Curator’s note

Sur started roasting in a garage in 2016 and selling at farmers markets, and it now carries a 2025 Global Coffee Awards gold for the Uppers espresso and a silver for a Costa Rica grown by its longtime friend Diego Guardia. This room on the south end of Coast Highway is the newest of its five cafes.

The Coffee

The pour-overs rotate through single origins as each one drops, a natural light roast from Mauricio Salaverría's Finca Himalaya in El Salvador among them, sold by the bag at the cafés and by subscription as well.

The Vibe

Sur's Laguna Beach room takes the end of a low building on Coast Highway, under a red fascia on red posts. Black panels on its front read Ritual of Adventure and Laguna Beach over the Sur Coffee mark, and shrubs in wooden planters line the sidewalk.
