft and very fresh. Planning on coming back to trying more of their milk teas.

    I'd tried Gong Cha while living abroad and LOVED it so I was excited to see an Augusta Gong Cha. The drinks are everything I remembered. I got a hot milk tea (I know they specialize in bubble tea) and the tea itself is exceptional. I got caffeine free fruity drinks for my kids and a bubble tea that the cashier recommended for my partner. Of course I tasted them all and they were all fantastic. All the ingredients shine in all the drinks, nothing overpowering or artificial tasting. My partner told me 'I thought I didn't like boba tea but this is incredible'. This branch is very vegan and food allergy friendly I was happy to find a full range of milk alternatives as the cashier was very knowledgeable when it came to menu items with milk proteins or other dairy ingredients. There's a range of snacks available too and a foosball table!

    My 1st time here I got the taro/strawberry milk tea with milk foam. It's was really good!! The young lady was really good with helping me with my choices. It was very quiet they had games to play & plenty of snacks to purchase. People were coming in/out but not that busy.

    Front of store. Hard to distinguish right now.

    A Gong Cha? In Augusta?! Am I dreaming? Since moving here a few years ago, I was incredibly disappointed in the lack of boba shops. And the ones that the locals said were boba .. were very much not boba. Back home in Virginia Beach, they opened up a Gong Cha and every time I visit home, it's a must. While they don't offer my favorite go-to here, a creme brûlée caramel black tea, the offer a regular caramel black tea and that's just as pleasant. I always add the white pearls, and I think it's worth the .85 up charge. While my husband asked, they did say 'not yet' to the creme brûlée, so I hope they offer it soon. He then asked about Vietnamese coffee, and they looked at him like he had two heads lol. Soooo, they probably won't have that one, but we're headed home soon so we'll get our fix at the Gong Cha there. Finding the actual location was incredibly difficult. There is no sign outside, yet. There looked to be one inside on the floor that they haven't been able to put up. Parking isn't the best either, though there was a sign saying parking around back as well. If it's busy, which I expect it will be because the drinks are phenomenal, then parking will not be fun depending on their peak times. Tomorrow, 11/7/21 is their grand opening. They have a promotion where the first 99 customers get a BOGO Free on certain medium drinks. Even if you aren't part of the first 99, I highly recommend you stop by and try a drink.

    I've tried gong cha before, the black balls were yummy and chewy when i drank the matcha boba tea, it was yummy and delicious, But also i drink milk boba tea now, I love this place like lily's.

    Passion fruit tea

    I had the passion fruit with lychee and it was so good and addictive! The menu is extensive and the service is quick and friendly. I wish it was closer to work for quick trips LOL!

    This is my favorite bubble tea spot in Augusta. It's welcoming if you want to stay a while and sip your tea and it's nicely decorated inside as well. I absolutely love the employee suggestion board. If you ever want to try something new you can look on the board for a suggestion. Here you have the option to pick your sugar and ice levels. There are loads of toppings and tapioca flavors to choose from. They also serve flavored bubble waffles and other Asian snacks. In addition to the tasty teas, the service is friendly and fast, this is why I keep coming back.

    Came here after one of my finals to celebrate being done with that class and decided to try out the black forest dessert they have since I was craving cheese milk foam and it was delicious! I loved the mixture of grass jelly, boba, and cheese milk foam.

    Taro milk tea and mango smoothie
    Crystal C.

    Craving satisfied! Been wanting some bubble tea, decided on taro milk tea with rainbow jelly and a mango smoothie with black pearls. Pearls are nice and chewy, plentiful too! Mango has a nice, light taste and it's blended smoothly. Taro has a nice strong tea flavor but the taro still comes through. Overall probably the best place to get boba in Augusta right now!

    Came back to get the milk foam tea again- it is still consistently good, and probably the only place in Augusta you can actually get milk foam. I will say that the foam is not the thickness or quality of some milk foam in other cities, but it is by far the best in Augusta! Really enjoyed the brown sugar milk foam drink, would definitely recommend!

    Brown Sugar Milk and Taro Smoothie both with boba.

    This place is actually open as of last week I'm not sure why it shows still closed. I went to visit today and try it. I am a huge boba fan and there's officially one in Augusta . As soon as you walk in you smell the amazing waffles. I got two drinks and were amazing! They just opened so they are not fully operating with a register etc so the system to order is not fully organized but with time it will get better'

    Taro Milk Tea
    PJ M.

    First time experience at this location/store. Ordered a Taro Milk Tea. The the next question was "small/medium/large", "percent on how much sugar you want 10%, 30% 50%, 70%, or 100%", and how much ice do you want light on ice, half, or full". First time I was ever ask this many question to receive a Milk Tea but it was pretty good. The store/restaurant was completely empty but I hope it's Greg finish. B Service was extremely fast as after I ordered, no more than 2mins later I received my milk tea. All in all, recommend this location

    I've gone to a lot of boba tea places and this is probably the one with most options. It's is slightly overwhelming cause I wanted to try everything Staff was helpful and answered all of our questions. There are milk alternatives for the drinks. The waffle normally has ginger, but my friend didn't want ginger and they accommodated us to use only brown sugar. Lots of seating inside, games and plenty of snacks to choose from.

    Omg fantastic coffee and specialty coffees. I had a delish honey comb latte and then great turkey…read morehavarti Sammy and THEN THE CINNAMON ROLL. AND FANTASTIC GUITARIST AND SINGER ON PORCH. wonderful stop!

    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.
