TLDR: eclectic decorations but amazing coffee at fair prices and friendly service I had the cinnamon honey iced latte which came out perfectly, not too sweet but very flavorful. Fernando was very nice and held some pleasant conversation about the interior of the place, it also serves food and is a bar at night!

Modern Times Coffee, offers a stylish, eclectic café experience with a strong focus on high-quality, ethically sourced beans. The space is bold and fun (think colorful murals, vintage furniture, and a retro-futuristic vibes) that feels uniquely San Diego. The coffee program is top-tier, with expertly pulled espresso, rotating single-origin pour-overs, and creative specialty drinks. Whether you’re into a classic cappuccino or a seasonal latte with a twist, everything is made with care and consistency. There’s also a small selection of pastries and snacks, plus plenty of seating for working or relaxing. Service is friendly, and the atmosphere is laid-back but lively. It’s a great stop for coffee purists and design lovers alike.

There's always a line, but it's worth the wait. My wife and kids love the modern times coffee, and the food from J&Tony's is great. The nitro cold brew on tap is great, and much faster than the espresso drinks. But the espresso drinks are really good too

FUN spot, excellent coffee, excellent breakfast. I got the avocado toast first time and the strawberry mint toast the second time. Food and coffee were crazy good. Vibes are high, decor is wild. Pet friendly.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mary Ann Wettler · Jul 2025

First time there and was pleased with how they made my latte. Usually it’s never made extra hot but this place did. Atmosphere is fun and warm with lovely music. Barista was friendly and gracious. He was courteous to the homeless guy hanging about. Thanks for my drink and respite while running 7 miles.
