Foxy Loxy Cafe

Latte was awesome. Beware they do not have any flavored syrups, but they do have alternative milks like almond. They have small bites, some are vegan or gluten free. The line was long but it was a Friday afternoon so it was to be expected.

“Foxy,” as we locals call it, is what I would consider the premier coffee establishment in Savannah. They are true to coffee as an art—you won’t find your favorite syrupy combos here! It’s so good, though, it turned me onto plain jane coffee, and now I don’t want it any other way. They also have the best black chai and matcha lattes in town, considering the punch of the flavor and the price. I recommend getting extra matcha in your latte—it’ll be as strong as the fancier places for several dollars less. They also offer a variety of gluten free and vegan pastries that do not disappoint, and I sincerely believe the best tacos in town are sold here. Their kitchen is also fast, their customer service is excellent, and their baristas are fun to chat with. My only critiques are that most of the seating is communal, centered around large tables, and they do not have many outlets here at all—I have long wished they would divide up the seating upstairs. It’s not a place I like to come to if I need to study for that reason. They also can be really inconsistent with food quality—sometimes the tacos are spicier than a red indian curry, and other times it’s so mild you wouldn’t think there was spice there at all. The lemon bars, the best pastry in the cabinet, are also either burnt or undercooked more than half the time, particularly for the past few months. But, hey, try a gluten free blueberry muffin and the veggie taco instead. There’s always a way to win here.
