Each time we visit family in Auburn, we make sure to visit Olde Auburn and its many shops, restaurants, and coffee houses. The Pour Choice is one such destination. A setting with wonderful ambiance, service with a smile, and a must visit. read more

Always a memorable experience sitting upstairs since my clothes smell like a greasy breakfast kitchen afterwards. Good coffee though. read more

We visited The Pour Choice on a pretty slow decent morning. Parking was hard to find, we parked up the hill on the street. The café is beautiful and fun with so many seating options inside and outside. The employees are super friendly, positive, and efficient. The drinks looked great and tasted even better. We enjoyed the biscuit breakfast sandwich and the avocado toast and it was worth the price. Overall, I do recommend the café for hangouts--especially the outdoor seating. read more

I am absolutely amazed by this place to the point that I wish I wasn't just passing through! Coffee shop by day - bar by night. They have so many unique seasonal flavors for coffee and pastries. The baristas were extremely friendly, and don't even get me started on the seating situation! Downstairs, upstairs, balcony, multiple patio options. Perfect for the nice weather! Will be making this a routine stop whenever I'm passing through. read more

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Auburn. I go there before a long hike or afterward for a treat. I like the downstairs and upstairs areas, and you can also sit outside. There's always interesting food; I got the lavender muffin and a yummy tea. Definitely check it out in Auburn! It gets very busy on weekends, so I make sure to get there early. read more

Recently came back to Pour Choice with some friends after a hike in Auburn. This spot is still so adorable and I definitely understand why it is so popular. This time around I ordered their grilled cheese with bacon which was delicious. The bread was buttery, crispy, and perfectly toasted. The cheese and bacon went together perfectly and I found it pretty filling as a breakfast sandwich. I also got their version of an Arnold Palmer and it was refreshing and light. The first time I came I sat inside but this time we sat on the second level outside. It was super nice and lovely sitting outside in their beautiful patio area. I didn't realize there are three levels here, first level is indoors, second is outdoors, and third is both. The staff were nice and helpful even though it was super busy. read more

I had a nice time at The Pour Choice. My friends and I stopped by after a hike out in Auburn. The line was long, but it really wasn't a long wait! You order your food at the register and they give you a number for food and call out your name for drinks. We sat down and within 10 minutes we all had our food. I got the breakfast wrap and it was very good! I also tried their selection of lemon kombucha which was also delicious. I would recommend stopping by. They don't just have breakfast! I really want to come back and try their grilled cheese. read more

Slow service as everyone comes to this coffee shop. Great views, nice people though. My day trip to Auburn: Pour house, skip the coffee and get the cookie. Their Old Auburn and downtown is full of junk. You can explore their tiny free Gold Rush Museum next to their viral thrift shop Moon Walk thread and grab pizza next door. All walkable! Original Ikeda is walkable but we drove. Prefer the Davis location. read more

Trendy coffee shop in Old Town Auburn with great drinks and an assortment of lunch options. Stopped by after a hike for some coffee and a snack. We tried their new strawberry syrup in the latte and it was amazing. Not too sweet with great natural strawberry flavor. The deviled eggs were great but only came with one egg for $5 which is a little steep. Overall, seems like a great place for coffee if you live here or stopping by. Staff was super friendly and brought out our eggs for us. read more

This place is amazing. Ambience is very unique and their menu has fun, exciting items. We got the biscuit breakfast sandwich and biscuit avocado "toast." The biscuit is a true standout - the other reviews are all right - just wow. I'm drooling reminiscing about it. The reason for 4 stars is my avocado toast cost $14 since I added bacon. It's also advertised as having shaved radish on it. It was literally two small slices of radish and the $3 bacon add on was several tiny pieces, barely making up half a strip of bacon. Still, we will be back and I would order it again, just without $$ bacon. read more

