Amazing breakfast sandwich, great coffee and friendly service. I was in town staying nearby and came here every morning for breakfast and coffee (hotel breakfast was easy to skip). The service here is so friendly, prices are reasonable, food is truly great, and the space has lots of indoor and outdoor seating for individual or a communal table. Thanks Lighthouse team!

My go-to coffee place whenever I am in the area! Perfect lattes and pastries. I usually get the almond croissant. Good place to work/study too.

Came to town w my daughter to UCSB orientation. Stopped by to get coffee and breakfast around 7am and it was not busy. There was plenty of parking. The avocado toast and breakfast sandwich were delicious. Really good latte and macchiato. I’d like to personally thank Chelsea and Nikki who took my order. They were genuinely so friendly and recommended the drinks. They even gave me a list of places for my daughter to visit once she moves out there for school. Great energy from these 2 young ladies. I’m definitely coming back when I am in town.

Gibraltar is reaaaaallly good. Like, top 5 coffees I’ve ever had. I wasn’t desperate, just really surprised. Great job! The giant picture of presumably SB/Goleta is super cool too, get more!

Lighthouse Coffee has always been in the top three of my favorites coffee roasters/cafes in the Santa Barbara area. Their coffee is smooth yet bold. They always carry a variety of fresh pastries but also have one of the best avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches in town. Staff is consistently friendly. This is hands down their largest location out of the several stores with outlets and free WiFi. So glad to have them in Goleta!

Reasonably good prices, staff and coffee. Place has a bit of fast food vibe but loads of tables and electrical outlets for computers. All and all a very serviceable locale for coffee, meeting folks, and studying.

Staff were lovely. Great conversation! Dirty chai was delicious! The vibe was a little bleak/industrial. Very clean and streamline with no charm(aside from the baristas).

They have good coffee and a nice breakfast menu. The gals at the counter are very friendly and pleasant.

Good coffee, but the lox, cream cheese and onion bagel had way too much cream cheese and I think the eggs are not real eggs.

Happy to support the new coffee shop. Breakfast sandwich and vanilla latte were good. Yum! However, I was very surprised and disappointed that 1) my dine-in coffee was in a paper cup (the ceramic ones were right there!). 2) The staff was unwilling to bring coffee to the table. I was the only customer on the premises and there were 4 staff members standing at the counter. Are they trained to not to? The staff was very friendly so this seemed so odd to me.

Normally Lighthouse is great with good coffee and fresh tasting food. Something went wrong today. My oat latte gave me terrible indigestion. Very bad taste too, just awful!! 🤮

The coffee is ok. Price is average. Associates are sweet. Would like to sit here and work because there’s so much nice seating and open space but the music is so unpleasant and loud. Especially since it echoes in the open space.

Just jacked up their prices. Apparently muffin and a coffee cost $10 these days. Used to come here regularly, now not coming ever.

Ordered our food and coffee and tea. Two bagels, one with cream cheese and one with cream cheese and lox (neither of which need time to be cooked).. waited for 30 minutes, no food. People after us got their egg sandwiches and cooked food meanwhile we still waited. Went up to the counter to ask where the food was they said “it’s nowhere near ready” ??? And then we asked for a refund and they were unable to refund us! So now they said “someone will call you to try to work out the refund”. $35 for a coffee, an iced tea and no food. Horrible service.
