I came to this Coffee Luxxe this morning right when they open to try their hot chocolate and chocolate croissant. The hot chocolate was delicious and the croissant was good. I found parking easily since I came in the morning and the workers are very nice. Customer service here is top notch.

I had a refreshing drink here in a hot spring afternoon which revived me. Jeremy and his colleague (I forgot her name, and she was the one suggesting the heavenly drink) are super friendly and fun. I'll definitely go back to taste the coffee next time i'm in town. Update after three months: As promised, went back for an oat latte, loooooved it, especially while sitting in the sun. Jeremy and other guys are amazing as always.

Really good coffee. Amazing presentation. Variety and good options for all tastes and desires. Very satisfying experience. Love this little shop… And sometimes they have questions to wake me up to reality I want to create for myself. Great idea to start a fire for someone’s growth.

The coffee was simply amazing, boasting a rich taste complemented by a delightful splash of prosecco. Paired with a croissant filled with turkey and Gruyere cheese, the experience was elevated even further. The ambiance was excellent, and the service was top-notch. I'm genuinely impressed by the quality of coffee they offer and will definitely be returning for more.

Parking is valet or street, and street parking is difficult on weekends. Located in the wealthier part of Santa Monica, the cafe offer a similar experience. We felt welcome and promptly greeted. The pasties looked small batch with slight variations between the same items. The butter croissant tasted fine. The cafe Nico latte was delicious, and the barista did a great job with the latte art even though it was oat milk. Would recommend if you can solve the parking situation.

Got a latte made with almond milk it was average no complaints but, a bit overpriced for what you get. They have some nice outdoor seating, as well as some indoor. It’s very busy because the country mart is a great fun spot. I would probably just get a coffee and pastry from the farm shop which is no less expensive but I like it better. I will have to try their croissants in the future, they looked good.Also not that it is any doing by the cafe but the parking is free with validation but it was filled up like it usually is on the weekend and a spot opened and they told me I could only valet it for an extra 5 bucks which seemed odd.

Attentive baristas and friendly service. Ordered a dry cappuccino-more foam less milk. Perfection. Ginger snaps were solid as well.

It's ok. Very cute cafe, nice atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating However, the cold brew and iced lattes we had were.... Lacking. Odd aftertaste. Not strong enough. Just not to our taste.

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.

I stopped by after picking up a book at the at the book store next store. I got their signature caffe shakerato and it was really good the chocolate wasn't over powering. The drink was really good and something I would order again. I really like the layout and simplicity of the cafe. Definitely a welcoming place to go to if you want to get some work done in their patio.

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.

They make delicious unsweetened matcha lattes. The staff is nice and the location is excellent at The Brentwood Country mart. They have a few outdoor tables, excellent to relax and people watch.

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

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.

I have a coffee bean subscription from Caffe Luxxe and I have found that not only is the coffee excellent- the customer service is stellar! Wish they had a location in the Valley.

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!

Love this cute, little coffee shop in Brentwood Country Mart. Their mocha lattes are delicious and they have plenty of pastries to choose from too! You can get oat milk or almond milk in your coffee for an extra $1. Don't be intimidated by the long line - they move pretty quickly.

Was taking a neighborhood walk and decided to stop by Caffe Luxxe for a coffee. I got the shakerato, which was delicious! Really friendly staff and good coffee. My friend always gets coffee beans from there and now I can see why. Great little shop and will be back again.

Caffe Luxxe is a beautiful place that I would recommend you to take a friend, grab coffee and just talk about life. The atmosphere gives you more of a European feel where you can sit and just talk for hours. My wife and I came through for a morning coffee date and the coffee did not disappoint. I had The bee mine latte which had a rich flavor and beautiful foam art , I was very impressed with what I received. My wife had a Carmelo latte which is a latte made with caramel similar to a caramel macchiato, The problem was that she got it iced and the caramel set at the bottom of her latte. We then shared a waffle, sun-dried tomato, danish, with an egg and spinach breakfast sandwich, all of which were delicious. Really enjoyed the savory flavor from the Danish as well as the sweetness from the waffle. The one complaint I would have is that the service was a little busy and a little forgetful. I had to remind them about one of my products and they took a decent amount of time to get our stuff out to us. Made me feel a little embarrassed like we did too much at the front counter. Besides all of that, I'd highly recommend this place to grab breakfast, sit down and enjoy time with your loved ones. Happy Saturday!

