Just poor experience. Food was meh and the girl who helped us was super rude. Will not be back!

Great spot to get some work done! I stopped by on a Saturday around noon, and there were plenty of people working on their laptops. The staff were welcoming and kind and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered an iced matcha latte with honey and a breakfast sandwich, both were really good! Parking is limited in their small lot, but there's also street parking nearby. read more

I don't know if it was the long train ride or if the staff single-handedly caught that fish for the lox bagel. Ridiculously good and flavorful. ALTHOUGH i do hear the avocado toast lacks flavor.... chai latte with WHOLE MILK was so good I thank my mom for not making me lactose intolerant. Overall happy read more

Lighthouse Coffee was such a great find! I tried the cucumber toast and an ice blended coffee with espresso both were delicious and super refreshing. The ambiance is amazing: relaxed, welcoming, and just overall really good vibes. The staff were friendly and the whole place felt safe and comfortable to hang out in. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting again soon! read more

Grabbed a lox bagel and empanada. Overall, the lox was great- it's balanced. It too much of the fish of other ingredients. The empanadas were a bit smaller than expected but good in flavor! read more

First time coming to Lighthouse and loved how open the space is. Would be so easy to post up and study in a place like this. Had lots of seating and sounded around easily so it didn't feel so loud even with a lot of people there. Not many outlets for charging things though. I ordered a raspberry oat milk latte. A little strong on the raspberry but loved how creamy the latte was. The people behind the bar were really sweet and friendly! Would come back. read more

Cute coffee shop on Chapala across the street from Paseo Nuevo shopping center. Open concept sitting area with friendly staff. People seemed to visit to have coffee and a meal, while they study or complete work. I did see several dogs, so it looks like they are pet friendly as well. I ordered a dirty chai latte and it was standard. I enjoyed my visit and recommend it to anyone who happens to be in the area and is looking for a quick treat. Also, they have a parking lot on site that is shared with other venues, and there is also a parking garage for the Paseo Nuevo shopping center that offers the first 75 minutes complimentary. read more

Extremely slow service and bland tasting coffee is the best way to sum up Lighthouse Coffee. I'm not sure if I caught them on a bad day but I literally thought I lost my taste the coffee was so bland. The coffee took about 5 minutes but the food took more than 30 minutes! By the time it came it wasn't even enjoyable since it took so long. The employee also never gave us the croissant we ordered and when we reminded her she sold all the other ones. They are extremely understaffed and it is highly disappointing. The pros is the immense amount of seating indoors and outdoors. This would be a great spot to study at. There is also a parking lot and some street parking surrounding. However, other coffee shops in the area also have parking along with good service and better tasting coffee. read more

Great service and ambiance! We had breakfast here yesterday, I ordered 2 avocado toasts and a hot chocolate with oatmilk and my fiancée had an açai bowl with a hot chocolate as well.

Lox Bagel 9.47/10- this was absolutely delicious, they ran out of bagels so I was a bit scared to get it on an English muffin cause I didn't think it would be that good but it was actually amazing. The lox and cream cheese were incredibly fresh. The capers and red onions complemented it perfectly and the English muffin was toasted perfectly. It honestly tasted like a half bagel or skinny bagel if that makes sense. Great times with Charlotte what a time read more

We stopped in here for a light breakfast and refreshing drinks. I originally ordered their special drink which was displayed at the counter but they stated they didn't have it (why display it then) my wife ordered matcha latte and lox bagel. They stated they didn't have bagels so she had to order it on sourdough bread. I had pomegranate tea and açaí bowl. They brought us the food and my drink but it wasn't until I mentioned my wife's drink did they finally realize they didn't even make it yet. The lox was good the açaí bowl had fresh fruit but the bottom was just a juice extremely soup like. I wouldn't recommend coming back here. Service wasn't that great and food was alright. Plenty of other brunch places where service and food would be better. read more

I was very hungry after I went to the DMV in SB so came here on foot (maybe about 7 minutes walk?) If you want to come here by car, there is a small parking in front of the cafe and also you can find a parking in the neighborhood. Tables close to the wall have outlets to charge your phone and computer. The croissant and coffee I ordered were good. read more

The barista was so rude and unwelcoming-- even though I had begun an order and just had to cancel and leave.

Got an iced matcha unsweetened and it was so delicious! They have a really high grade of matcha! The entire staff was so friendly at 7am! That takes talent!! Next time I'm in SB will be coming back! read more

Needed to kill some time so I popped in for a snack and a Breve. The breakfast sandwich was actually very delicious! Fresh ingredients. I chose English Muffin vs Bagel. I was very satisfied with my meal. Employee's were very courteous and nice. Didn't take long for my order to come out. Great people watching at the Chapala location. Come enjoy! read more

There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with lots of coffee options. My favorite is the decaf iced honey latte and I notice people enjoy the iced matcha lattes. You can sit inside and work with plugs or sit in the wonderful Santa Barbara sun in front. There is music playing and sometimes it is more relaxing to just people watch and not laptop work! Staff are friendly and parking is available in the front lot. Highly recommend for a nice morning or afternoon brew. read more

The egg sandwich is excellent. Fast and very filling. Cooked to order, not frozen and heated like many other places. The coffee was great but nothing I couldn't find in many other places. People were very nice and helpful. read more

TL; DR: Neither fresh nor friendly Ordered chai latte, avocado toast with egg (extra $), breakfast sandwich, and cucumber toast to go. They forgot the hard boiled egg on my toast, which I paid extra for. The avocado was brown and old, not fresh. I'm pregnant so this is a bigger concern for me. Spouse said breakfast sandwich was just okay, but small portion. Waited 25 minutes to get my order and it wasn't even correct or worth it. read more

One of my absolute favorite coffee shops in town! I've been to every location now, and they each have their own quaint vibe. Food is always amazing, and not too pricey for Santa Barbara Standards. They have all kinds of coffees, hot and cold. I always go for their cold brew! read more

Great place to sit down and relax. This place is study friendly. I usually order a Iced Vanilla Chia with Oat milk and it is one of the best Chias I've had in SB so far ( i'm very picky about my chia!). We ordered the Lox Bagel and the Breakfast Sandwich, both were very good! read more

I was elated to find another Lighthouse Coffee location! My favorite java in town. With some available parking and a welcoming outdoor patio, I was able to get good and caffeinated with ease. The establishment is so clean and staff welcoming. (I believe Jess was the barista on staff unless I'm mistaken?) An utter delight, we discussed the art I on display which was so inventive and if only I had some extra moolah, or dinero, cheddar, bread, smackaroos, bucks or on hand, I would have purchased said artwork to adorn my own walls at home. A spectacular Dirty Chai (has a shot of espresso) was my beverage of choice, and it did not disappoint, all systems go! Until next time Lighthouse Coffee! read more

Still one of my favorite spots to grab a coffee and post up for some work in Santa Barbara. Very spacious facility with nice clean restrooms and a couple parking options. The coffee is delicious and unlike a lot of coffee shops in the area, this one actually offers filling breakfast options - double check on social before visiting but this has been the case every time i've gone. Great spot near downtown! Will be back. read more

Coffee great, food meh. If you have the time (20-30 mins for food and coffee), try it out. After a 40 min wait and a nudge, I got dry burnt avocado toast. I think they forgot about it and re-toasted the bread. Lots of in-door seating and small tables outdoor. read more
