Lux Perpetua Coffee

Lux is such a great coffee shop on McKinley and has great welcoming and neighborly vibes. Their coffee is amazing as well as their pastries. The owner is so nice and chill and I love all the baristas. Also the sweet doggo is my favorite part of visiting!

I got a cold brew coffee with some hazelnut and cream and it was delicious. This atmosphere is a big plus. I had a late start so pickings for a pastry or breakfast sandwich were slim. I will definitely come back and try something though.

TLDR: My love of this place has grown after a rocky start, and I choose to come here first now instead of go check the other place then walk here. Good flavor and variety, lots of space, advocacy in the form of papers and other peoples art... like a little co-op. When I first moved to the neighborhood last October 2024, I was so excited to try the coffee shop that was a 4 minute walk from my home. I walked in the door and was greeted by the awesome nerdy/retro/queer/psychedelic divebar style of the coffee shop. Pogie the dog said hello hello helloo! to me and I was very excited. I had done research before heading here and chose this place over the other coffee shop down the street because it was more my style. I was a little bummed because Justin (owner) was a little abrasive and off-putt

Love the spunky queer vibe. Lots of food options. Coffee is great, with intriguing specials. Really dog friendly, inside and out. I would drive out if my way to come here.

This place is very nice. I have been here in the past, but I forgot to take pictures or write a review. This time I am doing both. The beauty of course is they are up the road from me. So I can walk there without it being a journey. The coffee is good. The atmosphere is great. The snacks are amazing..
