Ordered a hot oatmilk latte. Fantastic drink. Smooth and creamy taste with no added sugar needed. Coffee tastes great. Not bitter or burnt at all. One of the best coffee in town
True to its name, Caffe Luxxe is a luxury. Tasty but expensive! This LA based cafe sits on the backside of 2nd & PCH. Luckily this means that parking is always a breeze with their large marina-side parking lot. I ordered the Honey Latte and an almond croissant. This is one of the best croissants that I've had from a local coffee shop. It was both flakey and chewy, and stuffed with the most delicious almond paste. While the drink was great, I felt that it was on the smaller side for the price tag. Especially with the cold foam topper. Sadly, due to its size and my lack of self restraint, this beverage was gone in seconds.
My first time trying Caffe Luxxe and I am a fan. Vanilla latte is on point and the shortbread cookies are so yummy. Would definitely come back.
I've been here couple more times before. Time for an update. It was a good coffee, prices are OK. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Service was good. Overall I recommend it. There is free parking for 90 minutes. Restrooms are outside in the mall. There is also free Internet, which is provided by the mall.
Definitely our family favorite Coffee Shop! When you walk in, great aroma if freshly brewed coffee! Small chain and their drinks and pastries are fresh and tasty! They also sell their beans thatvI highly recommend! Service is very friendly and the staff definitely knows how to make hot and cold drinks! Today I enjoyed a hot Chai Tea Latte, my usual! 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!
Luxxe, pookie bear hello, I stopped by and was craving a ~chai latte~ and I was not disappointed. Iced chai with vanilla syrup. Deeeeeeeeeeelicious. I think I would've been okay with only 1 pump instead of 2. 2 pumps was a WEEEEE bit too sweet for me. I avoid everything sweet like desserts but my drinks is the only time I'll accept a little syrup or something. They have a small cute case of some baked goods. I have yet to try them. Service was nice, the baristas were very friendly and multi tasked between making the drinks and ringing us up. They do have their own restroom and I guess they're pet friendly because I almost tripped over some lady's little dog. They're located on the side of the 2nd&pch plaza and parking is right out in front. But it's Long Beach so good luck finding an open spot.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I enjoyed my chai latte before doing some shopping and work on my laptop here at 2nd and PCH. The staff is friendly, their designs are cute and they have a great little food bar. The most unfortunate thing is that their seats aren't that comfortable and the wifi here is not very good. They don't have their own wifi, you have to use the malls wifi and it's not very strong where they're at. So once I purchased my items I walked to the outside middle area to get a stronger connection. read more

Love Caffee Luxxe! The barista's here are so stylish!Fresh baked goods, delicious coffee and a great atmosphere whether you sit inside or outside. The quality is in every sip and bite, you can't go wrong with everything they have. A great spot to start your morning! read more
Second visit and both times I thoroughly enjoyed my coffee choices. This time around, per the barista's recommendation, I tried a hot Caffe Nico Latte. I opted for Almond Milk vs half and half since I only do FF H&H and very much enjoy almond milk. I went for the latte size so if you order, be ready to spend $7 and if you want the espresso size it will be $4.80. I usually don't buy coffee out, but when having a girlfriend outing, decided to splurge which for me $7 is just that. However it was worth every penny!! I was a bit skeptical because it has candied Orange and I really didn't want that to be the flavor I tasted the most. The barista assured me it's the cinnamon that I would taste the most and really not so much the Orange. I went for it and I was in heaven with the blend of flavors. Hardly tasted the Orange but just a hint and oodles of cinnamon. Loved the top foam as you drink you get lots of it filled with sweet cinnamon flavor. They top it with a really cute heart (see pic). Most times my coffees, I don't like it towards the end because it is way to sweet, but this wasn't like that at all. The place is lovely and has a nice outdoor seating patio to enjoy your coffee especially across from the marina. Can't see the water but just knowing you are close to the water is lovely. It's in a great little outdoor shopping mall so you can grab a coffee and be-bop around window shopping. They sell really nice lotion which all three scents are yummy and nourishing. I asked why "lotion in a coffee shop?" And apparently one brand of coffee they sell uses a process in which the water is used to make the lotion. None of the scents are coffee lol, but Rose or Fig and a Citrus which all smell ahhhhmazing. Now it's time to take my hubby to enjoy what I did today. Date day for sure. Can't forget to say all the staff was helpful and kind. read more

I like their matcha and nico latte really good and their interior is so nice and clean. The cashier was really nice too and she helped by recommending me a new latte but i think the nico latte which was what she first recommended was really just the winner of this place haha. I recommend getting a coffee and enjoying the views read more

Aesthetic coffee shop in Long Beach facing the water! I love the minimalistic and chill vibes of the cafe - definitely a great place to catch up with friends. I decided to try the Nicco latte which has hints of cinammon and orange. The cinammon flavor was overpowering and I couldn't really taste the cinammon. read more
Was happy to see a place to get a coffee drink that isn't a huge national chain. The batista suggested the Caffe Nico and it was definitely on point! Seriously, a yummy drink that didn't need anything added. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that drink on the menu lists for $4.60 but I was charged $6.00 for completely unknown and unmentioned reasons. read more