We stopped off in Auburn on our way back from a baseball game and needed a pick-me-up after a filling dinner. Thankfully The Pour Choice was conveniently located close to the restaurant we patronized. We were warmly greeted by the staff, who were helpful with our selections, and we took in the sites of the quaint and sophisticated ambiance of the shop while we waited for our drinks to be made. We chose an espresso, a cortado, and a cappuccino, all of which were tasty and provided the right amount of caffeine we all needed. We loved that there were milk alternatives and you can't go wrong with some coffee art! There were many other beverage options to choose from, including teas, specialty coffees, drafts beer from local CA breweries, signature cocktails, and a nice wine selection. There was also plenty of seating upstairs (including a cute patio) and downstairs. read more

We were in the mood for a Cappuccino and now faced with where to find the best choice. I looked at my Yelp app and saw that we are close to " The Pour Choice" and decided on this one. Walking in the door and Neil Young is on the airways has us smiling. We were greeted with friendly service and our Cappuccino's were prepared perfectly in presentation and taste. read more

The Pour Choice - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Auburn, California

I really do hate to give a negative review, but when a business deserves it, I feel it is a must to keep these sites legit. Otherwise why have reviews! I've been visiting Pour Choice since they opened in 2017. We used to live near by and now visit annually from abroad as we have family here. I do enjoy their coffee (but do hate paying for alternative milk such as Oat) and my husband enjoys a matcha or chai tea (also with oat milk). We also like the avocado toast served as vegetarian. My issue is the tables have now become work space for those that feel a local coffee cafe is their personal office or library. No regard to others that would enjoy a seat at a table. No regard to those of us that do not want to hear their ZOOM meetings. No regard to those of us that ARE PAYING customers and you definitely pay a premium here as prices are on the high side. Today, 12 May 2025, happened to be a bit cool outside. Arriving at 2pm, my friend and I wanted to have a coffee and a light lunch at an inside table. I counted 11 - YES ELEVEN - tables occupied by laptop users. Both on the lower level and the upper level. Though we FINALLY found a seat, we were wedged tightly between the 'office workers'. And you know what, in our hour stay, we observed 99% of these tables with NO FOOD or BEVERAGES to consume!! Even as we left, the same 'gang' were occupying the tables. And as we were leaving, two came in to share a table and immediately pulled out their laptops. As I was walking down the stairs, another young man was arriving to - yep - sit down on the upper level with his lap top. At this point, all I could do was shake my head in disbelief. If this is the atmosphere you want to allow, that's fine. Then please replace your name with either THE POUR CHOICE LIBRARY or THE POUR CHOICE COMMUNAL WORKSPACE. That way, those of us PAYING CUSTOMERS would know to take our business elsewhere. I sure don't want to sit amongst entitled workers that don't know how to pay for their own WiFi or can't figure out how to commute into an actual office building. You know, like we all used to HAVE to do in the 'olden days' of real jobs or university libraries! Please Jordan and Melinda, listen to those of us long time customers. You could easily set restrictions. Make MOST of the tables laptop free. Set time limits. Set purchase requirements. There are many ways to make your establishment friendly to all of us. I know you are busy getting the new restaurant up and running. But just think, you will be offering dinner at the new location. How will it go over if this 'laptop gang' goes there, orders an inexpensive bite to eat or drink and then occupies a table all evening? That's not going to go over well as others wait for a table or have to be surrounded by an office atmosphere which most people are trying to escape! Thank you for 'listening'. I really hope you take this constructive criticism seriously. read more

Got hungry after hiking so stopped by here for food. They are located at Old Town Auburn. The ambiance was nice. Seating available downstairs, upstairs and outside. Order at the counter, pick up drinks from the barista and if ordering food, they will bring to you. We received our order pretty quick. I got the BLT and omg, it was so good. Thick cut bacons, perfectly crisp. Bread was toasted nicely. Presentation was great. Parking is free :) read more

We were driving through Auburn after spending a weekend in Lake Tahoe, so we needed some coffee for the road. Found this place on yelp and I'm so glad we stopped by! I loved the vibe and aesthetic, and the drinks were so good! I also really enjoyed the banana bread -- it was perfectly moist and not too sweet. There are lots of seating inside, upstairs, and outside! Service was friendly and drinks came out quick. They're also dog friendly which is always a plus! Only street parking is available but we were able to find a couple spots on a Sunday afternoon. I'm an out of towner, but if I lived nearby, you'd find me here often! read more

Love it. We Always stop in for a latte when travel through Auburn. Good cookies too. Then stroll around the cute old town shops.

