    Omg the pizza here is amazing!!! Sourdough crust! We biked there and took the pizza back to our campsite. The crust was baked perfectly and they have really delicious pepperoni!

    Not a lengthy review because we only stopped here for coffees on our way home from Santa Barbara. Coffees were fine. Freshly made espresso cortado and an iced Americano. Coffees were freshly made and tasty and strong. Perfect! I actually didn't take a picture of the coffees, but I did take pictures of this eclectic little spot. It's kind of tucked into an industrial looking building close to the beach. They've got coffees, bakery goods, pepperoni pizzas and soap and gifty knick knack type items. The young woman who took our order and made our coffees was great!

    Tri Tip Sandwich and Iced Matcha Latte

    Stopped by after visiting Canzelle Alpacas. Cute little shop with quick, friendly service with outdoor seating. It's located next to a tire shop, limited parking in the lot & street. Enjoyed their iced matcha latte & tri tip sandwich with sourdough bread. They have honey samples, ended up buying some chapparral honey, other flavors were sage, wildflower & avocado.

    Trying this place for the first time. Ordered the margharit pizza added pepperoni. Very delicious. Also had tri tip sandwich with pesto. Bike ride or walking distance away from camping. They also offer coffee, ice cream, pastries and many other items.

    I've been going to Santa Barbara Hives since they opened up. A locally owned small business, SB Hives sells locally made, high quality products! Personally, I go there to get their soaps but have purchased many other items for myself as well as gifts for others.

    What an interesting little place! Great coffee & treats. Very unique shopping area with a variety of honeys, candles, and small gift items. I enjoyed a great cup of coffee & dessert. The staff was very friendly & helpful.

    Santa Barbara Hives is a true local gem in Carpinteria! Their honey, straight from their own hives, is the best local honey I've ever tasted. I'm gluten-free, but their sourdough bread is so high quality that I'm able to enjoy it--hands down the best sourdough I've ever had. The BLT is to die for, and the coffee is delicious. They're open 7am-7pm every day except Monday. Be sure to call in your organic sourdough pizza order--you won't regret it! They also offer catering for your next event. Plus, you'll find local flowers and beautiful boutique kitchen items, handmade soaps, art, and more. 10/10 -- highly recommend!

    Thank you for all the treats! Will be back again

    I think, no I know finding this treasure was the highlight of our weekend overnight! We came in late Saturday night and direly needed coffee and a lite bite. Do yourself a favor and STOP HERE! This wonderful cafe and bakery is also The perfect spot for last minute gifts, birthday gifts, gifts just because. While you wait for your organic coffee you can browse around the shop. You will probably end up buying things you like, love, and need! Shopping not your thing, that's ok, weird, but ok. You can take yourself to the back and sample their honey and hot honey offerings. Careful though once you taste it's impossible not to purchase. :) Coffee! We ordered two oat milk lattes one vanilla and one oat. Came out hot and strong the espresso comes through beautifully. On the second day we ordered two cashew milk lattes, one with vanilla and honey. Do yourself a favor get the house made cashew milk and local wildflower honey latte. The cashew milk is a little thicker on the tongue but is so delicious with the honey. It's smooth and velvety as well. (Note to self ask if they sell their cashew milk next time.) Pizza! So I have a whole bunch of auto immune disorders which basically make bread a no no, however the gods are merciful and I can enjoy sourdough. The pizza is sourdough!!! AND they have dairy free cashew Parmesan! It's an absolute must to walk over order a pizza and enjoy it by your campfire. Pastries! We ordered the chocolate and plain croissant they were hot out of the oven and I decided eating gluten and dealing with the consequences later was worth it . 13/10 would absolutely do again. It's worth it to ask when these will be hot out of the oven and coming back to purchase then! How often do you get to experience hot melt in your mouth croissants? Breakfast! If you don't follow any of my above advice from this review a least do this. Order the almond butter and honey breakfast sandwich. It will change how you view sourdough. I always thought sourdough was a savory treat. I now realize I have been eating sourdough wrong my entire life. Sourdough was made to be paired with creamy runny almond butter and thick honey. TLDR: order a cashew latte, buy a hot pastry, consume and almond butter breakfast sandwich, order a pizza, and do some shopping. Gluten free and dairy free options! Thank me later!

    Look at that marbled bread! It was delish.  I'm just sorry I didn't get a photo before we cut into it.

    While walking to the local grocery store to get bread to go with our seafood stew, we stumbled upon this place. What a great find. We bought the Charcoal Sourdough that paired so nicely with dinner. SBH will be our new go to when visiting Carp! Bonus- the person behind the counter was friendly! If you're looking for pastries, cheesecake, bread or a unique gift, give this place a shot.

    Absolutely loved this cafe, the staff was friendly and helpful and happy to be there…read more The drinks were amazing, sadly genetics have decided that milk is actively trying to kill me so I have to drink alt milks like oat or almond, this place makes their own fresh alt milks daily and it's like nothing else I have tried, it doesn't feel like a second thought it is genuinely good. And it's a such a cute little cafe and a quiet town, we have been itching to go back ever since, to try more of their food items and of course get more coffee :).

    I was excited to try this cafe with my friends after seeing that it had many positive Yelp reviews,…read morebut I was severely disappointed in the taste of my drink and in the service throughout our visit. Though the shop was cute, clean, and had a lovely covered patio outside, I wouldn't recommend it for those stopping by for coffee on road trips. I got a seasonal spring drink called the Irish Cream Mocha and asked for it iced. Unfortunately, it just tasted like chocolate milk. Now, I like a good chocolate milk, but not when I paid for a specialty flavored mocha! I didn't detect an Irish cream flavor or even a hint of mocha. As a latte, it was way too milky and lacked the depth of an espresso drink. Contrary to its description on the menu, it wasn't balanced at all. How misleading. My friend tried one of the craft energy drinks, and it looked pretty, but she said that it was flat and tasted kinda meh. She also got a visually-appealing soda, which apparently tasted much better compared to the energy drink. Another friend ordered the seasonal Dulce de Leche Latte, and she mentioned that it was a bit too light-tasting as a latte. That checks out since my mocha also seemed like it was missing the coffee component haha. Her latte did taste like a caramelly drink made with actual dulce de leche, but she didn't appreciate that the "light" dusting of cinnamon was more like a heaping teaspoon of it thrown into the drink. We noticed that our receipts showed a higher price than what was printed on the menus. We only found out after paying and reviewing the receipts that they charge $0.75 for making drinks iced. We weren't informed of this charge by any of the ladies at the registers upon ordering, and we didn't see any signs stating that iced drinks would incur an additional charge. No explanation anywhere. Another thing that threw me off was when a certain barista handed off the completed drinks in the pickup area. She wasn't wearing gloves, and I don't think she washed her hands in-between tasks, but she was placing the drinks onto the counter while holding them by the top part, aka the lid from where people drink! I was shocked at how unbothered she was while doing that, as if that's how she was trained, or she was never corrected.

    Lost and found Café, I love this place. For the longest time we thought it was a coffee shop. Last…read moreSunday, for the first time my wife and I walked in, to get a cup of coffee, the owner greeted us and told us "the coffee is on the house ". Lost and Found is a gift shop operated by locals, they have locally made gifts, paintings, coffee table books, Christmas ornaments and many other decorating items. If you ever visit Carpinteria and like to get some souvenirs, this is the place to shop at.

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.
