This is probably the most welcoming cafe I’ve ever been to. The staff were so friendly and hospitable, my wife and I had a lovely conversation with the owner and some of her friends. They were so friendly, and seemed not to care whether or not we purchased anything from the store. An amazing place with a true sense of community, you won’t regret dropping by.

This is the cutest place in Carpinteria! Such a friendly and welcoming environment. I love going in Lost & Found to get a unique and perfect gift for a friend or something cute for my kids. They used to have the BEST muffins which they are going to bring back as soon as the city stops giving them trouble about permits.... And I cannot wait until they do! Don't pass by this adorable place without stopping in!

Lost and found Café, I love this place. For the longest time we thought it was a coffee shop. Last Sunday, for the first time my wife and I walked in, to get a cup of coffee, the owner greeted us and told us "the coffee is on the house ".Lost and Found is a gift shop operated by locals, they have locally made gifts, paintings, coffee table books, Christmas ornaments and many other decorating items. If you ever visit Carpinteria and like to get some souvenirs, this is the place to shop at.

The town of Carpinteria is not only home to "The World's Safest Beach" but also a new art cafe called Lost & Found. For those who are familiar with the show Schitt's Creek, I would compare Lost & Found to Rose Apothecary. Instead of David and Patrick, you have two sisters named Susan and Patty who warmly welcome you in. While one could describe it as a 'general store,' others would think it isn't so 'general'. It is a communal coffee shop in that making that hopes to allow everyone to "come in and find themselves." The ultimate goal is to be open seven days a week selling a wide variety of things, including:-Specialty dark roast French coffee with milk-Freshly made goodies (including chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and an assortment of chocolate-dipped ginger, apricots and more)-Home decor and products (lotions, candles, fragrances)-Locally made art pieces, stationery and more!You can't help but notice the space's focal point of a gorgeous tropical-framed painting or all the local art that yells "Carpinteria!" I am truly excited to see this business grow and expand with the plans to have outdoor seating--particularly during these difficult times.
