Lux Central

Coffee shop playing Deftones ? LIT !! I got a vanilla latte with almond milk 10/10 Service and vibes are the best love meeting new people !!!

YOU CANT FILM HERE??? Let me talk to the owner!The only reason they get a three is the food and drinks. Also the chef was great too!As a new customer who traveled over 40 min to get here , a staff member made me feel VERY uncomfortable. I am a content creator who goes to local businesses all around the valley, to help promote their products, brand and/or experience . I have over 350,000 followers across my platforms and am a genuine page people go to for reviews. I am appalled to have been approached by An older gentleman employee telling me If I am going to film I need to get permission from people around me.First. He didn't even ask me what I was doing? If the owner asked me to come in and film,you would have now lost my business in that regard. It is all about the approach and there was no "hi how are you"There were a lot of stares and assumptions. You know what they say about making assumptions??He proceeded to say i can film the pastries but if im going to film inside i need to get people's persimmons..lol this is a public space. No i don't ANYWAY. My camera was actually pointed towards me only. I also have an effect that blurs the back so it was focused on ME. Regardless , there was no need to even tell me that. If he would've just politely asked or even tried to start a conversation. It made me very uncomfortable and now I my review on Instagram and TikTok will be about my experience.The food was good. The chefs service was great! He brought me my food :.Everyone else seems like they'd rather be anywhere else and help anyone but me..lol It was a very unsettling first time. Mind you I spent over $30 in one sitting because i wanted to try some items.

I've been coming to Lux for over 7 years. Even now, living on the East Coast, it's on my short list of places to hang when I visit Phoenix. From the full service menu of food food, various pastries, coffee and tea galore, and even a bar, if you're feeling fancy, there is truly something for everyone! The outside is so unassuming, but the inside is an ever changing museum of local art, free post cards; vintage decor meets modern industrial. Multiple seating areas, including quiet study spaces provide more room than initially meets the eye. My one chief complaint is the singular bathroom, and the difficulty getting into and out of that area. That being said... My last visit found me satisfying my craving for the espresso chocolate bundt cake. I dont even care that much for chocolate cake, but this one?? Top 5 of ALL cakes I've had in my life, I think. Dense, rich chocolate bathed in creamy espresso frosting.. what more could you ask for?? A perfect velvet lattte topped with a mountain of whipped cream.

Ran in here for some coffee this morning. The man taking orders didn't greet me just said what can I get for you, which to me is ok, I understand coffee shops can be very busy, however I was the only person in line. He then proceeded to say "damn it smells like my grandma in here". That caught me off guard and thought maybe it's my perfume (which I sprayed about an hour prior) but disregarded it. When I went up to grab my coffee he had a face of disgust and complaining. That's when I felt absolutely awful, it was me and my perfume he was talking about. Even if I'm wrong, those comments and gestures are not ok in a place where you are assisting customers. I left this establishment feeling extremely self conscious about the way I smelled and with a knot in my throat, just awful. I will not be returning. I'm giving this 1 star because the coffee was decent.

This is my favorite cappuccino place in town! Lux is the best coffee house in Phoenix/Az!!! The treats, muffins, croissants, the breakfasts all delicious! This morning was the first time I didn't feel welcome there. The counter help was not that friendly . No smile, not rude, but very matter of fact. (So like I said, not rude, but not making me feel like I want to come back either). Anyway, probably just an off day for the person helping me. 99.99999% of the time everyone is friendly and kind!!!! Of course I will be back, because I've been coming here for years and years and I do love it! I'm just saying if it's your first time here and someone isn't quite what you expecting at the counter, it isn't the norm! Come back!!

Yummy coffee, cute vibes and friendly service. Would come back for sure. We got iced coffee and hot coffee and both were delicious.

Cutest and great coffee shop! Customer service is great, coffee is delicious, and food taste home made.

Although seating can be limited, Lux is worth a stop. Lux checks the boxes whether you're looking for Coffee or a Cocktail or a place to hang with friends or to study/work. You can look forward to a unique coffee shop vibe and a drink that won't disappoint.

Not open on Sundays... from out of town and made the extra effort to come to a place that wasn't open :(

Came here on a Thursday night for drinks after dinner. What a cool spot! Super indie cafe that also serves alcohol. Lots of people reading and with their laptops out working. Like others have said, music is significantly loud and lighting is dim. Personally, I loved this especially since the music they were playing was great!We ordered at the counter and sat on the tables right across from the bar top. Once our order was ready, one of the bartenders brought the drinks out to us. I ordered the Lux margarita and it was absolutely FIRE. It also had me feeling GOOOOOOOD after so really no complaints here. Best/coolest place I went to while in Phoenix. Can't wait to go back!
