They always have the nicest staff and the most delicious coffee ever. I love that they change flavors every month. Awesome place!
BEST COFFEE EXPERIENCE IN MY ENTIRE LIFETIMEOkay let me start from the beginning of time. I live approximately 3 minutes from a simple roast and have never stopped to get coffee until this past October 2020. I was told the prices were WAY to high and the lines were way to long. One day I decided to give it a chance and it blew my mind. The lines were very long about 6 cars ahead of me but my total wait time was less than 12 minutes. When I pulled up I told the barista ive never been here before and im not sure how it works. I gave them my order and she helped me sign up for the rewards program. It was about $4.75 for a large iced cold brew coffee with a few flavors in it. This coffee was phenomenal, and my addiction only grew from here. I love trying all of the different monthly flavors! My palette has definitely enhanced as I no longer desire Dunkin or Starbucks coffee, I long for something REAL and flavorful. Once you have a sip of this coffee you will notice the difference in quality compared to other coffee chains. I have and will continue to recommend this coffee to family and friends. Although, I do wish they opened at 545am Fridays so I could get my coffee before I travel to Syracuse for work !!!! :)5/5 ☆
Always great. Love the drinks
I go there almost every morning now before starting my commute to work and have no complaints. She staff are friendly and courteous. The coffee is delicious and I never have to wait too long. Lots of flavor selections to add to any drink and seasonal flavors too! There is something for everyone! My daughter loves to get a bottle of juice and my husband loves the Chai. Good job Simple Roast.
Love their coffee. I dont think I have had a smoother coffee than theirs. Tried their fireside this past week and it was wonderful and really tastes like sitting next to a campfire.
I’ve been going since the day it opened as a coffee shop. I recommends to everyone since then and nobody even know what it was. Now it’s the biggest talk of the town and the busiest place ever!!! Obsessed with it, I go 4 times a week at least. Iced coffee with a flavor in it is my go-to. They have an extremely wide variety of flavors so I am always trying something new and I’ve never had something I don’t like . Just Enough flavor to taste it but not overwhelmingly sweet. I will go there forever! Super friendly staff and I love that they have a punchcard so you get a free coffee after so many purchases. I stopped going to Dunkin’ Donuts, you should too!!!
Original: Good coffee but nothing crazy to write home about. Not sure of all the hype but people love it.Edit: I have tried the coffee again and it was very flavorful. My wife may be addicted to it, she looks forward to it everyday.Staff is always so friendly and helpful. A++I would recommend making an app which would replace the punch cards, and even show what the specials are. Maybe you could even order online and go to a pickup window or parking spot to speed things up.Lacks 5 stars because it is so popular there is often a wait.
Once you try Simple Roast coffee, you’ll be hooked! They have excellent coffee and even better service! Everyone there, owner included, is so friendly! I love the huge variety of flavors, and that they run specials each month, so I am always trying out new flavor combinations to start my morning! I’m so glad I found this gem!
For sure they have locally sourced coffee here. Ive been before and its definitely still coffee. There was 2 cars in each of the 2 lines and I advised my friend (he was driving) not to stop because there was a line. So 20 minutes later we had our coffee. And theres no doubt it tastes like coffee.If they were more conveniently located and 2-3x faster Id choose them over DD
Great local coffee and friendly staff. The coffee always taste fresh and they have new flavors all the time. Only issue is the lines can sometimes take A while - but the reason for that is the great product! Will likely bag a bag of whole beans next time I go.
Perfect cup of coffee everytime! Perfect temp too! You can actually drink it as soon as ordering. The ladies are always so friendly.
GOOD COFFEE!!! Its a tiny little green shack in the middle of a parking lot. Drive-thru only. But they really do have the best coffee! I only rated four stars because I wish two things: 1. They are a little expensive! But you also do get what you pay for and like I said they make great coffee! 2: the parking lot theyre located in is not exactly in the center of town. I wish they were closer to town!!! If they were Id be buying a whole lot more of their coffee!
Likely the best cup of coffee around the Auburn area, priced just a bit more than Dunkin, but worth it. I think the coffee is better, the roast is better and its brewed consistently great! Pick up the reward punch card too, for a free cup after your 10th purchase!
Super delicious latte, and I love the large variety of flavors that they offer. 👌
This is by far my favorite place to get a quick QUALITY cup of coffee. The baristas are always friendly and fast. I use any excuse to drive over from Mottville, even if it’s just to get the kids to take a quick nap while Mom gets an afternoon treat! Although, the kids have figured out the nice girls who give Mom coffee also have lollipops 😉👍. I highly recommend Simple Roast not only because of the impeccable service, but because of their delicious handcrafted brews! (If there happens to be a line it is worth the wait)
I tried the electric chai a few times and it was great! If you’re into additional flavors, definitely try the churro flavor. Highly recommend Simple Roast for great coffee or tea.
I get the light masterfully crafted roast, from -Simple Roast- at the COOP in Syracuse. Nothing else in this area even competes with the quality of brew this bean juices. Cheers.
My roommate and I make it a habit to stop and drink their coffee. Auburn doesnt have many places that serve good coffee. There are only 3 that Ive been to and Simple Roast is one of the best. Definitely a must to visit and try.
Absolutely love this place! Delicious drinks, great price point and packaging style. Staffs always friendly and helpful and Im so happy about the new hut ! Now its even closer! Kudos!
My new go-to coffe place. I dont drink gas station coffee or chain restaurant coffee so places are very limited in Auburn and surrounding areas. Their iced coffee is the best I have had in long time. Definitely worth the stop!!
Delicious fall flavors for coffees! I had one that had some sort of a maple & cinnamon mix and it was absolutely delicious! It was a cool place to visit while passing thru town.
Absolutely love this place, the employees are always genuine, their mocha lattes are delicious, Ive never had a bad experience there! Love supporting local businesses, even if its a little bit more expensive!
Always great service! Delicious beverages, love the creativity!!!
THE best place to get coffee with the best staff. I’ve been going here since the day they opened and have never once been disappointed in my drink or experience with the staff. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Delicious! Plus if the line is long they will come out and take orders to make things go faster! I hope they make this drink on their permanent menu its delicious!!!
Omg! Best smoothies!!!! My husband has fallen in love with their coffee as well. If youre ok with a wait depending on when you go, its well worth it!!!!!!!
Great tasting coffee and local business. Even if its on the pricer side, Id much rather give my money or cash tips to the people here than a chain.
I am not a coffee drinker, but their iced chai is delicious! Then waiting line was a bit long since you order and receive your drinks at the same window. My chai was worth the wait though.
I love this coffee and the service! I am a bit particular about my coffee and this is on the top of my list. Fair trade, local, and DELICIOUS. The drive thru is super convenient and everyone is very friendly. Support Local Business and give this place a try!
I love their products! The employees are always helpful when you have questions about menu items and always have a smile for the customers
Friendly, informative and cordial. Bought a very good Ethiopian ground coffee. Taste so good and well caffeinated
Amazing coffee and even more amazing baristas! Its our favorite place for coffee and super tasty lattes
Great place. Slow sometimes so be patient it’s worth it
What an awesome little place! Stopped here on a road trip and I would drive 7 hours back there just for the coffee! If you dont get coffee here, youre missing out big-time!
My home away from home. Obsessed is probably not even the word for what I am with this place, their coffee and smoothies, and of course Matt and all My Favortie Beautiful Baristas!!! I look forward to seeing everyones smiling faces when I pull up and love laughing with them. I love how personal it is and how they just get me. See? Told ya I was Obsessed! Love how they have every flavor you can imagine, even the ones you would never think of... which leads to tons of combinations... so if your little heart desires something, chances are they have it. Love you guys and I cant say enough great things about Simple Roast! (Hence the novel.) 😜
Amazing concept and coffee!!!!! Friendly service. If you are anywhere near auburn it is a must go if you love and appreciate coffee❤️
Best coffee shop around, hands down no freaking competition. Best coffees, most personable baristas and fair prices. Shop local yall, these beauties are the real deal!
Always amazing service and quality products.
Pretty slow the last time i was there
My only complaint is they dont have a location closer to my current place of work-- Fingers crossed the owner wants to expand into Elbridge soon!
Great service and great coffee. I love all the special flavors.
Freshly roasted, fair trade, organic coffee that doesnt cost too much! Ive always had quick and friendly service. This place is great.
Simple roast is simply amazing. One of the friendlest staff that I have come across. Service is quick and prompt and it is a frequent trip in my morning routine.
Forget Starbucks, this is the place. I get to shop locally and have delicious coffee. I only wish there were more windows so I could get my coffee faster =)
I go out of my way for this coffee. Try the cold brew, definitely worth the trip. The owner and employees are awesome people.
Convenient, great service, and delicious coffee. Cant imagine how to improve this place. We buy their beans to brew at home as well, so I guess were officially hooked.
The coffee here is delicious, the service is outstanding, the flavor is just enough to not hide the coffee, and the coffee, even the decaf, tastes fantastic.
Great local coffee company that supports other local businesses as well. The drinks at the hut are fantastic and service is always friendly
Went there for the first time today and I loved it! I will definitely be coming back!
Its like a drank Gods nectar straight from the teet. Truly satisfying aroma and a taste that truly gets me ready for lifes daily adventures. Would recommend.
I dont even like coffee, but I love their drinks. Its a drive thru though, so dont expect to sit at a table or anything.
Great latte! Note the store is drive-up with two sides (regarding all the google maps questions)
The best coffee around☕🖤
Consistently good coffee for an extremely fair price.

