Many of my friends like coffee as a means of soothing and settling our brains. Even if you are not a frequent client, the employees will greet you warmly and assist you with your needs. This restaurant is excellent since you can also order dessert. There are several delectable sweets available here. Dont be concerned; everything is worth paying for. Its delicious! Must give it a shot!
Everything was sensibly estimated food and beverages. A faithful client here! Im profoundly dazzled by how they took care of the assistance effectively without any problems whatsoever. Their team was extremely viable and genuine for the duration of the day. Im extremely loosened up the entire day I remained at this café. Job done the right way.
Amazing hidden gem. I love their coffee and very friendly staff members!
I’m hard pressed to give any location a one star review but Lighthouse managed to hit that threshold. Despite being branded as specializing in coffee, they have seemingly no variety in beans, roast, or tasting notes to choose from. The drink prices, other than a basic coffee or tea, are roughly 20% more than you would pay at a Starbucks, and their food prices are astronomically high. I made it just inside my front door before their travel cup gave out leaving me with a lovely mess and very little coffee to try; it wasn’t special. The second piece of my order was intended to be a chai latte, however it ended up being, as far as I can tell, a hot chocolate. Pretty much a total strikeout.Sorry guys, but I’d pass.
Formerly known as, The Good Cup, this cafe got a full on flip my house renovation and it looks good! New owners, new interior, new everything as of 2018. They even carry the towns best local espresso here, Handlebar Coffee, and pastries from the same bakery Handlebar uses. Its now a very beachy, communal style environment with strong wifi, a few scattered outlet options, booths, tables and out door patio seating. The bathrooms are a breath of fresh air too, which, if you knew Good Cup before, is really the cherry on top of this cafe renovation.While in town I visited a handful of times trying their cucumber toast, oat milk latte, and acái bowls. All a few cents more than I would like to spend but well worth the purchases, would 100% recommend, and will be back for more! Handlebar Coffee, in and of itself, is a gem and the fact that theres a venue on the Mesa that carries it now just raised property values significantly, in my opinion! Its a must try, and oat milk is the best cream to combo it with.The staff here are all so sweet and hardworking! They make a point to remember so many customers names and keep things personable in a professional manner. They are super knowledgable on the brand and get things done in a prompt manner. I have nothing but great things to say about the food, drinks, and staff here. Oh and theyre pet friendly (outside) so theres usually really awesome dogs hanging out nearby.The parking lot seems to always have some construction going on and is definitely not ideal to find a spot quickly around lunch or dinner time. Lazy Acres, the amazing grocery store, is right across the lot + CVS and a hair salon are right next door the the cafe. Lighthouse brings a well fitting, super chill vibe to the Mesa in a modern fashion that fits the community perfectly and is well worth a visit.
Everything I had here was delicious. The avocado toast and the almond butter toast were both amazing, though i do wish they had some sweeter toast options. Its a popular place so make sure to get there early to beat the weekend crowd!
Cool Staff with quick service.Clean and Open Space.Plenty of seating (Indoor and Outdoor) with a multitude of outlets for electronics.Great Coffee/Espresso and Tea Lattes.The varieties of milks and flavorings make it a nice place for vegan consumers.
What happened to the review I just wrote!! 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 sub par food.
The bagels and cream cheese are good but the coffee is watered down So I don’t get my coffee there but I would recommend that the management goes around to different coffee houses in checks to see with the competition is doing. I would ask management to put more coffee in their mixes when they do their regular coffee blends. If others share my perspective please provide input so that we can get this coffeehouse to provide the best coffee for the neighborhood
Great coffee but terrible service I have been going to lighthouse even before it was light house but it seems the new staff is lacking in the manners category honestly just rude people I will take my business elsewhere.
Great coffee, breakfast foods (muffins, pastries, yogurt and acai bowls, and breakfast sandwiches). Pricey, but in accordance for the area.
Excellent! You gotta try the bagel with cream cheese and lox. Just delicious!
Rude young staff the brunette girl with the tattoo on her arm has a lot of attitude and her co worker
Terrible drinks, didnt finish 3.5 oz of it. 2 oat milk Gibraltars. Steamed way too hot, extraction was watered down and overextracted, maybe something like 1 to 3 or more. They were quite busy so they may not care but just trying to provide some constructive feedback.
