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 PCs
Love Lighthouse Coffee
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?
Every time I come here it takes 15 - 25 minutes for them to make a sandwich. Even when there is no one else here. Coffee is just okay.
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….
Every time I come here the workers are rude. They don’t honor their hours that they state are open. Final product of espresso is extremely average. I have tried over 5 times because the location is so well placed but disappointed every time.
Nice location however the service from the staff needs some work with customer service. They either don’t seem to enjoy their job or were not trained properly on customer service. The drinks were okay. I’m sure there are better coffee shops in the area to choose from. Seems more like a campus coffee shop mainly for college stufents
Espresso machine turned off 25 minutes early on a day they are closing 3 hours early. booo 👎
A great place to work but every time I’ve come here in the past month the wifi doesn’t work. Nobody is able to connect and has to turn on a hotspot. We’ve asked management but they just suggest “disconnecting and reconnecting.” A great place if they fix their wifi
Dirty Chai. Loved it!
Great place to get coffee and opens earlier than most other coffee places.
Food and coffee seem good but staff seem over it, which I can live with, but if your trying to come here to get work done and or study using a laptop go else where, router never seems to work right and I’m forced to burn data to hotspot. Wont be back for anything but a grab and go.
Please fix your wifi.
Santa Barbara poses a lot of good coffee places. This one is top 3 on my book
Unbelievably disorganized….get your team trained. Simply ordered a Lox bagel and after 30 minutes they refunded me cause they couldn’t figure it out. Also, a cortado shouldn’t have majority foam.
Revisit. Adding a point for the generous banana nut butter toast and friendly staff. Cold brew is good, not my favorite coffee but it will do. .................. What happened to the review I just wrote!! At times this place has been wonderful. Today both my cap and my breakfast sandwich were terrible!!! Had to throw away the badly made, sour cap. For the price charged expect consistency with coffee drinks that are tasty,, well made and leaves one feeling satisfied, not horrified with sour improperly flat heavy stomachache inducing cap and wads of salt poured into the sloppily made sandwich. Maybe a bad day for the staff or inadequate care or training of the staff but I did not appreciate expensive sub par food.
Good coffee! friendly ppl
Food and coffee was amazing. The tall guy behind the counter with the brown hair wearing a cap was so friendly! (Forgot to get their names). The girl making the coffees was also just terrific. We’re so kind and helpful with our fussy orders and made special effort to pronounce our difficult Irish names. Both customer service and food was excellent would definitely recommend.
Pretty good coffee and vibe inside. Don’t try and get anything other than a drip coffee if you have less than 30mins - very very slow
Attitude CHECK PLEASE!!!