Love this coffee place! Super cute village setting in Brentwood village. Lovely start to the morning with Barrista made coffee. I love the matcha tea and cafe latte. Today I had the cafe latte with almond milk. The foam was done perfectly on top illustrating a heart. Happy start to my morning. Great service and good snacks.

Nice cafe in Brentwood Outdoor seating only and appreciate staff to hold others accountable with mask requirements indoor. Oat latte was great, had smooth taste. I like the beans they use.

Among the best coffee pour overs I've ever had. Paired with the egg and spinach biscuit makes a delicious hearty breakfast! The staff is very friendly and down to earth. They even seem to have regulars. This place is great for getting quality breakfast to-go or dining there with a friend or client. Definitely a go-to if you're looking for something more than the basic Starbucks.

Brentwood location- solid tasting coffee. Small shop with ample outdoor seating & unique coffee menu. They have a Caffe Shakerato and Caffe Frizzante, you don't find these everywhere.

I had another review of my direct personal experience at this Cafe Luxxe posted here that Yelp has now removed saying that it wasn't based on my personal experience of this business which was not the case as clearly stated in the review. If Yelp can't see fit to repost that review, then I'll be forced to stop using Yelp. Yelp has been known for being willing to post the good and the bad but now I see that is not the case.

My favorite coffee in LA! The espresso is amazing. I usually get the Gibraltar but have gotten other drinks as well. Nothing beats it!

Before Los Angeles' coffee scene left behind flavored syrups and into beautifully executed espresso shots, there was Caffe Luxxe. There is a reason why this Café has been at this location for at least a decade: the beans are good, the espresso is good, and the baristas are great! NICO is like drinking Christmas in an espresso glass. The LATTE is strong and so good. The COOKIES were good and kinda pricey. TIP: Grab a scoop of ice cream of ice cream from Sweet Rose Creamery next door and make your own affogato. TIP: Brentwood Country Mart has their own parking lot.

I'm so obsessed with Caffe Luxxe coffee... by far the best coffee in LA. I had it once and now I can't stop! This spot is super cute in the Brentwood Market. Their iced cappuccino is incredible! They have other treats too. You can sit on the benches outside to enjoy (Covid).

Located in the charming and historic Brentwood County Mart, this is a chill place to stop by and have a coffee or other beverage (the matcha oat drink is great) and a pastry on the way home or while walking the dog or to chat it up with a friend. Best time for me is in the mid afternoon when it's not too crowded. The drinks and service are spot on good! So much more character and warmth than the stark cookie cutter corporate vibe across the street at Starbucks!

This is my FAVORITE Coffee shop in all of Los Angeles. Their coffee is truly amazing, and so are their pastries. The staff is extremely friendly, notably Jason, Jose, and Katie. I go to this place almost every morning after my workout. Everyone has their go-to coffee order, but mine is an iced vanilla latte with almond milk and light sweetener, and it's fantastic. I've ordered this same order at countless places around LA and haven't found one nearly as good. The line can get long, but you won't be waiting more than 10 minutes as the staff works super efficiently. Be prepared to spend $5-$7 for a cup of coffee, but it's worth every penny. I look forward to my morning coffee every single morning! I HIGHLY recommend you give this a try, even if you think you have found "your coffee shop" as I think Caffe Luxxe may change your mind.

Love this cafe! Located in a super cute neighborhood of Brentwood. Parking is a challenge but if you're lucky you can snag a spot in the lot. Ordered two beautiful created (latte art) organic vanilla lattes, the baristas were welcoming. There is no seating inside (maybe due to Covid restrictions), patio seating is available.

The workers were so nice. The customers were all nice! The lemonade, as my daughter said "is so fresh!". And the coffee?! Crazy good. Iced oat milk lattes with an add shot are highly recommended. Oh, and the bathroom is very clean! And they sell cute cards and little things like fancy mustard.

