I usually stop here every time I come to Los Angeles. It's one of my favorite coffee shops. The roast hair tends to be a little darker. Which I prefer. I got here midday this time so there was no wait. The shop in the store seemed a little messier than normal so the ambience was like it typically has been and in the past, I found the service always be very very friendly today. They were OK nothing great nothing bad but not the normal experience. Regardless, it was a great cup of coffee. read more

Caffe Luxxe always has so many things I want to try. This is a popular location, with the line spilling out the door on the weekends. This is located in a very cute and walkable part of Santa Monica. They have a front patio area near the sidewalk and many people brought their pets to come hang out. There's parking in the back but the spots can be a bit tight. This smaller lot is shared amongst a few businesses so please make sure to read the signs before parking, to identify which spots belong to which businesses. This is a nice stop if you want to grab a quick snack or hot beverage before walking with friends to explore this beautiful part of Santa Monica. read more

Caffe Luxxe - Inside. I love their grey and yellow color scheme. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Ambiance: Cozy and inviting with that perfect artisanal coffee shop vibe. Definitely one of those spots that feels both polished and comfortable. Coffee: Delicious and thoughtfully made. I had their special coffee with orange flavoring and an espresso-based latte infused with orange essence. The bright citrus notes paired beautifully with the richness of the espresso, and it was perfectly balanced. A must try! Parking: Street parking only, mostly metered. Depending on the time of day, you might have to circle a bit, but it's manageable. Overall: This is the kind of place you'll want to keep coming back to. Great for getting work done (with hotspot because they do no have wifi), or just posting up with a friend for a really good chat. The staff is friendly, the drinks are excellent, and the space has a really good energy to it. Highly recommend! read more

Caffe Luxxe is an exquisite cafe and L.A.'s premiere coffee roaster. They're located in Montana ave in Santa Monica. They serve good coffee and tea drinks as well as pastries. I have drove by them a few time and finally got the chance to check-in today. I arrived early Sunday morning to grab a hot Caffe Latte and a Choco Croissant. Both items were good, however, I wish my croissant was warm. Service was spot on. Prices were a bit pricey but expected for the area. Indoor and outdoor seats were spacious. Atmosphere was relaxing. Staff were competent and professional. Street Parking only. Overall, it's modest coffee shop. read more

After a morning weekend walking event in Santa Monica, I stopped by Caffe Luxxe for a coffee pick-me-up. They were temporarily closed around 11 am and had a sign up that they would reopen at noon, but they ended up opening earlier when I walked by around 11:50 am. I parked at a small street around the block since part of the street parking on the main street were blocked for construction and walked to Caffe Luxxe. A line was already formed inside that almost reached the door, but they keep the line moving. I was debating between the Caffe Shakerato ($6.75 for 8 oz, which has espresso and dark chocolate) and the Caffe Nico ($7.50 for 8 oz, which has espresso and cinnamon), but ultimately decided on the Caffe Shakerato. I was appreciative that they were cool with using my reusable tumbler (as I continue on my quest to avoid disposable plastic). This chilled drink was so good, a delicious blend of coffee and chocolate! read more

Went to Cafe Luxxe on an early Saturday morning for a little pick me up and the line was long! I got the vanilla creme cold brew ($7.75) and was very excited to try it. I loved how the vanilla creme top was made there with my preferred milk of choice instead of it being premade. The cold brew itself however was a bit sour with the first sip I had. The coffee was strong but for a cold brew it was over brewed unfortunately. I really loved the Vanilla Creme top! read more

I'm a huge fan of their espresso based drinks, and it's one of the cafes that consistently make their espresso well. They also feature seasonal drinks that are fun to try, and right now, The Honey Buzz is our favorite - honey shaken iced espresso with a honey cold foam top. It's not overly sweet and the honey works very well with their espresso! Their beans are also great, especially the Montenero Blend and Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. There's also a bunch of apothecary goods that are made by them and I was shocked at first, but they do smell good! Decently sized with seating inside and out. Line can get a bit long during the busy periods but baristas are efficient and helfpul! read more

