Modern Times Beer

you're on greenwood street, where the industrial edges of san diego start to blur with residential quiet. modern times beer sits here like it owns the block, and maybe it does. this isn't just another coffee roaster hiding behind craft beer branding. they've been pulling shots and roasting beans with the same intensity they bring to their brewing operation. you walk in expecting beer culture, but the coffee program runs deeper than that. the regulars know this. they come for beans roasted on-site, not because it's trendy but because modern times treats coffee like they treat everything else: seriously, without apology. the space feels lived-in, worked-in. no pretense about being precious. when you order your cortado at 2pm on a tuesday, you're getting something deliberate.
