Luma

Luma Cafe is a great stop while walking Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach. We came for lunch and I had the smoked salmon bagel, while my friend ordered the BLT and drinks. Everything is outdoor seating with a tiki-style gazebo, swing chairs, and even games like cornhole. It feels more like a beach hangout than just a café. Since Flagler Avenue is right next to the beach, this is an easy and convenient place to stop during a beach day.

First time here and certainly will not be the last!! Outdoor venue with swings, counter service and a cozy courtyard. How can you not enjoy a cafe, latte, cappuccino or a glass of wine or cold IPA?? SO CHILL, the vibe is infectious. Service is fast, friendly and focused on customer satisfaction. Always a line, but moves quickly. Egads, this proprietor will flourish and it's steps from the beach!!! 🥰🥰🥰

My boyfriend and I stopped by for coffee this afternoon. I do appreciate that they serve coffee later than most local coffee shops. That said, we paid over $16 for a small cappuccino and a large latte, and for that price, I honestly expected better. The coffee wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t worth the cost. The place itself is beautiful—very beachy, fun, and inviting. However, I agree with other reviews that the heavy realtor advertising throughout the space takes away from the atmosphere and décor. With less of that, the place would feel much more classy, especially considering the price of the coffee. The swings were a nice touch!

Although this spot is just walking distance from the beach, has plenty of space, and is well decorated, I would not recommend. I spent about $25 on a “Brown Sugar” coffee that did not have any taste to that at all & instead tasted like old coffee mixed with water. Additionally, the bagel/sandwich I bought just felt like it was from a microwaveable breakfast meal (from the taste to the texture). To make things even worse, I had the pleasure (not) of hearing the cashiers bad mouth the customer in front of me. They were upset she didn’t pay & showed no patience with her although I saw her tap and sign to pay which could have been an error with their system. Extremely unprofessional.

Today I was in the mood for something light for breakfast. I ordered the Tuscan Caprese Classic salad and added a baguette on the side. It was absolutely delicious! To make it even better, the atmosphere was very relaxing, they had soft jazz music playing, and I stayed nice and warm thanks to the heaters. Such a lovely way to start the day!