My friend Conrad and I are the same in a lot of ways but we are different in one significant way: I have evolved to be a foodie and he is still in his hatchling stage. It is such a pleasure to take Conrad to places like Caffee Luxxe, in Montana (obviously the street, not the state) because I get to see the joy that a croissant induces, when it is flaky and buttery. Professors pass knowledge unto others, designers pass on wearable art, psychics pass on fortune, and I am grateful to pass on experiences that help another understand that food and drink and space create memories that start in the taste buds and end in the soul. In short, this place is not a cafe stop, it is a destination for a dining experience in the morning. I also had never gone to a cafe Luxxe and the experience was stimulating for me, and I do not mean that because I drank coffee. I also experienced something new-- someone thought I had a job that I did not have, which is not new, because over the years I have been casted as a valet, security guard, busboy, clerk at a gift shop and other varied staff members that hold perfunctory roles. But this time, I was casted as an actor. A guy complimented me on my "Luke's" shirt that was placed over a yellow cup. For those who might not know, these are emblems that are known to Gilmore Girls fans. As we sat, he kept looking at me. I offered him one of our spare seats, which in truth was a commodity as the place was packed. Conrad and I got lucky to find a table. The guy said, "were you on the show?" I said no. The refreshing way I was casted into a role left me in awe. I have my beliefs as to why he thought I was an actor, but, those do not belong on a Yelp so I will make a turn and pivot to the line. The line was long. To be fair, we were there on Sunday around 11:00 a.m. prime coffee time. So we waited, I took pictures. The place was super cute, like a dream colored steel but the steel did not feel cold, it felt like what a good cloudy day gives you when the cold is contained-- comfort in the fact that you did not have to be warmed to be happy-- which was good because when Conrad and I ordered we focused on iced coffee drinks. We did not get the name of the guy who helped us when we got to the front of the line. But he deserves his props-- even though the line was long he took the time to celebrate when I informed him it was his first time, and he had a way to work and pacify both a rookie and 20 year veteran of the foodie field. And he did all this when the line was long- I hope he gets identified because service like his matters to elevate coffee ordering to a customer experience revolving around coffee. Conrad asked, "give me something relating to a Vanilla iced coffee." I internally cringed. That question was asking a cake maker of known frosting, he can make something close to a jelly donut. But to continue this metaphor the baker did not smirk or chuckle veiling condescension (which is what I feared) instead he offered a recently fresh beignet with raspberry compote, where the berries were picked from the facility's rooftop garden, and was dusted with edible silver. I jumped into the roaster's response: he offered Conrad an iced coffee with anniversary blend, and some vanilla. I did not understand the exact words but I heard some of them and knew this was a respectful response to Conrad's broad request. He was a professional. I also ordered a croissant for Conrad, and a blueberry muffin for me, and also two lemon squares, and I also ordered a Shakerato. I wanted to try the menu. The professional roaster told me that the joint did not have blenders thus this was their response to a blended drink, like a frappuccino but here. Another roaster shook two coffee cups together to make the drink. Yes, it gave a person making a Margarita at a bar. But the result was a balanced marriage of coffee (a shot of espresso?) and coffee. It was deeply sweet-- and it had a chocolate ring. It was the type of drink that is perfect for an adult, who has learned that the sweetness of cookies and cakes from the store are cloying. Meaning that the goodness of this drink was a novelty to me, as soon as I finished it I knew I needed a new one. This place had everything I could ever want from a morning coffee stop. It helped me enjoy what I sip, it helped engage in what I saw, and it made me feel like I was a customer who was appreciated in a busy moment, instead of a customer who needed to be moved along cause the line was stacked. The experience was a swirl! read more

Um, asked for cold brew no ice and they filled it to here. Oddly, at the Country Mart store this wouldn't happen. May we do math? It's maybe 2 ounces at a COGS of...5 cents per marginal ounce? That dime cost you an extra cup (over 5 cents), a lost LONG TERM customer, and this delightful review. BTW, I'm at the BCM 2x per week, and went to the PCH Malibu store yesterday. They are great. Do better. Response from manager neglected to say that the person who ordered asked for the cup to be filled higher, and was told no. Dumb. That cost you a customer x 2. Hello Primo Passo. read more

Really solid coffee at Luxxe. Can't say it's top tier cause very few places get that distinction in my book. Not to diminish what is served here. The staff is super friendly and this location is lovely and spacious. I had two drinks, but will only review the Americano and the pastry as those were purchased items. Both solid. It's definitely a great place in Santa Monica. read more

Stopped by for an after-meal coffee and opted for the seasonal special, the lavender foam vanilla cold brew. The lavender foam was decent, but the cold brew tasted oddly medicinal? Not the best coffee I've had, but not the worst. Maybe I chose the wrong drink, but it wasn't my favorite. read more

Cute little spot on Montana! Be prepared to wait a bit, but I'm sure you'll have lots of cute dogs accompanying you in line. The outdoor seating is pretty peaceful and cute! I loved the honey shaken espresso I got and actually found it cheaper than I was expecting. The food selection isn't presented well but I'm sure it tastes good. read more

Pretty standard coffee shop. Nothing blew me out of the water. Espresso wasn't memorable nor was the cold brew. Staff was friendly and they have indoor and outdoor seating here. read more

I gave this place three stars because the service was really good! There was a long line to get this coffee so I thought let me try it. I was really excited to try the cold brew with honey foam, but I have to say the coffee was not good. I was expecting a very smooth cold brew coffee, but it just tasted like it was Starbucks. The small coffee was overpriced and not worth the price. A small coffee was $7.75 which is overpriced for a tiny small cup. read more

C'era una regazza italiana....di firenze ( there once was an Italian girl from Florence that was my Italian tutor and my crush back when I was a student at Santa Monica College ) . For her birthday I really wanted to impress her and she was often always homesick. I knew about this cute little café, because I actually interviewed here for a job and met the very kind owner who was inspired by his travels in Italy, and wanted to open up a coffee shop that could compare to the high-quality espresso and espresso based drinks served in bars ( what Italians call cafés ) in Italy . This place did the trick ! I forget which drink I got her, but I remember the tears of joy swelling up in her eyes as she thanked me and told me that it was the closest thing that reminded her of home in a very long time. Long story short try this place, especially if you've been to Italy and you long for the robust and yet smooth café that you can't get at a "Starbucks " kind of establishment. No shade to Starbucks or those who love Starbucks ... just an acknowledgment that this place is in a league of its own. ; ) read more

I came to Caffe Luxxe before a book club walk on a Sunday, so of course the line was long but it moved pretty fast. The baristas were very friendly and helpful.

