Nice coffee shop in close proximity to LeHigh University in the Southside of Bethlehem. The baristas were friendly and it was a relaxed atmosphere with students and locals. The green tea was very good, and although it was freezing outside, I always lean to an iced beverage. We also got the Chai latte which was very tasty and very spice forward. Although we didn't partake, the pastries and cake looked very nice and we saw multiple people order them. read more

Saxbys - Green Iced Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Coffee and place to take a break in the campus. Open till 13.00 and Coffee was smooth and ay very well prepared temp. read more

When I was a student at Lehigh, I came here all the time for coffee because it was across the street from campus and it was a nice place to work sometimes. The staff was always nice and they worked quickly but the coffee wasn't great. I would always order an iced mocha and it came out mostly tasting like milk, and some of their other products were just ok too. read more

I'm glad that the latte I got with oat milk tasted perfect. However this is my first visit so I can't attest to what others say about drink inconsistency. It's a good place to study with your laptop. Good seating without things being so crowded to worry too much about getting your belongings stolen. I will come here again but they did close an hour early today, a Sunday, at 4 pm which is a shame because I chose to come here specifically to study later. I wish coffee shops in this area were open til 9 or 10 pm. It's not like I'm going to study at a bar. read more

Great service at this saxby's! I've been here twice now and my order always come out fast even when it's a bit busy! I really like the cold brew here especially the milk and honey selection. I also got to try the vegetarian breakfast sandwich which was very different than anything I've had before! read more

Never follow their hours. Some days they are open the posted hours and some days they are not. It's disappointing to show up expecting them to be open and no one is in there read more

great service, amazing coffee! Fast and enjoyable! Staff was extremely helpful and made phenomenal drinks for my friends and I. Will definitely visit again. read more

I check the rating before I come, but I was like I should give it a try anyway. But Yea it's pretty bad~ One of the worst I been to yet. I got a bottle of "kombucha" drink, it was expired! And their "chai tea latte" really bad. I don't even know what to comment on it. read more

I may be a bit harsh on Saxby's Coffee as I am a bit of a coffee snob but simply put, they don't know their coffee well enough and they don't do a good job with what they have. I ordered one of their cold brews and it just tasted like a watered down mess. They clearly did not have the ratio of ground to water correct or simply did not let it steep for long enough. Also, the barista asked if i wanted room for milk and I said no. However, he left room for milk. I thought he may have misheard me but the coffee was labeled for no room. Also, I had a latte and the espresso shot was just not pulled correctly. No flavor came through at all and it tasted just like a warm milk cup. Really disappointing I must say. One star up for the cleanliness. Great seating arrangement and a cool decor spot. Nevertheless, coffee options are limited in the area and if you don't want the Starbucks brewed coffee in the bookstore, this is your only real option outside the gas station coffee or Dunkin. read more

It isn't that good as people make it out to be. They are very inconsistent when it comes to the quality of their drinks. It all depends on what workers are working and if they are in the mood to provide quality service. Sometimes I am very satisfied with my drinks, other days I feel like I am getting coffee from a 7-Eleven. Got a cold brew this morning and it is probably 80% milk. I just think they should be more consistent especially with the prices on their drinks. Also, they need to learn to shake their milk so the coffees don't look like they poured spoiled milk in their drinks. read more

I liked this place! The coffee was good. The environment is perfect for chatting or working, and there's plenty of seating. The music isn't super loud like it is in some coffee shops. The lady working there was polite and accommodating. I'm from out if town, but when I'm here I'll be back! read more

Meh, I didn't try the coffee, but I'm sure I'll be back with a more in-depth review of Saxbys' offerings. I had a muffin. I'm not completely sure which kind of muffin since two of the (very friendly) baristas said it could have been one of several flavors. The muffin itself was gigantic, think softball sized. I believe it was in the $2 range. Perfect for kids running here before or after class. It was okay, I wasn't blown away. I've had better and worse muffins. Very reasonable prices, I'll be back to check out the coffee. read more

I usually get their cold brew, which is alright (I've definitely have had better but it's one of the better places to get coffee on campus), but recently I've been trying out their lattes. I got an iced hazelnut latte today with half-and-half and it literally was borderline white in color. The barista put so much cream in it and it was so cloyingly sweet. The coffee itself also didn't taste right, it had a slightly "smoke-y" flavor? I feel as in terms of their specialty drinks, they're never consistent amongst the baristas or they simply do not care enough. Also I'm not a huge fan of how early Saxby's closes during the summer read more

I've always had a good experience at this Saxby's. Their cold brew is great, and their specialty drinks are good as well. It's a relaxing atmosphere if you'd like to get work done, but it definitely gets busy and has long lines during peak hours. read more

it is an "ok" coffee shop. I had high expectation before I walked in to this coffee shop. However, it is not that great as my friends talked about. I have tried their latte. P.S. the place was extreamly cold that I couldnt stay inside more than 5 minutes. read more

Saxby's has little tables and music is too loud, people speaking loud. I don't want to study here because I like to study in quiet environment, but I like the decor.  Staff has good attitude, although the barista did not smile, he speaks friendly and detailed ask about your coffee. I drink iced green tea here, this is good drink, but is a little bitter. It's temperature just ok.  I think here is good coffee shop, if you want with your friends chat, you can come here, but you want to study here, I think maybe is little loud. read more

