The Pour Choice

We travel with our pup even coming up to Auburn and visit The Pour Choice every time we come up! The service is great, the food and drinks are yummy, and there's a really nice atmosphere. We sit outside because we have a dog, you'd think it would be miserable during the 100° day but, it wasn't! They have a huge swamp cooler that cools the outside area nicely. It was so nice to have a place where we could enjoy food and drinks and not sweat to death!!! ... Also... You have to get the pretzels 🤤

Was in town visiting and met up with some people to catch up! It was the most perfect spot! They have balcony seating, outdoor area with more seats and indoor. Loved that they had a wine selection as well. Super cute spot to get work done or just hang around. The staff is sweet and it can get busy so be patient. Drinks will be called to pick up and food is delivered!

Staying a long weekend in Auburn, I was worried I wouldn't find an interesting coffee shop as I usually enjoy. I was very wrong, "The Pour Choice" is an excellent coffee shop, right up with the top of those that I frequent. It is in a beautiful location on the historic Sacramento Street in downtown Auburn. It has both a full service coffee bar as well as a wine bar for tasting and craft beers. I had a regular mocha, it was very tasty complete with well done latte art. They had a nice list of different flavored lattes which I'll be sure to try on my next visit. The loaded banana bread with peanut butter and banana was exquisite and surprisingly not overly filling as I was worried it would be. They have plenty of interesting breakfast and lunch foods or just afternoon snacks to enjoy. It was hard restraining myself from trying more of them on my morning visit, but I'll certainly be back so that I can get a taste of many of these. There is plenty of seating, deceptively so - I initially thought it was only downstairs and in front of the shop, but was pleased to discover that there is more seating in the back as well as an upstairs loft seating area, upstairs side patio and a porch up above with a view looking out onto the main street - All of these were great options for enjoying a nice view or people watching. The service was excellent despite there being many people enjoying their morning coffee and breakfast, the baristas all managed to keep up with demand with quality coffees and foods. A surprising little bonus was a little flower shop set up in the front which was nice and added to the atmosphere.

Great atmosphere! Definitely going to be a regular place to stop in to have a nice lunch/breakfast chill break!! I had an iced mocha latte and it was a little lacking in the espresso and mocha Department. Their chai latte is absolutely DELICIOUS and I can’t wait to try it with a few modifications next time! I’d love to explore the rest of their menu!

Swanky & cool spot. Shop was pretty crowded for a Sunday afternoon. I was probably 3rd in line to order so not unreasonable. Staff was very friendly. Lots of fun retail…makes for great small gifts or stocking stuffers. Ordered iced caramel latte. Baristas seemed pretty chatty with each other in case you’re in a hurry and don’t have the time to wait 25 minutes for them to prep your coffee order.
