Located at 150 North Ross Street across from Auburn’s municipal complex is where coffee lovers will find the historic, 111 year old, wrap-around porch home that has been professionally renovated into a simple establishment with traditional charm and a contemporary flair.
Toni Holt, owner of Ross House Coffee & Roastery, reached out to the property owner, Stephen Benson, whose mother used to live in the house. Holt had heard heard about a social media campaign by some current and former Auburn University students to “#SaveTheRossHouse”. Some of these students were even former residences at the house while attending school and did not want to see the house torn down. Holt and Benson were both supportive of the charming, but aging home, being transformed into a unique, locally owned coffee shop and roastery.
