Such a cool spot! Friendly service!

Would be 5/5 stars if they had more herbal tea options. They have a mint herbal tea by Smith, which is a brand that has more herbal options so why not offer more choices?

Very unique ceramic tip jar!

I’ve been wanting to visit this cafe to see what the hype was about. And I can honestly say it’s really just about the location. You’re nestled inside a car club surrounded by some fancy vintage vehicles. Although the cafe area is minimal, as the rest of the space is reserved for the actual car club members.

I tried one of their signature drinks as well as a matcha one. The Citrus Latte was citrusy though you could barely taste the coffee. It was pretty weak. Definitely wasn’t satisfied with it after I finished that I had to get coffee elsewhere afterwards. The matcha was typical and nothing one could make themselves.

Seating is minimal with just two hi tops by the coffee bar, a pick up truck that’s been converted into a table bar, and some windows ledge seating with some typical coffee tables.  Nothing too comfy. But definitely varied.

They also have a corner for cheaply made though expensive merchandise and some of their periodicals they carry on cars which is cool. They carry some vintage items as well though nothing you can’t find at a local flea market or thrift store for much less.

Overall it was a fun excursion to visit though not a place I’d feel I need to return to. Maybe if I know a car enthusiast I’d bring them but not exactly worthy of a ride to the west side.

One of my favorite spots in town for coffee and work. Great venue with plenty of space (if you’re a member of Motoring Club) and with great internet. If you like cars and coffee this is your spot.

If you're a coffee and automotive enthusiast like me, you'll really enjoy this place. It's a 2-in-1 private auto club and coffee shop. The coffee shop is open to the public but the club itself requires a membership. Plenty of seating and it's a great place to work remote. They've got a Japanese K truck set up as a work station which was super cool. The coffee was good but not as strong as most other places. If you like sweet, it may benefit ordering your drink extra sweet here. Staff was super friendly! I just wish they had one or two more cars on display for the coffee shop.
