“We stopped in for breakfast on our way up the coast of Cali. Everything we ate and drank was delicious. I ordered the Hibiscus cold brew, the carmelised onion and goat cheese quiche, and the banana bread. Not only is everything fresh and tasty- the ambience is amazing 🤩 I think I'd fly back out just to visit this cafe 🥰“

“The best flat white ever!! We sampled lots of coffee shops in Santa Barbara , this was by far the best. The long line attests to it. Their hippie cookie is a perfect pairing and energized us for the next three hours on our road trip. We will be back!“

“Olivia is friendly and her friends barista unfortunately I don’t know her name but both of these ladies are great, professional and friendly

Thank you 😊 for great coffee“

“The girls that work at the Haley location in the AM are so nice! I so look forward to passing through on my way to work a few times a month. My friend from LA told me she comes through for the matcha latte when she's in town and it's now one of my faves. Not sweet! Which is what I like and they have a good variety of nutmilks, as well.“

“Went here after camping at El Capitan canyon for the weekend. Me and the missus were hankering for a good cup of joe after 2 days of instant.

The store was very clean and had a good vibe. Smaller indoor are but there was adequate indoor and outdoor seating. Only one barista / employee working there and he was apologetic about the wait but was extremely helpful.

I got 2 cups of pour over of their lightest roast. It was a bit too dark for my taste but smooth and not bitter at all. My oldest got the creme brulee latte and loved it.

The bacon avocado toast was the BEST! The toast, avocado, bacon, hard boiled egg and sauce was so delicious. I didn't want to share it with my partner it was so good. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was one of the best my youngest ever had apparently. He said it was better than a McDonald's cheeseburger and that WAS his favorite food of all time. Lol. He even asked when we'd be going back.

In summary. The coffee used was on the darker roast side and would probably have been better as an espresso/milk drink in my opinion. If you like darker roasts then this is the place for you. The food there was excellent and I especially recommend the avocado toast.“

“My daughter and I stopped by for a treat at Jeannine’s! We were treated like family by Donna the manager and her wonderful staff and felt like royalty! We had lattes in beautiful mugs, a gorgeous slice of fresh cake, peach Bellinis and a breakfast burrito.
This is a “must go” for a sweet and memorable visit and great atmosphere!!!“

“Really liked this coffee shop and the beautiful pictures hanging on its walls. I'm curious to find out who the photographer is, especially of the overcast sky and grey ocean. It's stunning. Anyway, nice coffee shop with great ambiance.“

“Super friendly staff here make wonderful espressos and Sunkist lattes. Despite the down vote and biblical verse quoting of another reviewer, the Mission supports this business and this business supports the Mission. The owner couldn't be more kind. It's so nice to go up and enjoy the Rose garden and get a coffee on a beautiful morning.“

“I can't even say I have a favorite. It's all good. When you bring home a warm loaf, all is well with the world.“

“Very friendly and open staff here; you'd never guess or feel like you're in Monticeto among the wealthy elites (which you are).The folks at Caffe Luxxe are so down to earth they even make friendly suggestions, since I'm no coffee connoisseur.And their Caffe Nico latte distinguishes them from other coffee shops, in Santa Barbara. This drink doesn't disappoint!“

“This location is a shining example of what’s possible when you have a stellar management team at the helm. While the entire team delivers consistently great service, the leadership deserves real credit for building such a strong, people-first culture. They’ve clearly hired a group of hardworking, personable individuals who genuinely care.

The other day, I watched the team respond instantly and compassionately when a disabled customer dropped their drink. There was no hesitation - just immediate action. A manager stepped in to reassure the customer while others quickly remade the drink and cleaned up the spill. It wasn’t just “good service” - it was good people doing the right thing. And this isn’t a one-off moment. I see this level of care all the time.

I used to manage a high-end retail store, and I would always tell my team: the difference between a great experience and a memorable one is you. Your positivity, compassion, and humanity matter more than any product or brand ever could.

I can go to any Starbucks - there are plenty - but I choose this one because of the people.“

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.“

“Food is great, atmosphere is awesome, and service is friendly!
I ordered the Country Breakfast Burrito, it was delicious! I also had the Mocha Latte and an Blended Mocha, both were great!
Fun deli to grab a bite to eat and coffee! They have a large selection on artisan chocolate, cards, and other grocery items you don't find everywhere! Great experience!“

“Sweet perfection! These colorful lokum are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. 10/10“

“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.“

“A rare gem in Santa Barbara. A friendly bar with billiards and a smoker's terrace. Very good beers and a charming atmosphere, a bit out of time. The staff is friendly and helpful. For a real change of scenery, it is a place not to be missed.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely loved this brunch spot! The avocado toast was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. And the fried chicken burrito… wow. So crispy, juicy, and delicious — easily one of the best brunch items I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was super friendly. Definitely coming back again!“

“wonderful family friendly neighborhood restaurant with great food, and always served with a smile. I would highly recommend to anyone for breakfast or lunch. Debbie also makes fabulous mimosas for breakfast. 😊“

“The best Starbuck in Santa Barbara.Everything went perfectly the several times I went to that shop.The order was taken without spelling my name and served quickly. The staff were very welcoming and so kind, and kept me coming back, with a special mention for Nick, the first member of staff I spoke to.I recommend this Starbuck's“

“Had a wonderful experience here! The barista Sarah was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond in making our drinks. She really added the Christmas spirit to them. We really appreciate people like her who make such a positive impact with the small things.“

“Fun refreshing dessert 🍨 lots of yummy flavors“

“went in on my meal break while working in montecito wasn’t too hungry so I ordered a truffle which was good the pizza aroma smelled good eventually I’m sure will have a pizza from there but what I ordered was good enough for me 🙂“

“Amazing spot, delicious food and coffee!!💯“

“Seating needs updates since the vinyl bench is half ripped up. And there seems to help storage, so they have boxes, cases of beverages, and misc schtuff cluttering the place up. The entrance to behind the counter is about a foot wide that the workers have to squeeze thru when they go to front of house or behind the counter. Just weird layout, and a bit messy without being “gross”. Just strange for a business to be like this.“

“We got takeout breakfast tacos. It’s in the Public Market but pretty much everything else in the market is closed in the mornings - so not much to comment on the atmosphere. The breakfast tacos were good and average size. We got the steak taco and a birria taco. They were good, only issue was the birria taco was extremely messy and hard to eat. This isn’t something you want with takeout and eating on the go. Relatively fast service but it is cooked to order so expect a bit of a wait.“

“Wow what a hidden gem! Really tasty, flavorful offerings and so affordable. I was impressed with the variety and quality. I got a half sushi tofu sandwich and a half turkey cranberry sandwich and was full for $8. Both dishes were really thoughtful and looked nice, too. I happen to live nearby and I will be stopping in frequently.“

“Let it be known that the butter milk bars here are LEGENDARY. In the 36 years I've been on planet earth, NEVER have I tasted a doughnut that has given me a spiritual encounter such as the ones sold in this store. Not only can you taste the love, passion, and heritage in these golden bread nuggets but they are absolutely delicious, moist and tender. If you don't do anything else I highly recommend you try a glazed butter milk bar....more specifically pick it up in the afternoon around 6 or 7 when they have them resting fresh out of the oven (it will make you lose your mind!). They are phenomenal! The service and atmosphere is top tier as well. I always leave this place with an extra dose of joy and positivity. The owner is a local woman/teacher who inherited the business from her mother and man o man does she have magic flowing through those fingers of hers! 10 out 10 recommend. You wont be disappointed.“
