What a great spot! I had a honey and brown sugar oat milk latte, and it was the second-best coffee drink I've ever had. Then I bought a Joe Abercrombie book I hadn't read yet. Perfect morning.

Well Red Read: Second Story is hands-down my favorite coffee shop in Auburn. The coffee, drinks, and food selection is spot on and will satisfy any appetite no matter what time of day. Various quiches, muffins, biscuits, and breakfast cookies are perfect with your favorite morning coffee. Their red velvet cookie is a very satisfying afternoon snack. And an after dinner glass of wine paired with cheesecake is excellent choice while having a relaxing conversation with family and friends. The coffee, drinks, and food are executed by the best group of team members. I have never once had a sub-par customer experience. They are always friendly, knowledgeable, and seem genuinely happy to be working at Well Red. In conclusion Well Red is Well Excellent!

The environment in here is wonderful, it’s the perfect place to have coffee with a friend, read or study. The owners are extremely personable and always provide a welcoming smile and are willing to chat if you want! I order the same thing every time I come here and it always tastes the same, not many places can do that nowadays. Their baked goods are excellent, everything I’ve tried has been amazing. I frequent here probably 4-5 times a week and couldn’t rave about it more.

Knowing how cozy, welcoming, & delicious the original Auburn Well Red is, I was eager for WR Second Story to open. It's close enough for me to walk to, & it has not disappointed. I will caution any Northerners here that the inside temperature is kept chillier the hotter it is outside - which can be uncomfortable unless you bring layers. (That's also true for many other public inside spaces in the Deep South. )

Delicious coffee/ espresso drinks, and a great book selection. My wife loves the original Well Read location, and this additional location looks great! It is very open, and has plenty of seating with both indoor and outdoor patio areas. Check this place out if you ever get the chance!

Well Red Second Story hosted my company event and did a wonderful job! They generated a menu for us largely different than anything on their menu now and it was incredible! The staff was great and the facility was just right for our group of about 50. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience.
