I'm working my way through the menu and everything is so GOOOOOD! I love the atmosphere, the coffee, the food, and the people! A lovely place to get brunch too!
Quick and attentive ... outstanding coffee in my cortado.
Best coffee and great service!! My one year old hit my drink out of my hands and they helped me and got me another drink.
Great coffee, and wonderful, inclusive environment!!
Chill people and environment. Great coffee.
Mafia the best coffee place in Auburn! Very strong coffee oil flavor
I will not support this place again. Its owner Ian is rude to customers and employees. I didn't feel comfortable being there.
I just tried Coffee Mafia for the first time yesterday and I'm hooked! I got a Sugar Fox latte and it was amazing, but there are so many options that I can't wait to go back and try more. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was cozy, and I love that it's dog-friendly!
Love the environment and coffee! Have great variety of flavor combinations !
A quintessential example of what you want in a coffee shop: fantastic coffee with a variety that’s only matched by its quality, service that seems like it’s out of a commercial, but it’s all draped in a Kurt Vonnegut daydream. We love our local coffee and this is as good as it gets.
Solid coffee, always visit while I'm in Auburn.
Coffee Mafia is the sweetest and most charming coffee shop in Auburn with the warmest and friendliest staff. I would encourage any person, including minorities - queer, BIPOC, or otherwise, to give this little shop a chance to be your safe haven and to not let any hurtful and accusatory reviews sway you in any way. I am disappointed to see the recent hatred for this beloved coffee shop, especially over a misunderstanding, as it has been my safe space for years and I have come to love each member of the staff dearly.
if you are of color or stand against racism do not support this shop. my friend being the only minority in there at the time was accused of stealing by an employee even though she had multiple items in plain view about to purchase. like their coffee, this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. not a pleasant experience.
PSA FOR BIPOC: Honestly, if I could give 0 stars I would. As someone who is a part of the queer community I was thrilled to experience Coffee Mafia. I thought it could be a safe space for me while I was in town for work. I walked into the shop and was so excited to see they sell art, jewelry and other cool items. I began to look at the items and collect items to purchase. This was over the course of 5-10 minutes and yet no one had greeted me. I was not greeted with a hello, but instead the employee behind the counter accused me of stealing. After proving I had not placed any items in my pockets, I was so thrown off by the encounter I just put the items I had planned to purchase back and I left. This is a PSA FOR BIPOC. Be cautious shopping here. The employee was bold enough to announce a false accusation from behind the counter in a shop full of white people.
I first visited Coffee Mafia recently in December 2022 during an event for Family Fun Day with Pride on the Plains. It was my first time and it was an absolutely amazing time! Ian has outdone himself with this incredibly welcoming place. The atmosphere is hands down the best. The coffee is addicting (and that is coming from someone that doesn’t drink coffee regularly). LGBTQIA+ owner and incredibly LGBTQIA+ friendly which is always a plus in my book! Kids are welcome (but I will admit I have yet to see one) and dogs are too! (Have seen plenty of those!) If you love board games, they have those too! Also lots of great local art and trinkets made by locals for sale. If you want a place that is laid back but chaotic (in a great way) then this is the place for you! If you see me around, don’t hesitate to say hi! I love making new friends!
Staff was so nice and friendly. They told me about their Instagram for updates. They have a reward program. They have a shop full of cool jewelry and art. Warm friendly atmosphere. Really cool drink selection I got a blueberry pancake latte! The staff was helpful in explaining the menu and differences in coffees. They asked what milk I wanted and the cups are paper. They have a lid, straw, and sleeve bar so you don't have to use plastic if you don't want to. Go if you haven't you won't be disappointed.
I really love going here. It is dog friendly, which is a plus. They always offer my boy a treat. My dog is a service dog, so he does get to go to more places. But always nice to have a welcoming place. He absolutely loves the attention he gets. They're also welcoming and kind to LGBT+ community. If I remember correctly I think owner is a part of the community. I always love to support local LGBT+ owned business. Often holding events, which where fun to attend. But since they're so popular. The place is small, I can't attend anymore due to issues with feeling trapped. But doesn't mean you should go to the events and support them! Only issue Ive had is some peoples dogs aren't controlled. Which is out of coffee mafia hands and expected in dog friendly places. Coffee is amazing, I really wish I could afford to order it more.
Our absolute favorite coffee spot in Auburn. The coffee is amazing, but the vibe is absolutely unmatched. No matter who you are, you'll feel welcome at Coffee Mafia. Because, you truly are welcome here. They set the tone for inclusion throughout the Auburn community from the warm atmosphere to the family oriented events. The staff is so kind & I'm pretty sure Ian requires all employees to possess wicked dance moves or confident karaoke skills because they're always having a good time behind the bar. Bonus points : they offer great rewards for their frequent caffeinators from generous punch cards to a clever "squatters mug" program!
My favorite coffee shop in Auburn and maybe the south! I’m from South Carolina and travel pretty often. This coffee shop is one of the best. Highly recommend☕️
Excellent coffee and breakfast! It's always a stop whenever I am in Auburn!
