Caffe Luxxe Coffee Kombucha Review



Fro-yo girl here. I wasn’t a fan of coffee kombucha when I made my own in 2018. At that time, I hadn’t seen coffee kombucha at a café/coffeehouse or sold in retail stores. Well, coffee kombucha is now available at Erewhon and Caffe Luxxe locations. It can also be purchased online from the Caffe Luxxe website. At Erewhon, it’s $5.99/bottle.

Caffe Luxxe's coffee kombucha is made with Montenero coffee. It is a healthy, living probiotic effervescent beverage with the same amount of caffeine as brewed coffee. Caffe Luxxe launched bottled Coffee Kombucha in March 2021. It’s said to be the first coffee kombucha on the market.

Available flavors: Originale, Vanilla, Black Cherry, Cola

Originale: According to Caffe Luxxe, Originale has hints of dark chocolate, caramel, orange peel and a balanced, smooth tart finish. It’s made with three ingredients: coffee, organic kombucha culture, and organic brown sugar. One bottle is 16 fl oz, 90 calories, 14g total sugars, and 1g protein. It smelled fine – like alcoholic coffee vinegar. I had a few sips and did not like the flavor. The fermentation seemed to enhance the acidity and the bitterness of the coffee. The aftertaste was acidic though the acidity wears away and you can taste more of the coffee afterwards. Mr. Froyo likes it but I found it too harsh – and I like vinegar! But bitter vinegar is a different story.

Caffe Luxxe has seven locations in Southern California. They roast their own coffee beans.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
