Season 15 was an incredible milestone for us and we couldn't have gotten here without the thousands of people who make the car community in Ohio so great.

Thank you to our season sponsors for making this season possible. We operate entirely on sponsorship funds which keeps every meet we host free for the community to attend. Please support the people and companies which support us!

We want to acknowledge our amazing event crew for their contributions to the season. These people are the best there is: Josh Conison, Kyle Hennosy, Jacob Moore, Jahil Parker, Adrian Shellabarger, Sam Pacey, and Collin Thomas. We also received help from Kristen McEnery, Darcy Travis, Cameron Welsh, and Rachel Milligan, thank you!

Our coffee partner, Backroom Coffee Roasters, kept us caffeinated throughout the season and, after all, coffee is right there in our name! Thanks to Trent and his team for their dedication to our schedule.

You have seen his work daily on our Instagram account and we must shout out our official photographer, Mark Matheny. Mark's talents are obvious if you look at his work and we're proud to support him and showcase his photos every day.

There are countless other individuals and groups which helped to make this season what it was; Meyer Shank Racing, the entire MAG team, Uptown Westerville, Polaris Fashion Place, the NRI and Arena District teams, the City of Columbus, the Municipal Light Plant, the City of Dublin, several police departments, and others. It takes an incredible amount of time and energy to put together each season and we appreciate all of their help.

Season 16 will begin in April 2024, so until then, we'll be gazing longingly at our photos from this season and making regular visits to the garage to check on our favorite machines.

One of the perks of having a great racing team right here in the city; we get to visit them once in awhile for a meet! Thanks to Mike Shank and the entire Meyer Shank Racing team for opening the doors of their HQ to us again today, for the second year in a row.

The array of exotic, classic, and race cars on display was stunning, in particular the nine Ford GTs!

Season 15 is winding down in under a month, so don't miss our meet in Uptown Westerville coming Oct. 7 or the Season Finale at Midwestern Auto Group on Oct. 28!

Season 15 is officially here! Midwestern Auto Group hosted an incredible morning on Saturday, April 29 for the first meet of the season. 

The undisputed highlight was the McLaren Senna GTR displayed by the Ross Family. This 1-of-75 example looked and sounded incredible and we appreciate the opportunity to include it in our first meet!

The legendary Season Opener Party was a highlight of Seasons 2-9 and, after a six-year hiatus, returned for the ninth time to launch Season 15! 

We couldn't believe our luck with the Municipal Light Plant, a relatively new venue in Columbus, combined with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to close W. Nationwide Blvd for our parking area. Thanks to the City of Columbus for being great partners on this event! 

The evening was made even better by food from Cameron Mitchell Premier Events, music by DJ AXCESS, dance performances by WhirlWind Dance, a watch and jewelry display by Diamond Cellar, and a photo booth from Social Booth Columbus.

Thanks again to our guests, sponsors, staff, and vendors for creating a night we will never forget!

We have posted a photo album on our Facebook page, find your "step and repeat" photos there!

Season 14 has officially concluded and we couldn't have asked for a better day for our Season Finale! 

The perfect weather meant Midwestern Auto Group was completely full of incredible cars, from a Ferrari Daytona and LaFerrari to muscle cars, classics, and everything in between.

Thanks to Premier Bank, Libertas Wealth Management, Di Lusso Real Estate, ESOTERIC, and The Garage Door Guy for making it all possible! We truly could not have events like this without their support.

Keep an eye on the Columbus Cars and Coffee website in February 2023 for Season 15 news and announcements.

​Until then, we'll just be staring at this photo...

Mike Shank and his team at Meyer Shank Racing rolled out the red carpet for us to host a meet at their new headquarters in Pataskala and we can't thank them enough for their hospitality!

Highlights included their Indy 500 winning IndyCar, IMSA championship winning Daytona Prototype, Fernando Alonso's Formula 1 car from 2007, a pedigreed Porsche 962, a Porsche 918 Spyder, a Porsche Carrera GT, and an entire lineup of Ford GTs.

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Pataskala, it was a meet we will never forget!

The Columbus Cars and Coffee Season Finale is October 29, 2022 at Midwestern Auto Group!

Turnpoint Church in Groveport held their second annual Community Connect event, starting with a Columbus Cars and Coffee meet!

​We brought a diverse group of muscle, classic, exotic, and race cars to kick off the successful, family-friendly day at Turnpoint.

Thanks to the entire Turnpoint Church community for inviting us to be part of their special event!

We've always known that the Arena District is one of our most popular locations. That was the response in a survey we ran late last year, but you don't need to have survey results to see that people LOVE being on Nationwide Boulevard in the heart of the city for Columbus Cars and Coffee!

We want to send a big THANK YOU to Nationwide Realty Investors for partnering with us on the return of the Arena District Meet, we truly could not do the event without their support.

In addition, Libertas Wealth Management presented the event this year, and we thank Adam and his colleagues for making these opportunities possible!

Of course, the entire season would not be possible without our season sponsors; MAG, ESOTERIC, Di Lusso Real Estate, Premier Bank, The Garage Door Guy, and Libertas Wealth Management. Please support these great companies! 

DJ Axcess and Backroom Coffee Roasters each contributed to the atmosphere with their respective talents and they deserve our recognition as well.

A highlight of the show this year, Genius Garage brought their Lotus T125 and their Lykan HyperSport to share with us. Thanks to Casey and Taylor Putsch and their team for making the trip to Columbus. We always enjoy seeing them!

Finally, a special shout out to Kristen McEnery, our project manager and coordinator of all permits and paperwork. Kristen works behind the scenes to make these large-scale events happen and her talents are vital to our success. Thank you, Kristen!

​Until next time...

We were flattered to be asked by Polaris Fashion Place to bring a Cars and Coffee meet to their location on Fathers Day weekend.

The mall is a great, central location within the city, with nearly limitless parking, so we knew the turnout would be excellent for the event.

Wow, the turnout was truly amazing. The perfect, mild weather helped to bring 400+ cars to the meet, ranging from a Lola T70 to a McLaren 765LT Spider and an incredibly diverse array of cars in between.

Thanks to all of the car owners who participated, and thanks as always to our amazing season sponsors! 

Our first Members Only event of the year, reserved for our 100 VIP members, was a great success!

The day started with coffee and bagels at ESOTERIC followed by a 2-hour drive NE to Dundee, Ohio for a tour of the Created Hardwood workshop. Phil and his team from Created Hardwood showed us the many stunning products they're making.

After the tour and a cutting board giveaway, we drove about 30 minutes to Wooly Pig Farm Brewery for lunch. 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this event, and special thanks to Todd Cooperider at ESOTERIC, Phil Hicks at Created Hardwood, and the entire team at Wooly Pig Farm Brewery for helping to make our Saturday so much fun!
