Lucky Llama Coffee House - Cafe in Carpinteria - 5100 Carpinteria Ave, USA

My FAVORITE place to be in Carpenteria. Ride my motorcycle here every Monday morning. The acai bowls are so good that I don't even try them anywhere else anymore. Everyone is always super nice and very helpful. Absolutely a necessity for a great week in my book

Place is awesome!! We’re traveling down the coast and found this gem. I love my espresso and a legit americano is hard to come by. This place delivered! It’s fresh, mild tasting, easy and enjoyable drinking. My wife also said that her oat milk London fog with vanilla was the best she’s ever had. Great smoothie bowl and croissant was great too.

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.

Relaxing indoor and outdoor setting with friendly service guarded by the lucky llama. Delicious mocha served with a heart.

Everyone has been telling me to try the açaí at this place for a long time. And boy am I glad I did. The fresh fruit and smoothie blend reminded me of açaí I’ve had in Hawaii. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have chocolate as an add on for the bowl but they added chocolate syrup for me instead. Very tasty. Great ambience. Will become a regular stop on my trips to Carpinteria.

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.

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.

Our place to stop on the way south from Santa Barbara. Coffee and bagels are great! And maybe the best name for a coffee shop in the area?!
