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.

What a wonderful tasty ginger mint tea! This tea has a prefect blend of ginger and mint! This a fur baby friendly cafe. There is seating inside as well outside. The pasties look delicious. I didn’t try them (cutting back on my carbs). This is a friendly cafe with many locals stopping in. I enjoyed the chilled vibe here. Really cool trendy crowd. Great music with minimal noise levels. Parking is limited. Street meter parking is available if you can find parking.

Crowded, lack of coffee supplies, and low energy staff members on my first visit this season. On my second visit - better energy and engagement with customers. One individual, in particular, was doing his best to engage customers, complimenting them, and ensuring they had a great experience. It was like night and day between the first visit and the second visit. Quality of product does not live up to expectations. Whereas visiting the Malibu store the quality of product is as expected! Go figure.

A very nice coffee shop in a nice neighborhood with good selection of speciality coffee. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

I've visited cafes on five continents, and this is among the very best. The coffee beans are exceptional, and the execution is equally good. The Americano was appropriately dense, with a wonderful balance of acidity and bitterness. No sugar or milk needed. The baked goods are of matching quality, with scones that are fittingly dense with just a hint of sweetness. Best of all is the communal nature of the spot, with patrons eager to converse. And this, my friends, can't be bought or sold. We'll be back!

Today was my first time to Caffe Luxxe. I ordered a regular cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. Both were excellent, the croissant especially was much better than what I’d expect from a coffee shop. It was one of my favorite chocolate croissants in recent memory. The cappuccino was also delicious, just the right amount of coffee flavor to milk. The milk art was wonderfully done. Service was efficient and friendly. The location was also very clean and modern.

Someone recommended this place for their authentic Parisian pastries and coffee drinks. Modern feel to the atmosphere, very pleasant. Was able to find seating. Friendly, efficient baristas. The line was almost out the door (disappeared soon enough and was never long again, once I sat down). The Cafe Nico drink was more amazing than I could have imagined. Full of a perfect mix of flavors. The pastry I got was tasty, as well. It had fruit and cream cheese, with a flaky texture. Wish I could remember what it was called. Would definitely come back, especially for the coffee.

I would give zero if there was zero option. They don’t deserve any star. I had gone to this place few times and was never impressed. I had tried different latte’s mocha’s pastries etc was really never impressed. Many times I thought their coffee and pastry is subpar and tastes not good. Not fresh. Not appealing. The first sip doesn’t give you the joy of drinking coffee in the morning. But it gives you a weird taste and feeling that you wished you hadn’t spent $$$$ on their subpar coffee and pastries. Today I just happened to be near their store. I thought I give it one more shot. Waited in line patiently. When I was in line to order drink for to go I noticed a golden retriever puppy standing near a table that its owner was sitting. That puppy was cute and hyper but sweet. When finally was my turn this African American young guy with a thousand attitude in his manner of interaction and speaking asked what I want. Asked for here or to go I said to go. Then with another thousand bitter attitude and rude voice said you can’t stand here and order with a dog. My little dog was so well behaved and calm that I even forgot he was with me. He is a small clean cute well behaved mini golden doodle. Weighs only 19 Ib. He just turned 2 few days ago. What’s absurd is that I had ordered it for to go. I wasn’t going to sit there. When he told us leave. I said look there is another dog here inside your store sitting next to its owner. White his owner on computer. He said well I don’t know. So he totally discriminated against me and my quiet little puppy. After waiting in line forever I left their ugly store without a coffee. But listen up guys. This is Santa Monica. People here for most part giving out good vibes. And in the mornings lots of them are walking their pups and on the way they come to grab a coffee during their walk. If you have this much bad vibes and hate your life just take your business and go to another town. Don’t ever come back here. Why would you wake up to come to work in this area to ruin people’s mornings. Why would you discriminate in broad daylight. It wasn’t just me that her jaw dropped. Everyone at store started staring at him for his such bad people skills and rude demeanor. Guess what your coffee and pastries are garbage. Your treatment of people and your discriminatory attitude is garbage. Your prices are high for pieces of garbage. Just go away. Let another bright person rent this space with bright ideas that is not on a mission to ruin people’s mornings.

