No better place in this city to find the perfect urban hipster vibe, a clientele of cool creative young folk, and more than plenty options of delectable pastries, meals, and drinks. You can really get creative with your lattes here and their selection of desserts is always interesting and changing.
The space itself is what really makes Lux a winner. The place is surprisingly huge with plenty of seating, but it gets crowded quickly, especially at peak hours so be wary of this if youre coming in with a big group or to study. That being said, Lux boasts one of the most homey and earthy, yet diverse interiors of any local downtown coffee shop, which makes even the large crowds worth bearing. Come in the fall or early winter time for some lovely outdoor seating or come in the evenings to enjoy a DJ and watch this place transform into a chill late night hangout spot.
Parking here can be a bit of a strain and even trying to find it when driving down central. I always seem to miss it the first time. But alas, maybe that's more my incompetence.
Things I would recommend here besides the coffee? The jalapeƱo Mac and cheese definitely. The coffee crumble cake is also an unexpected delight. I'll be returning to try some more of their wide assortment of pastries so more reviews of Lux must-haves coming soon.
