Crema's Take

This beachside gem pulls off that rare trick of being equally welcoming whether you're ducking in for a quick flat white and Bialy bagel or settling into the outdoor seating for hours with friends and your pup. The vibe is pure local San Diego—island casual with genuinely warm staff who remember regulars—and they nail both the classics (beautifully executed espresso drinks) and the creative stuff (chai lattes with oat milk, acai bowls worth the trip). It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself coming back week after week, not because it's trendy, but because it feels like home.

The best Bialy bagel and flat white. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere, locals all around, lovely neighborhood feel.

This is hands-down our go-to spot for a quick bite and coffee in Downtown Encinitas! Totally a local gem — the food is always awesome, and the açaí bowls and smoothies are on point. The staff seriously treat you like family, which just makes the whole surf vibe even better. We’ve got a bunch of favorites here, so it’s tough to pick just one — but if you’re not sure what to try, go for “The Local.” You won’t be disappointed!

Our favorite place to frequent on our day off. Best local spot, great food, açaís bowls and smoothies. Customer service that makes you feel Iike family! Lot’s of favorites so hard to choose— but “The local” is great choice. Also ask for their salsa red or green 😋 can’t go wrong!

My favorite place for coffee and a bagel! I have been coming to Surf Dog’s for a couple years, and I have never had a bad experience. Usually, I get a coffee and bagel but sometimes I splurge for the fabulous egg and cheese bagel sandwich. 1) Super friendly and excellent service 2) good coffee 3) the bagels are quite good 4) especially in the morning, I appreciate how easy it is to park in Encinitas 5) awesome location for coffee after a run or walk along the path 6) the egg and cheddar sandwich's with avocado, tomato, and SurfDog sauce is so yummy 10/10 on all fronts
