Sugarfina announces acquisition of Caffe Luxxe

Luxury candy boutique, Sugarfina, announced its acquisition of Caffe Luxxe, the upscale Los Angeles-based coffee roaster and caffe chain, through a 100% stock merger. This acquisition marks Sugarfina’s third strategic roll-up, continuing its vision of building a dynamic portfolio of elevated specialty brands.

Founded in 2006, Caffe Luxxe set out to create spaces where people could slow down, connect, and enjoy quality coffee. Today, there are seven Caffe locations across affluent coastal communities, with plans to open Culver City in January and continue expanding into thoughtfully selected neighbourhood locations in the years ahead. Caffe Luxxe plans to rebuild its Pacific Palisades location, lost in the January fire. Additionally, Caffe Luxxe operates a diversified eCommerce site and subscription platform, complemented by wholesale distribution to cafes, restaurants, offices and boutique hotels, and most recently, an expansion into gourmet grocers and specialty stores.

As part of the integration, Caffe Luxxe will fold into the Sugarfina Corporation portfolio, streamlining core functions across HR, legal, finance, digital marketing, E-commerce, and wholesale sales. This alignment sets the stage for accelerated long-term growth, supporting our expansion strategies and delivering value creation for our shareholders.

“We are thrilled to welcome Caffe Luxxe into the Sugarfina family and look forward to combining our shared passion for creating memorable experiences for our customers,” said Scott LaPorta, CEO of Sugarfina. “I have been a longtime fan of the Caffe Luxxe brand, frequenting their locations, which have always stood out for exceptional quality and community presence. We are excited to bring this exact presence and quality to new communities in the near future.”

“We are excited to join the Sugarfina family and bring our Caffe Luxxe experience to a broader audience,” said Mark Wain, co-Founder and president of Caffe Luxxe. “This merger represents an exciting new chapter for our team, our customers, and our brand, and we look forward to collaborating with Sugarfina to continue delivering exceptional coffee experiences.”
