| - Ok...if this place was in NYC, I would literally walk MILES to get to it every single day. It's THAT good. I'm not even anywhere near Lux when I do stay in Phx, but I make the 20-something mile drive out there just to enjoy their iced lattes.
The prices are right in line with what I'm used to in NYC, but I suppose some in AZ might get sticker shock. It's SOOO worth the price though! I always order their iced soy latte with just half a packet of sweet n low, with whipped cream on top ($4.25), and HOLY CRAP, best thing ever. No idea how they do it.
The whipped cream here is prooooobably the best thing I've ever tasted, like, ever. I can't rave about it enough. But when you put it on top of a perfectly sweetened, creamy, icy, doesn't-even-really-taste-like-coffee beverage, it's heaven.
I asked the staff how they make their espresso so damn good, and they said they don't do anything different; they say it's most likely the roasting machines that have been "seasoned" with so much use that makes it so good.
Also-pastries are great, never had a bad one. The cookies are soft and chewy and yummy! Love the vibe of this place too, very loungy and laid back, with lots of people working on their laptops.
i almost always combine a trip here with one to Pane Bianco, and you're allowed to eat your sandwich inside Lux which is awesome. I'm not sure if they force you to buy something from them to eat in there, but I can't resist either way and always end up buying something anyway.
If you live anywhere NEAR Lux, you need to get your butt over there and try their whipped cream and espresso ASAP!
