I dint live in Aiken, but several years ago i stumbled into this cafe while doing some work in Woodside with an estate sale company. Fell in love with Village Cafe, but only ever got to try breakfast, which was always amazing. Well, i was excited to see that my neurologist was in this plaza. I stopped in for lunch, and let me just say, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich that was on special was soooo amazing. I have been struggling with my appetite lately, and i ate every bite of this sandwich. It was amazing, and the staff was super nice also. I hands down. 10/10, recommend stopping at this place. I wish i wasnt an hour away!

In the words of my daughter “oh my this place is adorable” best describes the Village Cafe. Went with the turkey sandwich which was excellent. Not often that a sandwich hits all the high notes but this one does. Small outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice.

Hands down one of my favorite places to stop by for a coffee before work. Always a consistent latte, great management, and gorgeous venue.

The food is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly. We walked in 10 minutes to close and they created us like family and said order whatever we want. So kind of them. Thank you so much!

Let’s start by saying I had no idea…we found this place on TikTok. This place is hidden in an elder community in Aiken. Upon entering we saw that we were the only African Americans customers in the cafe. That doesn’t bother me it’s not the first time. The cashier literally said “y’all must be visiting” I mean ok, it is what it is no one bothered us, we ate, took pictures and left. If the customers said anything it wasn’t to us or they waited until we were gone.

Pretty good place for a coffee and a bite to eat. Prices are average, ~$10 for a large sandwich (I got DOUBLE bacon, picture is with DOUBLE bacon). Coffee is better than average and about the price of Starbucks. Plenty of seating and has a shaded patio as well.

Popped in for a quick breakfast and coffee. The prices on their menu are very affordable. The two ladies that greeted me were very polite and made me feel welcome — despite the computer issues (had to restart the system for an update) they were very professional with me.
They asked me what choice of bagel I wanted with my order, when I asked what options they had I selected the everything bagel but was given a plain bagel instead. This wasn’t a big deal for me, because the food was still fresh and I enjoyed it. For any coffee aficionados, they do not steam any milk here so just a heads up if you want a Cortado they won’t be able to do it. However, you can still get an espresso! Overall I would come back and give it another try.
Update: Village Cafe does have a Cortado available! The owner is working hard to train all of his new team members. Pop in and give them a try, places like this often get overlooked in Aiken because everyone likes to go downtown — you won’t be disappointed! There is also a beautiful fountain nearby where you can enjoy your coffee and food. The area has a very peaceful atmosphere compared to downtown Aiken.

You food can be great, but if your staff sucks, I won’t come.
Your staff is great.
