Saxbys Coffee

The bf said «Can you get me a café Vienna with soy and sugar-​free syrup?» I spent 2 min looking for that drink on the menu thinking my bf is imagining things. But thanks to the knowledgeable staff at Saxbys, they know exactly what I was talking about. Super impressed with that. They even recommended something yummy for me to try as well (Chocolate and banana mocha). The location is far from where I live but it would be a good place to chill on a Saturday. They close on Sundays.

I live in the apartment complex behind Saxbys and just walked past the shop, and there are signs saying they are now closed for business after 7 years of service! My husband and I are so so bummed! The employees here were always so friendly and great, coffee and snacks were awesome, and it’s a great place to sit and work. We will really really miss this place!!!

I feel like I’ve cheated on Starbucks.
I went here with a friend on a cold day because I wanted to try it. My guilt grew as I noticed a forlorn Starbucks cup discarded at the Saxbys parking lot. But I love discovering little coffee shops so here we go.
I ordered the British Islander which is an ice blended drink with macadamia nut, white chocolate and english toffee butterscotch and white chocolate. Does that not sound absolutely delicious? Candy in a cup.
So there’s a fireplace. Every coffee place should have one. After my friend and I strategically sat near the fireplace chairs, waiting patiently for the people to leave, they left and we planted ourselves in front of the fireplace and didn’t move for 3 hours.
I wish there were more locations. I definitely want to go back and try their other drinks.

I went here to get a frozen coffee and was hoping it would be awesome. All I got was a glorified milkshake — I could have gone down the street to the Golden Arches if I wanted that. Had no coffee taste whatsoever — And at 1180 calories — shoot my fat behind now:{

Let me start off by saying I am not a coffee drinker (except if it’s turkish coffee or my mom’s) so I can’t speak to the coffee. But what I do know is they have a great Chai Latte.
— Service: I usually do the drive thru and they are courteous and quick.
— Inside: Small but cozy. Plenty of seating with comfy chairs and tables. No loud obnoxious music or pretentious coffee house tunes.
— Outside: A few tables and chairs to sit outside if you wish. Good place to take your phone call so you don’t disturb the others inside
— Restrooms: clean and well stocked
— Food: I have only had the cranberry scone and it was great. Fresh and flavorful. Limited offerings.
— Hours: M-​F: 6am-​7pm, Sat: 8am-​4pm, and closed on Sun. I wish they were open on Sunday’s as I often find myself in their drive thru waiting for them to answer me then realize oops it’s Sun and they are closed.
— Prices: Decent and a little less than Starbucks
— Chai Latte: Always super hot (thank you), and smells like vanilla/​cinnamon/​spicy goodness. Does not taste watered down or chemically. Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the mix and texture can be a little chalky but still drinkable.
— Other: I wish they had some sort of rewards card or similar cause I would be racking up lots of free drinks for sure

What a great place to study AND to have great coffee. The staff is great, the menu is even better, and the atmosphere is very cozy. There are cushioned seats, sofas, and a fireplace for ppl to catch up with others or the news. I highly recommend this place for people who want a coffee selection that doesn’t all taste the same.

SPICY Cinnamon Thai tea latte, light ice, extra shot of expresso, skim milk = HELLO… good morning with a smile. (Not a snarl)
Drive thru… check
fireplace…check
cheaper than starbux… check
Lenny’s sandwich shop right next doors… check check

Closed on Sundays. Wish I would have known. Back to my regular study coffee shop in the area, Dunn Bros.

So a guy walks into a Saxby’s… because Starbucks was overcrowded with hipsters who drank their coffee before it was cool. HA!
Anyway, this Saxby’s is awesome. It’s almost an auto-​four star review for me if you have a fireplace WITH comfy seating next to it! I mean, every coffee shop has free wi-​fi now, but a fireplace and a comfy place to sit while using your free wi-​fi? Heck yes.
On top of that, the service here was fantastic. They were super helpful in translating my Starbucks lingo into the real world lingo. And the drinks weren’t half bad either. To go with the theme, I had a s’mores latte… OhmyGEEZUS! My mouth just coffee-​gasmed.
So the reason it’s not a 5 star review is that it’s unfortunately a chain, so the décor isn’t personal, no live music, no art on the walls, that kind of thing. And they have a drive-​thru, so that cheapens the experience a bit.
But overall? Not a bad place to go get some work done!

