Too many coffee options to choose from?

Menus that are chock-full of delicious-sounding items are a great thing, and yet... a good menu can sometimes make life more complicated sheerly because too many possibly satisfying options can make it difficult to settle on just one.

When it's time to order: it's one thing when you're seated at a restaurant, and have the option of telling the server that you need a few more minutes-- and quite an entirely different situation when you're standing in-line, with people waiting behind you, and the person behind the register is looking expectantly at you for an immediate order. (I.e. At Saxbys.)

With over 30 Saxbys specialty drinks to choose from-- amongst them; Almond Joy, Banana Split, Milky Way, Chocolate Monkey, Snickerdoodle, and Kookie Monster, just to name a few, and each sounding delicious-- game-time coffee orders can be tough. 

In order to give you a little advantage, our full menu is now online so that you can peruse beforehand and have an idea of what you might like without feeling the full-blown performance anxiety of having to choose asap off a huge menu. (This goes for our coffee drinks as well as our sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and FroYo options.) 

If you check out the menu and still find yourself in an ordering quandary, feel free to ask anyone on staff for their recommendation/opinion; if there's one thing all Saxbys employees love-- its talking about Saxbys coffee and food. :)

Kit Kat's [coffee] break...

Kit Kat's famous "give me a break" slogan can now apply to more than just the candy-bar...

 

By combining Vanilla, Chocolate, and a little bit of Cinnamon coffee flavors together, a delicious drink is formed that tastes as if you were drinking a caffeinated version of the classic candy. (And really, what could be better-- trade the afternoon-slump that accompanies the digestion of sugary products for the coffee version of your favorite treat that allows you stay awake and alert!)

Can coffee prevent breast cancer?

New research shows that women who drink coffee could be protecting themselves against an especially aggressive form of breast cancer.

Oestrogen-receptor negative is a tricky type of breast cancer where tumors do not react to the most commonly used drugs, leaving chemotherapy as the only treatment option.

A study from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm Sweden has recently discovered that women who regularly drink coffee have a lower occurrence rate of this type of breast cancer, than those women who do not drink coffee.

 In the study, 6,000 menopausal women were analyzed. The women who drank five or more cups a day had a 57% reduced risk of breast cancer compared with those who drank less than one cup a day.

  

The scientists concluded in the journal of Breast Cancer Research that "A high daily intake of coffee was found to be associated with a statistically significant decrease in oestrogen-receptor negative breast cancer among post-menopausal women."

When pressed for information, the Karolinska Institute experts said they suspected coffee contained compounds that affected different types of breast cancer in different ways. It is possible that the drink fuels oestrogen-receptor positive breast cancers but reduces the risk of oestrogen-receptor negative breast cancer, they said.

Although findings are not completely understood as of yet, this does match other findings where coffee has shown to reduce the risk of other types of cancer too, such as prostate and liver cancers.

Bradley Cooper's latest movie "Limitless" is a fictional story about a pill that improves brain functionality... with mortal consequences. 
Fortunately, a chemical that boosts brain power does exist, with a significantly less cataclysmic after-affect. 
To increase the effectiveness of your brain functionality, all you have to do is drink some caffeine! 
A cup of coffee or tea is all it takes-- studies show that caffeine increases production of the hormone norepinephrine, which acts like adrenaline for your brain. By revving up your central nervous system, the consumption of caffeine improves your attention span and problem solving abilities.
The only peril to avoid with coffee? Make sure to cap yourself at about 2 cups... caffeine induced jitters can ruin that newly achieved focus!
