There is limited seating inside and outside, but I see this being a great spot for getting some work done or reading a book. The staff was also super nice and accommodating. I ordered a flat white and was impressed. Honestly, I didn't even snap a picture of my coffee because I was fiending to try it out. The quality of their coffee is worth the price in my opinion. So excited to come back!

Just amazing!!! Necessity is easily some of the best elevated coffee in San Diego. I finally got a…read morechance to stop by the new location, and my hat's off to everyone at Necessity for building such an amazing space. You can tell a lot of thought went into it, from the atmosphere and design to the way the coffee is presented. What I really appreciate about Necessity is that they take coffee seriously and to the next level. There's creativity behind what they're doing, but the coffee itself is still the focus. The flavors are intentional, the presentation is on point, and you can tell they care about every detail that goes into the final drink. The new space only adds to the experience. It feels like somewhere you actually want to hang out, enjoy your coffee, and take your time instead of just grabbing a drink and leaving. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and a concept that feels different from a lot of other shops in San Diego. If you're into specialty coffee and like trying something beyond your everyday latte, Necessity needs to be on your list. I'm already looking forward to coming back and seeing what they come up with next.

I ordered a vanilla iced latte and they nailed it -- the vanilla flavor was balanced really well with the espresso and wasn't overly sweet. The coffee itself tasted smooth and fresh. Definitely a solid spot for a quick coffee run.

Stopped by yesterday to try this coffee shop and overall had a great experience. One thing I really…read moreappreciate is that their flavors are made in-house, which always makes drinks taste more unique and less artificial. I ordered a honey cinnamon latte with half sweetness and it was really good. The flavor balance was great and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like my coffee. I also picked up an iced vanilla latte, and that one was just as good. When I was ordering, the person taking my order didn't seem very interested in giving recommendations when I asked, but the barista who made the drinks was very nice and the coffee itself was excellent, which made up for it. There's some construction going on in the area right now, but I was still able to find parking without too much trouble. The food also looked really good, though I only tried the drinks this time. There is ample seating and bathrooms for customers in the back. Overall, great coffee and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu.

Great acai base as well that isn't too sweet. Matcha latte - I got the honey lavender and even with that flavor added it was not too sweet which I really appreciated. They also have juice and baked goods - what a great spot!!

A couple of bench seats inside but for the most part not a great place to hang out since it's next to a busy road anyways. The cappuccino and flat white we ordered was okay but the milk foam was very flaccid and didn't have that much texture to it. Coffee flavor was okay but couldn't make up for the mid drinks. Wouldn't come back tbh.

The iced mojito is a must-try-so refreshing and energizing. It tastes like a top notch cold brew with fresh mint and a hint of sweetness. The bags of coffee beans are from Colombia and Mexico, where some of my favorite coffees are from. The Serrano Chile, egg & cheese empanadas were delicious and two were just enough for breakfast. The chocolate chip cookies are some of the best I've had. The baristas were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Don't come here if you are looking for an espresso, latte, or any other specialty coffee that you usually get at a coffee shop. Come here for one thing which is the MOJITO coffee. It's amazing and their specialty. I crave it sometimes. It's perfection iced. And then you get an empanada. Amazing breakfast. Again- this is NOT your regular coffee shop. There are plenty of other full service coffee houses in Leucadia. Come here for the Bump Special, which is the mojito. You won't regret it.

I went with the Coconut Cream Pie Latte, and this was such a good one. The coconut flavor actually comes through, but what really sold me was the real dried coconut on top. Such a simple detail, but it added the perfect little bit of texture and made the drink feel much more special. The salted cold foam paired really well with it too and kept the whole thing from being overly sweet. My only complaint is parking. It can definitely be a little challenging to find a spot, so give yourself some extra time if you're coming when they're busy. Cute spot, creative drinks, and I'd absolutely come back for that coconut latte again.

Service was good and both my drink and breakfast were on point in terms of taste. You just can't beat west coast breakfast tacos! I saw lots of locals and tourists alike walking over or riding up on their bikes as parking is pretty limited but don't let that stop you from giving them a try.
