About

Founded in 1999, Surfdog's Java Hut on South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district brews Caffè Calabria-roasted espresso and blends açaí bowls from a rebuilt green-certified building near the Self Realization Fellowship gardens. The single-origin roasting emphasis aligns this shop with the craft-coffee sourcing at Ironsmith Coffee Roasters further up the 101 corridor in Leucadia. A ground-up reconstruction replaced the original thatched-roof patio and bamboo ceiling with a modern build while preserving a salvaged mosaic-tile turtle inlaid in the entry floor from the 1999-era layout. The made-to-order bagel sandwich program layers egg, cheddar, avocado, and a proprietary SurfDog sauce on fresh-baked rounds, extending the scratch-kitchen corridor along South Coast Highway 101 that includes Firenze Trattoria's handmade pasta kitchen. The rebuilt facility holds a San Diego County Environmental Health score of 99 out of 100, with the new kitchen configured for simultaneous espresso extraction, cold-press juice blending, and flat-top griddle service under one green-certified roof.
