They make it just how our like it. It's definitely my favorite locally! It was a. Old and rainy day today and hit the spot!

This Masala Chai latte is nice and hot..... and yummy, strong flavor BUT!!!! That's what I like, I go to different coffee shops asking for this very thing and they do not deliver, but guess who did and without me asking. The young lady was adorable

Seasonal Fall Menu 2025

Visiting here for the second time now. I wanted to grab coffee before my lunch plans and shop around the stores. Parking: There's a parking structure with free 90 minute parking. There's free street parking, but it's difficult to find. There's also a free parking lot across the street. Finding a spot in the lot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They're located along side PCH. They have a medium sized space with limited amount of indoor seating and a good amount of outdoor seating. It's pretty clean inside. I sat outside because the views of the weather and boats were nice. It wasn't too busy, but there were consistent customers coming in. There's no clear direction of where the line starts, so people just started lining up however. Service: The baristas are always courteous and welcoming. They're very knowledgable about the menu. They'll ask if you have any questions about the menu. I asked them if they still do latte art, and luckily one of the baristas that was working knows how to do latte art. Throughput is also quick; it took about 5 min after ordering. Drinks: I ordered a large hot Dolcezza from their seasonal menu. It's a pumpkin puree spiced latte. A hot large latte is 12 oz. I asked for a ceramic mug since I wanted to sit outside for a while. The latte art was so cute. The drink itself tasted exactly as described. The pumpkin flavor was strong and paired well with the espresso. Pricing: It cost $7.50 for a seasonal, large hot latte. I noticed prices are a bit more than average. Considering where it's located, I'm not too surprised. Although I enjoyed my drink, I'd visit once in a while when I'm in the area.

Excellent coffee and pastries. Great vibes. Forgot the name of my latte but really enjoyed it. Very balanced on sweetness naturally the way it comes. Had the lemon poppyseed and blueberry muffins both amazing. Location is perfect and I usually select this place when meeting folks halfway between OC and LA.

Mocha

Caffe Luxxe is one of my favorite Artisanal Coffee Shops serving quality artisanal coffee made out of locally roasted beans. They have a delicious Mocha, some great Herbal teas including loose leaf teas and other great hand crafted blends. Today i had the Hibiscus herbal tea with some honey. It was really delicious. They are located at the 2nd and PCH shopping center in Long Beach. The interior is modern, spacious, but yet warm and inviting. The lighting is comfortable on the eye and there is usually a soft adult alternative music playing in the background. The walls have some cool vintage and modern European art pieces. They have a large patio with lots of seating and facing the Alamitos Marina. The service is excellent and always friendly. Prices are average. I highly recommend Caffe Luxxe

I've been to this spot several times but kept forgetting to write a review. I enjoy their coffee and their seasonal drinks. I got the shakerato al pistachio as well as a hot version they made pistachio mocha. The flavors was very enjoyable. I've also brought their coffee beans to make at home. They staff are always friendly and helpful. It's just a very nice coffee shop.

Outdoor patio (Nov 2025)

Caffe Luxxe is one of the earliest coffee shops in LA that focuses on hand crafted artisanal espresso and brewed coffee (opened in 2005) with the flagship store in Santa Monica. This is one of eight Caffe Luxxe locations across SoCal. [Parking]: Cafe is a part of the 2ND & PCH Shopping Center so plenty of free parking spots available on E Marina Dr as long as customers come early before 10 AM. I was still able to find couple free parking spots even on a busy Sunday for the weekly farmers market across the street. The first 90 minutes = free at the designated 2ND & PCH parking structure. [Atmosphere & amenities]: Dog friendly outdoor patio area. Restroom is located directly across from the entrance of the coffee shop. Expect a waiting line forms after 11 AM on weekends. [Menu]: The signature drink is Cafe Nico. They offer several single origin coffee options for brewed coffee and Caffe Latte is another popular option. *** Cafe Nico (espresso, candied orange, cinnamon, half & half - 8 oz hot $6.25): Solid drink with right amount of sweetness. Chicken pesto sandwich ($8.95): Decent sandwich got the job done. *** Overall this is a good spot for a casual date or hanging out with friends as (1) the coffee shop is located right next to the marina (good vibe), (2) the shop is a part of the 2ND & PCH Shopping Center + next to Whole Foods (good for window shopping), and (3) convenient parking.

