    I was served on time! The pistachio parfait was good and the energizer was very refreshing.

    Best coffee I trank on Mauritius (compared to the one in the hotels). The Cappuccino is superb and the coffee is "fair traded" and self roasted. There are many other branches around the island.

    The best thing about this place are the seats nearby the waterline. Nice place to relax. Had a flat white and it was mediocre. To milky and to weak espresso. And they put some blue stuff in it. Maybe only coloring but I find blue things not appealing.

    I was looking for a decent coffee and this place really impressed. It looks really nice and presentable inside with a modern aesthetic. You have a full view of the back area where you can see your drinks or cakes being prepared The staff were well attentive and spoke English really well, making our drinks with the utmost care. I got a Moccachino and a Salted Caramel and Peanut Frappe Lux for my brother. We were both extremely impressed. My drink was creamy and intensely flavourful, and my brother enjoyed his frappe very much. We will definitely be back, and look forward to trying some other drinks and maybe some cakes next time. If you want a quality coffee at a decent price, I can heartily recommend this place!

    As you enter, you are greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere created by the gentle lighting, soft music, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods. The menu offers a wide selection of coffee drinks, teas, and other beverages, along with freshly baked pastries, sandwiches, salads, and soups. Overall, this cozy coffee shop is a perfect place to relax, socialize, or work in a comfortable environment.

    The staffs lack some professionalism. The one at Bagatelle is much better. I like the Pistachio cake, though was too sugary to my taste and I liked the Corson tea, which is obviously too expensive. I can buy a packet of Corson tea at any supermarket with Rs 75.😂

    Very cool coffee shop with inside/outside seating and view of the water. Refreshing ice cream based coffee drink... three men on a boat. Note that there is quite a lot of noise due to improvements in a building next door, but it doesn't take away a star from the coffee shop.

    Very nice and cozy place. Can get crowded during peak hours. Great service. Wide variety of beverages available and very well presented. Good looking and tasty desserts. A few lunch options available too. Prices can get very steep.

  • 2/5 Darshu S. 1 year ago on Google
    During the last hours of closure, specially on weekends they tell customers to select only from a limited selection of coffee as others are not available.. I went twice and both times were the same.. Ordered a carrot cake which was not fresh at all. The employees seem tired and demotivated..and during those hours they take a lot of time to place orders as what I noticed they start balancing their tills. I would suggest please respect closing hours time and even if (as per Google hours) the café closes at 6 pm, if a person comes at 5 30, treat him/her same as you would with the very first customer. And put fresh muffins and cakes from time to ensure freshness cause as compared to Artisan coffee, your outlet is much expensive. But to be very honest, quality wise, they are better...

    We ordered one milkshake oreo, two smoothies and a red velvet cake,and to be honest it was the worst milkshake, smoothies and red velvet ever. The milkshake was literally just like they just pour the milk in carton and they served it to you. The smoothies was not cold and they were watery and tasteless. We did complain about it with the supervisor,she gave us the same drinks but added ice in it.. She said we can't complain about it as the so called Batista knows better than us,they know their job.The red velvet was very chewy. We go to cafe lux cascavell very often but never got this kind of issues.. Was such a disappointment for us..

    A bit pricey. The deserts are good but not one in a lifetime experience. The choice and taste of the coffee alone is enough to lift up the place. The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

    Coffee taste is good. However, serves not quite hot so overall not satisfied. No enough space and whatever is that uncomfortable. Although their service was fast. I wouldn't go unless any specific reason to go.

    Way too overrated. I got stale a stale. It had a burnt taste to it, peanut’s taste was off and was super dry. It basically sells its name now. Wouldn’t go again.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Lux* located in the beautiful Caudan Waterfront in Mauritius specifically for their sorbet selection, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! Firstly, the location of Cafe Lux* is picturesque, situated right by the waterfront, offering stunning views while enjoying a tasty treat. The interior of the cafe is trendy and inviting, with a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: their sorbet. The variety of flavours available at Cafe Lux* is impressive. From classic options like mango and raspberry to unique choices such as ananas piment, there is something to satisfy every palate. The sorbets are made with real fruits, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The texture of the sorbet is smooth and creamy, perfectly capturing the essence of a refreshing frozen dessert. Each scoop is bursting with flavour, creating a mouthwatering experience that leaves you craving for more. The serving size is generous, and the presentation is impeccable, with colourful and appetizing scoops sitting atop a bed of crushed ice. What sets Cafe Lux* apart is their attention to detail and the friendly staff who make your experience even better. The service is exceptional, with employees who genuinely care about ensuring you have a memorable visit. They are knowledgeable about the flavors and are more than happy to provide recommendations based on your preferences. Another advantage of Cafe Lux* is its reasonable pricing. The sorbet portions are reasonably priced for the quality and taste you receive. It's a great place to indulge in a cold treat without breaking the bank. In conclusion, if you're a sorbet enthusiast or simply looking for a refreshing dessert while exploring Caudan Waterfront in Mauritius, head to Cafe Lux*. Their wide array of delicious sorbet flavors, combined with excellent service and pleasantambiencee, make it a must-visit destination. I guarantee you'll leave with a smile on your face and a satisfied sweet tooth!