The wild river toast was so good, I loved the bread and everything on it was fresh and tasty. For me, the latte was too milky but I would try their other coffee drinks next time. I'll definitely be back to give their drinks another try and for more food when I'm in Auburn. Service was very friendly, and there are lots of seats inside and on the patio. Definitely a cool spot to hang out after a run or hike in the area. read more

I've been wanting to come here because it's a beautiful old building and they have two stories of outdoor seating. It's in historic Old Town Auburn,with the scenery you just want to stay there and sip on something for a while and enjoy yourself. My guy had an exceptional Americano, I had the best mimosa I've ever had. I was expecting a basic mimosa with likely not fresh squeezed orange juice. The bartender lady was pouring this sparkling dark rosé that I've never seen before. I was like oh I want that whatever that is more than what ordered, she said this is your mimosa! It's La Cuverie Bugey Cerdon "No Protection" Sparkling Rose . Not just any rose, this was exceptional. The employees were so welcoming, little did they know it was a pre-birthday outing and they absolutely made my day. Will definitely be back for their coffee and beautiful outside patios . read more

Update! My $9 latte ($1 tip) tastes like hot milk. Friendly staff, nice place. Coffee is mostly good. But the prices are ridiculous. Competition, come one come all! Take half of Pour Choice's clientele. They're waiting! Charge a fair price and take their business! read more

This place is super popular! The line was pretty long, but moved along. Service was standard. We ordered the brown sugar latte and wild river croissant. The brown sugar latte was very smooth and a pretty standard latte. The wild river croissant has cold smoked steelhead trout, creamy cucumber, dill, jalapeno pickled onion, frisee (did not know what this is, but it's a curled endive). The wild river croissant was delicious! The inside is super cute. There's 2 stories indoors, and there's an intermediate floor in between the two (outdoors) for the patio. There's two bathrooms (one on the first floor and one on the second floor). There's street parking available. Overall, it was a nice stop on the way back to Sacramento! read more

My daughter's visit from out-of-town, in which she picked this place and we were very impressed with the high quality of the restaurant, food, customer service, and relaxing music. The breakfast items were very fresh, the coffee we had was most delicious but they offer variations, the service was spectacular, and the ambiance superb. This place is definitely great for dates, relaxation get-aways, or just being out amongst great people. The street parking is somewhat limited, but overall, it's worth a visit. read more

We stopped by for some drinks and a pretzel. The drinks were on the pricier side, and I was disappointed with how hard the pretzel was. On the bright side, the sauce had a nice flavor. What really stood out, though, was the outdoor seating--the view of the small town is beautiful and definitely worth enjoying. read more

Coffee was really good and affordable. My sister got the Spice Latte, which I liked. I got the Brown Sugar Latte, which I also like. I got the Smoked Trout on Toast. It had beets and a herb (or scallion) spread. It was really good. Pretty expensive. But for the amount of smoked trout that was on it, it was worth it. The coffee shop was so spacious and beautiful. I would study there. I'll definitely be back. read more

We love stopping here when we are on a road trip to Reno from Los Gatos! It's always a treat and the service is always great! We both ordered food that was delicious my boyfriend had a sandwich and I had a shrimp wrap. Sooo good! I ordered a sparkling wine and my boyfriend had a red wine. We always take the top sitting balcony, which now has umbrellas to shade from the sun. It's an amazing view. There are so many nooks and crannies to sit. I love it! read more

Awesome in everything they do! Food was amazing service was great and it is a gorgeous restaurant.

Did not try the coffee. But the lemonade seemed very tasty. No refills but hey which coffee shop will hand out refills. They have 23 different sitting places - the lobby where you order, the 2nd floor where you can even sit outside in the small balcony or the 1.5 outdoor patio. Service is very fast.
