Curator’s note

Luxxe's beach room asks for a real pause: no WiFi on purpose, a private terrace in back, and the Pacific across the street to look at instead of a screen. The pour-overs run through Bee House drippers, which suits the unhurried premise.

The Curated Order
The drink
Montenero Blend - CLASSICO

The original blend where Caffe Luxxe began 20 years ago: a medium roast of dark chocolate, caramel and jasmine.

The coffee

Milanese-style espresso and Bee House pour-overs of the house roast from Il Laboratorio, hot and iced, with organic pastries and breakfast sandwiches beside them. The retail shelf runs deeper here than in the older rooms.

The room

A bright, compact room in the Malibu Sands Center with a private terrace tucked in back and the ocean across PCH. It closed for months after the January 2025 Palisades fire and pours again on the same corner.