First off, if I could give more than 5 stars I would! This place is a gem - not only is the coffee delicious but the staff is so welcoming and friendly that sometimes I come just to see them! I could totally make coffee at home but I don't because I love Luxxe so much and want to support them in every way!

I'm very boring when it comes to ordering coffee... I'm just a black coffee kind of gal, but I must say that Caffe Luxxe serves great coffee. I particularly like their Casetta blend. It's a perfect purchase for parking validation ;) It gets a little crowded in here and find they never have glasses available for their water pitcher, but you can simply ask the barista for one. Staff is friendly and I love perusing through the greeting cards while I wait. Line does get a bit slow since people order lattes and such.

Best Latte in town. Generally god selection of tasty breakfast treats but they vary store to store for reasons I cannot understand with the Brentwood location on San Vicente generally getting short changed.

Cute little village type coffee drop in spot with a few bar stools overlooking 26th street. They have lots of unique blends such as the Malibu brew which is pretty strong but oh so yummy if you're into coffee that has a jolt of intense flavor. It's a bit more pricey than your standard coffee shop even in LA, but that's to be expected in Brentwood.

Kristine A.

Yelp
Just follow the "scentalicious" aroma on 26th Street & you will find yourself at Cafe Luxxe. Although I'm a tea drinker, I wish the aroma came in candle form! Excellent Matcha Latte - one a purist will appreciate. The Barista was very pleasant and talented.

Stopped in for a coffee with a friend after a photoshoot and loved this place. The guy behind the counter was super helpful and knew I was interested in a larger drink and adjusted one of the dessert drinks to a larger quantity. It was a candied orange/ chocolate flavored drink and was very yummy and aesthetically beautiful. Outdoor seating is plentiful and they even have bar stool style seating inside. With a delicious ice cream store right next-door you could enjoy a hearty affogato and spend a whole afternoon here chatting away with friends. Can't wait to come back.

Kids wanted ice cream and this mother of multiple kids needed something more to keep up with them for the rest of the day. Luckily, this coffee spot was right next to an ice cream place so it was already a good sign for me. The coffee place is not that big but there are few seats inside and outside. Although a lot of people were inside the line went quick. I got suggested from the cashier and got a latte. The cup was small and made me wonder how much caffeine is going to be in that thing but surprisingly there was pretty descent amount to get me through the rest of the day. The latte was so smooth and I barely added sugar but it was sweet enough that I think for the first to time ever, I used less than one pack of sugar. The coffee is so flavorful and wasn't bitter at all. It was bold, creamy and mild. This place is located in the Brentwood marketplace. A great find in Brentwood.

Their iced mocha is my go to drink, not too sweet and the quality of their coffee and chocolate is outstanding. Service is fantastic, very friendly and helpful, drinks made to order quickly and perfectly. Prices are on par with other coffee places though I feel the quality and flavor here is far superior to large national chains. They have a few desserts and small trees available, though the coffee Alon is worth returning for, highly recommended!

Tried Caffe Luxxe for first time this week after spin class and have to say I'm a soon to be regular!! Parking: free 90 min validation (or 2 hour from SoulCycle) in their front lot is plenty. Ambiance: high class chic coffee bar but without the pretense. Staff: super friendly. First time there and wasn't sure what I wanted, they asked me a few questions and said let them take care of making the right drink (would make something else if didn't care for it). It was awesome!! Coffee: both their pour over coffee and espresso based drinks are fantastic!! Especially loved the Gibraltar. Food: nice chocolate croissants and scones. All in all, really awesome little coffee shop in Brentwood and can't wait to come back!!

I normally consider myself an espresso purist, but Caffe Luxe's "Caffe Nico" espresso shot with orange spritz and cinnamon puts a joyous bright refreshing twist to break the mundane! But a word of caution to the puritans, the "Caffe Nico" is more like a dessert coffee--it's (pleasantly) very sweet!

One of my favorite cafes, the coffee and pastries are always great. I always get iced vanilla latte with oat milk and kouign amann or blood orange muffin. Gives off pta mom groups but still really cute. Coffee keeps the bowels functioning.

One of the better coffee shops I have been to. Love coming here after a bike ride. This place is close to the very popular cycling meeting point at 26th and San Vicente. Great for a pre or post ride cappuccino.
