One of the best Açaí that I ever ate, and this based on the fact that I lived and travelled throughout Brazil a lot! Also the Toasts are delicious! All very natural and not too sweet.

I love lucky llama! Been coming here for 7+ years and it truly never disappoints. I stopped by the other day and ordered the breakfast bagel sandwhich and was so impressed that I had to write a review!! For $12.50 you get this GIANT bagel that includes egg, cream cheese, micro greens, bacon and cheese! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming! My drink was ready in 2-3 minutes and my food came shortly after! I would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing some breakfast and a drink :) their outdoor patio is so lovely. Thanks lucky llama I will continue coming back!

Best coffee in Carpinteria. Amazing cafe to end a bike ride from LA to Santa Barbara County. Great drip coffee & cookies. The space is indoor / outdoor with tons of plants and plenty of seating.

Great coffee shop in downtown Carpinteria. Plenty of seating and parking. Good location with peaceful surroundings. We tried the Mayan mocha and the chai latte. The barista made a recommendation to try the mocha with half the sweetness and they were spot-on. Great coffee experience.

Lucky Llama has absolutely scrumptious coffee! The barista added an adorable little heart in mine! They have seasonal drinks as well as their year round menu! The staff was so kind as well!

Absolute gem of a coffee shop! Our barista Jess makes an amazing cup of coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff. If you're ever in the area, it's a must stop.

Eat local and enjoy the flavor. This place is local to the core, and staffed by friendly baristas. My latte was dandy, but the avocado toast was especially good. Pass up the fast food chains and strip malls. The Lucky Llama is worth the couple extra blocks.

What a great place for your morning coffee! Do not get discouraged If you see the line..they are efficient they move quickly and there is a big tree to give you a shade so the sun is not bitting on you. Great avocado sandwich and not bad oat meal with fresh fruits.

Great food but keep in mind that the avocado toast (specifically the gf one) is only one small slice and it’s extra $ to add on the good stuff. The yogurt/ gluten free granola parfait and oat milk lavender latte were both DELISH! We were told any bowls would take 20+ minutes to make which seems insane (coming from someone who used to work at a smoothie/breakfast/coffee shop we never had that kind of wait even when equally as busy). Luckily, it didn’t take 20 minutes for the parfait but just a heads up if you’re in need to a quick breakfast. You can tell it’s a beloved restaurant of the vacationers and locals and based on taste you can see why, but is still a bit pricey for what you get.

One of the only walkable coffee shops if you're coming from the beach, campground, or Linden shopping. And thankfully they have plenty of plant-based milks for coffee. I ordered hot and iced oatmilk lattes with hazelnut and vanilla flavorings the days I was there. They were ok--not bad but not delicious either. It got the job done. I also wished they had more flavors or unique offerings... Lavender lattes, seasonal flavors, etc. (Which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.) While they have lots of plant-based bowl options, they didn't have vegan/plant-based pastries from the look of it. Their hours are 7-2:30pm daily upon writing this. Their prices were comparable to Starbucks. The service is speedy and friendly. The designs on the coffee are fancy, but because of that, they place your coffee on the pickup bar and you have to put the lid on. And I'm not sure why, but the lids fit awkwardly on the cups. I kept double checking to make sure that it was on all the way.

I went on a Sunday morning and it was so busy. I ordered a matcha Tea with oat milk and a bagel. They forgot my tea and when I asked one of the baristas she was almost annoyed I asked. The matcha wasn’t mixed well, I could taste the graininess of it. The bagel was delicious. The acai bowls looked amazing. I want to go back to try them out.

Matcha was beyond BLAND. Waited over 10 minutes for a “warm” almond croissant. I watched as it sat there in a toaster oven that was not even turned on. Disappointed in the service and the quality of items. Why would you give someone their drink without completing their order? I expected them to give me what I ordered so I waited until it became ridiculous. I guarantee if I didn’t ask for it directly I would’ve waited even longer.
