The service was good at first. We were greeted when we walked in and we took a look at the menu. It was our first time there since we were visiting from out of town so they gave us a few recommendations and we ordered our food. We then sat down at a table since it was self seating. We didn’t get our waters until after our food was served which is fine I understand they get busy. The food didn’t take too long. We ordered 3 dishes. The Down home, the banana nut, and an omelet with turkey sausage and veggies. Our server came to our table and served us 3 dishes. Which dish was which was not explained to us and we thought all our food was out already because after she served us she said “does everything look good” or something along those lines. The banana nut was obvious but we weren’t sure what was the omelet or the down home because there was a small side of an omelet waffle which was just egg. We didn’t know if any of the dishes came with a side of an egg omelet or if the dish was served as a mistake. I then bring the small omelet dish to our server. I asked what the item was or it was included in what we order and she looked at the dish and took it away and brought it back to the kitchen. She then took a look at our receipt and didn’t really say anything or explained to us what the small side of egg waffle was. Didn’t answer any of my questions and I never saw that small side of egg waffle again. Shortly after then our down home dish was served to us. It was just a confusing situation that I wish could’ve been handled better by communicating with us. As for the food, the pictures online are a bit misleading and on the expensive side for the quality. All the photos were taken right after it was served to us. I’d only order the omelet again. A bit lacking with the ingredients and needs sauce. The down home was too doughy for my liking and it’s a mix of salty and sweet from the batter and ingredients. The banana nut it was very crispy and came with powdered sugar and a side of the glaze. I didn’t taste much banana or saw any nuts on/in the waffle.

Me and the girls went to brunch on Sunday 7/12, and this was the spot we chose. The staff was very friendly and welcoming we even got a sample of waffles as we waited for the rest of our party. When I say there was a party in my mouth a party happened lol them waffles was so good light and fluffy. I had the banana nut waffle and the salmon croquet with the grits/cheese waffle. I'm not a fan of grits but that waffle was on another level 10/10 across the board. So worth it definitely adding this to our rotation of breakfast spots! And the house syrup is the bomb!!

The restaurant was good, small setting, service was good but the price did not match eating off plastic plate and forks. Small portions also for the cost. The taste was very good and different. The staff was great and the Chef came out to speak to us.

It's my first time ever dining in Augusta. I was hungry and searched for breakfast/brunch in downtown... So delighted that I was able to support and meet a service service-minded entrepreneur!! It's a really cool space right off of the main downtown corridor. The food was ready fast and served with a smile. I enjoyed speaking with the owner and staff. And syrup is otherworldly!! Next time I'm in Augusta, I'm definitely going back!!

Cafe on 8th has a good location but poor signage, if my husband hadn’t pointed it out I would’ve missed it. Over all I would I would say the owner seemed great. The food was Great!!! I mean I did actually kinda dream about that waffle. (My husband had brought me a waffle to go a few days ago.) The atmosphere was ok could use some more aesthetic like maybe an actual theme or something. It felt like a mix between a sports bar and a smoothie shop and a cafe? The restaurant has a lot of potential but needs to pick what type of restaurant it wants to be. Is it more like a deli where you place your order and then come pick it up at the window or an actual sit down restaurant with a server, or even kinda like a made to order cafeteria style. Really just needing customers to be able to walk in and know what to expect, what their “role” is are they going to be served are they throwing their own trash away or what. The prices were actually decent not over priced or underpriced. The wait time for getting our drinks was amazing but our food took quite a bit longer. Not to mention my husband received the wrong waffle and my waffle was initially given to the wrong person and had to be remade. I would give this restaurant an 6 out of 10. Again food was really good and the place is not hopeless but it does have a lot of room for growth.
