Jon Runion and cofounder Curtis launched Necessity Coffee in the summer of 2022 with a vision that materialized into their first cafe opening in Encinitas, California in March 2023. The operation prioritizes direct relationships with coffee producers, rotating single origin offerings to highlight the unique characteristics of each harvest. Their house espresso, the washed Colombian Black Condor, represents their dedication to quality and consistency. This roastery demonstrates how thoughtful sourcing and a focused product line can create a meaningful coffee experience.
