Anyone giving this place less than 5 stars doesn't deserve to ever drink good coffee. It's the only reason to come to Santa Monica and wait in traffic. There are a few coffee shops within walking distance on Montana, but it's the only one with cappuccino that isn't bitter. While you're there, grab some gingerbread cookies. Wouldn't recommend it for a place to set up and work but it's fair for a study date or quick snack. read more

Caffe Luxxe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

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. read more

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! read more

They do a really good matcha latte and I also like their hot chocolate. I mostly get it to go but I have friends who love the ambiance and also vouch for the coffee being delic! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Overpriced. Pretentious. Waited far too long in line. Looked like the servers were moving in slow motion. Then was told I'd have to wait 7 minutes for a coffee. Ridiculous. Will never enter this establishment again. read more

The matcha was good luckily there was parking right in front so i was able to go in and out. The cashier was friendly and it was right down the street from lala so i got to indulge in double the matchaness muahahahaha read more

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. read more

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 read more

*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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Yum!!! I cannot wait to come back here and try even more drinks and goodies from the food menu. The staff was immediately welcoming and helped make me and my mom familiar with the menu. The barista (sorry I didn't catch your name!!) recommended the Cafe Nico and it was so delicious. The slight orange taste is what really makes the drink so wonderful. It is a wonderful local business with a beautiful interior design, kind baristas, and delicious coffee. Will be back again soon! read more

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. :) read more

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 :) read more

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! read more

This Caffe Luxxe is larger than the one located at Brentwood Country Mart and had more "market" offerings than the one on San Vicente. Also, finally, they have tester bottles for the soaps and lotions they're offering for sale. Chocolates, olive oil and other Goodes are for sale here too. Awesome. Their Nico is consistently good, no matter which location you go to. This branch has indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

I love CAFFE LUXXE and have been devoted for ten years. I subscribe to their coffee and their service it the best. I have always been grateful for their many kindnesses and generosity, timely and prompt service and attention. I can ask for a recommendation or if there is any question about my subscription or delivery, they are always present and willing to help and their service always go over the top. I absolutely love their coffee. It is the most delicious and yummy treat first thing in the morning. Their baristas are the best! though I mostly make my own at home, with raw sugar and full cream. Delizioso! Cosi Buono! read more

Run, and I mean run when I say this place has one of the best coffees ever. You won't want coffee from anywhere else after drinking some from here. The service was great & the place was super clean. Also appears to be a great work from home or study spot. The croissant was also great, dip some in the coffee, you'll thank me later! read more

I love coming here early in the morning due to the parking situation. There were times when I had to choose other cafe since I couldnt find parking :( Coffee is super good, and customer service is top notch. I was a bit worried that there were 5+ people in line, but I think I only had to wait for 5 min. There were only two people working too, which is super impressive! read more

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. read more

coffee is good but really overpriced. not much seating and no wifi. don't have more to say but yelp wants me to type more words

Coffee exquisite, classy, artistic. Food too! Pastries and yummy choices not available everyday in usual coffee shops. A step above. read more

Fabulous service, excellent Cappuccinos, and great treats. Very kind to elderly customers.

Hands down the best coffee in LA. No questions asked. I'm an LA native, born and raised. I've tried a ton of lattes, cappuccinos, Gibraltars, americanos, iced coffees -- you name it. Nothing comes close to Caffe Luxxe. The best part is that every single location stays consistent on both the flavor and make of your coffee. My favorite part about Caffe Luxxe is how reminiscent the whole vibe is of my time in Europe. Pastries are fresh. Espresso has a flavor that hugs your tongue. Service is always quick and easy. I would LOVE for there to be a mobile order option at some point. Although, waiting ten minutes is worth it when I get my fix of Caffe Luxxe each morning. read more
