Whats there not to love about the Pour Choice? Upscale, yet casual. Is extremely high quality and isnt a great location and a super quaint little town. I come here often.

Most excellent coffee shop and bakery. The choices are amazing. Would come back in a heartbeat if in the area.

This is a very cute beer and coffee place in auburn. We stopped here on the way back home and I really appreciated the fact they had beer flights and non-alcoholic beverages. My flight was delicious and they had some really good ciders available and my partner liked his mocha. There is lots of seating and I like all the outdoor areas. I think the name is really fun too!

My go-to coffee shop in a 25 mile radius. I cant even count how many times Ive come here over the years. Excellent coffee for the purist, delicious food and pastries and a well curated collection of beer, wine and kombucha for unwinding. If you order food, its going to take a while, but just sip on your drink, enjoy the people watching or sit outside and take in the view, and when it comes itll be worth it.

Holy moly, I drove 45 minutes to finally try this place and it was SO WORTH IT! I got a a vanilla cold brew and the biscuit breakfast sandwich, sat on the sunny balcony and was in pure heaven. This place was a whole vibe on every level, I will definitely be coming back!!! So damn good 🙏🏽

Great coffee, fantastic food and wonderful staff. My favorite coffee spot in Auburn.

Amazing avocado toast and salads!! Their drinks are delicious and great coffee and teas as well! Highly recommend! I always come by whenever I’m in California.

Delicious coffee! I grabbed a bag of espresso to take home.

Love this hipster place! Had some of the best Hot Chocolate of my life! Super friendly staff as well! Plus they are open early when most shops in the area are still closed. Great for a early morning pick me up!

Best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. Everyone was so nice, the food and drinks were perfection. Just go!

This is a very nice place to grab a coffee or a quick snack. They have a meandering seating area that includes some upstairs nooks. This offers a nice place to have a conversation, do some homework or just people watch over Old Town Auburn. They have a nice beer selection too!

Traveling through the area couple days ago with family and looked up coffee shops in Auburn area and found this gem! It was busy (good for them) so our wait was a bit but expected. Our coffees were spot on, the Baristas were particular with the details of a good shot and it showed in the quality of our drinks. The employees were friendly and courteous. Would definitely recommend.

Who doesnt love a good pun? Who loves beer? And likes food? Easy answer: this Local Guide.The (sort of) young staff were great. They were very helpful with the draft beer selection and describing the menu items. The salads were a delicious dinner on a hot summer night.I was really happy to find this remarkable place. Im staying in a different part of town and wanted a little walk and found The Pour Choice by searching for beer on Google Maps.Ill definitely return the next time Im in Auburn.

Nice little coffee place, friendly people, great breakfast stop, indoor/outdoor dining. Opens before all the cute little shops in downtown Auburn.

The Pour Choice is one of those hidden nuggets of gold that you dream of stumbling upon while on a cross-country trip. Tucked away in historic Old Town Auburn (a Gold-rush era town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains), The Pour Choice sits comfortably along a narrow hillside street in the restored Auburn Drug Co. building serving specialty coffee and the best local craft beer. At The Pour Choice, the Gold Rush meets West Coast hipster: From the locals hanging out on the covered front porch to the loft and street-front balcony seating, to the umbrella-protected outside patio where runners returning from The Pour Choice Running Club gather to rehydrate with an IPA.

This place is so chill. I went on a Saturday for the live music outside patio. The band was great and the beer selection is amazing. Theres small bites and coffee to. Got the lavender latte after 2 beers. So worth it to have both coffee and beer. Bring your family/friends.

Great atmosphere, great coffee, easygoing staff. Try the Cronut or the biscuit. Amazing small bites.

Great ambiance and great food - we had the Barcelona sandwich and grilled cheese and both hit the spot. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with shade. Be prepared to wait in line as this place is popular!

