Pep Talk: A lively and well-rounded reminder that you rock, today and every day.The Saxbys Roastery is roasting and bagging four new coffee blends (with some amazing single origins to come soon). Now we’re truly in the coffee and hospitality business - in a big way.” “But now, with a world-class team that brings over 50 years of combined industry expertise to the table and just as much unbridled passion to Make Life Better, we are equipped to offer product that’s as differentiating as our hospitality. “We used to say, ‘we’re not in the coffee business, we’re ultimately in the hospitality business.’ As such, we became known as the company committed to making guests’ lives better through our team’s exceptional kindness and ongoing dedication to social impact,” said Saxbys Founder and CEO Nick Bayer. The roasters employ tech-forward features from intuitive touch screens to built-in digital scales, all while using 80% less fuel than conventional roasters.
The space boasts state of the art equipment, including 15- and 70 kilo stainless steel Loring Smart Roasters. The roastery, led by Lead Roaster Gregg Roberson, features a 728-ton yearly roast capacity and is instrumental to Saxbys four new blends and 10 upcoming single origin offerings. The facility, which inhabits a converted century-old ice house, evokes the craftsmanship and talent to produce that is embedded in Philadelphia’s DNA. The team responsible for sourcing globally brings the coffee home to roast it locally in Saxbys’ new roastery located at 2415 Morris Street in the Point Breeze section of South Philly. “We take pride in doing this across our entire lineup - regardless of whether it is a single origin or a blend.” These relationships mean everything to us but ultimately we are there to find coffee we hope our guests will enjoy,” shared David Amos, Vice President of Coffee. We are committed to going to origin to continue our partnerships and develop new relationships that are both authentic and transparent.
“We firmly believe great coffee is a direct result of great relationships. At its core, the coffee program champions relationships - the relationships rooted in mutual respect that the brand develops with producers at origin, and in turn, the relationships Saxbys has with its guests who enjoy the finished product. The sourcing philosophy guiding the program is straightforward, but today, is still not commonplace: Saxbys believes coffee should be the product of long-lasting relationships that start with a handshake where it was grown. Carefully curated by an impassioned team of prize-winning baristas, coffee trainers, expert roasters, and experienced green coffee buyers, the new lineup of coffee is now available across all Saxbys cafés and can also be purchased online nationwide at Over a year ago, Saxbys hired Vice President of Coffee, David Amos, to develop a sourcing strategy that mirrored the brand’s core values and emphasized its enduring mission to “Make Life Better.” Amos traveled the globe - nine countries, to be specific - to thoughtfully source the best possible coffee for Saxbys’ guests while developing mutually beneficial relationships with growers and producers. PHILADELPHIA, PA (October 2019) - Saxbys is pleased to announce the debut of its entirely new coffee program, sourced globally and roasted locally at the brand’s new 7,000 square foot South Philly roastery.
