    Best almond croissant I have ever had
    Trilby T.

    Best almond croissant I have ever had , and wonderful mocha not to sweet and just delicious. I will go back for sure . Excellent place

    Alyssa A.

    I always LOVE trying new coffee shops, so you know I was excited to visit. I don't know too many coffee houses in the Santa Barbara area yet, so this was a great introduction. Lovely little shopping center with a wide variety of different shops. Caffe Luxxe was right in the middle of the action with great indoor and outdoor seating options to fit your mood. Wanted to try one of their seasonal drinks (gotta finish out the fall season strong!), and their Dolcezza was delish. A little sweet but hits that great pumpkin flavor. Where they shined, though, wasn't with their drinks but with their food. Wish I remembered the name of the sandwich, but it was a baked egg sandwich on a brioche bun with like a chipotle aioli sauce. It was incredible! Checked all the boxes and left me so satisfied. Parking can be a bit rough - the lot is definitely tight as well as busy. Just be aware of your surroundings. Overall, a good choice for coffee when in the area!

    Caffe Luxxe is surreptitiously placed in the Montecito County Mart and has all the bells and whistles of a great cafe. Sophia was helpful and informative as she took my order and answered questions I had about the pastries. . There's an oblong communal table in the center of the cafe' if you like quietly mingling with the regulars and locals. They also have great gifts and merchandise for purchase. I needed a birthday card for a friend back home so I snagged one of those. . The matcha I ordered was decent. Lightly sweetened and not too cold, just how I like it. If you're looking for a quiet place to read, study or grab a small bite or coffee in the SB/Montecito neighborhoods , this place will deliver! Thanks for reading and breaking bread with me!

    Mocha, lemon bar and Guava Cheese Danish.
    Lou H.

    Parking can be an issue but I lucked out after a lap around the small lot. Nestled between the strip of stores and Pavilions in the Montecito Country Mart, it can be sort of tricky to find, but just walk as if you're going to enter Pavilions and look to your left to find this hidden gem. As I walked up I noticed the patio was full, inside was empty, and the place was spotless. The staff promptly greeted my buddy and I, and were quick to answer any questions we may have. I felt warmly welcomed and my buddy mentioned how nice it was. As with any cafe, I had a hot mocha in a mug, sat and enjoyed the ambiance while people watching. The chocolate was tasty and didn't overpower the espresso, a perfectly balanced mocha, enjoyable to the last sip. The lemon bars were small but tasty, coated in a powder sugar that had me wanting to lick the plate. The guava cheese danish was the best part, better than the ones Porto's are known for, delicious to the last flake of pastry. After all was said and done I sat there thinking "that was one of the best mochas I've ever had, and the best guava cheese danish." I thanked the staff for the mocha, confirmed what kind of chocolate they use as I swear I've had it before, and instantly told everyone in my office to try this place out. My boss already bookmarked it and will try it on his way to work. I'm excited to try their espresso beans on my espresso machine at home, but somehow I don't think I'll be able to replicate the delicious mocha and experience without coming back to Caffe Luxxe. Well that's this critic's review.

    Masala chai latte with a pump of vanilla taste sooo good here. I order this with regular milk warm instead of cold. Quality ingredients really help. The staff is amazingly friendly. $5 for a cup is extremely reasonable for this area. Be prepared for a consistent line at all times because people love it. Parking is difficult in the front but there is a back lot too. Thank you for waking me up today Caffe Luxxe. Bravo!

    If you want great coffee this is the place to try. They offer lots of drinks that are made just right. I tried one of their holiday drinks and it was truly rich! It is quite nice as soon as you walk in someone begins to take your order and then someone else charges you. It makes the line flow on by so just be prepared to order. They have so many delicious pastries just wish I would have asked to have mine warmed up. They have plenty of seating inside and outside where you can bring your work.

    I just want to let all customers know they close earlier. I checked the hours on Yelp and it said they were open until 4:00 pm today so I drove over there, arrived at 3:50 and the door was locked so I couldn't get in. although there were some customers inside. I got disappointed. But don't take it wrong, normally I love their coffee and service. I'm sharing my experience so you don't have to try and go. I went to Starbucks instead ( that's another option. just in case when you have the same experience as mine)

    Vegan pasties. Yeah. Same ambience. Friendly cute seating areas inside and out. Easy parking at the Vons Pavilion Montecito mart. Sadly $1 up charge for plant based milk. Next door is only 50'upcharge.

    Cafe shakerato & chocolate chip cookie
    Savannah D.

    The coffee here is so delicious! I've tried the cafe shakerato & the iced caramello, and they're both amazing! As far as food, I've just tried the chocolate chip cookie, but it was amazing as well! The male barista making the coffees with the glasses is super sweet too!

    Matcha Latte with extra matcha...
    Catherine P.

    I can't lie this is by far the worst matcha I've ever had. I asked for extra matcha powder, so I'm assuming the regular matcha is even paler. As soon as my friends and I took a sip, we each cringed because it tasted like they just poured milk into a cup. Honestly a sad excuse for a matcha especially because it was $7.50. Do better please.

    I'm totally puzzled why anyone would choose the other coffee shop in the same center when Cafe Luxxe is here. It's so cozy and inviting, you just can't resist! The employees were incredibly friendly. I wish I could come back more often, but it's quite a drive for me. I tried their Iced Cafe Mocha with Oatmilk and the Roasted Turkey Quiche. That Quiche was so good, it barely made it to my car! I can't wait to visit again.

I ended up pulling two coffee bags -- one for me (Brazil) and one as a gift for my sister (Gibraltar). I would love to be able to try the entire assortment of coffee beans. Love the packaging. The ambiance is open and spacious inside. Lots of space for seating indoors and there are places outside as well. I noticed a lot of students would come here to study or others who would go there to meet with friends or just a place to hang out. I would come back for sure next time I am back in the area and would like to try a food item next time and a matcha drink next time.

I have to say that I was a little disappointed in the way they served the Affogato. The ice cream looked like they scraped the bottom of the barrel and not whole scoops! Hence the 4 stars. It didn't look pleasing to the eye, but luckily the taste made up for it. They also offer lite bites and empanadas from Buena Onda. I haven't tried the food yet, but I have tried Buena Onda and I can vouch that they are my favorite! The views here are priceless on a clear sunny day. The patio area faces the harbor with boat views. They also have Wi-Fi here; which is convenient for anyone using their laptop. The only thing I don't like is there's too many flies inside. Mainly where you order. Hopefully they order a fly zapper or trapper, because they are annoying lol. Overall, this coffee spot is worth checking out despite the flies. Sit outside and you'll be fine.
