Brunch Spots in Downtown Auburn

Whether you're an Auburn local or just visiting for the weekend, brunch is the best way to start

the day, and luckily for you there is no shortage of brunch spots in downtown Auburn!

Starting off strong we have Staks Pancake Kitchen located on East Magnolia Ave. They're

known for their pancakes, but offer a variety of delicious menu items! Another must try is The

Hound, with brunch classics like their redneck benedict or granola french toast offered on

Saturdays and Sundays. You can’t go wrong with a southern comfort-style Sunday brunch at

Acre—benedicts, biscuits, and bacon galore!

Another hidden brunch gem located on South College Street is Arriccia Cucina Italiana. Come

and enjoy a slower-paced, intimate brunch experience on their outdoor patio while the weather

is still warm! Surf and turf meets brunch at the Depot. Come by their location on 124 Mitcham

Ave. to enjoy a Maryland style blue crab cake bennie, sounds like a breakfast of champions to

me!

In the heart of downtown Auburn we have DraftHouse, which serves delicious all American

classics. If you are looking for something a little sweet to start your day, Boulangerie has all the

gourmet baked goods you could imagine. For all of my savory loving friends, don't worry,

Boulangerie offers it all!

There are so many great places in Downtown Auburn to sit down and have brunch with family

and friends. If you don’t have time to sit, downtown Auburn is still the place for you, with many

great options for all of your morning meal needs! We hope you enjoy your time in downtown

Auburn.

Patio Dining in Downtown Auburn

Hurry before it gets too hot! Enjoy the “patio weather” now. So, who all offers some great patio dining in Downtown Auburn?

If you are looking for something family-friendly, we love Hey Day Market. Hey Day essentially has a really large “patio” and there is a massive greenspace with yard games.

Hamilton’s is one of my favorite patios to sip a glass of wine and “people watch” in downtown. I promise you someone that you know will walk by and you can invite them to sit down for drink with you!

Moe’s has a back patio that is a great place to meet up with friends. There is a bar and some additional benches. Perfect if your dog came with you!

Arriccia at the AU Hotel offers a beautiful setting with campus views! It is large, the seats are comfy and there is a peaceful waterfall. What more could you want?

Another family-friendly patio is at The Plains Taproom. It’s a large space, there are some cornhole boards or board games that you can enjoy while trying a new beer!

Lastly, if you are looking for the most Instagram-worthy patio, be sure to head over to the Collegiate Hotel! The cocktails and photos will not disappoint.

Spring into Downtown

Spring is here! The nice weather and all the beautiful blooms has us spending more time enjoying the outdoors. We like to call this patio season. Many of our local restaurants have patios to enjoy outdoor dining on.. It is also fun to grab a cocktail and sit on the rooftop of The Collegiate Hotel or if you are looking for a family outing, check out the lawn games at Hey Day Market. This weather also has a us ready to put up the sweaters and spring for a new wardrobe! Our downtown retailers are filled with all the colors and floral patterns. Some spring trends that we are loving right now include two-piece sets, scallop details, bows, colorful sneakers, colored crop jeans and mid-length dresses. Be sure to visit our events page to see what events are going on this spring.
