I also picked up freshly baked goodies-the chocolate croissant, which my son devoured. I ate a delicious bacon and cheese biscuit where the bacon is diced and stirred into the mixture. The biscuit was massive and well made. I also got a ham and cheese croissant which I liked but my son was not a fan. The staff was friendly and service was prompt and helpful. I took my items to go, but it was very quiet in a Sunday morning and a good place to read or study if you are a student. The best part is my college student daughter can use her dining dollars from Auburn dining here since she has been very frugal with them and is carrying over a bit into Spring semester. Come support this local coffee shop. It is inside the Auburn culinary building right as you enter, so you cannot miss it! Hours are 7 am-6 pm.

The latte at Thrivehere was very good, but unfortunately the customer service was not pleasant…read more Today, 5/10/26, I asked if I could get a 16 oz instead of a 12 oz latte. The staff member responded with a deep sigh as if she was frustrated by my request. She then slammed the cup down, along with the milk jug, with an attitude. I left feeling very upset and disappointed by the interaction. A positive attitude and friendly customer service make a big difference in a customer's experience.

Beignets & Brews is what happens when Paris and New Orleans decide to split rent in the middle of…read moreAuburn--and somehow make it work beautifully. The café chairs alone had me remembering travels to France while the scent of fresh beignets greeted us a block away. The beignets? Exactly what you want them to be--pillowy, indulgent, and just messy enough to feel like a proper treat. We like the smaller bites dipped in butter cream. No notes there. Perfection achieved. The coffee and tea selection is stellar. We had a classic hot latte and an iced chai latte, both amazing and oh so natural paired with a sweet treat. But let's talk about the mimosa "flight," which is less a sampler and more a commitment. Three full-sized mimosas arrived like an unexpected gift in a tiered holder. Peach mango was the clear winner--bright, juicy, and dangerously easy to drink--though the blood orange gave it a respectable run. Bonus points for serving them in unique depression glass, which made the whole experience feel just a touch more special. Service is where this place quietly shines. By the time you've ordered, you're not just a customer--you're someone they're rooting for. It's warm, attentive, and brimming with genuine southern hospitality. Whether you're killing time between classes, catching up with your college kid, or just looking for a moment of charm in a busy college town, this spot delivers. Come for the beignets, stay for the vibe, and maybe pace yourself on the "flight."
