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.

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. Some places serve coffee. This one serves a little more hope with the foam.

It opens at 8am on the weekdays which is rather late for a coffee shop especially for one of the only ones in the area. I do love Cartel's coffee as it's not bitter and they have housemade plant based milk. My issue is the coffee shop/ brand is very inconsistent. Sometimes they will allow you to sub their specialty drink's milk and sometimes they won't. I'm allergic to nuts so I love their CCL but I cannot have nut based milk. Sometimes they will allow me to sub the milk and sometimes they won't. I also ask about their blueberry syrup in an iced latte and sometimes it's a yes and sometimes it's a no as they supposedly made an exact amount for every latte they sell. It becomes such a hassle as I don't like the syrup line they have (it has a sour after taste) so I try to stick with their house-made syrups. There is very limited options for coffee in the area so unfortunately I have to stick around arguing with the barista every now and again to get the latte order right.

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.

My favorites here are either the Augustine or Elias, depending on my mood. Both are phenomenal, not too sweet, and hits the spot as far as coffee goes. They've even gone out of their way to make my littles an iced 'hot chocolate', which they LOVED! The service is superb!!! The baristas (and even the owner who works at the shop occasionally) are extremely kind, and talk with you like an actual human rather than rushing to get you through the line, which is refreshing. Although it may look like a hipster vibe type of coffee shop, don't let that fool you. This is by far my favorite and, in my opinion, the best coffee shop in the area. Incredible coffee and superb service!

The quality of the matcha is good but I would get it plain next time or strawberry if it's a strawberry puree. Empanadas were pretty good and I would get them again. I do wish there was some spice though! All in all, I'll definitely be back

I love when a coffee drink is flavorful without being overly sweet, allowing the coffee itself to shine instead of being completely overpowered by sugar. The balance was just right!
