Saxbys is a coffee company headquartered in Philadelphia with its very own cafe at Virginia Commonwealth University!

Are you tired of the same old grind? In search of a flexible, supportive environment? Are you dedicated to serving your community? Saxbys’ cafe team members are more than just baristas. You’ll get hands‑on experience in food and beverage production, community leadership, and hospitality while working with fellow peers at your university’s campus!

We understand it takes more than a decked‑out food and beverage menu to become a beloved café on campus. It takes teamwork, a drive for community, and magnetic energy from an all‑student team helping fellow students achieve their collegiate goals. We are redefining what it means to be a café, creating a culture that fosters students to run their own impactful business to serve their community.
