I absolutely love coming here for my coffee beans! Now that I have an espresso machine at home, this has become my go-to spot to restock because they roast their beans in-house, so everything is always incredibly fresh. My favorite is the Guatemala blend -- definitely give it a try! Whenever they happen to be out of the Guatemala beans, the staff is always so kind and helpful about recommending other beans they like, which I really appreciate. Today I tried their iced latte with oat milk, and it was so smooth and delicious! The barista working the drive-thru was also incredibly kind, and I was impressed by how quickly I received my order. Parking can be a little difficult, so I usually find it easier to use the drive-thru, which is super convenient. Overall, the staff is always friendly, the coffee is good, and the fresh-roasted beans are absolutely worth the trip. Highly recommend! read more

Great place in the Logan area with supreme coffee. Lots of options, the usuals, plus Dutch, Mexican, mint, white, mochas. Chai lattes and hot chocolate. They also get amazing pastries in the morning, so come early. Also wait for the drive thru is very unique but it's worth the wait in general. It' also has a walk up but it's the same speed as drive thru. read more

This is a great coffee shop / roaster in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego. They make great coffee, we had a Cortado & Mexican Mocha. Both were great, nice and creamy with great flavor. In addition to indoor and outside seating Cafe Moto also features a drive-thru that was pretty busy when we were there. The staff is friendly and keeps the place clean and neat. There are a few parking spots in the lot and street parking can be hard to find. read more

Cafe Moto - Cortado & Mexican Mocha - Cafes Near Me - San Diego, California

Pretty cool Coffee Place. It has an outdoor ordering place plus a drive thru area. There are some tables outdoors to enjoy your coffee. Pretty fringe style decor, industrial streetlike. Parking is only street parking so in busy mornings it must be a bit of a challenge. Interesting coffee options including a Cubano Cortado which I have not seen in any other place. We ordered a Latte and a Cubano Cortado. Great coffee quality. Service was super fast and cordial. read more

Cute little stand. car themed, definitely more of a "to-go" stand than a sit down shop since there is little seating available. The workers are friendly, quick to take orders. There was a small wait to get our vanilla latte, but nothing outrageous. The coffee is very good! the lattes are on the sweeter side, if you don't like sweet coffee. It was like $10.50 for an iced latte and a dark roast drip. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in SD. The shop/roaster caters to both drive-thru and walking up to the window to order. It's located in a somewhat quiet neighborhood. Amazing coffee, I order the mint mocha every time and it does not disappoint. The employees are also kind and quick. read more

Wonderful eclectic hipster vibe coffee shop in barrio Logan. Obviously in a location of a prior auto repair shop. Hence the name. They have drive in ordering or walk by. They have drip coffee, cold brew, or press coffee. All their press coffee has two shots of espresso. Their chai latte was really good. Not too sweet. Not too spicy. I really liked their cinnamon honey latte. If you're in the area and looking for good coffee you should definitely check this place out. Even if you're not in the area it might be worth checking out. read more

If you're a coffee snob or connoisseur looking for high‑quality beans, this spot is worth checking out. My coffee‑loving friends rave about it, so I finally stopped by -- and it's such a cool setup. There's an indoor café area, a drive‑thru line, and a walk‑up counter, which makes it super convenient no matter what you're in the mood for. They offer a great selection of pastries and the service is consistently excellent. Every time I've visited, they've been pretty busy, so street parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day. Overall, it's a great spot for anyone who truly appreciates good coffee. The vibe, the quality, and the variety make it a standout in the area. read more

Slipping around the corners of your thoughts? Caffeine gauge moving closer towards empty? Want a little turbo boost? I was three for three of the aforementioned yesterday when I pulled in for the pit stop at this mechanic themed coffee shop. I was in P6, but fortunately cafe Moto must be taking notes from Formula 1 because the entire corral was cleared in minutes ready to hot lap the day. Foot powered coffee drinkers rest easy: there is a walk up section and outdoor seating insulated from the vehicular traffic. The Cubano was excellent and the cold brew is always strong and tasty! read more

I loved my drink from Cafe Moto! The seasonal specials are fun. I hope they bring back the dark side cold brew!

Best coffee say the locals...I think I can agree with that. Busy with walk up window and drive through, yet the system seems to be on point. Ordered a lavender vanilla latte with almond milk. Loved it! What i loved even more though was the Chai Latte. Wow, was that a perfect blend. I only took a few sips from my husband's, but it was delicious. I get it! Hype is real with this one read more

Cafe Moto is a unique and car-themed coffee shop in Barrio Logan. They have a drive-thru and walk-in counter to order. There are few outdoor seating but the indoor seating is not available now. The staff is nice, welcoming, and friendly. I've tried several different coffees, lattes, and matchatte and they were all great in flavour without being overly bold or sweet. The parking may be limited but you can park on the streets around Cafe Moto while ordering and picking up your drink. I believe it is one of the best and unique coffee shops in San Diego. read more

The best coffee ever...my favorite is 'Blue Sky'. I have been getting my coffee from here for years...