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 wanted the caffe shakerato but no added sugar/syrup besides the chocolate and it was so good! Velvety soft and perfectly flavored, I was totally enamored.

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. ; )

Super popular cafe. Solid coffee - often samples available - and seasonal menus too! While the line was long during my last visit, my latte was the quickest brew of all time! My order was to-go so I didn't get to enjoy the ambiance much, but it was a crowded space. We took our coffee to-go!

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.

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.

The first time I went I was not a fan. But I believe all places deserve a second chance and my second time here was much better. The vanilla latte I got was just the right amount of sweetness and I was happy I decided to come back. The line moved quickly and accommodated the big group I can with.

Love the coffee I have been buying the beans from Erewhon. Decided to go to the cafe for the first time. The barista was rude and didn't want to explain the type of drinks on the menu. I will continue to buy products online but not visit this cafe location. The vanilla latte was not sweet like I had asked the barista to make it.

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. Chill place to have a coffee and catch up with a friend!

drove from oc to get this coffee and will tell you right now that it was completely worth it. contemplating coming back tomorrow to get one. i got an almond milk latte added cinnamon powder and got a pump of vanilla, it was the perfect flavor and color as well! it was $8 which in my opinion is kind of pricey for this basic order, but it is la prices so its understandable. i would love to come try it again!! please open one in oc :)

never disappointed with the coffee here. from drip coffee to lattes to specialty items, this place has amazing coffee. the lemon bars also rock your world. I love the decor and the cursive gifts they offer. there is always a line at this location but it's worth the wait. many locals are here sipping on their brew and working but tourists definitely visit as well. the baristas are friendly however this last visit one of them seemed over worked and flustered but he wasn't rude at all, just stresses.

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.

Great coffee. Snobby staff. Rolls eyes. Busy Saturday, Made remarks to what must be a regular customer "to tell everyone else to leave" since the line was out the door. It was a joke but kills the vibe of ordering some coffee. Need better attitude.

It was a very long wait last Saturday because they were shortstaffed. I felt so sorry for the guy that was waiting on me. But I will tell you this it's worth the wait. I love the cappuccinos. Each one is work of art. There's a reason if a lot of people come.

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.

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.

I'm an absolute lover and fan of caffe luxxe but this location was meh. Both the caramel macchiato and mocha were not to drool for. They were very watered down, not hot, even though they were freshly made and too sweet. I usually crave each and every drop but they were not worth the calories and price. Disappointed. On the plus side though, the interior is extremely cute. The decor is very nice. They also sell pastries, vinegar etc from Italy, greeting cards. Restrooms available. They also have a cute patio outside which is basically a blocked off parking spot right outside the establishment. Very nice area to sip and sit.

Thanks to an Elite Yelp event I found this place. Friendly service and a long line up but I didn't mind since the coffee here is so smooth and tasty! Lineup went quickly. A huge hang out for the locals. I ordered the cappuccino this time because someone in the line said it was really good. With real milk.

SO pretentious! Waited over 20 minutes in line for mediocre coffee made by a snotty hipster who seemed to think they were better than everyone because they work at a coffee shop on Montana. Go literally anywhere else!

Iced cafe latte - expensive and mediocre coffee. Usually don't like adding sugar but this needed it. The patio area was nice to sit at.

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.

I'm glad I tried this place! It gets crowded fast, but while you're waiting there's plenty of things to browse through! There's magazines, books, seasonings, and self care products! Ordered the Cafe Shaketero with oatmilk and it was actually pretty good, and refreshing. It wasn't too sweet or too strong, made just right.

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!!

