Rosshouse Coffee

Great coffee house to hang out with friends or get some work done. Really beautiful location in a renovated house, has a very local cultural feel. Coffee is great, they are in the process of creating a local roast, always friendly service, very convenient to campus but off the main trail enough to be a quiet reprieve from the noise around College Street.

Waited 1 hour for an Americano, 30 more minutes for a scone, and even more for a cinnamon roll. It took a total of 2 hours to get my cappuccino and I got it as I was leaving. I told the manager to not make it and she made it right then for me. Two older gentlemen who ordered waay after us got their coffee and food first, so I told the manager. Her response was, "they just fussed about it more." I understand it was a bit busy, but if I have to wait for 2 hours for coffee that's just bad. Invest in an additional espresso machine or something. Scone was good, cinnamon roll was cold even though I know it was made after i ordered. Cappuccino was good.

Some of the best coffee in Auburn, they make a very good cortado, however the dark roast beans used for espresso aren't the most pleasant for just a shot of that. Ross House does have a large selection of pastries and food, the chocolate muffins are excellent, especially when they are warmed up, the cinnamon rolls are decent, not as cinnamony as I would like. It can get busy there in the evening due to its proximity to 160 Ross. They do have a large patio out front to work or hangout on, along with ample parking around back.
