Caffe Luxxe

Very busy establishment, line wraps around the inside of the store. It has enough seating for anyone who wants to study or hangout. Most of their customers are to go orders, which leaves the seats wide open. The baristas were nice and knocked out orders pretty fast. I orderd the Latte Amore, it has chocolate covered strawberry with every bit of rich and smooth flavors as possible. Not too sweet which I like.

This place is busy!!! Saturday at 11:30ish and the line is out the door. Let's jump right into this review. This Caffee Luxxe is located in a shopping center off of San Vicente Blvd. Parking is validated if you park in the lot - lot is small. Metered street parking available. Parking may be a challenge depending on time of day. What did we have - Luxxe Engery × 2 - burst of natural caffeine - not overly sweet, but great taste, you can taste the caffeine shot in there. Coffee with Almond Milk Cold Foam - unfortunately, I don't know what this is that I ordered but it was coffee with almond cold foam. My son said the cold foam was delicious, coffee was OK. Almond Butter ... - I only remember Almond Butter, but it is a pastry of some sort - interesting taste and texture, reminds me of bread pudding. Not for me. The pastries were beautifully displayed, labeled, and looked good. Taste will vary. It cost $6.25 - steep price for a bite size pastry. Pros 1. Busy but employees were moving the line quickly. Customer service, pleasant and professional. **Know what you want and be ready to order. ** I felt overwhelmed because I was trying to explain what I wanted and me and the Barista just couldn't understand each other. I wanted a spritz and ended with coffee w/ cold foam. My son took the coffee with cold foam and I took his engery tea. It ended well. 2. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean and well lit, large windows for natural lighting. 3. Unique spin on coffees and teas. Pastries available along with yogurts. Cons 1. Parking may be a challenge. Lot is small. You either pay or get your ticket validated. For all my coffee lovers, Caffe Luxxe is an upscale coffee experience. Just make sure you know what you ordering/trying because that will change your taste bud experience. Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: This review was for a Yelp Elite event in conjunction with Caffe Luxxe. First off thank you @CaffeLuxxe & @YelpLA for the opportunity to revisit and rediscover a great neighborhood experience. Sarah, Julia and the westside Elite team did a solid! Caffe Luxxe is a European style cafe that focuses on artisanal coffee. Their beans are curated well and staff appears highly trained. The space is small, with limited seating. I rode my scooter and parked right outside. The lines kept on growing on a Wednesday late morning, so there isn't a right or wrong time to visit. What I deeply appreciate is the menu has limited options by intention, and while customizations for milk, sweetness, allergies are possible, the emphasis seems to be on showcasing the few things that they do best. Katie was a one-woman army, handling a battalion of customers, while being pleasant and not rushing anyone. I couldn't have a long chat but got to know her favorite is the americano - gotta try it next time. She recommended a hot latte with oat milk, and since I wanted less sweet, presented me with an unsweetened option. The latte was decent, definitely better than your blue bottle or other third wave coffee, but the real show stopper was their brewed coffee. I sampled their light roast, a full bodied floral single-origin from Guatemala with tasting notes of sweet tangerine, dark cherry, blackberry and cacao nibs. I was blown away as the quality of batch brewed was better than most pour overs. The fact that they were able to extract true to tasting notes is no small feat. I will definitely be back to try the other 3 brewed coffees. They have a small display of croissants, cinnamon buns, cakes and cookies. While I didn't have time to sample these, the blueberry cake, hazelnut cake with almond butter and chocolate croissant looked inviting. Something for next time to complement the brewed coffee. Overall, despite the shi shi vibe of Brentwood, this is a Tip: If you're not feeling like a milk-based beverage, ask for a sample of one of their 4 brewed coffee's. Tip: Park in the lot with access to from 26th st, get 1 hour validation. Or better yet, ride a scooter or bike.

One of the best coffee shops in LA! I used to live in Brentwood and would come in often for coffee. The barista’s got to know me and my dogs, so it really felt like a neighborhood cafe, but with premium coffee offerings. It’s nice to go back and see that quality hasn’t changed. I will say pastries and to go items sometimes aren’t the best, but they outsource for that so I don’t fault them much for lack of quality there. The small shop and cards have saved me more than once, so I appreciate their addition to the space for a quick quality gift. Highly recommend this over most any other coffee shop in this area. It’s often less crowded and quiet, providing a peaceful atmosphere to enjoy your caffeine fix.

Great coffee and pastries. The only thing that the management should be aware of is the tall short hair blonde lady that works there. She has a terrible attitude, extremely unfriendly, and she charges at people by the way she speaks to customers aside from that, it’s always been a great experience.
