LA-Based Caffe Luxxe Expands to Long Beach
12.17.19
LA-based Caffe Luxxe just opened its 7th location at 2ND & PCH in Long Beach. It's known for roasting all coffees by hand, locally. It's a farm-to-cup concept, which means their commitment to serving great coffee begins thousands of miles away at family-owned and operated farms that practice sustainability.
Caffe Luxxe commemorates each opening with an exclusive coffee blend release, and in keeping with tradition, the company will debut their Naples Blend, named for Long Beach’s picturesque waterfront neighborhood, which Caffe Luxxe, takes its inspiration from Italy. A blend of coffees from Brazil and Guatemala, the medium-bodied Naples Blend evokes aromas of toffee, citrus zest and toasted nuts and flavor notes of black tea, cherry cola and white grape.
In addition to serving up deliciously handcrafted cups of coffee, the cafe will feature a variety of fresh pastries, including handmade croissants, scones, and cookies. The cafe’s marketplace will be curated with a collection of lifestyle products including the Caffe Luxxe A Casa bath & body line, freshly roasted bags of Caffe Luxxe coffee.
Open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Caffe Luxxe is located at 6420 E. Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach.
