More Than Coffee — It's a Ritual

Cars & Coffee Elkin was born from a simple belief: the best conversations happen over great coffee and shared passions. What started as a weekly gathering for classic car enthusiasts has grown into Elkin's favorite morning destination.

Our baristas source single-origin beans from sustainable farms and roast them in small batches right here in the Triad. Every pastry is baked from scratch each morning — our sourdough croissants and cinnamon rolls are the reason people drive from three counties over.

Small-Batch Roasted Locally roasted every Tuesday and Friday
Community First Weekly car shows and charity fundraisers
Made with Love Everything baked fresh daily, no shortcuts
