Coffee. This is an essential word for most, if not all college students. Luckily for Auburn University students and the surrounding community, our town has many inspiring coffee shops to choose from. As a coffee lover, below I listed popular coffee shops around the city of Auburn. I also included some of my personal experiences and menu favorites with each one. Make sure you check out each of these locations next time you’re in Auburn!
The Bean
First up on the Coffee Shop Round Up is The Bean. Over the past year or so, The Bean has changed locations in town. Don’t be fooled, this shift has not changed the same great retro environment that makes this shop unique. When you walk into this coffee shop, you feel as if you have flashed back in time. With 1970’s influences, this shop provides our town with a fun and spacious environment to meet, visit, and most importantly, study. My personal favorite item on the menu has to be their famously large cinnamon roll. If you have never indulged in this dessert, holy cow, you are missing out!
Fair Trade Coffee, Desserts including cinnamon rolls, pies, and natural gelato in a spacious retro setting environment.

The Coffee Cat
Next up on our Coffee Shop Round Up is The Coffee Cat. This shop has a warm and airy feeling, conveniently located in downtown Auburn. Inside, it has white walls decorated with books, art, and a large window that invites the outside in. All of this makes for a fantastic coffee shop environment! My personal favorite item on the menu is the Mocha. This is a special shop to me, because this is where I met my fiance. Hope to see you there soon!
Be Good. Spread Goodness.

Ross House Coffee
Last, but certainly not least, in our Coffee Shop Round Up is The Ross House. This shop was transformed from a historic home aging over 100 years into a warm and charming coffee shop beloved by many. Ross House has rooms throughout the home where students and patrons can gather, study, or just spend time with one another. My favorite item on the menu is the Vanilla Chai Latte. I love sipping my latte while sitting on the amazing wrap around porch in the fall! This is my favorite group meet up spot.
