Arrived early afternoon. Good coffee. Real cream. But coffee not as hot. Was brewed and left in carafe since morning?Standard coffee shop menu items. Coworking vibe with lots of space to study and chill; patio seating. Clean, stocked restrooms.Easy parking. 70s and 80s music station... seems that's the target demographic?

Cute little coffee bar tucked inside of a brewery. Lots of flavor options as well as milk alternatives. Great service and lots of free street parking close nearby. The only thing is it was difficult to find! I had no idea it was inside of another business so it took awhile to figure that out. Would be good to mention that somewhere online. Definitely worth it though as they have a good variety of options. Love that they open at 7am makes it an easy quick stop before work!

I love that we have a coffee shop downtown Auburn Hills now that I can walk to. We needed a place like this and it was smart for the brewery to use this space during the day as a coffe shop. I came on opening day and have been in several times since. They do a nice job with their drinks. I enjoy their cold brew and hot lattes. If you like flavors they have a million to choose from as well as non- dairy milk options. I'd love to see them have more food options and some gluten free options as well.

A little hidden gem. If I was ever needing a coffee shop to work in I would choose this one. It's quiet and very spacious

I've been to lots of coffee shops, and worked as a barista at lots of coffee shops. My standards may be higher than most, but here is my review. Bitter espresso, and the employee was not well trained in pouring lattes (no latte art, many large bubbles). Their syrup flavors are of a relatively quality brand, but that doesn't make up for poor espresso/latte equipment and technique. Employee wasn't rude, but did not exude an attitude of care or positivity. Again, maybe some people don't care so much about their customer service at a coffee shop, but coffee shops are more of a delicacy, you don't NEED a little treat and a latte. The customer service should reflect that they are serving positive "treat yourself" goods. Having a coffee shop in a bar is a clever business idea, but it doesn't hold up to the atmosphere of other coffee shops. It really does feel like you're sitting in a bar/restaurant in the middle of the day. Free parking. If you're looking for another location to get your black coffee and head out the door, this is great, but as a quality coffee shop, less so.

Layover is my favorite spot on days I work remotely. Hottest joint in downtown Auburn Hills. They have an extensive menu of coffee and espresso drinks, and all their beans are sourced from Michigan roasters. Lots of table space with charging ports and fast, free wifi. They also serve bagels, pastries, and pre-made sandwiches. The coffee bar is located next to the brewery, so I'd be lying if I said I didn't end my work day with a beer or two. Highly recommend. Delicious local coffee, excellent service, and a great environment to relax, socialize, or get a bit of work done.

First of all, it's cleverly hidden in the same space as the brewery. Don't pass it by.Friendly! With really good coffee and locally made baked things. Last second impulse purchase of the chocolate fry cake was a great decision!

This place is a much needed and positive addition to downtown Auburn Hills. Staff is super friendly, and coffee & pastries are good. They serve Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Co. coffee, which I'm a fan of. LOVE the outdoor patio out front during warmer months. Makes for a nice little hangout spot to start your day. Only areas I'd appreciate seeing some improvement in are in the interior design (it's a basic white box - feels too much like a hotel conference room. Would benefit from some cozier vibes), and consistency in stocking of necessary packaging. They seem to often have trouble with shortages in bags, cups, lids, etc. Skip the big chains and support this local business! They're working to activate space in down Auburn Hills, which is awesome. I appreciate this good-hearted, quality, local joint!

First time visited was a week ago. The service was good, and the employee was friendly and accommodating. I like strong coffee and while they had not made that kind yet the server put on a batch. The coffee was the one named Corktown. My wife and I plan on coming back this Saturday morning. This is a local gem, so much better than corporate big brand coffe places. Sometimes you just want a place to relax and enjoy your coffee away from home. This is the place.
