    Burnt croissant
    Amy P.

    Nothing like a burnt croissant in the morning, as soon as he took it out of the warmer I could smell it was burnt so I know he could too. He hands me the croissant and it burns my hand bc it's clearly overcooked and too hot! If you mess something up, just fix it. It wasn't even edible. I could barely rip it apart and it would just crumble into bits. Thanks !

    The two cappuccinos I bought last Sunday were the most delicious I had in a while. I'm craving it as I write this. The coffee beans they use is amazing, fresh and rich in flavor. I'm very impressed and can't wait to go back. I have been at this plaza before but never stopped by to get coffee. From now on this will be a must stop for me. Great customer service great coffee. They also had freshly baked goods which I'll try next time. Outdoor sitting is nice specially on a winter sunny LA day.

    after hearing wonderful things about the voice here i decided to take s nice long walk with my dog there. moral of the story!!! they suck!! i waited 32 minutes in line, had my order taken, then told i had to leave!!! your dog isn't a service dog i was told. no signs, no advance notice. it's not an indoor establishment. no animals to place an order???? with this said i will never patronize this chain of business again. no transparency! all about the money money money. you suck!!! the first poor review i have ever written

    I can't complain about the sweet service and delicious matcha lattes here. So good! Yes they do validate for an hour so park in the lot and come on in! Ambiance is always clean and friendly here with seating out on the patio.

    overview: I came here on a whim for wanting a sweet treat after a filling meal at SUGARFISH. Just the smell that was coming out of this cafe was dragging me in. The place was lovely and really made me feel like in the holiday spirit. Workers were quick & kind. I could tell that they were very experienced baristas. drinks: Iced vanilla latte w/ oat milk & cinnamon 10/10. When I say this tasted exactly how I wanted it to... I mean it. I'm not a super strong coffee fan and this combo balanced it out so well. The cinnamon wasn't too overpowering and complemented the drink perfectly. It was genuinely one of the best coffees I've had. If I lived nearby, this would be my go-to cafe for sure. Cafe Nitro: This was my boyfriend's drink and he also absolutely loved it. It has candied orange which I never had with coffee before. It was surprisingly good.

    My friend and I stopped by after a run and each ordered a latte. A few minutes after we left, we realized we were craving a little more coffee in our drinks, so we decided to pop back in and ask if we could add an extra shot. Not only did the barista make them without hesitation--he gave us the extra shots on the house. We were not expecting that at all, and it genuinely made our day. He was so kind, didn't make us feel awkward for asking--just good energy and vibe. It's little moments like that that really leave a lasting impression. I wish I'd gotten his name (and the rest of the staff too), because everyone there was welcoming and easy to talk to. Can't wait to come back!

    Overpriced coffee, I wanted soy foam they do not have soy so I got oatmilk foam , but he poured a ton of milk in there and they would not make it again so I settled for this hot cup of coffee. If you wanna pay for overpriced coffee it's a cute place

    Nutella croissant
    Ivy L.

    Cute little coffee shop !! There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. I like that there's a lot of outdoor seating so you can sit and relax outside after shopping in the area. I came later in the day so I didn't grab a coffee but I got the Nutella croissant and it was delicious! Would definitely come back here to try their coffees.

    Caffe Luxxe is known as one of the pioneers of the third-wave coffee in Los Angeles and they opened the first café in Santa Monica (Montana Ave) in 2006. This is a secondary Santa Monica location and is located in Brentwood Country Mart. Free parking validation with purchase so don't forget to bring parking ticket with you. Staff was efficient and there was half a dozen outdoor tables (quite crowded) near the front entrance. I don't recall any indoor seating. *** Caffe Latte ($5.25): The drink was on the point with great balance on creaminess, smoothness, and aroma. Not the prettiest latte art, but I value taste over art. *** Caffe Luxxe really nailed down Caffe Latte - two big thumbs up!

    Lots of parking in the area, customer in front of me put down a black amex card, everyone here is totally in a different tax bracket from me but the coffee was good!

    With a line out the door you'd think that the espresso would be decent. It's not. Just overpriced and uninteresting.

But: They have a crazy attendant that spies where you are walking and decides how much you pay based on his opinion vs your receipt from the store and validation stamps. When I came back he said I owed him $15. I showed him my receipt but he claimed he watched me walk away and so validation doesn't count anymore. I refused to pay for his demand and he told me I am banned from the parking lot. He is on crack. Shame because tartine will lose clients because of this dudes behavior. I used to go several times each week but I can't deal with this guy making up rules depending on whether he likes you or not.

I can see why he loves it -- the egg tarts are very custardy and rich, with a lightly eggy flavor but the sweetness from heavy cream in each bite contrasting to the flaky crust.

We were delighted with the box of cookies and tarts that they brought from Paderia in Santa Monica. The chocolate chip walnut cookies were fat and soft with a slightly crisp exterior. The thickness of them allowed a plethora of rich chips to reside inside. I'm not a fan of chunks of nuts in cookies but these were chopped in tiny pieces, so did not take away from the overall soft texture. The soft peanut butter chocolate cookie was also a huge fattie with peanut butter chips within the chocolate cookie. Both were enhanced with a quick warm-up. I loved both of these cookies and think the chocolate chip is the very best you'll ever find. We also had Portuguese egg tarts. The pastel de nata (if I recall, this is what they are called) I ate was small but good, but I have had others that were more to my liking, with a sweeter custard and a more caramelized top, which I guess is a personal preference. Not to say it wasn't delicious - it was! I love the cookies so much I'll be checking out their Irvine location soon, which is much closer to me.