Ive enjoyed coming here for coffee when I travel through Auburn these last couple of years. It certainly has some of the best coffee in town...Unfortunately the most recent time I have came for some coffee I noticed a serious lack of mask enforcement within the establishment. When I inquired with the manager as to why they were hesitant to let customers know the current health guidelines I was told that, We just dont feel comfortable with that.Well I certainly dont feel comfortable supporting an establishment that doesnt take my health seriously. Wont be likely to return any time soon.Edit: Returned after almost six months hoping that COVID safety would be better here. Unfortunately all employees were maskless upon entering. Will never return here again to try coffee at this point which is unfortunate because there isn’t many other quality options in town.

Funky Old Town Auburn establishment. Multi story coffee shop with fairly priced tea, coffee and specialty drinks. Barista we as friendly and efficient. Planning to go back.

Very good coffee. I got the lavender mocha. The pretzels are delicious love the house made mustard sauce

My go to weekly coffee shop in downtown Auburn. I love this place. They have a phenomenal lavender latte its great hot or iced. The entire staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. The hipster decor and modern look fits it perfectly. Excellent service and they often have family friendly events and live music!

Nice place with a nice variety of beverages. We sat outdoors where they offer heaters for cold days. The Earl Grey Tea with Lavender is very nice, not too overpowering. Other people had Hot Chocolate, which was served with a lovely design on the froth, and a cold brewed coffee, both were reported to be delicious. I would go back for a special occasion, because it is on the pricey side, but the nice atmosphere and special touches make the prices more acceptable.

Is great cool place to hang out and enjoy a beverage in Auburn. They make a point to use all local artisan vendors. Make sure you try some of the Monks Cellers Beer Blanche.Dog friendly with some of the best small plates in town.They also sponsor tons of events including a runners club that meets weekly to run and drink.

Best coffee in Auburn! Try the almond croissant too. You will not be disappointed!

This is a really epic little coffee shop in downtown Auburn. Everything is made in house and master crafted. Something you cannot replicate with big chains, this is a must-visist for coffee lovers and oficianados. Beautifully made coffee, quaint and warm setting. I absolutely loved the experience.

I rode here with a cycling group for the first time on July 2nd. The gal at the register was very nice, with a sweet, smiling face. Even though there was a long line, she made my iced coffee and put my croissant on a plate. The BEST almond croissant I have ever tasted!!! Thank you!

Delicious coffee and snacks. It was great to sit outside on their patio and enjoy a delicious vanilla latte. I also tried their banana bread and Hibiscus iced tea. I would order it all again.

Super nice place. Great cider. Friendly staff. 2 bathrooms. Come here with friends you wont regret it

UPDATE: I got the WiFi password from another patron, so the staff boldface insulted and lied to me. :)Just go to Starbucks.Fine coffee and a cute atmosphere, with an insulting service. I like your Halloween mask, says the unmasked staff. I buy a coffee and plan to stay, but we actually dont have WiFi on the weekends. Im glad thats posted clearly and you already have my money.

This is the coolest spot to grab a coffee or beer or hard cider get a yummy bite to eat and chill out. Great energy and fun easy going setting the time just passes by with friends and family.

Tasty coffee, good music, perfect atmosphere

Love this place! I try to stop by and hang out at the patio when I’m traveling through Auburn.

Love this place and highly recommend to check it out if you happen to pass by.I agree with some of the comment that the price is Bay Area price. But my two cents is: this busy invest quite a bit so that this town can have something nice without having to go to SF Bay Area. And to be fair, this place uses good Verve coffee, and good pastries from Estelle Bakery (Sacramento). Again, you going to coffee shop for the atmosphere. Otherwise you can have it home, agree?Whether you like to enjoy your joe indoor or outdoor, this place won’t disappoint you. Check it out!

Clean, modern cafe with plenty of seating on the first floor, second floor, and outside (even with social distancing)!Strong WiFi, friendly staff, plenty of outlets for charging.Enjoyed the avocado toast which costs $9.65 total including tax. A good mix of flavors and surprisingly filling!

