I loved the artwork in the shop, as it made me feel like I was in a big city, an international city. The staff was really nice as well, and my simple cup of black coffee was pretty good as well. They also had a cool selection of merchandise for sale, which included mugs, stickers, candles, etc. In addition, they had a cool outdoor area, which would be great on a nice spring or fall day! All-in-all, Curiosity was great, I'd highly recommend it, and I'll be back in the future!

They were both SOOO delicious. I was hesitant that my 84 year old grandma would be open to a protein shake but it really just tasted like dessert! She broke her arm and doesn't have a big appetite for anything but sweets so I was so grateful she got some protein in. The women working were very friendly. I will definitely make it a stop every time I visit!

I have gotten shakes here before and loved them - the cheesecake shake is really good!…read moreThe last time I went I ordered a tea, one of the boosted teas. The tea is made in two containers, they put water and whatever in the cup then mix up the add in's and other powders in a separate container with water, mix it up. They then add ice to the cup. The lady preparing mine said (to herself I guess) "I put too much ice" as she poured the mixture over the ice in the cup - only half would fit. (she sat it back on the counter) I asked if the add ins were included, she said yes that they were all in there and pointed to my cup. I feel like I paid $14 for a cup of mostly ice. And I'm not happy about it so I'm unlikely to return.

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.

I guess I'm not a "real" connoisseur of coffee because it was ok. Not horrible but not "I gotta…read morecome back tomorrow" either. I could not taste the flavor that I asked for and there was no recommendation or suggestion of remaking it. I felt like "get what you get and don't pitch a fit!" Instead of making it "right". AND I like hot drinks to to be HOT, not lukewarm...I feel like I have to consume it quicker when it's just lukewarm as opposed to being HOT, I can savor it longer. Just my thoughts.
