Cortado & Mexican Mocha
Tony B.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Drive thru order must! I was in the area and always the best choice for coffee! Service is fast so even better.

Always fast and delicious drive up service

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!

First of all I love the branding - an old service shop turned coffee. The coffee is delicious and I'm working my way through the menu. They have pastries including vegan to enjoy with your coffee.

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

Ashley M.

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.

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

Which beans do they use for their vanilla latte's?

The last time I asked, it was their house beans. "Espresso Moto".

Can you buy a growler of the cold brew?

They have what looks like oil jugs full!

Do you guys also sell your unroasted green beans or teach roasting classes? Love your coffee!

Yes we sell green beans, ask in the store whats in stock.

Is there iced almond lattes?

We stock almond milk and can prepare an iced almond latte. Oatmilk has been the most popular lately.

Stumbled upon this sandwich spot and was pleasantly surprised with how refreshing the meal was. We…read morecame post beach and the hunger was real. The portions of the sandwiches were insanely huge. My pastrami was bigger than my hand, juicy and tender.. had to take it back home to finish. The kids were satisfied with their turkey sammie and definitely loved how spacious it was inside to really enjoy our meal. Our server was friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly, it wasn't busy either. They have really cool wall art that was entertaining to look at while you ate. Overall a true little gem, the kind of experience that leaves you thinking.. why did i wait this long to eat here? Looking forward to going back!

The pastrami itself was okay, not thick cut. We requested rye, and the rye bread was cold (hot pastrami on cold bread), likely refrigerated? The pickles were great! The staff behind the counter was excellent and very friendly. The sandwich included a salad choice, we ordered potato salad, very bland. I was also expecting more of a shopping experience in the Deli, not much to select from. A few salads in the deli case and a few bakery items. Some dry goods. We drove a distance to try this place out!

We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.

(Dw, from the inside, you can see outside well) Drinks were really good and carefully made, song selections were unique! We ended up chatting with one of the customers there too. Chill atmosphere 10/10 recommend. There's also free wifi here, signal isn't very good. :) Parked in free street parking about a min walk away.