Great coffee shop. Really good coffee, good tasting snacks, and I love the pop up flower shop inside. My go-to place for coffee in Auburn!

Absolutely amazing. Came to Auburn to get a day away, and ended up stumbling across The Pour Choice, and let me say it was not a poor choice stopping by! I walked in to beautiful decor, upbeat music, and great service. I ordered a Vanilla, Lavender latte, and the Biscuit breakfast sandwich. I usually ain’t a big fan of biscuits but these were homemade, buttery, fall apart in your mouth biscuits. I give this place an absolute 5 stars, and will be back next time I come out this way.Side note: As I’ve found with many places in Auburn, it is not handicap accessible. The whole old town area is practically stairs lol.

Inside seating open, lots of room and dope latte art

This is the kind of coffee shop youd find in the bay area. It kind of out classes Auburn. What youre buying here is the ambiance and experience. The only reason they didnt get 5 stars is because their food options are over priced. Dont get me wrong. The food is good, just overpriced for what you get. Coffee and tea as great as is the beer and wine. Overall a nice young vibe. Think hipster with a fleeting 1920s aesthetic.

I love this type of environment, cozy friendly and local. I have to admit my standards for coffee is pretty high so my friends recommend The Pour Choice. Since I was in the neighborhood and craving some coffee this was a must to try. First impressions as we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff there was just chill friendly environment. Loved the mood of this place, live music upstairs with comfortable sitting, beautiful view from the open balcony. By the time I was done checking this place out my latte was ready to go. The latte was pleasantly smooth and the latte art that separates this place from most of the coffee shops was impressive. And what was really impressive That You Dont See all the time is how they stop and thank you on your way out. Definitely the most easiest five star rating that I would give. Keep up the good work guys.

We go to The Pour Choice an easy 10 times per month. It’s become the swankiest social gathering place in Auburn. People even come up from Sacramento to hang out here. The mood is right, the drinks are phenomenal. I have never had something as simple as a mocha taste so unique and delicious and addicting. Such a good thing going on here.Coffee, tea, wine, beer, and cider! Toasts, spreads, and fine cheeseboards.Boom!!! The Pour Choice is definitely NOT a pour choice!!!

Everybody was super friendly. Desert and pretzel was good. Coffee a bit strong for me. My husband did not like the beer. But he is super picky. Otherwise it is nice place.

I always make a point of stopping here when Im near Auburn. The espresso is flavorful and strong, and the cafe is aesthetically pleasing. Parking can be a bit difficult but theres usually a space to be found.

I needed some tea so I walked from my room at powers mansion to old town auburn in about 12min. The poor choice had amazing tea so I got another double fist of teas. That way I could drink with one hand while the other hand rests, then the other hands turn.. They served coffee and It looked like they served flights of beer also but I already had a couple 20oz mugs of hazy before I walked down there so it was tea time..

Love this stylish new cafe! Theyve only been open for about 2 months but are already doing things right. Coffee tastes pretty good, though the chocolate in the mocha was a bit bitter for my taste, and the lavender in the sweet latte was kind of unusual. They have a few small bites; the honey and grapefruit toast was amazing, but we werent big fans of the baked bree. Wait was longer than at a usual coffee shop, but Ill discount that the the cafes newness. Shop has a comfy & contemporary feel, with interior design on point. Im a Sacramento local and dont mind the extra 35 min drive out to this gem!

This coffee shop is the best and I love the staff. Stop in every time I head up to Tahoe or back to the Bay. Beautiful interior, multiple stories. Love the espresso drinks, cold brew, and sandwiches.

5 stars because I love coming here. They have a lot of room for seating, so it’s a great place to hang out or go for a date. Even when indoor seating was closed, the patio was pretty comfortable because they kept the propane heaters on and have a tent situation. The service is friendly, good drinks, and small plates/ pastries that kind of thing. My one complaint is that it can take a verrrry long time to get your order. The kitchen is small, and they get backed up on busy weekend mornings. Not the place if you’re in a time crunch. Definitely the place if you want to sit down and enjoy your morning at a leisurely pace.

