The food and honey are fresh and delicious, and their honey hand balm is soft and deeply moisturizing. Their staff are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet and you can tell how passionate they are about the business and making a positive impact on their community. At one point they noticed I didn't get my order in time, and brought out an extra slice to thank me for my patience, which goes to show their attention to making their customers happy and quickly correcting any mistakes. Food was extra fresh and absolutely delicious. Pepperoni Pizza - 5/5. Soft sourdough crust and mini pepperoni cups. Salad - 5/5. Fresh. Croutons and ranch made in house. Cookies - 5/5. Peanut butter chuck and chocolate chip cookies were perfectly chunky. Hot Honey - 5/5. Extra spicy (and when I say spicy, I mean spicy), and goes well with the pizza! Looking forward to stopping by their brick and mortar location soon, and trying their Tri Tip sandwich!

I love the cinnamon flavor. This time, I tried the Blueberry scone, which was warm and delicious. They bake them at the shop every day. The owner and her son are very friendly and nice. I saw their posts on SNS showing them helping local people. I thought it was wonderful, so I wanted to support their local business too. There is outdoor seating, you can have coffee with your dog! There is no parking around the café, so I park in the public parking lot near the beach. Why not stop by this café while you are at the beach or shopping in downtown Carpinteria?

For those who are familiar with the show Schitt's Creek, I would compare Lost & Found to Rose Apothecary. Instead of David and Patrick, you have two sisters named Susan and Patty who warmly welcome you in. While one could describe it as a 'general store,' others would think it isn't so 'general'. It is a communal coffee shop in that making that hopes to allow everyone to "come in and find themselves." The ultimate goal is to be open seven days a week selling a wide variety of things, including: -Specialty dark roast French coffee with milk -Freshly made goodies (including chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and an assortment of chocolate-dipped ginger, apricots and more) -Home decor and products (lotions, candles, fragrances) -Locally made art pieces, stationery and more! You can't help but notice the space's focal point of a gorgeous tropical-framed painting or all the local art that yells "Carpinteria!" I am truly excited to see this business grow and expand with the plans to have outdoor seating--particularly during these difficult times.

Whoever designed this coffee shop has an eye for all things beautiful and did a wonderful job. If I lived in the area, I'd come here more often based on the vibe alone.

We were only there for a few minutes, but I would love to come back here and sit and enjoy a coffee inside!

They are located in an unassuming shopping center anchored by an Albertsons grocery store. The donuts and all the baked goods are good ole fashion bakery made. The donuts had a traditional, classic taste. They also specialize in croissants. They have traditional $3.25, fruit filled $3.25, and hot bakes $6. Puffy, golden flaky layers. The croissants are huge, the size of my hand. Rustic looking. Not perfect looking but that just adds to the house made look. The odd thing I noticed though was the menu board. They listed prices for everything except the donuts. Where are the donut prices? They ought to change that to get some prices on the menu or labeled on the trays. Something. Having those prices listed would help out the staff deal with the same questions and sticker shocked customers.

But while waiting I counted 8 people either waiting for an online order or waiting to order. There was only one girl trying to do it all.

REVIEW: I'm usually loathe to write a review for a fast food restaurant, because each day, even each hour, the service can change. But I decided to run in here and it was a very painful experience. I presume, and relatively observed, that every employee there was busting their tail to get things done and serve the customers. My recommendation would be to order through the app to at least avoid the MASS of people waiting inside the restaurant. (However, I don't know if the delay would have been any better or worse if I had ordered through the app. Most likely, no.) It's a pretty convenient location. If you need to stop in to use the facilities or stretch your legs. Very easy to get right back on the 101. If you don't have high expectations, this should be just fine.

Modelo Cheladas-- I bought the last three for our beach trip today, and a special on Simply Lemonade-- 2 for $3, made the kiddos happy. We gassed up the Tahoe at $3.77 a gallon... A bit more expensive than the cheapest Arco prices, but not the most expensive in town by any stretch of the imagination. By luck, the location is about half way between the 5 and the 101 freeways on the 126... It's well-patrolled byte CHP, and 55 mph most of the way, but it beats sitting in a sea of stop and go brake lights on the 101 from Pasadena to Santa Barbara. 24 hours, Big Bite hotdogs on the rollers, plenty of well lit parking and easy access from two different driveways make this a really great 7-Eleven. To top it off, the cashier returns a smile and courtesy without hesitation. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you've grown accustomed to urban and inner city 7-Eleven stores.
