Description

Quite possibly THE place to see-and-be-seen on the Central Avenue corridor, this hipster hotspot features excellent coffee, a nice selection of cocktails, and a small but tasty dining menu. Kick back with the MacBook-wielding 20-somethings amid uber-cool modern vintage furnishings.

  • 2012 | Best Place to Take a Scenester

    This coffeehouse/bar long has been popular with the see-and-be-seen crowd, and why not? The place is consistently hoppin' with MacBook-wielding, dressed-to-impress, urbane 20-somethings. Whether you're there for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a craft cocktail, a bite from the ever-changing menu (we love the mac 'n' cheese), or just to chat with friends, you'll be rubbing shoulders with a clientele that is the very definition of "cool." Among the vintage typewriters, artfully placed burlap... More »

  • 2011 | Best Coffee Shop Gallery

    We don't mind the notoriously long lines at Lux Coffee Bar -- they give us more time to check out what's up on the walls. The shop's monthly rotating shows have included Hipstamatic photography by Jason Hill, a documentation of train graffiti by Christopher Marks, and a photo essay of Haiti by The Parlor owner Aric Mei. Lux owner Jeff Fischer promises to continue the rotating art now that the shop has expanded into the building next door, which means more walls, more art, and even more... More »

  • 2010 | Best Coffee House, Central Phoenix

    Coffee houses come and go, and we're glad Lux stayed. Even with a change of ownership a few years ago, this packed-to-the-gills coffee bar earns its reputation as the place to see and be seen -- and to sip -- in Central Phoenix. No one minds if you bring over your Pane Bianco sandwich from next door on a hot day, as long as you buy a beverage -- and we're more than happy to oblige, since Lux brews some of our favorite coffee drinks in town. On a nice day, sit outside on the... More »

  • 2005 | BEST NEIGHBORHOOD COFFEE HOUSE, CENTRAL PHOENIX

    In a city where we have to drive everywhere anyway, we're happy to extend our definition of "neighborhood" by a few miles to include Lux in our locality. While plenty of folks really do come here on foot, many more are willing to cruise past their corner Starbucks -- or even a few of them -- just to lounge on Lux's comfy white seats with a magazine or a friend. Both the art (paintings and photography from local talent) and the regulars (a lively cross section of Phoenix artists, musicians,... More »

  • 2004 | BEST COFFEE HOUSE

    The coffee at Lux is superb, but that's not what keeps the place packed. Instead, it's the super-cool vibe you find in the patrons and the decor. Both are downtown chic, looking straight out of New York or San Francisco, rather than central Phoenix. But no, here they are, the intelligentsia of Phoenix -- city council people canoodling with artists, architects hanging with academics -- thinking big thoughts and making big plans on the hip, low white vinyl chairs. There are some out there who... More »

  • 2002 | Best Coffee House

    Husband-and-wife team Daniel Wayne and Felicia Ruiz-Wayne have got a great gimmick. Don't spend any money on decor, just focus on premium coffees, sweet snacks and way cool reading material (funky magazines, art books, trendy tabloids). And don't hesitate to charge the big bucks for the experience.Is it vintage? Is it modern? We can't tell, but we get a kick out of LUX's who-cares approach to stark white walls, mismatched furniture, concrete charisma and bare, gallery-style lighting. The... More »

    This is just the best coffee in Phoenix. I don't have anything else to say about it? It's amazing, it's delicious, the people are cool, it's in a great location. Lux is bomb.

    The best coffee in Phoenix, hands down. And yes, I've been to Cartel.

    Uber-cool coffee shop on Central and Campbell. You'll never fail to see a ton of hip young adults typing away on Macbooks as they sip on their coffee. I don't drink coffee, but I hear it's pretty delicious at this place. Personally, I always get an iced chai or one of their hot tea options if I'm on the go. If I'm sticking around, I'll make sure to ask for a hot chai in one of their mugs before settling into one of the chairs packed into the front of the shop. On nice days, I can ride my bike here then sit on the patio and enjoy the sun.
