Your Saturday morning plans now have a reasonable excuse to involve cars, coffee and another conversation about parts you probably should have installed three months ago.
NorCalRacing and MOKA & Co are bringing Cars & Coffee to Livermore on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The gathering takes place at 4521 Livermore Outlets Drive, Livermore, California 94551.
The official NorCalRacing announcement describes it as a family event. Its flyer confirms the date, hours and location, giving East Bay enthusiasts a straightforward way to start the weekend.

MOKA & Co’s official Livermore page independently confirms the address. The café serves Yemeni coffee, handcrafted drinks and desserts, making the coffee portion of the event more than a folding table beside a suspicious extension cord. Moka & Co
The posted 10 a.m. start is the public event time. It should not be treated as a confirmed vehicle staging or early-entry time.
Why This Meet Belongs on Your Weekend List
NorCalRacing already has a connection with the community Pro Street covers.
Our SLA Block Party coverage at P&S Detail Products East Bay documented a gathering that brought together imports, American muscle, exotics and other custom builds in San Leandro. That previous turnout shows why another NorCalRacing event deserves attention. It does not guarantee Saturday’s vehicle count or lineup. My Pro Street
The appeal of a cars-and-coffee gathering is the opportunity to meet the people behind the builds.
A clean engine bay becomes more interesting when the owner explains the wiring. A wheel setup makes more sense when you hear how the car actually drives. An apparently simple project can reveal years of fabrication, troubleshooting and occasionally purchasing the same part twice.
That is the kind of car culture worth showing up for.
Saturday’s announcement does not list judged classes, trophies or specific featured vehicles. Go for the gathering itself, and let the cars provide the surprises.
This Is a Separate October 10 Event
There is an important calendar distinction for anyone searching for Livermore car meets.
The Cars and Coffee Livermore website currently lists its next monthly gathering for Saturday, October 24, from 9 a.m.–noon, at Republic Square. NorCalRacing’s MOKA & Co flyer advertises October 10, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Tri-Valley Car Show & Meet
The similar location and wording make these easy to confuse.
Use the October 10 organizer’s announcement for this Saturday’s plans. Do not assume the monthly event’s registration process, free-admission statement or parking instructions automatically apply.
Two events sharing a neighborhood do not magically share a calendar. Unfortunately, search results occasionally behave as though they do.
How It Fits Into This Weekend’s Car Calendar
Northern California has several worthwhile automotive events on October 10–11. Your choice depends on whether you want a casual gathering, a particular vehicle category or cars being driven at race pace.
| Event | Confirmed schedule | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| NorCalRacing × MOKA & Co, Livermore | Saturday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. | Cars, coffee and community |
| Nostalgia Days, downtown Novato | Saturday show, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. | Classics, hot rods and downtown atmosphere |
| Diablo Valley Mustangs All Ford show, Martinez | Saturday, October 10; verify hours with organizer | Ford-focused enthusiasts |
| SVMC Cars and Coffee, Portola Valley | Saturday, 8:30–10:30 a.m. | An earlier Peninsula gathering |
| CSRG Sears Point Challenge, Sonoma Raceway | October 9–11 | Vintage racing and trackside photography |

For East Bay readers looking for a late-morning gathering, the Livermore event is a convenient editorial pick. For dedicated Ford coverage, Martinez offers a more specific theme. Sonoma provides the strongest option for photographing historic cars in motion.
Trying to attend everything is possible only if you spend considerably less time looking at cars than you originally intended.
Bring the Car, Respect the Venue
Before leaving, check the organizer’s post for updated parking, staging and participation information.
Once there, follow staff directions, keep access routes clear and ask before touching someone else’s vehicle. If you are photographing or filming, give owners and families room to move.
For creators, wide shots establish the atmosphere, but the useful details often come from short conversations: what changed, what was difficult and what the owner would do differently.
You can explore more local builds and event coverage through Pro Street TV, or browse Pro Street Online when those conversations inevitably expand your parts list.
Leave the dramatic exhaust demonstration at home. The coffee shop already has equipment capable of making unnecessary noise.
Saturday’s Plan: Livermore, 10 a.m.
The details to save are simple: Saturday, October 10, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., MOKA & Co at 4521 Livermore Outlets Drive.
Check the official NorCalRacing event post before heading out. Bring your camera, bring your questions and make some time for the people building the cars.
The project can spend one morning outside the garage. It might even remind you why you started it.