Cafe Moto is considered a pioneer in the local coffee community. Their coffee has such a rich taste, and they're well known throughout the area for their distribution. Every time I visit, I fall back in love with their coffee all over again. read more

Delicious coffee. Mostly consistent. I used to visit this place when they had blended options i miss those sm!!!. Our drinks were delivered by Ben the manager. He was so professional and resolving after a small inconvenience. He even went as far as offering a discount but his kind attention was more than enough. Thank you ben for your cool personality. read more

Coffee is pretty good, but they should ensure that their schedule honors our Black brothers and sisters on Juneteenth. That is all.

Really great spot. Friendly service with casual atmosphere and excellent drinks. We tried the Hawaiian drink with coconut cold foam and a Mexican mocha, both were delicious! read more

I have had this coffee shop on my list to visit, but what finally made me come was that they had a special drink called V12 Dark Side. They released this drink for about a week since the new Mandalorian & Grogu movie came out. I have been craving the Cold Brew from Star Wars Land in Disneyland. It did not taste like that one, mainly because it is originally made with Cream Cheese Foam, while this was Sweet Cream Foam. Do not let that sentence fool you though, this was the best cold brew I have ever had. It had none of that burnt flavor that I taste in Starbucks. It was incredibly smooth. Aside from that, the flavor of the coffee was delicious. My cream mixed into the cold brew perfectly. I have always had issues with cream tops because they do not mix well and taste airy almost. This was perfect, the cream was thick and basically turned into a creamer for the cold brew. I loved it. It added some sweetness while still being strong. My boyfriend got the V12 Nitro and again the flavor was so good. I have no notes. I would 100% come back for their drinks. It was my first time here so I was confused on where to order. I walked inside the building and almost immediately an employee let me know where I was able to order. I appreciated that they told me. Once I went outside to order, the employee seemed a bit rushed on taking our order. Which makes complete sense because they have a drive thru as well as the line on foot. Nonetheless, he was kind and actually the same employee who told us where to order. The place seemed very electronic or rustic even. I didn't get that auto body motor shop vibes. At least from the outside. It had steel all around with a black building. I wasn't scanning the inside seating for the decoration, but I did think it was beautiful. I was looking all around and thought how nice and vintage it looked. I parked on the street, but I didn't have any issues. I'm not sure if they have a dedicated lot, but they also had a drive through from what I saw! {05/27/26-1:20pm} read more

I had seen moto coffee being served in other establishments but this was my first time trying it straight from the source! I love that they have a drive thru and the red cones they put for your order really keeps the atmosphere in theme to the car shop vibes, I tried a season white mocha with cranberry and almond milk I didn't really taste much cranberry but the drink was delicious, I love the flavor of the coffee and how it mixed well with the white mocha and didn't overpower it read more

If you can drink their coffee black, and it's delicious, you'll want to share the location with friends. Cafe Moto's coffee is that delicious. To be fair, this roaster/importer/coffee shop is off my beaten path. My cousin (from LA) has been raving about this place for the last couple of months though, so since the holidays are here, I figured I should go get him some coffee. One of the best things about Cafe Moto is how knowledgeable their baristas are. When I looked online I realized they have a full range of single origin coffees and roasts. They also have their Blue Sky blend. So much happy coffee beans it could make your head spin. Here's where the baristas come in - they can tell you all about the different flavor notes, how deeply the coffee's been roasted, etc. so that you come away with a couple of bags of beans that are bound to please. Be prepared for the teeny tiny parking lot in back, adjacent to the drive through, or the on street parking up front. The coffee is worth the effort! read more

Cafe Moto, a city coffee shop in Barrio Logan, launched Cafe Moto in 1990 but has been roasting coffee in San Diego since the 1960s . However, I first recently tried Moto Coffee while dining at a local eatery in San Diego. From my first sip to the end of the cup, I enjoyed the rich flavors and high-quality taste. The next weekend, wanting more Moto Coffee, I drove down the freeway to Barrio Logan to purchase a bag for home brewing. Cafe Moto offers a wide variety of coffees and prepares each cup to perfection. Beyond their excellent coffee, their culture, vision, and values are impressive, and I was happy to support this local San Diego business. If you want delicious coffee, give Cafe Moto a try, or order from them online if you can't visit in person. It's that good. https://cafemoto.com/about/culture/ read more

I'm completely disappointed that this place will serve you only half a cup of coffee for an iced coffee and fill up the rest with ice. I asked for a cold coffee with no ice since I wanted to drink it later and didn't want to compromise the flavor once the ice melted and they literally gave me half cup of coffee! What a joke! read more

I ended up getting a scone, brown sugar latte, and one of the Cafe Moto canvas hats. Delicious! Hat was adorable. Contrary to the cold and rainy weather, the service I received was so warm and nice.

We come here weekly and LOVE the coffee! Undoubtedly the best coffee in San Diego. I've gotten their flat white, macchiato, iced vanilla latte with oat milk (my go-to) and most recently their seasonal drink Berrykin which is white chocolate and cranberry. Today I stopped by their pop-up shop and met a quality control staff Michelle who was so friendly and an absolute delight. She recommended the Moto espresso beans so I ended up buying one for home. She's very knowledgeable and we appreciated her friendliness and enthusiasm. Also my pup recommends their pup cup. She says it's the best! Highly recommend, from a forever customer read more
