Effin’ Cars and Coffee

05/11/2026

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to Effin’ Cars and Coffee at the Orchard The Orchard Inn this last weekend! We had an awesome turnout, some incredible rides, and even better company. Events like this wouldn’t be possible without all of you bringing the energy and passion for the car community.

We can’t wait to do it all again and see everyone at The Critic in Sigel on June 20th! Mark your calendars and bring your friends — it’s going to be another great time. 🚗☕🔥

(Updated)
It’s that time… 👀🔥

We’re ready to drop the 2026 Effin’ Cars & Coffee dates! Dates are locked in, we’re just putting the finishing touches on the October date.

Also… yeah… about that last post 😬
We may or may not have said 2025 (oops) and missed a date. That one’s on us. My bad.

Appreciate y’all rolling with it — the updated lineup is looking 🔥 and it’s gonna be a great year.

Stay tuned… 👀🚗☕️

📣 Effin’ Cars & Coffee Update 📣

We’ve had a few questions about our Cars & Coffee event originally scheduled at the Dieterich Bank Corporate Office, as well as the Cars & Coffee happening the same day at the Gabby Goat.

To avoid dividing participation between the two and to keep the focus on what truly matters—the car community coming together—we’ve decided to cancel our September event.

We’re already working on plans for October’s Cars & Coffee at Lake Land College’s Technology Center, and we look forward to bringing everyone together again then.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope the September event at the Gabby Goat is a great success for all who attend.
