Buona Caffé

Georgia


Getting something besides caffeinated drip dredge in Augusta remains challenging, but this hipster haunt in a repurposed house 2.5 miles east of downtown gets the job done. Italian grammar error aside (it should be Buon Caffé), it is the city's only local roaster and specializes in espresso, pour over and cold brews.

It also serves a limited menu of panini, quiche and breakfast sandwiches.
