Worth a detour
Buona Caffè
Augusta · Central Avenue, United States
Why it’s on the route
Buona Caffè was started by John and Pat Curry, former newspaper people who began roasting at home; John still roasts organic, fair-trade beans for the café. Coffee is brewed by Chemex, and the Central Avenue shop has a warm Italian feel with couches and a sunny alcove popular with readers and laptop workers.
