Yes.

Magic and Technology co-exist in this world!

Technology in the Phox Cafe is equivalent to our current Real-World technology; Smartphones, Laptops, Gaming PC's, flashy headphones, smartwatches, the works!
The good news is there's hardly any reason to lose your chargers, as magic is used to charge most devices. However, things that need plugged in still need plugged in as electricity is definitely still a thing.
Why?
No one really knows.
(The residents have learned not to question things.)

Magic is also absolutely a thing!
While phoxes are required to have their chopsticks handy as basically a magical focus, phoxes can learn a wide variety of magic!
All phoxes have an innate ability to create small amounts of magic, but without training and focus, the most an untrained phox can really do is cast something harmless....like pocket glitter. Even though some may argue that's not exactly harmless...
If a phox somehow loses their chopsticks, they will be severely magically limited and sometimes may not be able to access their inner magic at all, as their chopsticks contain the blessing of the Celestial.

Magic Usage in Canon

All phoxes are able to wield magic if they are in possession of their chopsticks.
Phox chopsticks are their magic catalysts which provide remnants of their blessing from the Celestial. While they are not needed as a wand or anything, they must still be within at least 5 feet of the phox in order for them to use any magic.
If a phox does not have their chopsticks, while they won’t necessarily feel weak, they will feel ‘off’ in some way or another and cannot cast magic.

In order for a phox to cast specialized spells, such as knowing a fire tornado or a full-group shield, it needs to be approved via (Quest? Approval thread?). Otherwise, all foxes can cast most any magic in small bits and spurts.

phoxes tend to favor certain types of magics; Defensive, Offensive, or Supportive are the most common groupings of magics. No Phox may use illusion magic.

Types of magic that can be cast defensively;
(List is not exhaustive)
Shields (including bubbles)
Skin Hardening/Barkskin
Absorb Magic
Invisibility

Types of magic that can be cast offensively;
(List is not exhaustive)
Fire(ball)
Stone Spikes
Vine Whip
Air Blast/airbending
Water Gun

Types of magic that can be cast Supportively;
(List is not exhaustive)
Healing Touch
Healing Word
Power Boost

Exceptions

Phelis
Phelis are an unusual breed, in that any first-generation phelis are completely magic-less. All Phelis come from the same domain, a really weird-looking door leading into it. No one can go in, and only Phelis can come out. No phelis remembers what’s behind the door.
Phelis cannot Ascend, but they are able to petition the Celestial to gaze upon them and grant them magic and their own pair of chopsticks.
