Cars and Coffee at the Screaming Bean is Harford County’s monthly meet, sponsored by the coffee shop it is named for. The organizer’s 2026 schedule, posted with its events: “April 4th first meet,” then 2 May, 6 June, 18 July, 1 August, 5 September, “October 3rd and last meet is the 31st.” Hours: “7:30am to 10am.” The place: “Event parking is held in front the All American Steak House parking lot, behind the Screaming Bean Cafe, look for the custom cars,” at 3700 Churchville Road, Aberdeen, Maryland 21001.
The Halloween finale
The last meet of 2026 is Saturday 31 October, billed as a trunk-or-treat special, 7:30am to 10am. The organizer has not posted 2027 dates; in 2026 the season opened on the first Saturday of April.
Rain
The organizer’s rule is the shortest in Maryland: “No event if it is raining but you can still enjoy a good cup of coffee in the shop.”
The rules
“All makes and models are welcome.” “Safety First!” “Please drive responsibly and obey all traffic laws.” “No aggressive driving, including burnouts, donuts or speeding in the parking lot!!” No fee is mentioned anywhere.
How it started
The earliest trace is a May 2025 event, when the meet ran every Saturday that month from 8am to 10am; in 2026 it settled into one Saturday a month with an earlier start. The events are posted by Michelle Grams, and the sponsor is The Screaming Bean, a cafe that counts the charities it has supported since opening. Some listing sites still give the venue as Aberdeen Plaza or list every Saturday; the organizer’s own schedule is the eight dates above.