Saxbys is always clean, friendly and fun. I love the coffee

Homier than Starbucks — gotta love that fireplace. Broader drink selection. Free WiFi, friendly staff — but the British Islander I got was just alright. A tad too sweet and tasted somewhat 7−11ish. Hope I could try their other drinks, but first they have to open a store in SoCal!

Saxby’s automatically gets three stars because it’s not Starbucks. It has the most extensive latte menu I’ve ever seen. They do crazy combinations– chocolate banana, cinnamon chocolate, toffee vanilla, etc etc. I don’t think I’ll ever drink them all. They have some yummy pastries and a drive through. It’s priced comparably to Starbuck’s but their beans are definitely yummier. They also have a really nice interior for you to sit and chill. Next door is Meringue Bakery where you can purchase some pretty delish cupcakes as well. BUT they are not open Sundays. Bummer.

Saxbys is a great alternative to Starbucks, but is every bit just as expensive so don’t expect to save any by choosing this spot. They have an extensive menu of specialty drinks and offer low-​calorie, non-​fat, and sugarfree options. They have a food cooler with breakfast items that look great!
I go to this place often because it’s close to home AND they have a drive-​through where you don’t have to wait 20 minutes. I’m a fan!

Tasty drinks and great service! They don’t give you that overly zealous, extremely annoying, fake peppiness that’s so sweet that you get diabetes service you get at other large corporately owned coffee shops. They just keep it real and normal which is noticeable and very refreshing!
A great alternative to Starbucks! Altho their hours kinda stink. They do have a drive-​thru there at least.
Def try their giant cookies and have em warm it up for ya! SO GOOD! :D

Met a study buddy here, upon her request, I’m more of a Starbux kinda girl. But i’m glad i agreed.
Tried the mango chai latte, DELISH!
BTW: my study buddy has a refillable cup so drinks are cheaper.
Great atmosphere & roomy, great friendly service & super close to Brookhaven.

This is probably my favorite drink stop. I love all of the combinations they have and how they are all listed on the menu unlike some popular places where you have to guess if they make it. They are fair price. Their staff is always super friendly.

I was meeting someone for coffee and google mapped the area, looking for something near the client site but not the usual (ie Starbucks, Corner Bakery) suspects. Saxby’s popped up and the website was cute, so I chose it based solely on proximity and image.
It was easy to find, anchoring one end of a little strip mall, next to a Lennys Subs and a cupcake shop (mmmm). Upon entry, I was greeted by a very friendly guy, who asked if I was there to meet Lane (?). No, I said — «I’m here to meet Mike, seen him around?» I joked.
I said I had already had a coffee and needed a drink for the meeting but didnt want to walk out and lift a small SUV from caffeine overload, so he suggested an iced latte. I paid the guy a couple bucks and voila’, my drink appeared pretty quickly. Overall everyone was super friendly, the choices were what you’d expect and the place is roomy enough and plenty bright from all the windows.
A very nice alternative to the same ol same ol, so if you’re like me and have several meetings a day and need a change of scenery, I highly recommend. That being said, I believe it’s still a chain, so ideally you’d venture to the local coffee houses, although sometimes places like Crooked Tree and Murray Street Coffee Shop are just not the ticket when you’re meeting a buttoned up executive. (hard to get out of your bean bag chair in a skirt, anyway!)

Yahoo, an un-​Starbucks coffee house in a nice strip shopping center.
Comfortable décor and seating, and a great looking menu with lots of choices.
Friendly customer service on my two visits.
Lastly, free Wifi!

During this time of year Saxybs has the eggnog chai latte and it will get your taste buds dancin’. For a cold drink, I always go for the british islander frolatte. It’s a latte with a mix of white chocolate, macadamia nut, and English toffee flavors blended with ice.
The coffee shop has glass walls with bar tables and stools running along one side of the wall so it gets a nice exposure to the natural light. Great location and the staff is very helpful.

Honestly, I feel inclined to give Saxby’s an extra star simply because the cup isn’t white and green (ahem). They have a nice variety of drinks, and their drive-​thru is 1. way more convenient for my commute than Starbucks and 2. has a much shorter line. The flavor of the coffee is also quite good — pretty much on par with other cafes.
Don’t get me wrong, a venti non-​fat half-​caff no-​whip vanilla latte or green tea frappucino will always have its place, but I definitely choose Saxby’s to cure my weekday case of the Monday’s. Throw in that they have a reward card that gives you one free cup for every 10 you buy, and it’s icing on the cake (or should I go for ultra cheesy and say foam on the latte?).
