| - I'm not going to lie - what made me go to Lux in the first place is because there is a character named Lux in the online game League of Legends that I'd been playing a lot, and it caught my attention. Secondly, I wanted some morning coffee on a Monday morning while visiting Phoenix.
If I were limited to rail travels, I'd tout its easy accessibility it is to the rail, but I had a car, and it's in a convenient location that at worst, requires a U-turn to get to. Parking was a little sparse, but I was able to get a spot, probably because I was hitting it up after the real main morning rush.
The interior of the place was unique, and sub-sectioned to about three or four different mini-lobbies of some sort. It's cozy and inviting in most of them, but you better like your fellow man if the picnic benches are the last place to sit.
I went for just coffee, so I didn't experience the food, although lots of people attest to it being really good. As far as coffee was concerned, out of the five, I guess local coffee joints I hit up in Phoenix, Lux probably had the best coffee of them all. The staff were all friendly and pleasant peoples, and they mowed through the lines of people efficiently and with smiles on their face. It's a truly good atmosphere there, and despite the pretty hipster crowd, the air of smug arrogance isn't as prevalent from those who lounge there.
Phoenix as a whole has a lot of great food joints and coffee shops. Lux easily ranks up there with them, and I'd visit again if/when my travels bring me back out to Arizona.
