| - I'd visit Lux every day if I lived closer, but I'm a little too far east to do so. Nonetheless, this IS my favorite coffee house in the Phoenix Valley, and I could say that its one of my favorite locations to get a drink after work... and I could also say that their baked goods and dishes are so yummy that its one of my favorite little restaurants as well. Its eclecticness is much of its charm, but everything is also so very well done.
Upon my first visit there -- as part of an eclectic, hardworking group of maybe 10 activists, academics, and lawyers at the end of a very long day -- our group stumbled in to Lux, which was a little disorienting having never been there and not knowing what to expect (its a very unique but comfortable environment). Almost immediately, we were welcomed in by someone (an owner?) who found us some seats, made us some drinks, talked with us for a bit... showed me around, explained the menu to me and, despite the crazy frenetic buzz of that evening, in very short time we all felt really comfortable, a part things (for lack of a better description), and had a really nice, memorable evening.
In the mornings, coffee & espresso drinks are simply wonderful... the various freshly baked things are just wow-good.
I love Lux (see you in the morning!).
