Bitty & Beau's Coffee — Restaurant in Auburn

My husband and I were staying nearby for the weekend, so I decided to try bitty and beaus based on their great reviews! I did a bit of digging to find their story, and I thought it seemed to be something great to support! Just walking in the shop is beautiful with nicely organized shelves and beautiful decor throughout. The workers behind the counter seemed happy, kind, and helpful! I asked a few questions, and the man that I spoke to was very detailed and helpful. I noticed the shop had all gluten-free options displayed, which I thought was really cool and went along well with their idea of "inclusion." Unfortunately, the shop was out of caramel sauce, which affected the overall taste of my drink. In addition, it wasn't as strong as I typically would have liked. The sweetness outweighed the coffee flavor, which isn't my personal preference. Looking back, I wish I had ordered another drink or possibly added a shot to my drink for a stronger taste.

After I ordered and paid, I was given a card from a deck of cards and told that once my order was ready, they would call out my card so I could get my coffee. I thought this was very unique and nothing I had experienced before in a coffee shop. Once my card was called, I had to return the card to one of the workers and then get my coffee. Reflecting on the experience, I could see where many would love this idea because it seems different and new! I think for me, it made it a bit less fluid in the full process. Once I received the card, I had to remember it wasn't a receipt or something for me to keep. A lot of times, the immediate response to getting a receipt after a purchase is to cram it in my pocket or purse, but in this case, I had to remember to hold it and not mess it up. Then, once I was called, I checked my card and then went to get my drink. I almost forgot to return the card, so the worker had to remind me. I only say these things because other shops I've been to that call my name or drink seem a lot more direct. There is less passing back and forth, and it's more familiar and direct for new visitors. Cards might be fine for those dining in similar to a menu or some sort of flag for workers to find your table, but maybe less helpful for those getting to go orders.

Unfortunately, they weren't able to take cash, so I had to use my card.

On my way out, there was a trash can right next to the door, which made it super easy and convenient to toss my straw trash before leaving. There was even a dog bowl filled with water outside, which I thought was very sweet!

Overall, I think this place could be perfect for lots of people, especially those who are passionate about bitty and beaus mission, but as for the coffee, I personally don't have much desire to return...

If you are visting Auburn, try this coffee shop out!! I travel to Auburn to see my doctor and decided I wanted to try a local coffee shop, and this one looked like a good choice.

I love how they give people with disabilities a chance to work. It's too bad me and my autistic brother live over an hour away from this coffee shop, or he could possibly have a job.

The coffee was delicious (I also love the little notes), the atmosphere was great, the souvenirs were cute! I wanna get one once...