Bags of coffee beans on the counter

For being the only coffee shop at 2nd and PCH, an upscale shopping center literally by the Marina, I didn't expect to feel deceived when I stopped by on a Saturday early afternoon. I don't visit the area often, but I've known about Caffe Luxxe for a while. With coffee shops in the LBC being a dime a dozen, this one at first glance seemed to boast a pretty upbeat, family-friendly atmosphere with a nice view of Alamitos Bay. I assume the word "luxxe" is related to the word "luxury", so that must explain the relatively high price tags on their drinks, especially for their cup sizes. I had planned a day trip to this part of town, but didn't pack any water. I was starting to feel a little drowsy and thirsty that this would be the perfect time to order a coffee drink from Caffe Luxxe, which is located on the Marina side of 2nd and PCH. As soon as I entered, I saw the numerous coffee bags by the front counter as well as shelves of merch by the wall. There were a few customers in line, but the line went by quickly that before I knew it, it was now my turn to order. The left side of the menu caught my eye because it was their seasonal summer menu. The orange box in the middle showcased their limited edition coffee drinks: Coco Di Luxxe, The Honey Buzz, and Summertime Chill Iced Coffee. The first two only had one price, and I couldn't tell if it was a Small or Large. After asking one of the baristas, she told me both were the Small size, and they were $1 more than a Large Summertime Chill Iced Coffee. I asked to see the difference between a Small and a Large, and she showed the cup sizes to the right of the register. The Large was $1 more than the Small, but it looked like it was worth the upcharge with how much larger the Large was, so that's what I went with: Summertime Chill Iced Coffee, which the menu says, "Refreshing, light body, cocoa, summer rainier cherry, sangria, grapefruit, smooth finish". She asked if I'd like for her to leave room for some cream and sugar. I said just a little bit for the cream. Her male co-worker, who was pretty friendly, finished ringing me up at the register. Literally a minute later, I saw another barista, who appeared to be disgruntled, quickly pour some iced coffee into a cup and simply said, "iced coffee" when he was done. I didn't think it was mine because he didn't say, "Summertime chill", so I thought it was someone else's. However, the first barista who assisted me did say it was mine, saying it was just an "iced coffee" almost as if to gaslight me. Suddenly, the screeching brakes sound effect played in my mind. Wait, did I just get deceived by this seasonal special, thinking it'd taste like summer when it was just any ordinary iced coffee I could get from somewhere else, like Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme? The cup did not have a lid when I picked it up; I had to go to the counter on the opposite end of the shop to get a lid for my iced coffee. I appreciated how it was nice and cold, but after one sip, I definitely felt like it was a gyp (rhyme intended). Either that, or there was miscommunication with the team of baristas preparing customers' orders that I actually picked up someone else's drink, and someone else picked up my drink instead. The latter I'm ruling as a good possibility because the disgruntled barista who poured the iced coffee into my cup came into the scene after I had paid for my order; I thought the female barista I initially spoke to would have prepared my drink because she had asked if I wanted to leave room for cream/sugar. This does not add up... The iced coffee I got was pretty much any ordinary iced coffee that I could get from, shall I say it again? Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme. The flavor did seem bolder with the cream they added, but there was quite a lot of ice in my cup, which was 16 oz, so there really wasn't that much room for the actual iced coffee. I was able to finish my drink before I reached my next destination. The tables, both inside and outside, were occupied for the most part, but it does seem like a good place to get some studying/work done. And did I mention the view of Alamitos Bay? Too bad the coffee shop is on the ground level as opposed to the second level, so the view of the bay isn't as good compared to Ola Mexican Kitchen. I didn't check the price of an iced coffee, but I do feel like I overpaid for something I didn't actually get. I didn't taste any cherry or grapefruit in my drink, and there weren't any notes of summer flavor in my drink at all! So why was it even a summertime iced coffee? More like bummertime iced coffee if you know what I mean. I'm glad I stopped by Caffe Luxxe, but I highly doubt I'll make a return visit. They do have an app called Luxxista Rewards, as alluded to on the bottom of the summertime menu, so if you're a regular or at least a coffee aficionado who lives nearby, it might be worth looking into. For me, I'm not even going to bother, especially since I'm not even that close to Caffe Luxxe.

