Lighthouse Coffee

New favorite coffee shop! The atmosphere is great for studying or catching up with some friends. There are plenty of tables inside and a few outside, but the place can get pretty packed. If you need an outlet to charge, I'd recommend grabbing a table along the wall. There's a very clean bathroom inside, which is a huge perk if you plan to stay here for a few hours! I've tried their Iced Chai with Almond Milk, Iced Latte with Almond Milk, and Cucumber Toast. All were delicious and I love that they have a variety of non-dairy milk options (soy, almond, oat). They also have a case of pastries featuring some local artisanal donuts from Hook and Press! One thing to keep in mind if you're trying to reduce your single-use plastic: bring your own cup for all iced drinks! Unfortunately, they only have plastic cups which they use for "for here" orders. The smallest size for the iced drinks is 16oz, so make sure to bring a large enough cup. I brought my own cup the second time I came and sav...

We stop over for some real coffee and it didnt disappoint. Love the coffee and the ambience. If we have more time, we will have stay here longer.

When there's a blue moon and surf in Santa Barbara, this is the best place to start my morning! Everything is nice: the people, the modern beachy decor, the coffee... They open nice and early too, so I can get out and catch some nice waves down the street!
