Necessity Coffee
687 2nd St, Encinitas, CA
Crema's Take
“Necessity Coffee pulls off the rare feat of being equally impressive whether you're ordering espresso or sparkling tea, with baristas who genuinely know their craft and aren't afraid to experiment with unexpected flavor combinations like funkier co-ferments and fruit-forward signatures. The bright, breezy new location practically begs you to linger over a pour over or batch brew, making it the kind of place where you'll discover your next favorite drink and actually want to come back for it again.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.
