US luxury candy brand Sugarfina has acquired Caffe Luxxe, a Los Angeles-based coffee roaster and café chain, through a 100% stock merger.

The deal is Sugarfina’s third recent acquisition as the company builds a portfolio of specialty consumer brands.

Founded in 2006, Caffe Luxxe operates seven cafés in Malibu, Montecito, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Santa Monica and two in Brentwood. A Culver City location is scheduled to open in January. The company also plans to rebuild its Pacific Palisades café, which was destroyed in a January fire.

Beyond its retail sites, Caffe Luxxe runs an e-commerce and subscription business and sells its products wholesale to cafés, restaurants, offices, boutique hotels, and, more recently, gourmet grocers and speciality stores.

Under the deal, Caffe Luxxe will be integrated into the Sugarfina Corporation portfolio, with HR, legal, finance, digital marketing, e-commerce and wholesale sales consolidated across the group.

Scott LaPorta, CEO of Sugarfina, said: “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. 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.”

Mark Wain, co-founder and president of Caffe Luxxe, added: “We are excited to join the Sugarfina family and bring our Caffe Luxxe experience to a broader audience. 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.”
