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!

Today I did some work homework at Lighthouse coffee. I ordered their dirty chai hot which was really good. The service was very good and it sounded like the employees enjoy working there. I liked the many outlets under the chair. I only saw a couple homeless looking people in there. The ambiance was very clean and they decorated for Xmas.

This coffee shop looked great, but sadly I wasn't able to ever try it out. I went this past Friday (day after Thanksgiving) and it was closed 15 minutes prior to the posted closing time. There was no posted holiday hours either. We were in town and made the effort to walk across the downtown area to visit only to find it closed.

12 people in (beautiful) mesa coffeeshop and I waited 15 minutes for my mocha. I left a $2.00 tip and sat down 10 feet from the counter and waited for my name to be called. I understood I was the fourth cup in line. No worries, as I was in the restaurant business for over 20 years and I totally understand. After far too long, I finally went up and asked if my mocha was forgotten. Person pointed to a cup on the counter, had my name on it, and said "Oh, it's right here!" I looked at the cup and told them that this cup had been on the counter for at least 5 minutes so I asked if it was still hot. The person looked at me as if offended, and said "absolutely". I thank them and left. On my way to my weekly business investment group I opened my mocha and it was one click above cool. Didn't feel good about this. Being in business myself, I realized I just witnessed a group of service people who probably had not been trained to understand that a happy customer should be the top priority. Talking to friends and not paying attention should be lower on the list. I just want to be a normal customer who wishes to be taken care of and not be frustrated enough to write a poor review. I did have the chance to tell this story at my business meeting. We talked about proper training and how this is a clue to a business we would never invest in. Please be truthful to your customers. You need us when the crowds go away in the winter.I want my $2 dollar tip back.

Food and coffee are awesome! The vibe was perfect for studying, and it was so cute inside. The only thing is speed. The wait for food was quite long, our drinks came out relatively quickly for how busy they were.
My wife loved the chia tea latte with almond milkService was excellent and a great place to relax

They make people toast their own bagels? 4 employees standing around behind the counter and a line of customers is forming around a toaster ill placed next to the cream on the condiment bar? Incredibly poor design.

This is my favorite lighthouse location. Better than the east side, chapala and goleta for sure. Always lots of parking and nice mesa location. Its across from Lazy Acres. Their coffee is Handlebar. Their food, at least the pastries are from Renaud's Patisserie. The place was remodeled not too long ago and its really clean and contemporary inside. The other great thing about this place is that it has electrical plugs for your laptops and phones so that you can work from here. Most coffee shops in SB have eliminated that feature.

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.