2020-12-19First time coming here and it was so good! Leagues better than Dunkin. If youre in Auburn skip the Dunkin drive thru and come here instead! The specialty drinks are great. I got the sugar cookie iced coffee with whipped cream, my friend got the peppermint bark iced coffee. I would love to come back and try a real cup of hot coffee as well.

2020-09-25Absolutely love Simple Roast! They have a perfect sized menu for the size of the drive-thru, and they always make drinks fresh.I also really appreciate their kindness and understanding. My parents pup, Gizmo, had cancer and was being put down earlier this month (the 3rd) and they kindly gave us an extra large puppacino for his last day. Despite being a super hard and upsetting time, they definitely helped ease some of the burden and made sure Gizmo knew he was dearly loved.

2018-07-23Only place in Auburn you can go for a good cup of coffee. Drive through only, they have two lanes (one on each side of the building). Their prices include taxes, so what you see is what you pay.Lines can get long, but thats to be expected for the only real coffee shop in town. Service is always fast even with a long line so its worth it.If you know that feeling when the first sip of coffee touches your soul you know Simple Roast.

2017-10-12Fun, fresh coffee at a great price! This is the black - catuccino. Like dark chocolate, they frequently top their drinks with fun things (cocoa powder on the top here). Friendly staff, quick drive thru lines, have Camerons donuts.

2020-09-19Coffee is always delicious. Staff is amazing. Beans are locally roasted. Drive up service is incredibly convenient. Love supporting local. Also want to give a shout out to one of the baristas who made my teeny daughter a custom drink on the spot. I just asked her to make something sweet and colorful and she made a delicious pink glittery strawberry thing!