I've heard great things about Caffé Luxxe and finally checked it out today!! I got the Montenero cold brew with almond milk and vanilla and it was delicious but the real standout was the Shakerato!! It was chocolately and delicious but still subtle and not too sweet. The service was fast and friendly and there were so many people enjoying their coffees. So good! read more

Some of the best coffee in LA. Great quality and super consistent. Love their seasonal drinks like the strawberries and cream latte and the pumpkin spice. Just perfect. read more

Tried this place out because of a promotional they were doing with zibbys bookshop just up the street. I can't remember the exact name of my drink but it was passion fruit spritz with green tea. Very light flavor but very refreshing. My friend who got their peach palmer probably had the best drink. read more

Convenient and casual spot for a midday meeting with my boss. Small patio out front was filled by other patrons, but there are several tables inside as well. Less sunshine but an atmosphere conducive to conversation. The pastry case was a little low since we were post-morning rush, but they had a veggie quiche left which they warmed up for me and delivered to our table. It was piping hot, so please note you might burn your mouth if you rush into that one. Gibraltar was well crafted by a surly barista. We had two separate orders with two separate baristas, and it was like night and day. Not in terms of quality of beverage, but just personably. We definitely felt more at ease with the more pleasant one. Wouldn't stop me from returning for another well-made coffee. read more

What an incredible delight to have such engaged team members at one single location. I visited this location in the mid-afternoon when their selection of items were no longer available. They had a great substitute suggestion for each item I asked for. Through it all they were kind courteous and most of all providing legendary customer service. It isn't easy to maintain a calm disposition when one worries the customer might get aggravated or frustrated. My hat is off to these ladies for staying upbeat and positive to provide service with a smile regardless of having to redirect numerous times. read more

Soothing, smooth, fresh, and well balanced coffee. There's a lot of buzz nowadays about the ostentatious, colorful, multi-syrup coffee drinks. But I will always appreciate a simple, high quality cup of Joe. And that's exactly what you get at Caffe Luxxe. read more

I wouldn't come back here again. The café is pretty small and the customer service isn't that great here. The cold brew that I had l wasn't as tasty as the other shops nearby. Most of their packets are not labeled, but I recognize that this one was the olive one so I ordered this one. read more

Shakerato is my favorite drink. The baristas are fast and efficient working diligently to craft excellent beverages for each individual. They were slammed on a Saturday morning but kept the line moving without dropping their smiles. Validated parking in the lot is a big plus.

Super friendly people, excellent drinks and cookies, and plenty of space to sit inside and outside. Lots of Caffe Luxxe locations on the westside. Drinks (5/5) I got the iced mocha and my friend got a lemonade. Even the lemonade isn't just lemonade. It tasted like it had notes of ginger in it. The iced mocha was very refreshing and rich, unlike most iced mochas I've had. The chocolate chip cookie was gooey and sweet! Worth the wait to warm it up. Service (5/5) The baristas were very friendly, greeting us with smiles and acknowledging us as soon as we walked in. They asked if I wanted any type of milk with my mocha and listed all the options (I went with almond in the end for my iced mocha). The drink came out beautifully and perfectly prepared with her expert hands. The barista also offered to warm the cookie up without me asking, which was quite thoughtful. The two baristas thanked us and were happy to help with anything. Vibes (5/5) The coffee shop itself can seat many tables in the interior and exterior. Walking in that rich coffee smell hits you, and it's so memorable. Parking (5/5) -There's free parking lot in the back that's shared with other restaurants! Safety (5/5) -The outdoor area has many brightly colored tables off the street and many people walking by. read more

Anyone giving this place less than 5 stars doesn't deserve to ever drink good coffee. It's the only reason to come to Santa Monica and wait in traffic. There are a few coffee shops within walking distance on Montana, but it's the only one with cappuccino that isn't bitter. While you're there, grab some gingerbread cookies. Wouldn't recommend it for a place to set up and work but it's fair for a study date or quick snack. read more

I walked in here for a Yelp event and was shocked to see how cute this place is. It's a cozy coffee shop, with just enough space to make you feel like your away in an intimate setting. I noticed people sitting outside sipping coffee and pounding away on their computers, everyone looks pretty happy and relieved. Upon entering the coffee shop I was greeted by a happy young lady. I liked that. I enjoy being greeted with a smile and a happy attitude. I order an iced green tea and added vanilla syrup, my drink was/is awesome. I guess I was thirsty, because I drank half the cup before I left the inside of the shop I could honestly say, that just based on service alone, I will be a returning customer and a referring customer Thank you to both of the ladies that helped me out today, y'all were awesome!! read more
