Fourtillfour Cafe was added to Your Favorites!
Encinitas, California
The name “Fourtillfour” is a subtle nod to the Porsche 356. 3:56 is four minutes till four, a time reference that reflects the founder’s love of classic cars and precision design.
A vintage off-road Volkswagen Beetle with racing number 1144 is displayed inside the cafe. The car is fully integrated into the space and sits just steps from the seating area.
The number “4” appears everywhere throughout Fourtillfour’s design. You can spot it on the entrance gate, neon sign, mugs, hats, artwork, and even on the car.
Fourtillfour Cafe sits behind a gated entrance, creating a hidden courtyard experience. Despite being just off Highway 101, the space feels tucked away and intentionally secluded.
The cafe blends automotive culture with industrial design. Reclaimed wood walls, metal roofing, vintage oil cans, and car-inspired artwork define the space.
Fourtillfour is built around the idea that coffee and cars belong together. The layout, decor, and courtyard seating are designed so vehicles are part of the everyday coffee experience.
Car gatherings happen on the first and last Saturdays of each month, drawing air-cooled Porsches, vintage 4×4s, and coffee lovers.
