Master Critic Review
Caffe Luxxe
8.0
Caffe Luxxe anchors the Country Mart mornings with serious espresso, silky matcha, and better-than-average pastries. It’s a casual, counter-service spot where locals linger over cappuccinos before school drop-off or a Montana Avenue walk.

What makes it special: Specialty coffee and pastries with a relaxed, European-style café feel.
Who should go: Coffee purists and laptop-free morning regulars
When to visit: Early morning for easy parking and shorter lines
What to order: Cappuccino or matcha latte, Nutella croissant, breakfast sandwich
Insider tip: There’s no Wi-Fi by design, so bring a book or a friend, not your inbox.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: The Brentwood Country Mart lot offers free parking, but it fills quickly after 8:30am. Street parking on 26th/Adelaide is possible but time-limited.
Dress code: Very casual — athleisure, school-drop-off sweats, or jeans are all totally normal.
Noise level: Low to moderate — conversations are easy, though the morning rush adds some bustle.
Weekend wait: Not applicable — it’s a morning/afternoon café only.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait; the line moves quickly even during peak coffee hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — most pastries, avocado toast, and breakfast sandwiches can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — black coffee, teas, and a few pastries may qualify, but food options are sparse.
Gluten-free options: A few gluten-free pastries rotate in; no dedicated prep area, so not ideal for severe sensitivities.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes for a casual coffee date — it’s bright, calm, and easy for conversation. Not ideal if you want a long sit-down meal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it's counter-service and entirely walk-in. Seating is first-come and turns over steadily, especially outdoors.
Is it kid-friendly? Very — families frequent the Country Mart, and grabbing pastries with stroller-friendly outdoor seating is common.
Best For
Better for: Top-tier espresso, refined matcha, and a calmer, more European vibe than most quick-service cafés in the area.
Skip if: You want a full breakfast menu, need Wi-Fi for work, or prefer lingering at a table for an hour — this is more grab-and-savor than settle-in.
