    Got a Rosella tea and vanilla oat latte as well as two butter croissants. The rosella tea was nice and not too sweet but the despite the milk, I could still taste some burnt beans. The best part was the butter croissants. The atmosphere is really cool, lots of space to sit but it was a little bit warm inside for me.

    I honestly don't know why people are harsh on this place due to most of it being "members only"... that's the point of the business model! They still have rotating cool cars in the lobby you can enjoy. I feel like you come to this spot to have a cup of coffee and quiet time. I do give it four stars for now because I do feel like the coffee is overpriced (but I feel that way about most all coffee stops) and because I've only had the chai and can attest to its delicious nature. I can't speak on the other drinks nor food.

    Such a cute spot!!! The coffee is good (although no drip coffee in the late afternoons), and the seating is aesthetic and spread out, great for getting work done. AC is

    Excellent coffee and this unique museum/automobile heaven is spectacular! I love cars. This is part of a local automobile club and they have sectioned off about a third of the facility as a public coffee shop with static displays of unique, classic automobiles and motorcycles The lattes, cappuccinos, Matcha's are reasonably priced and taste great. It's the corner of Olympic and Stoner south side of the street perhaps six parking spaces in front but you can also drive around and find some parking on the street.

    Looking for cool coffee shops and we came across this one here. We got here at 7:48am so glad this opens up early. We were excited to look around and enjoy our drinks (group of 8) but we didn't. looks like members ONLY, FOR ADMISSIONS TO SEE THE REST OF THE CARS. We ordered Hot Chocolate, Vanilla latte, and my favorite 'Traction Control ' Blueberry Matcha with oat milk topped with graham crackers dust (delicious). Pastries we ordered the lemon muffins, cinnamon roll and a butter croissant. The staff was nice and was who recommended my matcha drink.

    You know it really says something when a Teriyaki vendor for an event can't sell because the clientele at this cafe are the types not to eat rice.. I'm not a car person so I can't comment too much on that but I visited because there was an event and for an event space it's pretty neat. Lots of vintage vehicles and memorabilia for photo ops in the main area and they have their own merch and members' club as well. There's a driving simulator, lots of spaces for vendors to post up and sell their wares, a garage with lots of fancy cars in the back, a cozy lounge area with empanadas and alcohol being sold, and of course you can get coffee here too. Since there was a line due to the event, it almost went out the door and took awhile to get our drinks despite the multiple baristas working. Probably just fine on a normal day though. Parking was limited but we managed to score street parking. I got a London Fog Latte and it was super bland and watered down despite making no adjustments to it. So I guess you yourself have to add sugar and syrup. I'd had better at Starbucks and even Gong Cha for god sake's so as an actual coffee place it's pretty mid. Cool cars and display though!

    If awards were being given for the most ingenious coffee house concept this would be it! I have been around this area a long time and have never checked it out until this morning! I'm so glad I did. First of all my vanilla latte was the best I've ever had. The huge warehouse loft like space is curated with incredible cars and memorabilia. Trust me the place is HUGE. They have many groupings with sofa chairs and tables. Behind walls of plants and trees is, it was explained to me, a members only club ala we work concept. For 150 you have your own quiet private office retreat. I'm seriously considering it! The place even has its own merch and the coolest gift cards ever. As you'd expect the two guys I spoke to behind counter were cool, hip and welcoming. A must to check out!

    I came here for the first time on Friday, got the cold brew, which I really liked. Griffin was very helpful. It's a cool spot to come with friends for a coffee. They also have a members' club for $150 per person, plus a $500 initiation fee. Definitely recommend checking it out!

    Finally checked out this super hyped up cafe, but unfortunately, I won't be RACING over here anytime soon :/ Let's start with the concept - I love how the cafe is inside a car club, which is perfect for a vintage or sports car enthusiast. However, most of their cars are displayed to club members only, and you can only see them from a distance through snake plant dividers. The rest of the cafe is accessible to the general public, and includes a barista bar, limited seating area, and a clothing/merchandise display. As for the drinks, my sister tried their signature matcha + butterfly pea drink, while I had their seasonal yuzu Hojicha drink. We both found the Hojicha and matcha on the lower quality and diluted end, although the yuzu cream top was quite fragrant and authentic. While their coffee might be better than their matcha and Hojicha offerings, the limited parking situation (you will likely have to street park since members of the car club physically stand in the spaces out front to reserve for their friends), mediocre drinks and limited seating area doesn't make it my favorite cafe to stop by in the West LA area.

    Motoring coffee is a great place to grab a drink and get a little work done if you can find sitting. Unless you are a member and can enjoy all the benefits of the motoring club. The coffee is pretty good. I got a regular iced latte with almond milk. Super busy early in the morning but fun to see all the cars while you're in there.