My buddies and I embarked on a bike ride from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach, and stumbled upon Caffe Luxxe where we indulged in some delicious pastries. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance was absolutely ideal for a leisurely Saturday morning. I highly recommend this place.

Oat matcha latte
Adrian S.

Got slightly confused looking for this place, the cafe is on the first floor facing the outside of the plaza. There's also a tunnel from inside in the center of the plaza where you can walk out and see it. It's a nice cafe, you can take advantage of the plaza WiFi which is fast and reliable. Makes it a good study place on the outside. The inside is a bit too cold for my tastes, I would recommend a jacket if you're planning to stay a while inside. The outdoor seating is great. Also note they close on the earlier side. There are outlets but I didn't get a chance to try them I got the oat matcha latte, it was not bad. I'd rank it in the middle for matcha lattes I've tried before.

Hibiscus Tea
Yvette M.

After visiting the Farmer's Market we wanted to grab a coffee/ tea to go with the treats we purchased. This spot is always popular on a Sunday. The line was out the door, but moved fast. We tried the holiday Caffe Shakerato made with Pistachio and dark chocolate and substituted with oatmilk. A deliciously smooth, slightly sweet coffee that's worth ordering. My go to tea is the herbal hibiscus iced. A great choice if you're looking for a non caffeine unsweetened tea. Customer service was great and drinks were made fairly fast. There is seating outdoors if you're looking for a spot to enjoy your coffee.

Incredible. Best cappaccino. Requested oatmilk for an earthy taste and is absolutely delicious. No bitterness. Creamy texture

Romuel Dave C.

The Cold brew was just OK. Slightly acidic, bitter and sweet notes were present. A little surprised at BOLD as the initial description because it is anything but. It would do well to be topped with a creamer of some sort to round out the flavors. Service was great. She was quick and polite. Inside is modern and clean. Great patio seating that looks onto the Marina, or walk on out to the courtyard. Careful, that door is heavy when the wind is causing pressure differences between inside and out.

Checked out Memento today and really enjoyed the experience. It's a smaller shop with clean,…read moreminimalist vibes--simple but inviting, and a great place to settle in for a bit. I ordered the Iced Ube Latte, which includes a bit of ube halaya mixed in. It had a nice, subtle sweetness--not overpowering--and a smooth, creamy flavor that made it easy to sip on while getting some work done. I'd definitely order it again. The price felt pretty standard for a specialty latte, right around what you'd expect for something a little more unique. Atmosphere-wise, it's a solid spot if you're looking to be productive. There are several outlets available, which is always a plus, and the noise level was manageable--calm without being completely silent. That said, it does get fairly busy, especially between 8:00 AM and 12:30 PM, so keep that in mind if you're hoping for a quieter window. Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's street parking only. You might get lucky with a spot out front, but be prepared to circle a bit or walk a short distance. Overall, a great little coffee shop with a unique drink menu and a comfortable work-friendly setup. I'd recommend it!

Overpriced for the most mid coffee "experience"…read more Decided to try a pourover and didn't even register the price until I sat down. IT WAS $13!!!! The menu said MP like it was a piece of lobster... They provided only enough coffee to fill up half the miniature cup (the water is in an espresso cup for size reference). The worst part was that the coffee was disgusting and definitely tasted like they used old beans. Originally came here to buy coffee beans but the roast dates were 3/18 and 3/30. It's already May and these beans would not hold the same flavor as they did in March. 0/5 experience, would NOT recommend
