Saxbys Coffee

Saxbys are reasonable, nice and comfortable coffee shops! The red velvet muffins are soooooo delicious. Definitely my cheat snacks. Try their sandwiches for a quick bite!!! The only thing with this location is that some of the small round tables are wobbly and they should have more outlets by the wall. Other than that I love coming here to study, read or people watch.

This beats Starbucks by a million. Delicious drinks and food, and the atmosphere is nice and quiet. The Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte is absolutely amazing! First time here, and definitely not my last. Can’t wait to come back…

Great coffee, great food, and great staff for the most part. Now how am I going to fill the rest of this review so it doesn’t post as a tip? It’s a coffee shop, there isn’t much to review. Words words more words. Finally hit the word count!!! Try the cold brew! Get a milk and honey coldbrew but ask for less honey as they come out a little sweet.

I never used to be a huge fan of Saxby’s, but lately it’s been growing on me. I live right down the street so it’s often the closest and most convenient spot to grab a cup of joe or buckle down and study. The café itself is really spacious with a lot of seating, and a variety of types of seating from window benches to small tables to large desk-​like tables. It’s never too crowded and the music level is always respectful. I usually opt for a classic black coffee, either iced or hot, and it gets the job done! Overall a solid coffee joint with none of the hipster-​ness or fancy bells and whistles.

Came here early in the morning to grab a coffee. I got the kit Kat and a French toast muffin. The lady who took our order was kind of rude and seemed annoyed. The coffee was great. The French toast muffin was nice and moist and delicious. Would have gave 4 stars if the staff was friendlier.

Absolutely the worst red velvet cupcake I’ve ever had. Dry, tasteless and the cream cheese was crumbly and sour. When I informed the batista she made no effort to make it right. No offer for a refund, no gift card for future use to this location or exchange for a different pastry. Never again.

They suckered me in after 3 rounds of free cold brew during the Summer (was free all day on Fridays during the Summer). But if you do need a great place to work remotely, this location has tons of seating options, outlets and stays relatively quiet (bring headphones just in case). Prices are pretty decent too and the staff is very nice.

I wouldn’t normally leave a review, but the music choice at this location was incredible. It was enjoyable to sit here and get work done to music that wasn’t so loud and irritating. It was a perfect place to get work done on a Saturday. I’ve never ordered food at Saxby’s before and I have to say the Greek salad was so fresh, and made right in front of me. Usually other coffee chains would be selling pre packaged goods. I’ll be back!

Any Saxbys Coffee location I have ever been to has great service, friendly baristas and a relaxing atmosphere. Their lattes are incomparable, way better quality than Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. I usually make my morning coffee run through Starbucks since it is closer to my office, but I am willing to walk out of the way for Saxbys!

Compared to other Saxby’s locations in Philly, I actually like this one a lot! It is extremely spacious and has cute hanging lights. There are a lot of seating options: seating outside, stool seats along the walls by the windows, table seating at little round tables, seating at a larger table in case you need to spread out books and papers, and also more comfy couch seats. There is also a solid number of electric outlets along the walls and free wifi (yay!).
The ambiance is warm, comfortable and very ideal for studying or getting work done. This would also be a good spot for meeting up with people– good music selection that is not too loud. The atmosphere is quiet and more relaxing, so you can be heard when talking in a normal tone.
I can’t speak on the drinks or food items, since I only got a hot tea. But I’m assuming that the coffee here would taste like it would at any other Saxby’s location. Perhaps due to being a little further away from the heart of the city, this coffee shop isn’t as crowded as many others (not complaining though!). I would highly consider coming back here if I ever need a quiet coffee joint to get work done at.

I dig this Saxbys location because it’s close to PHIT where I go to shows and take classes so it’s convenient for me and the staff are generally super friendly. It’s not the best coffee i’ve had in the city, but it’s a big shop with plenty of seating which is sometimes nice. A lot of the «better» coffee shops are kinda tiny and cramped and always full so it’s a relief to actually find a coffee shop with somewhere to sit and read.
That being said, I’m not disappointed in the coffee at all. It’s pretty good. And they have a pretty good selection of breakfast sandwiches, lunch, and smoothies to choose from if you’re longing for something more substantial. Their cookies like amaze but I always tell myself no cause I gotta watch what I’m eating.

I would skip anything with sugar in it or add it on your own because they put a lot in. I ordered the milk and honey cold brew and it tasted like half the cup was filled with honey. It was practically inedible because it was so sweet, but for $ 5 I felt like I had to drink it. There are a lot of seats and outlets so the place is good for studying.

Weird vibe, stuffy air inside, but one of the best lattes I’ve had in Philly. Top notch quality coffee

Completely understaffed. It took over 15 minutes to make a simple bagel sandwich which I ordered before any sort of rush. The individual who was managing the kitchen orders was completely unprofessional, only rushed into the kitchen when she had about 6 orders to make and basically cut the time that I wanted to use in the coffee shop to relax a bit before work. This is just unacceptable, particularly because I enjoy Saxby’s coffee and vibe. They should seriously consider hiring individuals that understand that time (particularly in the morning rush) is precious.

I came here initially at the advice of a friend. I love the relaxed ambiance and the everything bagels with cream cheese and orange juice are excellent! Most of the staff are friendly and the music is usually pretty good. The cashiers move the line rather quickly and the price is fair. I’ll be back!

Dirty and understaffed are two things you don’t want to associate with a coffeeshop.
Unfortunately, that’s what I’ve come to associate this Saxby’s location with after repeated long waits and the ubiquitous stuff strewn about with flies. I know it’s a coffeeshop that gets busy, but I get the impression that there isn’t any cleaning during the days for whatever reason. Also, watch out in the restrooms – the toilet paper may be out.
It’s a fine location and the coffee/​pastries are acceptable, but there are better options not too far away.

Cons:
–they could work on a better recipe for their Chai Lattes. I’m not asking for it to be authentic but gees, could they at least try to make it taste close to what it’s supposed to taste like? Not a poor combination of cinnamon, hot chocolate, and some odd spice. This does not make a Chai.
Pros:
–they let you walk in with your dog to order.
–there are plenty of tables and spaces to study with people
–the place is always smelling great of toasted bagels and other breakfast-​y aromas. If you stay there longer than 5 minutes, expect to be smelling like that for the rest of the day because even your clothes drink it in.

This is a nice coffee shop that’s more spacious than it looks at first glance. I love that they have outside tables, and I spent one day there studying for hours.
If you use Levelup, they have a credit, so if you go there for a coffee it’s basically free. That was a pleasant surprise! The coffee was good enough to drink black, which means pretty good by my standards but nothing special. I’m not sure if I’ll be back anytime soon, but now I know it’s a good alternative if some of the nearby coffee shops I frequent are packed.

Great place! Not only is this a great spot to study, wind down, or grab a bite, it’s also where my YouTube filmmaking got it’s start in Philly.
Some of my most favorite videos from 2013 on my channel were filmed with permission from the store workers.
Also, this location is very close to the park in Rittenhouse Square. I would often stop by here after filming in Rittenhouse.
Great vibes!

Decent coffee in a very convenient location, Saxby’s always provide good brew with a great smile. Although I prefer coffee from a few other nearby joints ie la columbe, etc, this place is definitely one step up from Starbucks. They have good outdoor seating on a nice corner for people watching!
I order coffee black (like my soul) so I’m not really drawn in to their flavors. Iced coffee is decent, but if you like flavored coffee this place had you covered!
