    Oat milk chai
    John B.

    This place is notable for having a variety of food with vegan options. I came in seeking only a drink on the day, however. GPS brought me to the front side which had little parking, but I drove around to the back where there was plenty. My chai was a syrupy but reasonably satisfying flavor, and oat milk was available. There was a party room in the back which was used for a gathering from the nearby military base. I'd be happy to come back and see what they can do for vegan brunch food.

    I previously gave a glowing review however today their customer service left a lot to be desired. We had planned to order lunch as a department and I called an hour in advance at 10am to place an order of 9 sandwiches. I was told that they only had one cook and could not accommodate us. I asked if we gave them 2 hours could the fit us in and was again told no. I could hear the manager in the background saying we can't do it no matter what they say. So disappointed in this rude behavior. I usually love to support small businesses but apparently this one does not want us to support them. So we went to Panera instead. I won't wish anything bad on you but neither will I support this place again or recommend it to others.

    I honestly didn't know this place existed. I was at the nearby Home Depot and needed something to eat and some coffee. I looked up coffee shops near by and Inner Bean Cafe popped up. I figured I'd give it a try. The service was really good. All the employees were really nice. The club sandwich was good. When you first pull in, it looks like there is limited parking. But there is more parking the rear of the building. For sure a nice little place to come do some school work and study. For those who are looking for GLUTEN FREE, GOOD NEWS!!!! All the sandwiches and wraps can be made GLUTEN FREE.

    Ambience. A Service. A Food / drink. A Price. A Found strip mall shopping center. Limited parking in front But also parking in Back of facilities. As well as seating areas in back. Service is walk up to counter and order drinks and food options. Serves breakfast and Lunch (wraps, salads and sandwiches.l) Server was friendly and helpful for my first time and recommended my coffee. (double shot with oat milk in tall 12 oz. Glassware mug. Very tasty. Ordered the Egg Sammie (sandwich) choose bacon or sausage. We ordered both. Food is cooked and orepared order. Came out hot and fresh. Had my eggs cooked over easy. Perfect. Overall, Im a Fan!

    Garden wrap as a salad with tofu - look at all that avocado!
    Sarah K.

    Stopped at Inner Bean with my daughter after a friend recommended it for it's vegan options. With a little creativity and help from the amazing staff, nearly everything on the menu can be customized to be vegan AND gluten free. Oh, and the prices are completely reasonable. I wasn't inspired by the salad options on the menu so I asked for garden wrap with no wrap. I added the tofu and oh my goodness this tofu is so good. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly crispy. I'm a big dressing person so homemade dressing would have made this 100% perfect. My daughter got the kids PB&J which she declared 'SO good!'. I'd expected it to come with a little mini side (chips or fruit or something) since it's a kids 'meal' but my daughter was happy to snag a large portion of my salad as her lunch side. I didn't get a coffee but the coffee selection looks incredible. And unfortunately all of the vegan desserts were sold out. This place is en route for my weekend errands so I know I'll be back frequently.

    The Pumpkin King!
    Ophelia M.

    Had the opportunity to get a little work done while sipping a cup of yum this morning at Inner Bean Cafe. Inner Bean serves up a variety of specialty coffees (leaning on the sweeter side of things) as well as breakfast and lunch items. When I visited, I enjoyed one of their monthly coffee flavors, The Pumpkin King, as well as a bowl of fresh fruit. Both were lovely. The fresh fruit included fresh banana, mandarin oranges, blueberries, and strawberries. All of the fruit was sweet and delicious and all fresh--no canned mandarin oranges here! The coffee was everything a pumpkin spiced coffee ought to be. It's an order at the counter and then they'll bring your coffee and food out to you situation. The wifi was speedy (the login info is posted at the counter). The prices were quite reasonable ($10 for my bowl of fruit and specialty coffee) and the service is friendly. There's a private lot for parking. If it looks busy, not to worry, there's additional parking out back! Get to it!

    Quaint and cozy, loved my stop at Inner Bean! With free refills and a delicious breakfast bowl (with their fresh ingredients added on top of the cooked eggs rather than in them [idk why but that's important to note]), Inner Bean quickly made it's way to the top of my list of coffee shops in Augusta.

    This is a local place that I remember - five years ago - being absolutely phenomenal. Great coffee, amazing home town feel, exceptional service, the food was decent. We are back in town visiting and maybe this experience is as a one off. The coffee is still good - interesting flavors for lattes although a bit weak, I didn't get any food but looks decent, and smelled delicious. The service sucks though. Twenty three minutes to get two lattes when although it was steady, it was not busy. The girls behind the counter were hugging on each other, due to stress I imagine, and they all seemed very overwhelmed. It was very bizarre - they were also eating stuff behind the counter. I totally get being hungry, but step off the front line imo versus eating over peoples drinks. They were not very friendly outside of one girl, who seemed to be trying her hardest. But unfortunately, it was very off putting from the rest. It took about 30 minutes to have a quick in and out for coffee - so just know that, In note to the owner, Shane: I am surprised you are able to check cameras within the fifteen minutes since I posted this review - that's actually shockingly quick. As far as them eating, they definitely were. I'm not sure why you'd think I'd just put that in a review if it wasn't true. Secondly - since it's still a busy Saturday, perhaps since you've got the time to apparently check a video camera within fifteen minutes, step up as owner and go help your front line employees who (again outside of the one with the blue hair) were incredibly flat affect and rude, and help with the supposed Saturday morning rush. You were able to cross Reference my name with all the orders from this morning? That quick? Find the specific moment in time I saw them eating, drinking, and hugging over each other? Honestly, your integrity gets called into question - own it instead. Thanks for the response, but I'm afraid that just made me not ever want to go again. Yikes.

    Not a first timer! Although the service was extremely slow today, they still get 5 's. Unfortunately, there was only one cook (bless her heart) and it was pretty busy when I went around 11:40am. I do wish the young lady taking orders would have communicated that it would be a longer than normal wait. I waited 50 mins . It wasn't until I inquired about my order that she provided that information. I was completely fine and understanding. But, communication is key. I ordered a limited time summer drink called the Iced Honey Blackberry Matcha which was absolutely delicious!!! And, the Twisted Grilled Cheese, also delicious. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. I sat outside today which was nice. If you're looking for a small coffee shop feel, this is it. Great for dining alone, brunch date, or small groups. I love this spot

    So not sure how I've missed reviewing this place. Been plenty of times, for a reason. The lattes are very smooth and delicious. So many different flavors and seasonal options. The food is really good as well. I really enjoy the Sri-Pesto wrap. The food is cooked fresh. They also have two rooms, the front is typical table and in the back is more relaxed feel with couches long table, dimmer lighting. Great coffee shop

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.

It can feed 2 people. It was so cheesy, a little salty, but perfect breakfast in a loaf of focaccia. The service was nice too! It did get busy around 10am, so it may be harder to find seating inside. It also does get loud and I did see some families there with their kids which is completely fine. If you want quiet, I'd say go earlier in the day when they open. Overall, great food and drinks, amazing service, and definitely recommend!!
