About

Veteran-owned Red White and Badass Brew on Jackson Drive in La Mesa's Grossmont area roasts premium small-batch coffee and donates a portion of every sale to veteran PTSD and suicide-prevention programs. Founded by a medically retired service member who served alongside Navy SEAL units, the shop channels the same veteran-community mission as VFW Post 1774 in La Mesa, employing fellow veterans behind the counter and on the roasting line. The roast catalog includes signature blends branded as Whiskey Business and Mother of All Brews, plus single-origin options available as whole-bean bags, ground, and K-Cup pods through the online store. A drive-through window and early 5:30 weekday start serve the pre-workout and commuter traffic on Jackson Drive near Grossmont Center, overlapping with the early-morning fitness crowd at Orangetheory Fitness in the same La Mesa market. All beans are certified organic and processed through a mold-free roasting protocol that screens green coffee for mycotoxin contamination before small-batch drum roasting to order.