    My first impression of Motoring Coffee was the scent of tire rubber because I literally walked into a car garage. You'll find classic cars and motorcycles, but most of them will be in an area where you'll need access by having a membership. Luckily I came for a barista throwdown in collaboration with Fellow, Koatji (plant based milk, oat and rice) and Motoring Coffee. During this event, those in attendance and guests were able to walk through the garage, which is usually closed off to the general public unless you're a member. I tried their iced vanilla latte and it was refreshing and solid. I know, so basic! I'm not much of a vanilla latte guy but they make their vanilla syrup in house. Their banana bread was also solid. If you're not a member of the club, you'll still be able to see a few vehicles around and be able to sit and hang out towards the back. @a.rich.verse (ig) @rich_verse (TT)

    Not worth it! The concept is "cool" but you can't even do anything. The seating area is so small with one bathroom. It's like $150 a month to be a "member" and see the cars plus a $500 initiation fee. No day passes or anything. The coffee wasn't good.. it was all super plain. For example, latte (no flavors), espresso, and teas. Some sandwiches for $18 and pastries. The coffee "kitchen" is small but they are quick so I'll give them that! I don't recommend..

    I thought the concept of this was really cool And checked it out with a friend who's an avid car enthusiast. The set up of the place was cool with a very motor car/ automobile type of vibe with lots of cars on display, in paintings and even some more in the back where "members only" can hang out for ($150/ month) after initiation fee. I asked about a day pay but they didn't offer that option which I would've opted for. As for the coffee choices, a bit disappointed because online, there seemed to be cool foodie type of drinks like one called "burnt rubber" or cold foam or even pink/ yellow drinks but when I got up to The counter, I didn't see anything like that. Just regular, basic coffee options. I even asked the barista which was a cool sweet drink and he said the "mocha" and couldn't think of anything else so I just went with a matcha latter with Madagascar vanilla syrup. It was good but kinda bummed our cups didn't have the motor coffee logo like others have posted. Overall 3/5 with pros being cool concept, locations, things to see and even places to take pics outside for car people but cons being not worth it for foodies or people trying to just hangout. Kinda would've liked to see the back and hype them up on here but hopefully a member can vouch for that for us!

Once ordered, you're allowed to sit at the Equinox lounge and they'd bring your order to your table. The menu offered probably not as plentiful as the one in WeHo, but rich enough selections to pick from including many fun smoothies! We went for their Breakfast Burrito with avocado add-ons and loved how perfectly the eggs were cooked and well-complemented by the melted cheese. Instead of regular hash-brown, they used more rosti-alike one which gave extra twist of crispy texture within the burrito. The sausages were my fave being flavorful and served in big satisfying chunks! If you're into pastries like me, definitely no skip on their Pain Suisse. Like seriously just looking at the pic almost made me drooled again, perfect lamination with delightful buttery pastry and rich stuffing. Would certainly order it again and again!

I ordered the strawberry matcha with a strawberry cream top and it was delicious and creamy. The staff who took my order and made my drink was super helpful and friendly. This cafe has a lot of seating so perfect to enjoy a snack after your workout. I'm unsure if you need a gym membership to access, but since I was attending a pop up, all they had to do was scan my ID. You have to pay for parking if you use the garage, but the front desk validates parking

ORDER 01. brown butter latte ("BBL"): house-made caramelized butter syrup (containing REAL butter), espresso, & milk 02. gold coast: eggs, beef & potato hash, avocado, pepper jack cheese, scallions, & cilantro crema in a whole wheat wrap i was worried the burrito might be too dry on account of the whole wheat or too greasy because of the hash, but it was neither dry nor greasy! all the ingredients came together beautifully. the burrito felt healthy and satiating, enough to feed two adults! note that this item is only available at the santa monica branch! the "gold coast" is the cafe's take on the california burrito, whereas "the six" is the cafe's take on the standard american breakfast. pick the former if you want something more savory. pick the latter if you want something more sweet. in any case, the hot sauce served on the side is a must!

They made the drinks but kept them behind the counter without calling the order aloud... finally went to check and found them there - so approach and ask for your drinks. Ordered the Black Sugar Assam - flavor was smooth, it was surprisingly sweet but not overly so (this drink has no sugar level to adjust). Boba were cooked just right and had great chew. I ordered it with less ice as my usual. Also ordered for a friend and didn't realize her drink came without boba so be sure to double check the menu as you order so you get toppings (or not) as you wish. FYI - they have a rewards program, join earn points, and get a birthday drink (discount) too! There's a small seating area inside, quiet music playing, and people working/studying (with a sign to use your indoor voice). Vibe is quiet and chill.

It was clean inside when I went by at 8 PM, not super busy, decent amount of seating/tables. There are a bunch of board games as well so seem like a nice place to drink boba and hang out.

Boba has pretty good texture -- not super mushy/overly soft, decent qq.
