The Lemonade Trail: Tasting your way through Auburn-Opelika 

Start your trail at Toomer’s Corner, the heart of downtown Auburn and home to one of the city’s most cherished traditions. Toomer’s Lemonade is freshly squeezed and has been a favorite for generations of Auburn students, alumni, and visitors. Its sweet, tart flavor is more than just a summer refreshment. It’s part of what makes Auburn feel like Auburn.

While you’re at Toomer’s Drugs for their famous lemonade, don’t forget the Aubie Cookie. Created by Cakeitecture Bakery, this lemon-flavored treat is inspired by Toomer’s Lemonade and decorated with Auburn spirit. It’s only available at Toomer’s, making it a fun and flavorful bonus stop along the trail.

Lemon pie lovers, this one’s for you. Lucy’s in Auburn serves up a Three-Day Lemon Meringue Ice Cream Pie that’s cool, creamy, and full of flavor.

It’s one more reason Lucy’s continues to be one of Auburn’s top dining spots.