This coffee house is amazing. Love the house blend.Thank you!
The lady working there is so funny and makes a good cup!
Coffee is delicious here, lots of pastries and breakfast options. They have gluten free muffins. Service always smiling and pleasant. Favorite coffee shop in town.
Seriously wonderful- I was lucky enough to stop by a couple times when visiting family in the area recently. The atmosphere is perfect- great for conversation or some productive work- the coffee delicious, and the food incredible. I had an almond croissant one morning, and Ive honestly been day dreaming about their avocado toast ever since I had it the second day. Definitely will stop back next time I visit, wish we had a place even half as good in my town.
Cucumber toast is legit. And their coffee is basically the same quality as Starbucks. Good outdoor seating for pandemic. Wifi good. Nowhere to plug in though.....
Great coffee!!
Excellent product very artistic staff..service a bit slow
New favorite coffee shop! The atmosphere is great for studying or catching up with some friends. There are plenty of tables inside and a few outside, but the place can get pretty packed. If you need an outlet to charge, Id recommend grabbing a table along the wall. Theres a very clean bathroom inside, which is a huge perk if you plan to stay here for a few hours!Ive tried their Iced Chai with Almond Milk, Iced Latte with Almond Milk, and Cucumber Toast. All were delicious and I love that they have a variety of non-dairy milk options (soy, almond, oat). They also have a case of pastries featuring some local artisanal donuts from Hook and Press!One thing to keep in mind if youre trying to reduce your single-use plastic: bring your own cup for all iced drinks! Unfortunately, they only have plastic cups which they use for for here orders. The smallest size for the iced drinks is 16oz, so make sure to bring a large enough cup. I brought my own cup the second time I came and saved $0.25!!! Save money and save the earth while sipping on some delicious drinks :)
It was a busy Monday morning when we visited. But food we ordered was worth the long wait 👌vegetarian option available, restroom available
When theres a blue moon and surf in Santa Barbara, this is the best place to start my morning! Everything is nice: the people, the modern beachy decor, the coffee... They open nice and early too, so I can get out and catch some nice waves down the street!
Outside seating, partly shady and sun,inside multiple small tables great for laptops,coffee,pastries and more.
Good coffee, pastry, and other snacks. Fast service and friendly staff. Great place to sit outside. I miss the funky atmosphere of the old place a little. But definitely go here!
This place is wonderful, bright, bustling, good food, great coffee, and phenomenal service. Conveniently located next to cvs and lazy acres. Lots of students and professionals camp out here and do productive things. Wish they had more outlets though. Wonderful energy all around!
Great lattes and a wide selection of pastries from Renauds and Hook & Press. They also have other food items on their menu. Friendly staff. The space has a great feel to it - very open, light, and airy. Outdoor seating also available.
Friendly place, have had several drinks and theyre consistently good, with a good selection of milk alternatives as well.
Tim and the rest at lighthouse are great!! The best coffee shop in town and the people that work there make it work. The coffe is good but You cannot find a more genuinely friendly staff. They are the reason I come back time and time again. Recommend!!!!
Nice coffee spot. Americano was great and danishes are good as well.
Not impressed by their coffee. I would have expected a freshly made one.
Horrible watered down coffee. Might as well go to Mc Donald’s. Was very disappointed ☹️
Awesome coffee and service.
The wifi wouldnt work on 2 computers I had with me. Its very crowded with limited seating. Didnt have a great experience
Great service, great staff. Avo toast is a specialty. Fun music nights on occasion with full beer and wine! Great addition to Mesa.
Favorite coffeeshop in SB! The atmosphere, food, drinks, & friendly staff make it a weekend ritual.
Good drink and food selection, friendly staff, priced on the higher side, often crowded with limited seating to choose from.
Perfect for working or studying. Friendly staff. Good coffee and food.
Such a cute coffee shop with good vibes. I really like matcha latte here. The staffs are very friendly
This is a friendly, comfortable place, with excellent coffee and goodies. A really pleasant place to spend time.

Beth is that place and her staff! They offer you smiles and love at every order and it makes the day better!
