Located in the vibrant Business Building at Penn State University, Saxbys Penn State University stands out as a dynamic café where students, faculty, and visitors alike can refuel with craft coffee and invigorating drinks. This cozy spot isn’t just about grabbing a quick caffeine fix; it’s about the experience, the ambiance, and the flavors that bring people together.

Step inside and you'll be captivated by the cheerful chatter of students working on group projects amid the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The warm, communal atmosphere is accentuated by friendly baristas eager to serve up the perfect drink while fostering a sense of community on campus.

At Saxbys, the espresso drinks are what set the stage for a memorable visit. The star player here is undoubtedly the GoGetter Espresso, a rich blend that delights the palate with notes of black tea, honey, and burnt caramel—all sourced with care from Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, and Ethiopia. This drink is not just coffee; it’s an experience, meant to energize you while you tackle that next assignment or meet up with friends.

If you’re in the mood for something a bit different, the Fit Frolatte! offers a unique appeal, beautifully combining indulgence and nutrition. It’s a perfect post-workout treat featuring cold brew, oat milk, banana, and 22 grams of plant-based protein—all with only 9 grams of sugar. Feel the energy surge as you sip on this delight, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious students.

For those who enjoy a touch of sweetness, the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte is a must-try! The vibrant mix of fresh strawberries with smooth matcha creates a refreshing treat that dances on your taste buds. Customers are raving about it, with one regular, Linda Katstra, mentioning how delightful her experience was, especially pairs with the scrumptious green grilled cheese sandwich.

As you sit back and enjoy your meal, you might also find yourself swaying to the upbeat vibes as Saxbys occasionally plays the latest tracks, creating a lively atmosphere similar to a concert. Grant Walker, another enthusiastic customer, highlighted their Insane Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese, showing that Saxbys not only serves extraordinary drinks but also memorable comfort food that leaves you wanting more.

In summary, Saxbys Penn State University is more than just a café; it’s a gathering place where flavors come alive, friendships are forged, and productivity flows. Whether you need a robust coffee to kickstart your day or a nutritious yet indulgent drink to enjoy between classes, Saxbys is your perfect pit stop on campus.

Insane Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese. Occasionally (but not often enough) they blast my girl Glo Rilla. I have floor tickets to her concert at Penn State in the BJC and I can't wait. Day of the tickets opening I had four devices, refresh button working overtime, fingers moving like I performing surgery to get in the queue as soon as they opened. I'm pretty sure I was first in the waitlist (somehow) and I got some for me and my crew. Staff is pretty nice too

The MatéSpritz made my eyebrows shoot up! It was like drinking Smarties until I realized I needed to mix it with my tea. Delicious! The students working are amazing and efficient and very friendly. The green grilled cheese rocks!
