My sister and I are here from out of town, staying with our aunt who has a house nearby. We were walking by looking for coffee and found this place. I work at a cafe back home so I'm super picky about things like matcha and espresso but we were talking to the owners son and he assured me that everything they used were made with clean ingredients and talked me into ordering an iced strawberry matcha. Holy shit, it was so good my sister ended up getting the same thing and then we went back again today and brought our aunt bc she needed to see it and she ended up ordering a tamale and that was so good she insisted I write this review. So yeah such a cute vibe, the people working are super nice and knowledgeable about their products. Definitely worth getting the matcha and whatever food they have on special that day. Would be regulars if we lived nearby :) read more

Great variety of drinks and all well-made. Tried the cafe de olla latte for the first time, and it was delicious. Not too sweet.

Very mid and bad coffee. Look like other places worth eating in the town. The location and staff were fine but the coffee was just not great

Awesome local owned cafe! I recently checked out Carp Moon Cafe with my girlfriend as I had a calling for an iced latte. The person taking my order was very nice and friendly, proving the upmost paitence while my indecisive self decided on specifics. The coffee was rather pleasant tasting, working well with the caramel I requested. I really appreciated the small touch of water being avalible on the counter. Truly, you can tell that the individuals who run this place are so caring for their customers. I will be back and hopefully soon at that! read more

Best coffee shop! Our food was delicious and our drinks were great! Very friendly staff and service.

I am not exaggerating when I say the Milky Way latte is one of the best lattes I've had in Santa Barbara County. Also their coffee is strong so you don't need to add any extra shots. read more

While I would LOVE to give Carp Moon Café 5-Stars, I can't... despite the fact that their coffee is terrific, staff like Angelina are great, the location is the best in Caro and the ambiance is fantastic... Why you ask? 1) Their largest size hot and cold drinks are tiny (see pictures). 2) They open too late to get a cup of coffee on the way to work... 3) They miss the boat on simple things like stoppers for their hot beverage tops. By the time I got to my car, the top and my hand were drenched in coffee. 4) They are a pork only establishment. Apparently, the owner is not interested in serving customers who do not eat the other white meat. With so many pluses, it is a shame the owner is not focused on the little things that make good, great! read more

The service was so great - the mom and son who took and made our order were so helpful and courteous. Then the Avo toast and breakfast sandwich were AMAZING - made right in front of us and hot when handed over, we will definitely be going back! read more

Starting with positives, good selection of muffins and made fresh waffle. Does feel cozy inside, decor is a bit random/eclectic. But the pricing was no where to be found, the menus had the prices striked out. The former yelp menu had a burrito for $9, now it is $14. The waffle was $10, now it is $16. I think for transparency the pricing should be written on the menu signage so you know what the costs are and do not have to be surprised or ask about each item. Also the barista was taking all the orders from several customers at once and after proceeded to make drinks, stopping to take more orders as new customers entered. So it took a good 15-20 min for the 5 of us to get our drinks. Next time I'll probably stick with lucky llama. read more

I tried their cappuccino with oatmilk and it was a perfect drink to start the day! Service and ambiance both really good read more

My burrito was so yummy and the salsa was so good 10/10. Shoutout to Brandon he was great at providing wonderful service :)

As soon as we walked in the girl said "be with you in a minute" and proceeded to slowly smear cream cheese on a bagel for about 5 minutes. She rubbed her nose with her hand and then kept going with the bagel. No glove. Then another girl finally got to the register and just stared at us. No "how are you?" or "what can I get for you?" As someone who works in customer service, their attitudes were horrible and they were extremely rude. At least they were nice enough to remake the drink that they made incorrectly. The coffee itself wasn't anything special, Starbucks is better. read more

Our server was super friendly! Had a caffe latte with oat milk cinnamon and honey and it was AMAZING. hands down one of the best lattes.

Customer service was terrible. The young man was dismissive of my very reasonable requests. This was my first time here (Pacific was unexpectedly closed) and I would never return. Go across the street to Pacific Health foods for your smoothie and juice needs. read more

Best breakfast burrito, and avocado toast. Clean cute restaurant in the heart of downtown. Super friendly staff AND they even give out a pup cup for the fur babies. read more

Here "While recently visiting Carpinteria beach, we had the pleasure of experiencing Carp Moon Cafe. It was by far the most exceptional breakfast spot we tried in the area. The quality of service was outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed the avocado toast, which was truly next level. The breakfast sandwich was also delicious, and their coffee was off the chain. I highly recommend Carp Moon Cafe for a delightful dining experience!" read more

The Carp Moon Cafe is a wonderful place to enjoy a tasty breakfast with great tasting coffee, as well as a variety of other drinks.. With its comfortable setting smack dab in the center of Carpinteria and the kind and professional service that the staff provides, you'll surely leave happily satisfied with intentions of returning again and again ! read more

