We hope you can attend the City of Goleta’s next Coffee & Community / Café y Comunidad event on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. at Lighthouse Coffee (5696 Calle Real). Join District 1 Councilmember Luz Reyes-Martín and Mayor Paula Perotte for a relaxed morning of conversation and community connection. Spanish interpretation will be available.

First District Councilmember Reyes-Martín said, “Coffee & Community is all about bringing City Hall and the City Council to your neighborhood. I am looking forward to connecting with my neighbors in District 1 to hear directly about the issues that matter most to them. These informal gatherings are a wonderful way to build community and ensure our local government remains accessible and responsive to every resident.”

Thank you to Lighthouse Coffee for hosting the event and providing complimentary coffee for attendees. Free coffee and pastries will be available throughout the morning making this a great opportunity to connect directly with elected leaders and neighbors in a friendly, informal setting. Whether you want to ask a question, share an idea, or simply learn more about what’s happening in Goleta, Coffee & Community offers an approachable space to engage.

Coffee & Community events are hosted throughout the year in each of Goleta’s four districts to bring local government to the community. These gatherings encourage open dialogue about neighborhood priorities, City projects, and the future of Goleta in a welcoming, accessible format.
