The Make Good Coffee Co.

san diego has built a quietly serious coffee identity over the past decade, with roasters pushing the kind of sourcing and process standards you'd expect from portland or melbourne. the make good coffee co. on hancock street is part of that shift. this is a roastery operation, which means what ends up in your cup started as a decision made long before brewing, back at the green-bean level, in how lots are selected and how heat is applied across a roast curve. that specificity tends to attract people who notice the difference between a thoughtful roast and a forgettable one, and the regulars here clearly do. if you're in the midway district and want something rooted in the production side of coffee rather than just the retail side, hancock street is the right stop.
