I used their drive-thru. Cafe Moto ranks top on my favorite coffee list. It is the coffee shop that introduced me to third wave coffee. I truly love the drinks here. Someday I'll be able to finish their whole menu. The staff are straight to the point. Easy peasy.

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

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

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!

Stopped by a little after 2 pm to pick up some beans and to try their holiday drinks. The berrykins has a nice subtle cranberry taste and the butter not cry drink is sooo good! It's not too sweet. As always, our drinks came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Chill vibes and chill staff.

I absolutely love cafe moto! I get the custom super sweetie which is their nitro cold brew with 2 add shots ‍ forget Starbucks and run to cafe moto, and if you're lucky you'll make it in time to get a vegan Mexican chocolate concha Ben always has new recommendations and they never disappoint

We had wonderful service at Motos today. At first we only thought of getting a pour over and then saw the menu & had great drive thru service where the waiter walks up to your car. I had an earl grey with whole milk & lavender which was so refreshingly good. Perfectly made, not too sweet. We also saw people at the patio & swag stand so next time I hope to pop in the store. Great job folks!

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/
