Lucky Llama Coffee House

We come here every year, and every year they never disappoint! A wonderful little coffee shop. They’re always on top of it, even if it’s crazy busy! The avocado toast was a little difficult to eat, but it tasted amazing!

Not a vego cafe, they have bacon on the menu😒 Otherwise a nice cafe. Cosy vibes, lots of outdoor seating & in a great location. We had an açai bowl, avo toast & oat latte - all delicious!

You can say a tree lead me to discover Lucky Llama Coffee in Carpinteria, CA. The tree in particular is the largest Torrey Pine tree in the world. That beauty is roughly 125 feet tall and girthy at 20.5 inch circumference. As I was soaking in the shower but of the majestic marvel, I noticed Lucky Llama Coffee. The building is set a bit back from the tree. And luvin the stinky cute name and signage.

The next morning, I dropped on in to Lucky Llama. The interior is tiny. The seating is mainly the outside patio. The line was out the door but it moved quickly. I ordered a Mayan mocha made with oat milk. Delicious. Ohhh it was smooth and creamy. Chocolatey but not candy bar chocolate tasting, more like quality cocoa. I sat outside and leisurely enjoyed my mocha. Again admiring the Torrey pine tree from afar. The patio had chill, relaxed vibes. It's dog friendly as well.

The menu also includes acai bowls, bagels, muffins, avocado toast, bagel sandwiches, croissants, cinnamon roll, and cookies. They baked goods were all gorgeous looking and sitting pretty behind the glass counter.

Open daily from 6:30 am-2:30pm.

This place is top notch! I’ve been going here for years, and will continue for many more. They have great coffee, and the açaí bowls are the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. They also have some of the coolest colored merch I’ve seen. Keep up the fantastic vibes.

One of the best Açaí that I ever ate, and this based on the fact that I lived and travelled throughout Brazil a lot!
Also the Toasts are delicious!
All very natural and not too sweet.

I love lucky llama! Been coming here for 7+ years and it truly never disappoints. I stopped by the other day and ordered the breakfast bagel sandwhich and was so impressed that I had to write a review!! For $12.50 you get this GIANT bagel that includes egg, cream cheese, micro greens, bacon and cheese! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming! My drink was ready in 2-3 minutes and my food came shortly after! I would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing some breakfast and a drink :) their outdoor patio is so lovely. Thanks lucky llama I will continue coming back!
