Crema's Take

“Origen is a hidden gem cart operation in Encinitas with an unexpectedly serene setting: sip carefully sourced single-origin pour overs while overlooking a koi pond and listening to a trickling creek, creating a zen garden atmosphere that feels worlds away from typical coffee stops. Barista Ruben is genuinely passionate about helping you navigate their extensive pour over menu and diverse origins from places like Mexico, Ecuador, and Bolivia, making this the spot for coffee lovers who care about nuance and terroir. Their pastries sell out early and the experience of sitting by the water with a thoughtfully brewed cup is worth arriving early and lingering long.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Great specialty coffee with a barista that never fails. This is a coffee cart with outdoor seating and a koi pond. The pourovers are worth the wait. They seem to sell out of pastries by lunch.

What a hidden gem! The pour over menu is extensive and Ruben will help you chose if your not sure. The turkey chili was delicious. Sat by the koi pond, listened to the water, and enjoyed every sip. Thank you for the experience 🙏 I'll be back.

Wow! What a beautiful little hidden away spot to relax and have delicious coffee and snacks. Ponds fed by a creek and waterfalls to make lovely sounds for the Zen garden. Turtles sunning on the rocks, big healthy koi, happy birds splashing in the falls, and even a duck today…

Found the best pour over coffee in San Diego! Ruben is doing right with diverse single origins, showcasing different regions and acidity. If you love GOOD coffee, definitely go to Origen. Beautiful Koi pond also nestled between corporate offices.
