Ladera Ranch Rides is a monthly cars and coffee in south Orange County. It meets on the second Sunday of every month from 9am to 11am in front of Oslo Coffee Co., 25642 Crown Valley Parkway, Suite E1, Ladera Ranch. Those details come from the organizer’s own FAQ.
The about page, signed by Daniel and Diana, describes the format in one line: “no trophies, and no judges; just good cars, good coffee, and good conversation.” It also says the meet is “typically” held on the second Sunday, which leaves room for the odd change of date.
The next second Sunday is 13 December 2026.
When to arrive
The organizer’s advice is specific. The meet runs 9am to 11am, and the FAQ says to arrive at 8:30am to be sure of a spot in the main lot, because the area fills quickly. Nothing is published about arriving earlier than that.
Where to park
Cars gather in the lot in front of Oslo Coffee Co. The organizer says the lot is barricaded before the show and that drivers are directed to a parking spot, so wait to be placed and do not pick your own space. The FAQ does not say where to park once the main lot is full or where spectators should leave a daily driver. Ask one of the people directing cars.
Which cars
All makes, models and eras are welcome, per the FAQ, which lists daily drivers, classics, imports, muscle cars, trucks and exotics. It says there are no entry requirements and no judging. The site has a pre-registration form that asks for the car’s year, make, model and color. The FAQ’s line on it is: “if you’re proud of it, register it.”
The coffee
The meet is free whether you bring a car or walk in. The organizer asks for one thing in return, which is support for the host: buy your coffee at Oslo Coffee Co. while you are there.
How to check a given month
The organizer’s site posts a photo gallery after each meet, and a November 2026 gallery was up when this page was checked. The site also offers an email newsletter for event updates. No rain policy is published, so the newsletter is the place a weather change would appear.
Before you go
No written conduct rules are posted. The meet is outside a coffee shop on a Sunday morning, in a lot the organizer barricades for the show. Arrive quietly, follow the people directing parking, and leave at walking pace.
