“ Thanks to the best employee ever Brayden. He provided sweet, exceptional, and quick service. He should get a promotion! ”
“ Barista Naayab Hasan is great. She is very helpful and makes amazing coffees. If you go to Saxby’s only order from Naayab Hasan ”
“ Cute cafe and good place to grab a coffee while studying! Got an iced coffee and a buffalo grilled cheese. Both items met my expectations. Reasonably priced. The barista, Heidi, was super helpful and attentive. She suggested her favorite drinks and food items on the menu, and her recommendations did not disappoint! The order came out in a timely manner so there was minimal wait time. I will definitely be returning! ”
“ Quick service and pretty decent selection. No complaints at all! ”
“ I personally recommend the matcha latte here; it's even better than Starbucks! If you like your drinks a bit more bitter and milkier, you'll love it. ”
“ Honestly, I went to Saxby before the renovation and it was hard to read the menu and very dark. NOW it is very bright and easy to understand. I got a cold brew coffee with sweet mint and it was really good. I don’t know what they use but it’s so good. I like mint flavor, but most places give you peppermint I know it’s weird, but there’s a difference. Also, the French muffin was great it’s reasonably sized and it was very fluffy. ”
“ I love this coffee shop! Dani, Mano, & Joshith were awesome! Will come back when they open up next semester! ”
“ I know a lot of people's reviews talk smack on Saxby's but I've been going here almost 3x a week for over a month and honestly? It's great, the service is always good. Im always greeted w a smile and they get my food out quickly and it's tasty too! I love the double bacon grilled cheese, although the 3 cheese one is excellent too. I would definitely reccomend this place to any student who needs a quick cuppa and snack (and doesn't wanna wait in the obnoxiously long Starbys line). First floor of the library, check it out! ”
