Saxbys Coffee
Located in the Georgia State University Libraries first floor is jammed packed with students socializing and working on school work. Filling the room is the sounds of people talking, coffee machines clanking, and light music coming out of the speakers. The row of lights from the ceiling give off a warm welcoming glow that bounces off of the yellow walls. Every seat is packed full of students and they show the wear and tear of how many people come in here every day. There are large couches and high top tables but also booths and chairs everywhere. There is a line of people starting at the glass door and ending at the busy cash register. Peoples names are being called out above the noise of space.
Saxbys has a warm, calm feel to it. Much like a Starbucks or a Panera Bread, from the warm glow of the line of lights bouncing off the calm yellow walls. To add to the overall feel of the space there is the sounds of clicking keyboards from the student’s laptops, soft conversations, music playing from the speakers, and the news could be heard. This was a place for students to come and relax, grab a cup of coffee and get their work done. The chairs and booths were worn down from all of the customer traffic; there are visible holes on the seats from all the people who sat here. This is a comfortable space that provides huge leather couches for people to sit in and drink their coffee or eat their small meal.
There are people moving in and out of the space. People waiting in the line for their turn to order. Others waiting on the other side of the line for their name or number to be called. The rest of the people were filling the chairs and tables with their food and drinks and laptops. The two leather couches are fill of friends sitting practically on top of each other, trying to get the best spot in the entire space. Some people are alone sitting with their headphones in and typing away at their laptops. Others had friends who they were sitting with and talking to.
Students mostly fill the café with their book bags on their back, and their laptops or wallets in their hands. Since it is so close, being right on campus, on the first floor of the library; it is so easy for students to come too. It is a nice place to get away from the loud hectic library, that is why so many students come here.