Caffe Luxxe deserves more stars! It is 1000 degrees in along Beach today and my house feels like it's boiling. I work from home, and was able to spend hours (!!!) working from Caffe Luxxe. It is quiet-ish with calming tunes and a ton of space. I asked if they mind people working there for a long time, and the server told me they love it! The WiFi is basic second and pch, so it's not great, but I'll take what I can if it means I'm in air conditioning. The service is great, fast, and friendly. I stayed for a long time and they didn't mind, even allowing me some free water. They have some fun touches too- hand lotion by the register, and a cute little gift shop area by the exit. It's very clean and the coffee is really good, albeit a bit strong. I've had classic drinks and creative drinks here and enjoyed both. I will be back for AC and good coffee!! I will say it is quite expensive for what you get. My basic americano was one of the cheapest items on the menu and was $5 after tip and was pretty small. read more
Love this coffee spot at 2nd & PCH! They have not-so-typical crafted coffees and lovely views for a reasonable price. Def a great place to meet up for coffee with a date or friend. Came in on a Sunday morning and the line was just a couple people long and there were still seats available in their outdoor patio. There was also plenty of fun seating all around the 2nd and PCH campus. We ordered the Caffe Nico and the Caffe Shakerato. Both are delicious in their own ways and the Caffe Shakerato is definitely a fave. We also ordered a banana chocolate nut muffin, which was also very tasty. Definitely a place I'll be frequenting in the future! read more

What a sweet spot. I live half an hour away but will make the drive - traffic or not - to spend quality time here. This is a beautiful cafe worth checking out. I love the Honey Vanilla Latte with cinnamon and oat milk. I have tried it iced twice. The next popular option would be the Caffe Nico. I would love to try their brewed coffee here, and other options. Personally, I'm not a Mocha-type of person, but their chocolate expresso drinks look delightful. Assorted pastries, cute greeting cards, delicious coffee beans and cool mugs. There's AC inside and a beautiful view of the marina outside. I love sitting out there when there isn't a lot of people. Easy parking on the street or lot - extended parking is available in the marina lot across the cafe. The staff is superb! read more
I keep coming back for the Caffe Nico. If you're a fan of cinnamon and taste of candied orange syrup, you'll be a fan. I love it hot or iced depending on the vibes for that day. Plenty of seating inside or outside to get some work done or get some reading in. The wifi is public 2nd & pch shared network fyi for all you wfh peeps! read more

This is my favorite coffee shot. My go to order is vanilla latte w/ extra shot w/ 2% milk. It's my favorite coffee. Parking is on the street or you can take a ticket into the parking structure (first 90 mins free). Food is good here too but they can run out. Staff is friendly, place is always clean and has a nice indoor and outdoor seating area. The only thing I'd like to make this place perfect: is to call ahead or an APP to place orders. Sometimes I'm just in a hurry and need my coffee quick. read more

Finally tried this place out and really enjoyed it. Th e staff was super helpful and accommodating with all my questions and dairy restrictions. I tried the cafe Nico iced and my friend got the cortado and we loved it. Additionally the Long Beach location is beautiful. They have a lovely outdoor patio and it's located in the 2nd street outdoor mall so we just walked over to listen to live outdoor music while sipping our drinks. Will definitely be going back! read more

Never tried this place & was at the 2nd & PCH shopping mall for the first time on Saturday afternoon so made the move to check it out. Pretty decent drinks & very great service! ITEM'S ORDERED: Cafe Nico (espresso, candied orange, cinnamon, w/ almond milk) Matcha Latte (stevia sweetened, w/ oat milk) TASTE: Caffe Nico basically tastes like a strongly flavored latte (which I like) with notes of cinnamon. I couldn't really detect the candid orange but wish I did since I think having it more present would have been enjoyable. I was just going to get an Americano but went with this drink since it sounded more uncommon/unique. Matcha Latte (stevia sweetened, w/ oat milk) was pretty well made. Glad the matcha flavor was not lost & I like how they have straight up matcha powder that is not premixed with sugar. SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING: Service was fantastic here. The girl who took the order & made the drinks was very genuine, sweet & welcoming. Really gave me those good local coffee shop vibes. They are located in the 2nd & PCH shopping center on the ground level, close to the middle area, facing Marina Dr. It's a good sized, clean, spacious interior with a few tables & even more outside seating available. Big fan of the large grey (granite looking) counter top. Looks good & it's a great backdrop for your drink photo. Parking is very easy since there's a large structure with free parking (up to 90 min without validation). You can enter the structure from PCH as well as Marina Dr. I'm not local to this or any of their other locations but I'm definitely open to checking them out again. Great service & strong coffee pretty much always draws me back. read more

This coffee shop is the absolute best. The people here are so sweet and helpful, the drinks are incredible along with the tastiest treats, and with an unforgettable atmosphere. Especially if you're looking for a coffee spot with a view by the water. I highly recommend coming here to enjoy a coffee on the patio while overlooking the marina. read more

The coffee and service is great. The area is simple and perfect for productive work at the shop. I order a Marocchino because it's the first time I saw the drink. It was a shot of espresso with a hint of milk and they delivered it really well. Good coffee along with indie music helps to create a good area to put some work in. Wish they have a better wifi tho. read more
Coffee with a view of the water .. what's not to love! Whether you're doing some light shopping or taking the kiddos for a scoop of ice cream next door, Caffe Luxxe is a most. My husband and I stop in often for a quick latte and iced coffee. If you have a bit more time take a seat on there patio and sock in the sun. Such a beautiful location. read more
