Necessity Coffee — Restaurant in Encinitas

Tucked in the back of a dead end road, turn your head left, look past the friends, and follow the sweet scent of fresh craft coffee wafting from the pink heart at the end.

Necessity coffee is more than a cafe, Maek Friends, a pottery collective, closely intertwines with atmosphere through open doors, smiles, and the drinkware.

Libations are fresh, and the passion from Curtis flows through the beans and into your cup. Do not miss the chance to learn about bleeding edge coffee techniques, take your palette and mind on a small adventure.

Best espresso in the area by a LONG shot, and I have tried a lot of the spots that are "known for" good espresso. Friendly, knowledgable staff, I unknowingly arrived right at close but was still greeted by friendly staff happy to help accomodate me, answer questions and served up an excellent shot. This is my new go to spot, after trying 8+ other shops locally, finally found one worth coming back to for a second time. The flavor alone is reason enough to come back, the service being great on top, is icing on the cake! Adding this to the mountain of other well deserved 5 star reviews. Great work...

Our friend at corner pizza recommended this spot, and we’re so happy he did! This place is a hidden gem. The owner is truly the kindest man I’ve ever met (he complimented my hat!) and he seems genuinely happy to interact with everyone in the store. I could go just to listen to his happy voice ring out of the store.

A couple of nice shaded picnic tables outdoors and some smaller tables inside. Great for working—it’s not too crowded and the music isn’t terribly loud, which I appreciate.

The waffle was really good, and the presentation was cute too. I hear the coffee...
