How the month runs
Dallas-Fort Worth has no single weekly cars and coffee. Its standing meets are monthly, hosted by a dealer, a coffee shop, a cigar lounge or a car club, and spread across the week of the month. The third Saturday has two, both 8am to 10am: Duino Coffeehouse in McKinney and Cars and Coffee Weatherford.
The end of the month is the busiest. On the last Saturday the Morning Maniacs gather on the downtown McKinney square from 7:30am, Industrial Cigar Co. runs C4 Frisco from 9:30am, and Streetside Classics opens its Fort Worth showroom for Caffeine and Classics from 9am, on the dates its calendar lists. The one weekly fixture is an evening: Nostalgia Nights, a classic car cruise-in at the Albertsons on US 287 in Arlington, every Friday from 6pm.
The season
None of these hosts publishes a winter break. The real variables are weather and the calendar. Nostalgia Nights cancels for rain or temperatures below 50F. The Weatherford meet is weather permitting and has stood down for charity events. The Morning Maniacs moved off the square in October 2026 for a Halloween show. Hosts post those changes on Facebook, so check there the night before.
What closed and what is not here
The meet most people still search for is gone. Cars and Coffee Dallas ran on the first Saturday at Classic BMW in Plano for more than nine years and held its last show on 1 December 2018, according to its own Facebook page, which has since said it holds only pop-up meets. Cowtown Cars and Coffee in Fort Worth is still listed by directories at Montgomery Plaza, but its own Instagram has not posted since 2019.
Some well-attended meets are not on this list because their hosts publish one date at a time and had no next date out when this page was checked. Cars and Coffee of Texas, the organizer behind Cars and Coffee Southlake, listed its most recent meet for 31 October at HG Sply Co. in Trophy Club. The Refinery in North Richland Hills ran its most recent Cars and Coffee on 17 October. Both get pages once a next date is out. Two more wait on their hosts. Corvette World Dallas in Carrollton held Corvettes and Coffee on 12 September and 10 October 2026, but has posted no November date and states no standing rule. Cars and Coffee Rockwall at Cavender Nissan last posted its third-Saturday schedule in May 2025. Gateway Classic Cars’ monthly Caffeine and Chrome lists twelve showrooms for October, and Dallas-Fort Worth is not one of them. The Texas Discovery Gardens meet at Fair Park has not listed a date since its September 2024 edition was cancelled.
Before you drive
Every meet here happens on somebody’s lot: a dealer, a coffee shop, a grocery store, a cigar lounge, a museum. Two hosts write their parking rules down. C4 Frisco sends spectators to the south side of the building and keeps show spaces for cars registered on the Park Up Front app. Nostalgia Nights keeps the lot in front of the Albertsons for shoppers. Everywhere, the business opens as the meet goes on, so arrive quietly and leave slowly.
Is there still a Cars and Coffee Dallas?
Not as a standing meet. The Classic BMW Plano show ended on 1 December 2018, and its Facebook page says it now holds only pop-up meets. Standing meets near Plano include C4 Frisco and Duino in McKinney.
Where is cars and coffee in DFW on the last Saturday?
The Morning Maniacs on the McKinney square (7:30am to 10am), C4 Frisco at Industrial Cigar Co. (9:30am to 11:30am) and, on the dates its calendar lists, Caffeine and Classics at Streetside Classics in Fort Worth (9am to noon), all per their hosts.
Is there a weekly car meet in DFW?
Nostalgia Nights in Arlington runs every Friday, 6pm to 10pm, for classic cars, per Classical Gas. It cancels for rain or below 50F.
Which DFW meets are free?
Nostalgia Nights, C4 Frisco and Cars and Coffee Weatherford say so in writing. The others publish no fee at all.
