Specialty coffee roaster and coffee shop in Princeton, West Virginia, roasting in house since 2023, with a second cafe in downtown Bluefield and a mobile coffee cart for events.
An aubade is a morning love song or poem performed at dawn, and Aubade Coffee in Princeton, West Virginia, takes its name from that idea: a warm, welcoming space where the community gathers to start the day. Owner David Coburn and his team began roasting in 2023 out of a shared love of coffee, first for friends, and set out to bring third-wave specialty coffee to their hometown in Southern West Virginia. The owners trained through SCA coursework and at the Accademia del Caffè Espresso in Florence, Italy. Their modern roasting builds each profile around clarity, sweetness and the coffee's own character, and the lineup leans on micro lots that change as coffees come and go. Syrups are made in house with pure cane sugar and filtered water. Alongside the Princeton shop and a second cafe in downtown Bluefield, Aubade roasts for wholesale partners, offers barista training and brings its mobile coffee cart to events.
