Today, I met a group of amazing women for coffee at Lux Bru, a beautiful, French-inspired cafe and high-end espresso bar in Madison. I pass Lux Bru all the time, and when I decided it was time for my girlfriend fix, I wanted to try this cafe. Lux Bru did not disappoint.

Not only do they have a large open downstairs area for eating and working, but they also have a great space upstairs. You can also book your next private event at this cafe.

Their Valentine’s Day drink menu is amazing! I ordered Cupid’s Kiss, described as a “chocolate-covered strawberry latte with sweet notes of chocolate, berries, and espresso.” Before my drink was prepared, I asked if they used red dye or artificial flavors for my drink. I was assured that strawberries would be used and not an artificially flavored syrup. All syrups are made in house from natural ingredients, so I didn’t have to worry about artificial dyes or flavors. I was very happy about that.

My friends ordered the Love Spell, which is a refresher. This drink was described as strawberries and creamy vanilla. The drinks also had a delicious cold foam on top. Both of my friends raved about how delicioius their drinks were. I’ll be trying this one during my next visit.

My drink was beautiful, creamy, and delicious. I’m addicted, and I will be back for this drink. I could taste the creamy strawberry flavor in every sip. I absolutely loved this drink.

I am happy to announce they have a great menu of ham, bacon & gouda or spinach feta quiche; avocado toast; chicken bacon ranch wrap; farm house croissant with strawberry preserves, fried egg, cheddar, and ham, turkey or bacon; a hashbrown stack with sausage or turkey, muenster cheese and fried egg, served with agave syrup; croquettes monsieur; blackened salmon or shrimp & Gouda grits. They also have assorted bagels, muffins, and chia seed parfait.

One of my guests ordered the spinach feta quiche and the Gouda grits. The other ordered the blackened salmon & Gouda grits. When I told them I would be back, they told me they wanted to join me again because they loved the food and the company so much. We had a great time, and everything was delicious. The staff was also very friendly. I have found a new favorite cafe for coffee and lunch! If you are ever in Madison, check out their site here. Until next time, stay safe and well!
