Founded in 2015, Crossings Coffee Roasters operates a specialty micro-roasting facility at 312 North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas, sourcing 100-percent traceable beans through direct partnerships with farmers across Central America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The roastery shares its storefront with New Wave Bagel, building out an artisan breakfast corridor on the 101 alongside scratch-baked operations like Crafted Coastal Bakery. Head roaster and founder Alden Hozouri collaborates directly with producers on experimental fermentation methods—including anaerobic and carbonic maceration—to develop flavor profiles unavailable through standard commodity sourcing channels. The company also maintains a small coffee orchard to study cultivation variables firsthand, reinforcing the seed-to-cup traceability that distinguishes its output from other roasters along the Coast Highway 101 corridor near Bing Surfboards. Highest-complexity offerings include single-origin micro-lots processed through 72-hour anaerobic fermentation at origin before small-batch drum roasting in Encinitas to preserve lactic and tropical fruit notes.
