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!

Java Hut is one of my favorite go-to spots in Encinitas for breakfast, coffee, smoothies, a place to have a casual meeting and use wi-fi.
Carlos the chef is extremely kind and prepares everything with quality and a smile.
Carlos at the register is also very friendly and welcoming.
The rest of the staff do a great job. Come through and check out the massive cactus growing on the edge of the building. Swami’s smoothie, coffee, and bagel breakfast sandwich will set you up for the day

Decent coffee. Breakfast sandwich was pretty good. Açaí Bowl wasn’t so good.

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!

Stopped here on our way out of town and was sad we hadn't found it sooner during our stay! Great food, great coffee, chilled atmosphere and great prices. Highly recommend this place 👌
Good coffee, iced tea, and pastries. A pleasant rest stop while cycling. Surfdog's is a local institution. Plus, you have to love the name!

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
Just a cute local low key coffee shop. Good simple food and great coffee.

I love this place and the crew that work there. I'm an Aussie and its really hard to find good coffee around here when I'm so use to the top quality you get in Australia. I highly recommend this place for delicious, well-made coffee. My go to is a cappuccino. They're breaky burrito is one of the best also.
