“ Lush Cafe and Lounge is a V I B E!!! The customer service and food were top tier. My friend and I intended to eat our meal, have a drink and leave. Chile, we were there for our ENTIRE 90 minutes and ordered up the place. If you’re going, request Tye as your server, she was amazing, hilarious and was the best dancer on staff haha. Yates and DJ Biz International know how to get the party started. They had every table dancing and singing on Sing-a-Along Sunday lol Thanks to Lewis for checking in on us when our girl was busy. We appreciate the hospitality overall and we indeed will be back again and again. Y’all better get on over there and have a good time! ”
“ Wine & Jazz Wednesday is such a vibe!! Our server Tiana was very attentive and Natasha is such an amazing violinist who can play any genre. Definitely will be back! ”
“ I absolutely love the professional atmosphere at this place! The live band and exceptional food and drink menu make it perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday party, date night, or just a casual Friday or Saturday evening. They have the cutest selfie room. I haven't tried their brunch menu yet, but it looks incredible—I can't wait to go back! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the owner is always accommodating. Highly recommend! ”
“ It was my girlfriend’s birthday and her twin sister we wanted to go someplace completely different, they suggested Lush and said it was a hiphop club, it was so much more than that. The music was fantastic, the band, atmosphere, service, just an upscale club that looked like it should be located in a cool NYC corner. This black own business is incredible in keeping the clientele upscale and it’s such a change from the crappy sports bars all over Tempe. ”
“ Matthew was great! His recommendation were on point. He was very attentive and had great customer service. Talk to us, very friendly. This was my first time. I will come back. ”
“ What a great spot! I came here on a Tuesday night for a meet up, I was the only one that showed but I decided to stay for some grub and I'm glad I did! The food and drinks were incredible, the staff was attentive and kind and so friendly, the saxophone player set the mood... I wish y'all were closer to my home but I can't wait to make a return trip ”
“ **1st Visit (April 2024):** Brunch featuring chicken and red waffles, along with great drinks. The service, music, and atmosphere were good , making it a lively sing-along brunch experience. **2nd Visit (January 2025):** Late lunch/dinner with jerk chicken egg rolls, hot wings, and fries. The service was great, and the music performance kept everyone dancing all night during Vaghun Willis's birthday celebration a time was had. **3rd Visit (February 2025):** My birthday celebration included lamb fried rice with shrimp and drinks, both of which were excellent. The service was outstanding, and the poetic soul performances added to the vibe. Overall, my experiences were amazing. I’ll definitely return for special occasions and to enjoy the grown and sexy atmosphere. Only feedback there’s always room for improvement, just ensure consistent food quality with the fried food options. ”