Went to Saxbys with an entertainment coupon purchased with my Verizon rewards and the manager did not honor it. He claimed he couldn't scan it. I asked that he call the number on the coupon on how to use and he said he could not and would not. Why advertise in the entertainment book if you are not going to honor it? Was very rude to us and really embarrassed us, as if we were doing something wrong. So we cancelled our order for 3 lunches and drinks and walked out. It seems they don't want the business and we will never get coffee from them again. There are many other coffee shops in the area! Imagine so close to a major university (Lehigh) and do not have the latest technology!! read more

The coffee here is nothing special. The 20 minute wait to get it was unacceptable for 11:00. How did this become a chain coffe shop? Trendy music and a hipster staff? I can brew better coffee in my bathroom sink. read more

Come here if you want something specific here, like a Kookie Monster drink that they specifically sell... or if you're desperately in need of a coffee. I've been here many times, and at first glance is a nice college cafe; which it is if you look at it in a different perspective. It's in the center of a college campus and is full of nice college students. Yet, the service here is off. 8 times out of 10 the service here is from a level of not good to down right terrible. I've order an upside down caramel macchiato here before and got the question asked of, "What do you mean upside down?" ... Really guys, you're baristas and you're asking me what upside down means? Not only that, but plenty of times I've come in here and the have gotten very dirty looks from the cashier. Can you at least smile? Pretend you like working there? Do something that doesn't seem like all you want to do is get the hell out? It brings a very negative atmosphere to the place that prevented me from coming back quite a few times. Another issue here is what each employee comes to know. It seems to be different between each employee as I've always gotten the Kookie Monster when I go there and a few times I was just given a coffee blended drink rather than the Kookie Monster. I've also asked for whipped cream multiple times when coming here and several times they ignore the request and not give me any. When I ask sometimes they seem like it's a problem. Lastly, the other day I was here with my boyfriend and it was somewhat busy. I ordered the Kookie Monster drink and waited for my drink for about 10 minutes, not exaggerating the time. We watched countless of other customers who were ahead and behind us when they ordered their drinks and their drinks were made. When I finally said something, thinking they may have just forgotten to put a cup in line for my drink, they forgot about it, even though it was sitting on the counter by the blenders the whole time. After waiting all that time, there was no "Thank you for your time" or "Sorry for the wait" or anything... As you may know after reading this review, I take my Kookie Monster drink seriously, and if I don't know whether or not they'll make it right when I come in to buy a drink, it pisses me off. There are so many other local coffee shops in the Bethlehem area, I would recommend going to all of them before going to this one if you want decent service. read more

I wish there is an option to give zero stars... Saxbys appears to be a friendly college cafe, do not be fooled. If their overpriced items that are loaded with sugar do not deter you than their unfriendly staff and policies should! Their staff is unfriendly, shooting dirty looks right and left. I simply entered this mockery of a coffee shop to study for a couple of hours before the library opened, and I was then forced to pour out and put away my non-Saxbys coffee. Quite a scene this created. I regret ever stepping foot into this establishment! If you want a pleasant cup of joe then I would suggest you go to Dunkin', Starbucks, or even Johnny's read more

Worst customer service! Employees didn't crack a smile, they were rude, and you couldn't hear what they were saying. Too bad because the food and drinks are good. read more

Service is so much better now. No more cold faces or mean looking. Menu is simpler I don't need to stand in front of it thinking what to get for 5 mins lol. Their latte is really good, with dense smooth milk foam, love their espresso, too! read more

The brewed coffee and the espresso drinks here are consistently above average and are far far better than the other coffee options on this side of the river (within reasonable walking distance of Lehigh). Yes the service isn't stellar but it's on par with the rest of the neighborhood. So it is what it is when you're in that area. If I have to choose between: 1. "Get terrible service, wait a long time, pay a lot, and have mediocre coffee and regret the experience" OR 2. "Go to Saxbys, get mediocre service, wait a long time, pay a lot, and have better than average coffee" Three stars for service. Four stars for the coffee. And four stars for having a reasonable environment without obnoxious decor to sit and enjoy my coffee. read more

This place is my go to for coffee and related beverages. I am prone to getting the hot chocolate or mocha mexicana, as they are above average as compared to some of the other drinks. I like how saxbys offers many promotions, including free iced coffee based on various events as well as the promotional discount when using the app. Overall, one of the better places to get coffee in South Side Bethlehem. read more

Try their London Fog: earl grey tea with steamed milk (I usually get steamed almond milk) and two pumps of vanilla. It's my favorite

I cannot keep away from this place and the days I do, I find a little less sunshine and bliss in my day. I love the fact that most of these drinks are ones from Starbucks "secret menu" and considering the fact that Starbucks is right across the road and doesn't even carry the ingredients to make their own drinks is so frustrating. Saxbys is delicious and an addiction :) read more

Wiping the tables during slow times would have given us a better choice of tables. Only 3 tables with customers of approximately 12 choices. 4 I wouldn't sit at! Tea was fine, as was coffee. Ambiance, otherwise, was acceptable. Too many choices around to settle for dirty, while servers are chatting loudly in the background read more

I actually came here for lunch. I added grilled chicken to the caprese and it turned out awesome. The customer service was also excellent.

Coffee was fine. Environment was fine. All the patrons were working quietly and one of the baristas was practically yelling about her tense relationship with her boyfriend. She was inappropriate, rude, and distracting. Made it very hard to get work done. Will not be going back. read more

Not a bad place, but it closes soooooo early for a coffee shop. 6pm in summer when it should be at least 10.

This place serves really good drinks. BUT customer service is horrible. Theyre so rude. Especially one young there that works there tuesday mornings. She is so rude and don't make me want to come here anymore. read more
