A perfect cup of joe

For years, Auburn residents lamented the fact that there was nowhere to get a good cup of coffee in the city. Now in just one short year, there are three coffee shops.

For some, this might be a caffeine overload. But for others, coffee-lovers and local business people alike, the new cafes mean that there's something good brewing in Auburn.

Last August, Espressions Cafe opened in Lattimore Hall to the delight of CCC students in need of a mid-day coffee fix. In November of last year, Yesteryears Coffeehouse and Cafe opened for business on the newly renovated State Street mall. And now there's Witches Brew, a coffee shop and cafe on Genesee Street next to HSBC.
