We have a bunch of coffee shops along the light rail and the list appears to be growing steadily. One very well known coffee shop in town is Lux Coffee Bar located at 4404 N Central Avenue near the light rail station at Central and Campbell.
This past week, I just “had” to try a Dr. Lux from Lux Coffee Bar after noticing that our friends at Arizona Coffee left a tip about it on “foursquare.”
“Ask to try the Dr Lux – whipped cream, dr pepper, and espresso. It’s different. Not on menu.”
Apparently, this drink has been served at Lux for quite a while, but since it is not on the menu, they probably don’t serve a ton of them. Made in a tall iced glass with Dr Pepper, espresso and thick whipped cream the Dr. Lux isn’t your every day coffee drink. My good friend Calie made the trip to Lux with me, but wasn’t quite as impressed as I was. One thing for sure, you will want to make sure and mix it up well before drinking. Please note: Drinking two of these WILL wake you up! 🙂
Give it a try…
Remember, Rail Life has a Phoenix Light Rail Group on Flickr. Basically, we want to share some of our pictures from the community and allow people to add their pics (or videos), as well. These can be light rail related, but we also want pics of your favorite spot, restaurant, sports team, community, event etc.
That sounds wretched, albeit interesting.
BTW, it’s 4404 N. Campbell, not 404. I’m relatively new here and I looked at that thinking “I didn’t think Campbell was that close to Downtown.”
Aaron,
Thanks so much for stopping by and for pointing out my typo. I forgot a 4 but it has been fixed. 🙂
I did like the drink but will probably ask them for a little less Dr. Pepper next time I order one. Their espresso rocks and makes for a very “interesting” drink.

Gosh Nick, thanks for including me in your review of Dr Lux. I would imagine that anyone who likes espresso and Dr Pepper would probably enjoy this drink! Unfortunately, I do not like either of them. You, on the other hand, seemed to love drinking two. We should do this again sometime 🙂

I am only commenting because Nick is making me. I was perfectly happy being a lurker until he called me out. However, this coffee drink does sound like something that anyone who names his company The Social Latte should try…. at least once! Let me know when we’re going Calie and I am in.
“Let me know when we’re going Calie and I am in.”
What am I, chopped liver? Thanks Jack…
