Motoring Coffee
1525 Union St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Motoring Coffee leans into a genuinely unique concept with actual vintage cars displayed throughout the space, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a carefully curated garage than a typical café. Their espresso drinks, particularly the Redline cappuccino, are smooth and well-executed, and they're refreshingly flexible with milk options at no extra charge. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time whether you're working on your laptop or just hanging out, though be prepared for the trade-off of crowds and a lively, sometimes loud energy.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Parking available.

There is no charge for milk change. The coffee shop as the name suggests has a car / automobile vibe. They have a Porsche inside and couple of other cool cars! Got the iced vanilla latte. Coffee was mid, will not be buying the beans. @thefoodblogie on insta for more.
Loved the idea of this place but the experience didn’t quite live up to it. Coffee was nice, food was better but.. always has long lines, seating is a challenge, noise level is high, slow to receive your drink when food is turned around quickly. The cars are a nice novelty but…
The staff aren’t always the nicest. The place itself is very beautiful I love the cars, the seats, and the environment. Every latte I’ve gotten has had coffee grounds in it unfortunately:(. I think it sucks that you guys discounted the cold foam it also sucks that you guys don’t…
