When I lived on the Mesa it was my go-to coffee shop. Lots of space, No soft chairs, difficult to park, and always filled with millennials working on their computers! Good smooth lattes!

I visited Lighthouse Coffee today and had their breakfast sandwich along with the cucumber toast. Both were delicious — the sandwich was hearty and satisfying, and the cucumber toast was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. The ambience inside is warm and inviting, making it a nice spot to start the morning.
The coffee was good, though the flavor could be a bit more balanced to match how great the food is. Overall, a very pleasant experience and definitely a place I’d return to.

Went twice on the same weekend. Had a Gibraltar (cortado), cappuccino, honey lavender latte, and a drip coffee/black and all were good. The breakfast sandwich, lox bagel, and acai bowl were also all tasty and well made with good quality ingredients. In particular the salmon/lox was great and not even a hint of fishiness that often happens when breakfast places leave some of the dark meat in it.
Has plenty of seating inside and out, and ample parking. Indoors they have acoustical panels on the ceiling that cut down on the noise from lack of other soft surfaces in the room, a nice touch. Prices reasonable for coastal California/Santa Barbara.

The atmosphere was dim, and the employees appeared disengaged, with none displaying a welcoming demeanor. The coffee was subpar, while the pastry was passable. Overall, I would not recommend this establishment.

Good value. Breakfast sandwich is solid
Love this place but especially appreciate not having dogs inside...no pet sign on the door but 2 big dogs up with faces on the counter....worker came out and fed them then right back to making drinks without washing her hands....disgusting.
Breakfast sandwich was good nothing too crazy but enjoyable. Bagel it came with was pretty awesome. Mocha was not too sweet and coffee forward. Everything wasn’t all brought out to our table so had to go check, but no biggie.

Good strong coffee! Nice to work here! Feeling disappointed about the banana toast. It’s a tiny skinny piece for the $$$$

Amazing coffee shop open from early hours. I had a hot dirty chai, and it was extremely rich in flavor and one of the top chai’s i’ve had in California. The cafe is so cozy with a charging port, water station, and a clean restroom. Recommended!