Nice quick coffee and pastry place off trendy Montana in Santa Monica. There's metered parking in front and across the street. Seems like they get a lot of regulars. They have about 10 seats inside and some outside by the sidewalk. They are personable and accommodate special requests. I got a latte and croissant and vegan scone. Croissant was just fine. Nothing great. My latte design was so so. :( finding a vegan scone is rare. My daughter said it was good. $17.50 for all that.

The wait was worth it. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the coffees excellent (fresh-brewed Montenero and a perfect cappuccino). I'd gladly return on every visit to Montana Avenue. Thanks Caffe Luxxe!

I ordered the caramello cappuccino with half sweetener and my friend ordered the shakerado. There was a small line when we walked in but it moved quickly. The baristas were very friendly and answered my questions about the menu. There is both inside and outside seating available, the inside we too packed to get a table for two so we sat outside and it was very lovely!

The inside of this place is nice and clean. There is an enjoyable, calming vibe with plenty of seating. They have a nice selection of pastries and other goodies. I wasn't sure what to get so I asked one of the servers what he would recommend. He asked a few questions that led us to my drink -- Caffe Shakerato (Espresso in milk with dark chocolate, hand shaken). It was exactly what I needed for a hot afternoon. The coffee flavor and sweetness of the chocolate were on point. I paired that with their shortbread cookies which went perfectly well with my drink. The parking in the back gets pretty packed due to the high volume business area, but the street parking in the residential area is plentiful (limited to 2 hours). The service was quick and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend this cafe in Santa Monica. You can sit inside or outside. There's a ton of other nice looking places around to eat and shop, so you can take a stroll around the area. Next time you are looking for something out of the ordinary Starbucks trip, try this place. It's a sweet little treat!

Their vegan ham and cheese croissants and their brown sugar 1/2 sweet cold foam cold brew is so good!

Very friendly and tasty drink & food! Heard so much of good things about Caffe Luxxe and even Erewhon recently started carrying their beans. Got a ham&cheese croissant (generous portion!) and a Caffe Nico in a latte style. Caffe Nico is a "frothy espresso drink featuring a double shot of espresso, half & half, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a nice citrus jolt". The barista explained in details that it comes in a shot cup if prepared traditionally. Was told it can be prepared in a cappuccino or latte style if I want. I opted for a latte with Caffe Nico and wow! The body of coffee bean is very vibrant with just the right amount of sweetness by cinnamon & citrus!

Love the early morning walk up from Santa Monica Boulevard and the tasty coffee or mocha to start the day. Though I'm not a resident in Santa Monica, I make it a point to come here while my car is being serviced and get my morning walk. Folks behind the counter focus on me and listen to any quirky question I have. Always appreciated. Cannot guarantee that always as personnel come and go, and I don't go that often. The morning is busy, but there are regulars, commuters, dog-lovers, etc., who remind me that a new day is afoot. Plenty of seating, inside and out. As I go early, if I drive there, I usually can find parking nearby.

Came on a Sunday afternoon and parked for free on 9th street, which is just a short stroll from the cafe. There's a good amount of indoor and shaded outdoor seating. But on a particular crowded day, I did notice that most people took their coffee to-go. The counter has a nice selection of sweets so get your cup of coffee with a pastry or two. Their coffee blend is overall pretty mild, which is great for noncommittal coffee dabblers or casual drinkers who exclusively drink lattes.

Was in the neighborhood so rolled over for a drank. Had an iced latte that was excellent. Super hearty, full bodied espresso roast. Grabbed an almond croissant and it was superb. Very flakey with a bit of a crunch and excellent marzipan like filling. So nice to sit on their spacious sidewalk patio and get some sun on this chilly day. Lovely time. The service was very friendly and welcoming. Thanks y'all.

