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.

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.

Sammy in the Lux Saloon is truly a Gem! Every visit feels like catching up with an old friend, he truly embodies customer service while single handedly making some of the most delectable cocktails I've ever experienced. My friends and I will be frequenting this place for the rest of our tenure here in Phx and hopefully after on overnights ;) The music is a vibe, but sometimes a bit loud so bring noise cancellation devices if you plan on studying. The saloon is in the back and the furniture is super comfy for your hangouts and there's always cool movies on the projector. Friendly Skies! Your pilot pal(s) P.S. the kitchen makes a MEAN grilled cheese me tomato soup!!! Pro tip add pesto ;)

Nice coffee shop nearby Steele Indian School Park. The place was rather busy in Sunday afternoon, indicating this is a very popular location regardless a kind of hidden entrance. Without prior information it would, in fact, challenging to spot this corner. I very much like the unique style and interior, nothing to do with the rather sterile touch of the big chain coffee shops.

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!

Vibes are always on point. It's kind of pricey though... $10 for my dirty chai latte. That's cap. But love the crowd sitting and doing work here though. Much appreciated.
