Caffe Luxxe - Santa Monica — Restaurant in Santa Monica

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...

Caffe Luxxe is located in the beating heart of Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, California. The place is cozy and offers all the typical café thingamagobs galore. They offer an assortment of pastries and a few premade sandwiches.

It smells nice and feels fresh, the floors where clean and the tables were bigger than a normal coffee shop.

The Americano comes in two sizes 8oz and 12oz I’m not sure if they are different in price but the 12oz was poured to about 7oz, I suspect this is a trend in the USA , a good tip is the order the 8oz in a 12 oz cup, (or the small in a large cup in case the oz are off)

They accept most credit cards and cash. It seems like a mostly locals place.

Overall I would recommend this place to hang out alone to do homework or a bite with a coworker. It maybe too small for a coffee date or a...

Park at one of the meters out front and get in line -- the exquisitely crafted coffee and affable, expert baristas make this place popular. The line moves fast, so you'll be able to grab a seat at a table or the high bar (perfect for laptops) at this flagship location of the expanding-again Caffe Luxxe mini-empire. There's a reason they keep opening new stores: the coffee here is so good the only other cup I've had that lives up to it was drawn for me at a location in Harvard Square by a barista with a PhD. Tasty goodies make a worthy complement, and exotic & lovely treats line the shelves. This is a perfect spot to grab a cup of coffee and a hostess gift on your way to a...
