Jon Runion, the owner of Necessity Coffee, is making waves in the coffee scene with a move to a larger location in Encinitas. This transition marks a significant step for his business, which has thrived since opening its doors in 2023. The new spot will not only be more spacious but will also allow for a broader menu and community engagement.
• The new café will open in early November at 687 2nd Street, expanding from 600 to 1,100 square feet.
• A kitchen will be added, introducing a food program with small plates and drinks.
• Runion emphasizes maintaining high-quality coffee, innovative drinks, and excellent service.
• Collaboration with local chefs is planned to enhance community ties and culinary offerings.
This expansion is crucial for Necessity Coffee as it seeks to evolve from a simple coffee shop to a vibrant community hub. By offering food and drinks, Runion aims to attract more customers and foster a welcoming atmosphere. The move reflects a growing trend of coffee shops becoming more than just places for coffee, turning into social spaces that celebrate local culture.
