Sur Coffee HB

huntington beach has a coffee scene that's easier to dismiss than it should be. the surf culture, the tourist drag, the chain outposts on every corner, all of it can make you assume the specialty side of things is thin. sur coffee hb, sitting on 5th street a short walk from the pier, is a direct argument against that assumption. it operates as a roaster, which means what ends up in your cup started as a sourcing and roasting decision made here, not somewhere else. that specificity matters. the locals who've found it keep coming back, which in a beach town with plenty of passing trade says more than it might elsewhere. if you're anywhere near the 5th street block, the morning espresso is the place to start.