  • 4/5 don't think too h. 11 months ago on Google
    Walked in, cool air, clean floors, good lighting, clear signs, good start. Looked at the array of cakes, so much choice, settled on vanilla flan. Lots of hot and cold coffee choices, plus others. Ordering was easy. Took a seat, few minutes later drinks and food arrive. Coffee hot and freshly made. Cake still chilled, tastes lovely, velvety texture melts in the mouth. An enjoyable pit stop from the busyness of the Caudan.

    Great food and tea with a superb customer service.

  • 3/5 Tania S. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to have a drink and a snack. Need more variety in the sandwiches as the only available choices are chicken and vegetarian. The bread was not that fresh yesterday, felt like it was few days old. On other visits, I did get fresh bread though. The view is great and so is the service and staffs. The picture is that of the bread, I had yesterday, looked good but didn't taste fresh even after they lightly warmed it but the filling was good.

  • 2/5 Pritish A. 1 year ago on Google
    I give them 2 stars because the lemon mint ice tea is really, really good. Other than that it's the most disappointing Cafe Lux* I've been to. The food is not worth the prices charged and does not live up to the Lux* brand. There is something cheap/junk about the ingredients served, most particularly the bread which is of poor quality. Sandwiches often come overcooked after spending too long in the sandwich maker. This week I made my first visit there in years just wanting to enjoy a beverage while working on my laptop. To my dismay the waiter informed me that they had no internet access... right when you most need it for work. I understand such things happen but there could at least have been a sign/piece of paper informing visitors of the internet breakdown. Service is OK but not great. I find the staff at Cascavelle (in particular) and Trianon much friendlier.

    Used to be my favourite place for muffin. Last time I went with my daughters, they asked me for my vaccination pass, gave them then they asked for my 13 y old daughter. Explained to then thta there is no vaccination possible for them but they still refused.... So I went to Artisan coffee. My new best place.

  • 1/5 Laura D. 1 year ago on Google
    If i could give no star, i would. The passion fruit iced tea tasted like a mango one and the matcha latte didn’t even taste like matcha. For the price we pay, use higher quality products thank you

    Staff is not too professional. Wanted refreshing drinks ended up with an island kiss not chilled and a green day too sweet. Told the waiter he didn't even care

  • 4/5 Bader A. 1 year ago on Google
    The ice cream was nice the coffee is below average in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Kandi W. 6 years ago on Google
    Excellent Service as usual for the Lux* Brand. This cafe is located at the center of the waterfront area. Apart from coffee, you can also find a healthy selection on salad and drinks. Their own brand of ice cream, ici, is a must try,too. However, while my visit, there was no chocolate flavor. I once tasted their chocolate ice cream in the resort. It is unforgettable. At last I tried the lemon sorbet and Coconut Devine Frappy. They didn't let me down either. I even purchased the t shirt of Cafe Lux* which is selling in a reasonable price at Rs300.

  • 4/5 John W. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice coffee and baguettes/panini. You may want to ask for it cold, as they seem to toast every sandwich otherwise. You can make your own salad too.

  • 1/5 Sitaram S. 3 years ago on Google
    Not a safe place to be, Caudan café lux . If you need a coffee break , project work, business chose elsewhere. I don’t recommend. My wife and myself flees this morning, leaving our coffee, tea and cake. strange customer, strange attitudes, no security control. Felt that it’s a network of the staffs, if you want customers to flee. Change the cafe lux brand of Caudan, name it... “Bar tempête ou coin coCa”.

    Beautiful setting on the water but the coffee is weak, the bread for sandwiches is stale, they don't open on time in the mornings and they aren't open on Sundays even though they are located in the heart of Port Louis' tourist area.

👍👍 One word... PRICE! Oh my God does this place have the best prices in the whole of the western hemisphere on the island. A cup of tea goes as low as 25MUR (03/06/22), date is important Incase of inflation in the future😂. Nevertheless this place has the best snacks for a quick bite, lunch, breakfast...