Epic espresso. Served such a great shot. “Sermon” by Verve Coffee roasters. Then smashed a Almond croissant that’s one of the best I’ve had ever. The ambiance is on point. Definitely a Third wave style place. But with marble and blacks/ whites is shows a super classy vibe too.

Fantastic place!!! My husband and I shared a lavender latte, vanilla latte, affogato, and red wine macarons. Everything was incredible, and the presentation was outstanding. Thank you for your attention to detail☕

Got a latte with oat milk, it was good. On par with Blue Bottle in SF (for reference). I love the name.

Great customer service and great coffee. Love ❤️ this place the decoration is amazing

Listen, I love this place. the coffee is delicious and the food is amazing. they have alternative milk options and not-too-sweet syrups. the decor is fabulous. but CUSTOMERS NEED TO WEAR MASKS!!! they have a sign saying masks are mandatory and free masks at the door, but the employees NEVER enforce it. the outdoor seating should be shut down since its way too close together and everyone has a mask off. Ive been here twice this week and seen 4+ people indoors not wearing masks and were never reprimanded for it. the pour choice has the power to enforce safe rules they are allowing health code violations to happen on the daily by allowing anti-maskers to wreak havoc. they need stricter rules so their business can safely continue.

The Pour Choice has been a game changer for this little mountain town. Finally, great coffee, great atmosphere, and a great place to hang out that’s open after 8pm. 😆 The espresso is delicious, the food is quality, and the almond croissant will leave you dreaming for more for weeks. Thank you, Pour Choice for moving into town.

A lovely place to have a good taste coffee, do not forget about pastries 😍

Great mocha.Also I highly recommend the in house icecream with coffee (forgot the name for it,its in the photos below). The service was great and helpful in selection. I highly recommend asking questions if your unsure about an item.(Update)Since I cannot add more starts, I instead visited the cafe again! This time it was Mocha w/ lavender & +4 shots of espresso.Highly recommend trying it out.They also offered $2 off for iced drinks due to the heat.*Also noticed a 1 star review from a dude, complaining about some bs. Listen you derp, why you mad?Was the service bad? Were the drinks terrible? You are a highly volatile snowflake.

Beautiful and tasty place. Loved it ❤

Nice place for breakfast 😋

Super tasty biscuits, really good coffee, great seating area ☕️👌✨

Such an amazing place! Great atmosphere, employees, & food/drink options. A true gem of a spot in Auburn!

Loved their chocolate coconut macarons. Their pumpkin chai latte was the best I have had so far. Avocado toast with honey bacon was pretty good too. Great ambience. Will definitely be back.

Awesome atmosphere, plenty of comfortable seats and an upstairs balcony to view beautiful Auburn. Great place to hang out with friends or relax with a book of you dont mind a little background noise. Coffee and food were good, too, although food was a little pricey.

Great ambiance! Great place to relax and enjoy drinks and food

Brown sugar iced coffee and avocado is the perfect ending to a trail run!!

A nice place for single origin coffee and good food with live music at times.

Ambiance, craft coffee and baked goods plus views

They serve Verve coffee! Nice stop along the road home.

Love it. Best coffee in the area and an amazing avocado toast!

Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful coffee and amazing almond croissant 💕

Such a nice coffee shop with friendly staff. I ordered a oat latte and it made to perfection. Oh! and i bought their wool beanies so far 10/10

Beautiful space and awesome coffee!

Great food, great pours and great service

Pretty packed place. Love the setting and the culture here! ☕️

Such a grate place they have the best staff and are so nice they never slake of they try hard and work well together, they are always smiling i love this place they offer so much they have to best comunion there . the owners are so sweet and they have evry thing food beer coffee and people and so much more. they are in the best spot out there

Really good cup of coffee. Relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Excellent service, and lovely decor. A bit pricey for the food portion sizes but its a coffee shop so what you gonna do. Tasted delicious too.

