Lighthouse Coffee — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

I can't help but gush about Lighthouse Coffee on the Mesa! The Mesa is home to me and you will always find me there! From the moment I stepped foot into their charming coffee shop, I knew I had found my go-to matcha that I simply can't live without. Their welcoming ambiance, combined with the soothing aroma of freshly whisked matcha, instantly puts me in the perfect mood.

Every visit to Lighthouse Coffee is an absolute delight. The baristas are not just skilled in crafting the most exquisite matcha beverages; they genuinely care about their customers' preferences, ensuring that each cup is perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Whether it's a classic matcha latte with expertly frothed milk or a delicious cup of coffee, their dedication to quality never disappoints.

All in all, Lighthouse Coffee has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. I love bringing my laptop and getting some work done 🏡📑 while I sip my...

This location (Near Lazy Arces) could use some help. . Today at this location oat cap ok, not great but drinkable, has been a lot better. Peanut butter banana toast is a no. Bread is brittle and tasteless, banana very very scanty. Why bother getting this? Just don't yet I've had yummy food and coffee from the Goleta location. So hit or miss. Maybe it's the location???

At times this place has been wonderful. Today both my cap and my breakfast sandwich were terrible!!! Had to throw away the badly made, sour cap. For the price charged expect consistency with coffee drinks that are tasty,, well made and leaves one feeling satisfied, not horrified with sour improperly flat heavy stomachache inducing cap and wads of salt poured into the sloppily made sandwich.

Maybe a bad day for the staff or inadequate care or training of the staff but I did not appreciate expensive ...

The very last time at Lighthouse…

The two girls working at that time (2/20 at 1ish pm) were both very unfriendly and unprofessional with us, and it was not the first time at the Mesa location.

They deprioritized our drinks and made us wait for 15 minutes for two coffees, and it was not a busy time at all. They were preparing other drinks that were ordered later, and with no more drinks in the queue, the two “baristas” went to the back office for 5 minutes and then came back to prepare the two coffees.

Once, we were out for a walk and tried one of the coffees; it had no taste and was cold (weird!)

Again, it may not be a big deal, but it was not the first time at this place. Very sad! Thank SB has many other great alternatives for coffee!

Thank you, Lighthouse; I hope you will do better next time if you want to keep any...
