Exotics & Espresso gathers car enthusiasts every Saturday morning in Irvine, Orange County, with the next event set for tomorrow at the time of publication – September 13, 2025, at 150 Progress. The morning meetup runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., offering a straightforward way to spend a couple of hours around high-end and luxury vehicles. It’s free to attend, and the location provides ample space for displays without any formal registration required.

Event founders Chris Wheeler and Daniel Sanchez are keenly committed to providing a professional, yet informal event suitable for all:
“…our Cars and Coffee event was born from a desire to create an inclusive space for car enthusiasts after being turned away from a local Cars and Coffee gathering. We understood the need to prioritize paying vendors, but rather than accept exclusion, we decided to take matters into our own hands… [we] welcome all car lovers but also foster community and camaraderie.”

The weekly gathering focuses on exotic and luxury cars, where owners bring out their Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLarens, among other marques for a casual showcase. The atmosphere stays informal, so you can focus on a coffee buzz from on-site vendors while sharing experience with fellow car enthusiasts. Make sure to arrive early to give yourself plenty of time to walk around and appreciate details up close. It’s the kind of event where discussions turn to maintenance tips or recent modifications, all without the structure of a judged competition.

For those who enjoy classic, collector, and luxury cars as a hobby, these mornings provide a low-pressure setting to connect with like-minded drivers and admirers. The popular Irvine spot makes it convenient for locals in Orange County as well as those traveling in from further afield by its proximity to several major routes. Weather permitting, the outdoor setup lets vehicles look their best under the California sun.

Those who store their collections with us at Auto Concierge find these events a practical excuse to visit our specialist facilities. They can arrange to pick up a turn-key vehicle from their collection – fully serviced and ready to drive – right before heading out. This approach lets them enjoy their prized cars on the day, whether it’s a classic coupe or a modern supercar, without the hassle of last-minute preparations. It’s a seamless way to blend storage convenience with spontaneous outings.

Events like this highlight the appeal of luxury cars in everyday settings, turning a simple Saturday into a highlight for owners and admirers alike.