I absolutely love this place. The coffee is amazing the people are amazing environment is perfect. They have live music on most weekends. Not offer price. Only negative is the parking.I love the different items they offer. They offer kombucha as well as specialty teas and now started serving food items from snacks to actual full menu items.My favorite is the desert. If they still have one when you come in grab it before it’s gone.Best place in auburn.

The coffee tastes good. I like how they have outdoor dining with a seating area. They dont require masks. I wish the coffee was a bit cheaper.

The pour has brought the life back to old town

Great place with chill out atmosphere!

Hot Tea are good the workers nicer now ❤❤

The most beautiful coffee shop with delicious coffee and snacks.

This has been shared before but I love this cafe, its super nice and food, drinks, and staff are great but they are NOT FOLLOWING SAFETY PROTOCOLS for Covid. We entered the cafe when it wasnt busy thinking it would be fine but as we waited for our drinks and food to go, 4 people entered the cafe in the span of 10 minutes without masks on and none of the employees asked them to put them on or to leave. This is incredibly concerning in such a tight space with many travelers coming through to and from Lake Tahoe. I suggest DONT RISK IT and wait until post-Covid to visit!

This 5 star rate is for the Guitar 2 Guys out side on the porche.

Love the coffee and all the setting

Very good coffee. Live music is always fun. Very beautiful inside.They turn off their wifi at 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. So this place is not recommended for homework. Come here to hang with friends late at night. Worthy the 40 min drive from Sacramento.

Best latte Ive ever had. Really. I thought a latte was just a latte until I had their latte. 👌

Favorite coffee shop of all time!!

Great place for socializing and studying

Very nice coffee. Super friendly folks.

Great ambiance, probably one of my favorite coffeeshops, if not my top favorite. 3rd wave coffee is delicious (they serve Verve, always a good sign) plus delicious foods and pastries to go with a wonderful beer selection. Beautiful beautiful place with plenty of seating and kind staff. Love it here

Great coffee, Amazing service, beautiful decor, and they give the CUSTOMER the freedom to choose whether to wear, or NOT wear a mask. Thank you! Will be sending my friends here too.

Great place perfect coffee !! Tired of Starbucks come try pour coffee!

A great cafe with the added benefit of a good bear selection. I have tried both their regular drip and pour over options and both were solid cups. They use Verve coffee from Santa Cruz, which is well made stuff. The atmosphere is good, which two levels and some outside options on the deck.Definitely a trendy/hipster crowd at times, but nothing obnoxious. Most people are just chatting or studying. While I havent had any beers here, the selection is solid and mostly from local places (Knee Deep, Crooked Lane, etc). We havent made it to a live music event, but they look interesting. Recommended.

Amazing coffee shop. Lovely environment

I love the ambiance of this place! Although seating is limited right now, I’m excited to go back when things are back to normal. Great coffee as well!

It was very nice they made a flower in my daughters hot chocolate.

Walked 20 minutes to this place for a pour over coffee and they insisted I get an americano. They wouldnt give me a pour over coffee as I asked. I roast my own coffee at home and when I travel I always buy pour over instead of any type of espresso shot, in that case I can always get Starbucks crack.

Coolest spot to hangout in town by far. The atmosphere is like no other here. They offer live music from time to time as well. Great place to kick it, and socialize with your friends. I always feel a little sophisticated when I come in. Every time I want to relax, I go here. Whether solo dolo, with friends, and or fur pals, you’ll have a good time.

Great place, theyre likr a coffee house turned pub at night. They have a deceptively large amount of seating, and its pretty spread out in all the best ways.Good for parties of many sizes.

Just quickly grabbed a coffee, but I loved the place. Another time Ill have a drink here. Latte was delicious
