An Open Letter to Local Coffee Shop Owner’s and the Auburn Coffee Community
Auburn Coffee has only been active for a few days and we have been encouraged by your response. We appreciate your emails and comments and are still working through a lot of them. Because Auburn Coffee is currently nobody’s “job” it may take a little time on some things.
We have seen that the Auburn Coffee community is very passionate about their coffee and coffee shops as we already thought. We look forward to seeing this passion for coffee displayed on this site and in the forums. We do encourage your responses and our only request is that everyone be respectful to one another in your comments about our local coffee shops. Be honest but respectful.
There is also a great understanding on our part that Auburn Coffee is your community. Auburn Coffee has no agenda to push, no coffee to sell, and nothing to gain from any particular view or opinion shared on this site. Please tell us what you are interested in. Send in your articles on brewing, roasting, enjoying, and anything else about coffee and we’ll share it with the community.
We look forward to interacting with and working with local coffee shops on a lot of our projects and we will do everything we can to be fair and spread ourselves over all of them. In other words you will from time to time see articles that we have partnered with local coffee shops to write, etc. but it will be in the interest of sharing coffee knowledge on our part and not selling it.
Finally, we truly are as we boast “Auburn’s only INDEPENDENT online coffee community.” The only reason we are pointing this out now is to pound home that we are for all Auburn coffee shops and not any one in particular and surely not against any of them. AuburnCoffee.com’s “staff” goal is to keep our personal opinions out of the site as much as possible and let the community run the site through the forums and by having anyone that wishes submit articles and reviews for us to post. We also realize that some aspects of the site are going to need tweaking here at the beginning and as the community grows and we will make those changes accordingly.
Feel free to encourage your friends and/or patrons to vote for their favorite shop and on all of our future polls. We see now that there is a bit more “competition” in Auburn between shops than we realized and we look forward to helping unify the coffee community more in the future.
Please let us know how we can help the community!

What we all want to know is who is “WE”. Identify yourselves.
To answer your question Sandy my name is Heath and I am the administrator of this site. I have spoken to, either in person or via email, with someone at every coffee shop in town and I only refrain from pointing out who I am in most post because this site is yours, the Auburn Community, and not mine. However, I will sign any post which includes opinion as will any other contributer.
It is not only me though who will administrate this site. There are several others that will need much credit as time goes on. I will work to establish a “staff” page in the future for us regulars and some guest contributors so that everyone is clear on where the views are coming from.
Please use the forums whenever possible to pursue discussion’s and share views. Post like this one will eventually be archived and hard to find but the forums are made to allow continuing discussion on all topics.
Thanks Sandy for your question and sorry if this has puzzled anyone or caused any confusion. I am in and out of coffee shops throughout the week and I will make sure I ask for you the next time I’m in Toomer’s.