Love, love, love Carp Moon Cafe. Not only is their coffee great but they always have the best music playing in the background and the warmest people behind the counter. I get their iced or hot americanos and the iced oat milk dirty chai. Great quality coffee and it's great to work out of there sometimes to mix it up. read more

Greetings all, this coffee cafe is a gem as I know a great cup of coffee when it hits my lips. I know lovely energy and ambiance. When I walked in the owner greeted me with such warmth! My expresso was strong and organic. We had the breakfast sandwich and the avocado bagel. Both were made with such care. I can't wait to return. Plus, they have a book club, books to read, and and a water station. I am enamored. read more

Helpful, friendly, accommodating, they gave us suggestions, made our drinks custom, and ... for the first time EVER, they came outside (where they have beautiful shaded seating, to confirm we were enjoying our drinks. It's perfectly situated on the corner of linden. They offered tasty vegan treats. And seating indoor and outdoor was comfortable. The inside is full of fun eye-candy in terms of colorful trinkets and art. This is a lovely shop. We'll be back. read more

Friendly cashier and barista however the coffee was so bad I took one sip and unfortunately had to throw away. The coffee cup even had coffee grounds on it lol will not be returning and would not recommend for $7 a cup read more

Really excellent coffee & breakfast burrito! The interior is so cute like you're in a living room--really accentuating the small town coffee shop vibes. We ordered 2 bacon breakfast burritos, an americano, and the cafe de olla latte. The coffees were perfect just as they were: the latte not too sweet but absolutely what I was expecting, and the americano wasn't watery or bitter. The burritos were FANTASTIC. I'm happy to say Carp Moon seasons their food PERFECTLY. A few other breakfasts in the vicinity lacked seasoning, were cold, or needed some flavor but not Carp Moon's burritos. Overall excellent experience and absolutely will be returning next time we're in town. read more

Got the açaí bowl. Not worth it to be honest. It was watery and bland. Went at 11am and it took over 30min for us to get our food

- Avo toast is always so good -Coffee drinks good - lavender drink was good - kids get shakes, they like them - friendly staff - don't feel rushed to leave, seating inside & outside -they have fun events read more

Stopped here on the way to Carmel for coffee. Cute ambiance. Coffee was terrible, tasted of metallic and burnt. When we used the restroom, it was clear it had been neglected for quite some time. There was feces on the floor and tracked through the restroom. It was obvious it had been there for quite some time. No toilet paper or seat covers, dispenser empty. Sink and mirror was filthy, quite frankly everything else. I can't help but question the cleanliness of the kitchen. Glad we decided not to eat here before using the restroom. read more

While out with my girlfriend this past Sunday, we decided to give this new spot a try. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by two amazing kind souls. She ordered the vanilla latte and I ordered the Cafe de Olla. Mine was made perfectly, not too sweet but with great flavor. She highly enjoyed hers. We ended up going back after lunch and ended up meeting the Owners as well as the son and other workers. Beyond happy to be able to support such beautiful and kind hearted people. We tried out the Fresh OJ and another Iced hazelnut coffee. We went home after hitting all the local shops but got hungry a while later, lol don't judge. I heard the breakfast sandwich was amazing but decided on the Avocado toast on ciabatta. Three trips and all was great and delicious. Easy to say we will be repeat customers. Hope you give them a try and enjoy as much as we did! read more

I was dropping off art at the Art Center and saw this place. Stopped in for a medium mocha and a bagel with cream cheese. The young man said "$14 please". I was like "$14 for coffee and a bagel? " And then I saw there were no prices listed on the menu board above and behind the counter. I thought that very strange. No prices in the bakery cabinet either. I of course paid, and the coffee was very good and the bagel was very good, but I'm thinking, I could have gotten a full breakfast next door for that price. Not sure it will end up being a local hangout for coffee and a bagel every morning. Good luck. read more

I love this place. Currently sat inside. Coffee is excellent. I had a wonderful Tamales too. The staff are friendly. The air con is incredible. The wifi is fast. Perfect place to work in. read more

I love the vibes here. Everyone working is so friendly, I like how I was able to bring my dog in. The pastries are fresh. All the food is fresh. The coffee was so tasty. I'm a Starbucks gal, I'm picky and I was so happy with my drink at Carp Moon Cafe. I had a sandwich on a croissant, it was amazing! I'm actually sad that I don't live close to the cafe because I know I will be craving it. I definitely recommend this place. They are new and they will only improve. Can't wait to come back ^_^. read more

So if you're in the mood for coffee and pastries this is a nice place to go to. The coffee was very good both my husband and I had the coffee and we got some extra to go. I had a cinnamon roll and they heated it up for me and it was very good. The girl that waited on us, her brother made us a fruit cup. It had bananas, watermelon, blueberries and peaches was perfect. If you're looking for a hearty breakfast this really isn't the place but something light it's great. The people were very friendly and helpful and said they've been opened three months. read more
