How the week runs
Saturday is the Inland Empire’s cars and coffee day. Every week, Cars & Coffee Corona fills The Shops at Dos Lagos from 7am to 9am, and Menifee Cars and Coffee gathers from 8am at the donut shop on the corner of Newport Road and Murrieta Road, with no set end time.
The monthly meets take turns through the month. Temecula Valley Motoring Enthusiasts meet on the first Saturday, 8am to 10am, at Promenade Temecula. Grand Terrace Cars & Coffee takes the third Saturday, 8am to 10am, in the Walgreens lot on Barton Road. Claremont Cars & Coffee posts one date at a time, and its next is Saturday 21 November, 8am to 10am, at Granite Creek Community Church. On Sunday, the Unstabled Car Club’s Gasoline and Caffeine runs 9am to 11am at The Collection at Crafton Hills in Yucaipa on the dates it posts, which in 2026 have all been fourth Sundays.
The season
None of the meets on this page announces a winter pause. Grand Terrace says its meet is weather permitting; the others publish no rain policy, and Corona went ahead on 31 October 2026 with rain in the forecast. December brings two big events in Pomona that have their own pages: the Pomona Swap Meet and the Mooneyes Christmas Party.
What is held back, and why
Several meets that appear in Inland Empire listings are not on this page yet. Calimesa Cars and Coffee at Fire Rock Burgers & Brews ran on 13 September and 11 October 2026, but its organizer has not posted a November date. Saturday Night CarZ at The Shoppes at Chino Hills has posted nothing since February 2025, and Tuxies Cruise Night in Riverside has posted nothing since July 2024. Redlands Elks Cars and Coffee, the Moreno Valley Historical Society’s Classic Mornin’ Car Meet, Archibald’s Cars and Coffee in Menifee, the Temecula Car Show at Longshadow Ranch Winery, Oil Drippers Cars and Coffee in Chino, French Valley Rollers in Winchester and the Viejitos Riverside County cruise appear only in directories; their hosts’ own pages could not confirm a schedule. Each joins this page once an organizer publishes one.
Before you drive
Every lot on this page belongs to someone else: a mall, two shopping centers, a pharmacy, a donut shop and a church. The Unstabled Car Club says it does not condone street takeovers or illegal racing, and the same standard keeps every one of these meets alive. Arrive quietly, park in marked spaces, and leave at walking pace.
Where is cars and coffee in the Inland Empire on Saturday?
Every Saturday at The Shops at Dos Lagos in Corona, 7am to 9am, and at Newport Road and Murrieta Road in Menifee from 8am, per their organizers. Temecula meets on the first Saturday and Grand Terrace on the third.
Is there a cars and coffee on Sunday in the Inland Empire?
Yes, once a month. The Unstabled Car Club’s Gasoline and Caffeine runs 9am to 11am at The Collection at Crafton Hills in Yucaipa on its posted dates, next on 22 November and 27 December 2026.
Is there a cars and coffee in Temecula?
Temecula Valley Motoring Enthusiasts meet on the first Saturday of every month, 8am to 10am, at Promenade Temecula, across from Lazy Dog Cafe, per the group’s Facebook page.
Are Inland Empire car meets free?
None of the organizers on this page publishes a fee for the morning meet. Unstabled’s separate evening toy drive on 22 November asks for a $15 unwrapped toy.