I dropped by here for the Yelp elite event as a first timer at this cafe, so naturally I asked the barista for their recommendation. She said that the caffe shakerato was unique to their chain, and it was a must try so I ordered it. Its an iced drink so it was perfect for LAs hot weather these past days. I'm not much of a sweet drink type of person, but this drink was perfectly balanced out with delicious dark chocolate, espresso, and milk. I will definitely be coming back, this drink surpassed my expectations, and I paired it with their cute mini muffins. Which by the way, are also delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu

*I would normally post this on the Yelp elite event page but as one does not exist for this location I am posting this here as it seems that's what other elites are doing as well* Really glad Yelp decided to do an Elite Event because since the pandemic I haven't been back here in years. Thank you Yelp team for reintroducing me to a wonderful neighborhood spot. It was a nice surprise to see they now have outdoor seating with umbrellas. It's such a great little spot and I'm glad I can now sit and sip for a while. Alison made my day! Her joy was infectious. I will definitely make this a regular stop for my tea fix. Yes! They have tea! And not just some pathetic random tea just to have it, they have high quality loose leaf tea with several non-caffeinated options. That's what makes this place a winner for those who don't necessarily drink coffee. Also plenty of options for kids too - fresh juices and pastries. Free parking in the back or metered on the street.

This place is situated right on Montana Ave in Santa Monica in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. I've been to many of the coffee spots in the area and Caffe Luxxe ranks among one of the best. I tried the Caffe Nico and my wife had the Shakerato. Both were delicious. The pricing is pretty standard amongst all the other cafe's in the area. We'll definitely be coming back!

Tips: A great cafe to people watch and relax. No wifi so do not expect to be here for a long time. Pros: good coffee, nice seating, friendly service. A wonderful coffee shop with welcoming outdoor seating. I came in on a Monday morning after a 3 mile run and needed a pick me up before starting work. Excellent and welcoming service with a good variety of coffee beans and drinks to choose from. Drink rundown: I opted for the caffe nico which is a espresso mixed with cinnamon, orange and half and half. I love small coffees that are bold and this was the perfect option for sipping and people watching. Overall I truly enjoyed the drink and service and will definitely come back.

Caffe Luxxe is a great coffee shop (another location in Brentwood) that has delicious coffee, a great staff, and nice outdoor seating. And there are also pastries! Expect a decent line of ~5-7 regularly during the weekend. I got the Shakerato, a hand-shaken espresso with milk and dark chocolate) which was tasty and not too sweet. Worth the wait!

What an awesome find! This coffee shop in a neighborhood of Santa Monica is like a magic box. Looks small on the outside, but large, open and airy on the inside. With some tables inside and an added addition of tables outside you'll be able to find somewhere to sit--just check your seat before you sit outside because the tree while providing welcoming shade also loves to drop red berries on everything and anything. The shop inside offers way more than coffee and pastries. I was surprised to find a small retail section of sorts with everything from lovely smelling lotion (totally took a sample) to jam from the Pyrenees to shortbread from England. Who knew you could grab a coffee while also marking the gift shopping off your list? The staff is exceedingly friendly and my barista turned the Cafe Nico which normally is more like a dessert espresso shot to a candied orange, cinnamon latte for me. And yes, it was delicious. Open until 5pm. You shouldn't drink caffeine after 5 anyway kids. :)

I love their coffee! This is one of my top favorite places for coffee in Santa Monica. This time I came as a Yelp elite. Ordered my favorite drink which I usually get: a cold espresso mocha like drink. And Thank you for the goodie bag too!

Caffe Luxxe is the most darling little coffee shop. Immediately upon walking in, I felt the welcome and warm energy from the baristas and was drawn to the cute decor on the shelves! It was nice to see a cafe support other small, local businesses with products such as small kitchen goods, Rifle Paper & Co., and artisan lotions available for purchase. I ordered the English tea scone which was light and crisp, and the oat milk latte was so delicious! There are also a lot of other yummy bites like a quiche, croissants, and muffins for your choosing! Cameron came by to talk to us about their house blend and was gracious enough to us a small sample which I can't wait to try! Thanks for the great hospitality :)

This place sells beans. But then refuses to grind it for you. First time I've ever encountered this in the country. Outrageous, and the service makes this place not worth it.
