Saxbys
4200 Fifth Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
Crema's Take
“This Saxbys location on Pitt's campus nails what a college coffee shop should be: a warm, dependable spot where the drinks—especially their creative cold brew variations like the decaf chai cold brew with oat milk—genuinely shine. While the food side has some consistency issues, the fast and friendly service keeps students and visitors coming back for quality specialty drinks in an inviting atmosphere that's perfect for studying or grabbing something quick between classes.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Wifi.
