Stopped here in Auburn on our drive from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe. Super neat little mining town with a rich history and then this great cafe spot! The coffee, breakfast sandwhich, and avocado toast we had were superb. Loved the layout of this place with the additional upstairs seating, side yard, and balcony, plenty of options. It's counter order and they bring out any food to your table.They have a sort of open concept kitchen so you can watch the food prep. The place has a lot of character and would definitely visit again along this route on a future trip.

Cute atmosphere. Jokingly asked the employee what she would recommend if we were never going to be in the area again... she recommended espresso with one of their homemade syrup and gosh, we truly wished we lived in the area. Lavender was amazing as well as the espresso! The coin is 20$ and gets you happy hour permanently!

Unique, small, high quality coffee/beer/wine water hole (with a small kitchen as well). They have a large selection of beer on draft, also beer in a can for the patio. The outdoor area gets some sun but also has a lot of shade as well. It’s perfect for dogs! We can speak for their coffee: it’s high quality. They support a local microroaster in Auburn area and the it’s all light roast (for those who care about high quality beans). This is THE pit stop on the way to or from Tahoe. Thank me later. Cheers mate??

I had never heard of this place until I was in Auburn, yesterday. When the meeting I was in ended, my friend said they were going to grab a tea. She knew how much I loved coffee and suggest I join her.I'm glad I did.I ordered a brown sugar cold brew and was blown away. The flavor profile the drink offered was wonderful. I grabbed a bag of beans (ironically called 'No Hands' bland) to bring home. I just brewed a pot and WOW am I blown away. Well done, you guys! You're on my list of places to visit when I'm back in town.I will be back soon to get another cold brew from you while buying another bag of beans.Thank you!

I love the indoor aesthetic of this cafe. I also love that it had three floors and plenty of seating space. It’s a good place to sit and get some work done. The coffee and food was okay.

Pour Choice cares about what they do. Excellent espresso with plenty of thought behind the roast and eagerness to chat about it when you stop through; this shop means it with their beans. Catch them when there's music or pair your coffee with a nitro stout (the s'mores stout + spro was *chef's kiss*). An unbeatable indoor & outdoor space tops it off. I'll be happy to get the chance to come back.

This place is incredible. Met the owners slinging beans at the Tahoe city farmers market and have been meaning to use it as a pit stop when driving up to the mountains...but after finally coming here it's going to be a must-stop! Amazing indoor and outdoor seating, creative drinks, it's fantastic.

Pretty cool, but too hipster for me. Food was very good. Latte art was on point. It was pricey and employees acted a bit pretentious.

Great coffee and good food. Typically good service and good ambiance. Often too crowded and no WiFi when I’d care to use it nor are there outlets for charging. Overall a place to go to be social but not to hang out on your computer on the weekend. Also a little overpriced for what it is but that could just be the times.

Finally! A coffee shop that tastes as great as the decorated coffee looks! Our coffees not only tasted great, they were so beautiful!!! My husband and I stopped here in route to Reno. So glad we found this place! A+ We will be back!
