Caffeine and Chrome is Gateway Classic Cars’ monthly open lot, run at its showrooms on the same Saturday. Gateway calls this one its San Antonio showroom and lists the meet as “San Antonio/Austin,” but the address is in New Braunfels: “679 Holcan Dr Suite 105, New Braunfels, TX 78130.” The next date it lists is the Holiday Party on Saturday 5 December 2026, 10am to 1pm.
When it runs
Gateway publishes Caffeine and Chrome as a list of dates for the year rather than a stated rule. Its 2026 list falls mostly on the last Saturday of the month, from “January 31st” to “October 31st - Trunk or Treat,” skips November, and ends with “December 5th - Holiday Party.” The events page gives the San Antonio/Austin entry for that party as “December 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM.” No 2027 dates are posted yet, so this page shows the next published date and nothing after it.
What it costs
Gateway’s program page: “The event is open to the public with NO admission fee, so just show up and enjoy!” It also promises free coffee and donuts “while supplies last.” No show-car fee is published.
Which cars
“Cruise in with your classic, collectible, or daily driver,” the program page says. “All makes and models are welcome,” and the event is billed as “family-friendly and pet-friendly.” Gateway adds one caution for a meet it runs at many showrooms at once: “Be sure to check that your nearest Gateway Classic Cars showroom is participating.”
Where to park
The meet uses the showroom’s own lot on Holcan Drive, and Gateway says there is “plenty of parking available.” It is a classic car dealership, so the cars for sale are inside and the cars that drove in are outside. Gateway lists the showroom’s hours as Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, closed Sunday.
Before you go
New Braunfels sits between the two cities the meet is named for, so it draws from both. San Antonio’s other standing meets are on fixed Saturdays: CarFest and Coffee at The Spin on the second Saturday, and the Tejas BMW CCA meet at First Watch on the third. Check the San Antonio/Austin entry on Gateway’s events page before driving.
