"I wasn't looking for two at the moment, but it was just such an amazing, awesome opportunity. One is a gift and two is amazing. To be a kid in his early 20s that's like, 'I think I want to start a coffee shop,' and 10 years later to have two cafes is just amazing to me."
"Both shops serve coffee and breakfast in bright spaces dressed in the brand's cream-and-coral palette with sage green accents. Menus balance classic and creative drinks pulled on La Marzocco Linea EE AV machines - a white one in Encinitas and a bright pink one in San Marcos."
"Cocktail-inspired specials have included the Smoke Is Rising, an Ethiopian cold brew clarified with whole milk and finished with orange bitters, lapsang simple syrup and a bubble of hickory smoke. The Bloody Good Thyme combines flash-brewed Colombian coffee with blood orange, thyme, chinchona bark and Tajin over ice."
Necessity Coffee has expanded its presence north of San Diego with two locations. The Encinitas shop relocated in January to a new corner location featuring a distinctive ficus tree, while a second cafe opened in San Marcos. Both locations showcase the brand's cream-and-coral design with sage green accents and serve coffee on La Marzocco Linea EE AV machines. The menu includes creative cocktail-inspired specials like the Smoke Is Rising and Bloody Good Thyme, alongside classic coffees highlighted through Poursteady automatic pourover machines. The Encinitas kitchen sources local produce and baked goods from Split Bakehouse, supplying both locations with toasts, tartines, and breakfast sandwiches. Founder Jon Runion roasts coffee on-site using a San Franciscan SF-25 roaster.
