This popular coffee shop was previously a home for college students until it was turned into The Ross House.

6. Well Red
Well Red has very quickly become an Auburn classic and favorite after opening up just over the summer. It is always packed with students during the day getting some good work done. Not only is it a coffee shop, but there is a huge selection of books for sale and turns into a wine bar at night! They also have a stunning and eclectic interior that never gets old to look at.
Coffee shops have always been an important part of this town, but they have been especially useful during these hard times. Whether it is a student in online classes or a work-from-home resident getting out of the house, coffee shops are serving a large duty this year for many folks’ serotonin levels.
