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.

There is also plenty of food options on the menu from avocado toast to burritos. I will definitely be trying food next time. They also roast their own coffee in house (pictured) Speaking of the menu, it is busy and hard to follow and read all the amazing things they offer. Unable to make a decision from the menu, I did ask the cashier what she recommends and she was very insightful and kind. I got the cinnamon churro latte with oat milk and my partner got the toasted coconut banana cold brew and both were SO good. But I will personally be back for that so tasted coconut banana cold brew. 11/10. The 4 stars is simply because I could not follow the menu (although so adorable and changes monthly) and the seating inside being in very close quarters. There is adorable seating outside, but it's Arizona so not able to enjoy it this time around but come September/October it will be perfect.

It has an English feel about it. Staff are very nice and welcoming. I decided to try one of their homemade blueberry muffins. The muffin had a streusel top. The inside was soft, moist and full of blueberries. We might have a new contender for best muffin around. Guess I will have to try it again to determine the winner. LOL! I helped myself to one of the containers of lemon water. Tap water is also available. I sat in the nice plaza full of pomegranate trees. It was a bit warm as the fan missed where I sat. I would definitely return and try something else. Their pastries looked very tempting. Shared parking lot.

You walk up and order, get a number, grab a table, and they bring you everything. The coffee drinks are amazing. The lavender honey latte, the cookie butter cold brew, and the red velvet latte are downright addicting. The veggie wrap is awesome, as are the scones with brie. The butternut squash omelet is also a favorite. I don't know if they make their sourdough bread there, but I've never had better. We grabbed some pastries to go this time as well, so I can't wait to try them. It gets busy but they really hustle to keep everyone happy.

It has mostly American food but I like that there are some more unique options as well (I got the pork bahn mi sandwich). They do have a great selection of drinks, including beer and wine and some from local places and some delicious made in house deserts. The food was pretty good except the onion rings which were amazing! Some of the best I've ever had. The prices were a little steep but I guess that's what you pay for convenience. My favorite part of the restaurant is the patio. It's large and surrounded by native plants. So many places around here had carpets of fake plastic grass and a couple shriveled up non-native trees. The big native trees and wildflowers made it a great place to sit and enjoy the birds and butterflies!

There is lots of seating but it does fill up fast. The wall decor is so cool, with quotes from different famous musicians. My only complaint is that it wasn't the most relaxing because it was very crowded so we felt that we needed to hurry along to let others sit (but it was a rare rainy day, so there were lots of visitors and the outside patio was wet) Instagram: @msbusyblonde

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.

Always on the hunt for something healthy for lunch. We tried their Ruben since that's what they're famous for but subbed out the meat for turkey. Sandwich was delicious. The first time we tried their shrimp, lettuce wraps with the turkey Ruben and the second time we tried their summer rolls with the turkey Ruben. The only downside regarding the shrimp lettuce wraps, is that the lettuce didn't hold up very well even 10 minutes from the restaurant to our timeshare. Even though the lettuce was by itself next to the shrimp filling the lettuce wilted super fast. I do have to say the taste was on point though. Overall, their food tasted fresh, clean, and healthy. Since I was working, I forgot to take pictures of the food. My bad.
