The Den Coffeehouse & Wine Bar, nestled in Washington, DC, has a rich history within the coffee community. Originally founded as Modern Times Coffeehouse in 2006 by a trio of Washingtonians, the establishment quickly became a hub for coffee enthusiasts. Under the leadership of Javier Rivas, the coffeehouse evolved to embrace a 'third wave' coffee program, offering a diverse menu of coffee and food items.
Following a transition in ownership, Modern Times continued to flourish, marked by a renovation that enhanced the ambiance and experience for patrons. As the coffeehouse adapted over the years, it maintained a commitment to quality ingredients and exceptional service. The dedication of the team, including Rivas and his partner Anna Petrillo, ensured a welcoming atmosphere for the community to enjoy.
Today, the legacy of Modern Times lives on through La Mano Coffee Bar in the Takoma neighborhood, spearheaded by Rivas and Petrillo. La Mano specializes in espresso and single origin coffee, complemented by freshly baked goods. Building on the foundation of their past success, Rivas and Petrillo aim to foster strong community ties and partnerships in their new venture, carrying forward the ethos that made Modern Times a beloved destination.
