Friendly barista and a cute little cart. However, for over nine dollars a coffee, I would expect…read morethe drink to look and taste as advertised. My toasted marshmallow latte was extremely underwhelming compared to what it looks like on the menu. I love the idea and the concept, but I don't think I'd pay nine dollars for another latte. Also, my straw was fully opened, stuck in my drink, and then I watched the barista put her hand all over my straw in order to stir up by coffee with it. Most coffee shops would use a metal spoon for that not the straw that the customer is expected to drink out of after your hands been all over it. I ended up tossing the straw and using one that I had in my car.

Located at the lively High Street in Desert Ridge, The Grove is surrounded by a curated mix of…read moreupscale boutiques, restaurants, wine bars, and salons, making it a fun spot to grab a coffee while exploring the area. Parking was easy with both street and garage options available, which is always a plus. The space offers both indoor seating and a dog-friendly patio, giving it a relaxed and welcoming vibe. We ordered the Strawberry Latte and a vanilla cappuccino. Unfortunately, the Strawberry Latte was a bit disappointing since it lacked much strawberry flavor and isn't something we'd order again. The vanilla cappuccino, however, was excellent -- rich, flavorful, and served piping hot, which I personally loved. Even though one drink missed the mark, the atmosphere and the cappuccino made it worth the visit. Definitely a spot worth stopping into and trying for yourself.

I came here hoping to study while enjoying a snack and a drink, but the space was much louder than…read moreexpected. The kitchen is in the middle of the shop, and with 6+ employees working there, it created a lot of noise. The matcha was okay, but pricey at $9. I also ordered the banana bread and was surprised there wasn't a banana nut option, especially for a bakery. Overall, the food and drinks were ok, but the noise level makes it unlikely I'll return when I need a place to study or have a conversation.

I tried the Coconut Macadamia Matcha, the Cinnamon Pistachio Latte, and the Feta Avocado Sandwich--each one was divine, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the drinks and the food. What truly made our visit memorable was Nasiah. Her kindness, genuine hospitality, and thoughtful recommendations really shined through. She took the time to understand what we liked and suggested drinks that were spot on. Exceptional customer service like that makes all the difference. If you're in Arizona and looking for an outstanding coffee shop, Better Buzz Coffee is absolutely worth the visit. Great food, amazing drinks, and even better service. We'll definitely be back!

It is futuristic without being cold, elegant without trying too hard. Of every LUX I have visited, this one feels the most like a hidden gem. The staff welcome you with a kindness that cannot be designed into a building. It lives in the way they remember your order, answer questions with patience, and make space for everyone at the table. As someone who is gluten and dairy free, that kind of thoughtfulness never goes unnoticed. Different milk options and a willingness to accommodate make this little café feel even more like home. The soundtrack deserves its own applause. Walking in to hear Studio Ghibli melodies drifting through the room made the whole experience feel cinematic, as if a gentle breeze from another world had slipped through the front door. My lavender latte was delicate and comforting, floral without losing the warmth of coffee. The matcha with peach syrup was equally memorable--a drink that somehow tasted like spring finding its way into a cup. My mom enjoyed her Americano and pastry, proof that sometimes the classics are all you need when they are done with care. The art covering the walls, the copper glow of the hanging lights, the soft pink chairs, and the gentle hum of conversation create an atmosphere that asks nothing from you except to slow down. Bring a book. Put on your headphones. Sit with someone you love. Or simply sit with yourself. In a world always asking us to hurry, LUX Max Annex is a quiet rebellion. A cozy escape tucked inside the bustle of Scottsdale, where beautiful drinks, welcoming hearts, and thoughtful details remind you that sweetness still exists in ordinary days. Some places serve coffee. This one serves a little more hope with the foam.

The gelato choices are plentiful and delicious, even if the prices aren't super cheap. But you get great quality, and you can't go wrong with most flavors, so just choose something that appeals to you. I've been to a number of gelato shops over the years, and I saw flavors here I had never seen before. They will let you taste as many of them as you'd like, and a variety of sizes are available, with the ability to have more than one flavor in a serving for most sizes. The ambience is Old World Italy with several indoor tables, and service was super friendly. It's a perfect summer snack or dessert spot and a great stop on date night. :)
