Lighthouse Coffee - 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 yummy matcha ??

Nice little coffee shop on the Mesa with an open, airy feeling. Plenty of room to sit, chat, or work. Coffee and teas are good, staff is friendly.Kid-friendliness: It's a coffee shop where people are chatting or working. Families and children that can vibe with this will be more than welcome.Parking: Large parking lot but it's often packed. Patience in driving around a time or two should net you a spot.

It's a cool little coffee house, don't really have more than that to say. Nice people running the place and it seems like almost everybody there was sipping coffee and focusing on their PCsFood: 4/5

Not only do I not understand why people keep going to this terrible location to get terrible coffee from terrible people, but I sincerely don't know how they even raised enough money to open another terrible location. Who is this delusional that they keep returning for this pasta water labeled as coffee served by teenagers who were never trained and run by people who are inept at running a business?

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 remaining customers….
