Toomers Coffee Roasters | Low Acid Coffee | Family Owned since 2004

Toomers has been roasting low-acid coffee in Opelika since 2004, and the retail front shows the priorities. A tiny space attached to a larger roasting facility, no indoor seating, two small outdoor tables, and a counter where Dan and Kaden get visitors oriented to Opelika and Auburn. The service is efficient and kind. The food side is a small homemade bakery selection, and a loose tea selection sits alongside the coffee.

The room is the room. It is built for picking up bags and having a short conversation, not for a long stay. Two outdoor tables are the entirety of the seating, which means the weather decides whether you sit. The smell from the roasting facility next door is the best feature of the patio, and it costs nothing.

Low-acid is the lane. The Auburn City Blend is the home-team bag and the order that comes up most often as the daily pick. The Blueberry Pancake blend is the flavored option that holds up better than flavored coffee usually does, the Southern Pecan is the other one to grab, and the keto coffee gets called out by name for anyone who wants the lower-carb cup with butter or oil built in. The whole lineup is roasted in small batches, which is a real claim here rather than a label.

Who this suits: Auburn-area visitors who want a quick stop for beans and a chat with the owners, low-acid drinkers who have given up on brighter washed coffees because their stomach lost the argument, and mail-order regulars who want a small-batch bag shipped to the door. The two outdoor tables make it the wrong place to set up a laptop or wait out a thunderstorm, and if it is raining the visit collapses to a counter exchange. Walk up, take the bag, talk to Dan or Kaden about what is good in town that weekend, and go. Twenty-plus years in, the small-batch claim is earned.
