In the heart of downtown Auburn, The Collegiate Hotel and Staks Pancake Kitchen stand as two
examples of what it means to come home and give back to the Auburn community
In the heart of Downtown Auburn, J&M Bookstore has stood as a landmark of tradition, family,
and community for nearly 150 years.
Nestled in the original Tiger Theatre, Charming Oaks Boutique is a gem in Downtown Auburn—and at the heart of it is Shelby Cohan, a longtime retail expert and fashion enthusiast whose warmth draws people in just as much as the clothes on the racks.
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
