Sweet Auburn Curb Market


Isn't this downtown painted wall adorable?
Sometimes I enjoy pretending that I’m on vacation in my hometown and this morning was one of those days.
Do you ever have similar thoughts?

 I thought it would be fun to enjoy coffee in a real coffee shop.  We have lots of hotels near where I live so enjoying coffee in the hotel is always an option but I wanted to sit for a while, linger, read, smell the coffee, hear the grinder and enjoy a coffee shop atmosphere so I decided to drive downtown to visit the
 It’s embarrassing to admit that I’d not been before as the indoor market has been around since 1918.  In the shadows of the downtown is this great little market where you’ll find a fine coffee shop and lots, lots more.  
 There are places to buy fresh produce, fresh juices, meats, seafood, sweets, baked goods and lots of friendly people too. 
For folks living OTP (outside the perimeter) it might be inconvenient to drive downtown but for fun you might want to take one of the monthly tasting tours.  The Sweet Auburn Market houses some fantastic (and highly-rated) restaurants like Arepa Mia and Grindhouse Burgers.  I can’t wait to go back and enjoy some Sweet Auburn BBQ!!
