We ordered take out from here for lunch. It was absolutely delicious! We both ordered paninis. The potato salad was to die for. We actually went back for breakfast (which was also really good) and ordered some potato salad to-go the day we were leaving town. If we ever come back to this area, we will definitely eat here again.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! A great place for lunch or breakfast! Augies just moved their location just down the street and has improved tenfold! While us locals will all miss the small quaint location on the corner, their new location is absolutely beautiful and has opened up space for more tables and seats. A very nice change when it comes to space. The new colors and overhead skylight make for a very nice bright and open feel, but the coffee corner and back room offers more privacy if wanted. The menu still has all of your favorites and more. Highly recommend for anyone local, visiting or just passing through. Grab a delicious panini, wrap, soup, salad, ice cream or milkshake and support a business that gives back!!!

Such a cute coffee shop! We showed up minutes before closing but were met with smiling faces. They did not make us feel unwelcome or rushed. I got a plain hot decaf latte which was delicious. I really appreciated that the barista knew the decaf beans were a Swiss water process. The place was clean and cozy. Hope to go back sometime and spend more time there. I am kind of bummed they are closed on Saturday tho.

What a great place for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. They moved across the street from their original location. The newer location is bigger, and very nice.
