| - OK, so I've only been here once, and only to shoot a short film in one of the many, many rooms inside the fun and interesting maze that is Lux. I had some tea and a breakfast pastry of some kind, which were both great. I wanted to try so much more, but we were on a shooting schedule (thanks for the space, BTW) and didn't want to look like a hog on-camera.
So it may be tricky finding parking, but you can easily take the light rail here too. And it's worth it when you get inside. We were there on a Saturday very early when just a few regulars and the staff milled about. But as it started to fill up, I could sense the community that develops because of the atmosphere. It reminded me of the coffee houses in the Pacific Northwest; like Seattle, a place I've never been but where I hear coffee was invented in 1991 by Captain Kirby Starbuck (I jest).
Anyway, it is both a place to sit alone and enjoy your breakfast/coffee on a comfy couch with a good to mediocre book, and a place where you go to meet people and talk because you're forced to by the people hogging the nice seats. Also, you can wear your Matisyahu t-shirt here and people will get it (they may groan, but they get it).
So go to Lux to make some friends, level up on your hipster points, or just hide out because it's probably better than the Starbucks closer to you where all the unfriendly snowbirds hang out. Oh, and it appears they're open and night too, serving alcohol, which is a bonus.
