Lux Central

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. Read more

Best coffee shop in Phoenix ! Great cocktails too.

I read a comment that rated Lux Central as having the best coffee in the state of AZ. He wasn’t lying either!! Lux is by far the best!! Great vibes & coffee & bar & food. Best Iced Carmel Latte EVER!!

Best coffee in phoenix hands down. Amazing breakfast . This is the best place in Phoenix. They have a cool deejay sometimes. Super busy. Get there early. Egg and bacon sandwich with cheese is amazing

Lux is king in this town . amazing food, drinks, baked goods - all made fresh on-site daily. vibes is hip and casual ????????

You've got a lot of options at Lux-- you can get a coffee (we recommend their Velvet mocha ), order from the menu du jour, pick up fresh-baked pastries , or just stare as the beautiful people pass by. Read more

Iced black & white is delicious - pairs so well with all of the baked goods , such as the divine espresso chocolate bundt cake and Lux sandwich cookies . Omg.

Definitely the coolest coffee shop in Phoenix . A must see for all Phoenicians and one of the best places to hang out, chat or get work done.

Iconic Phoenix spot. Divine coffee and drinks. Food is always changing, made on location daily. Always a positive experience. My heart belongs to lux.

Lux has great food, especially the mochas and mac-n-cheese with jalepenos . Best baked goods ever! Cool and a bit quirky spot. I have been known to study for a few classes here when it's not too busy.

Lux is open late , everyone is so nice here, and it's a pleasant atmosphere—what more could you want? How about free refills on coffee w/ ice, or a $1 refill for iced coffee w/ two shots of espresso ?????

This place is hipster nonesense. But I like it. WIFI , Mac n cheese out of tea cups. Inexplicable typewriters everywhere. ? It's a little pricey but a fun hangout with great chai .

Newer, bigger, better. Lux Central is it. Sit in a selection of retro back rooms for coffee & laptop work. Or hang out front w/friends for a well-crafted cocktail & a tasty meal. That's right. A meal.

Tried the jam cocktail tip, it was so good! But ask the mixologist to use fresh jam instead, not the Denny's jam they have in those little glass bottles . And ask him not to filter out the jam pieces.

I love a good, strong iced coffee and Lux is definitely the place to get it! But you want to get here fast! It's a popular place and seating is almost impossible on the weekends.

The best in-house batch brew around (and with free refills). Also, the vibe is amazing and the people are beautiful. Did I mention the Mac n cheese ?

Offered up as is or with the addition of thick-cut bacon and freshly sliced jalapeños , this mac and cheese at Lux is more or less made and baked to order nearly all day, everyday till midnight. Read more

No cocktail menu , so it goes like this: tell them what you like and they'll shoot from the hip . The trick knowing what you're in the mood for. Explain away, be specific, and you've got a bulls-eye.

Great spot to chat with friends, get coffee , or get things done with your assignments/reading/job applications. Try the savory Dutch pancake !

Amaze coffee & dinner . Mac&Cheese is a goto favorite. Great espresso that's smooth. Pretty busy here so don't be shy. Squeeze in.

The light roast is amazing. The best. Croissants are really good. This is the best coffee house .

Sammy the fabulous bartender , opened my eyes to the real deal when it comes to The Cocktail . He made me a believer.♥️

Fried rice w veggies , cilantro & jalapeno egg ($12) is excellent. Seriously; worth the trip. Note: they don't serve it regularly; have to check the daily menu on their Facebook page.

Get there early if you want to beat the line . If you don’t, it’s still worth the wait.

They have great lattes . I really like their Black and White latte . They also have a great egg sandwich . The added tomato really kicks up the flavor.

There’s no better spot in Phoenix. You’ll meet the most interesting people in this communal environment Jeff has created.

If you're getting an adult beverage , the aviation is a must. Tasty, not too sweet, and packs a punch!

Jalapeño mac n cheese , spaghetti squash , arugula salad , lemon bars , salted chocolate chip cookies , scones , espresso drinks , lemonade , everything!!!

Best coffeehouse in town ! Has an urban, metro vibe. You'd think you were in Seattle. Great place to study too!

Great coffee , great baked goods . Try the salted chocolate chip walnut cookie with an americano . You won't regret it...unless you're allergic to hipsters .

This place is awesome. Have always come here for days. The people are friendly and the staff are amazing. (Only one person has been completely Rude.) Love this place tho! ;-)

If you're looking for a refreshing cocktail , try asking the mixologist for one made with fresh muddled jam . It's a different experience, but delicious.

One of the coolest spots I've been 2 in Phoenix...Homemade whip cream ???? Try the Lavender Vegan Donut !

Have an early morn Cappuccino on the patio with an apricot almond scone . Listen to the Catholic school band practice across the street and watch the sun rise.

The coffee is pretty good! And so is the food. But I wish the workers would be a bit nicer and more attentive......and say thank you when people tip!!!

ghe place was packed. My eggs with bacon and hash brown were really good. Good cappuccino and great hipster atmosphere!

Matcha Latte was delicious

Next time I am trying the breakfast cocktails . Amazing food and great atmosphere!

Amazing little coffee bar ! Not your typical Starbucks. Lots of personality w/ cool retro sofas & chairs. Great, fast & friendly service !!

Has its own private lot which is great. Also great Mac n cheese

Great coffee and the pastries are delicious - I dream about the salted chocolate chip pistachio cookies .

Eggs are amazing here. Coffee light roast is the best.

Awesome coffee . The salted chocolate chip cookie also rocked. Busy place to hangout with your laptop.

Everything here is delicious! If you've already had too much caffeine for the day, try the fresh lemonade with a sugar-rimmed glass. Awesome!

Cool place that suffers from being a little too hip for its own good. Expect counterintuitive ordering systems, hidden menus and a lack of uncomfortable seating along with excellent food and coffee .

Type away on your laptop while enjoying a well-crafted soy latte & listening to some cool tracks . Take an occasional break to people watch and eat something delectable from their counter.

Great set up and has a bar . The coffee menu was huge. Would def head back there

Absolutely surprisingly robust and rich, flavorful espresso drinks . Must try's are the Velvet and Black and White, iced.

Great to try the variety of drinks that came old school or free thinker style depending on the barman!

Get a velvet and ask for the whip to be added.
