Coffee
Cafe Moto
A Barrio Logan coffee roaster and cafe that became one of Roger's favorites: beans roasted in-house, a 24-hour brew he preferred over the popular V12, quick wifi, ample seating and even a bike fixing station out front.

Their cold brew is on point! So smooth! Drink it without sugar and milk to taste the characteristics of the bean!

“This has become one of my favorite coffee joints to hit up!”
Beans are roasted in-house; Roger preferred the 24-hour brew over the popular V12 for its longer-lingering flavor, drank it black, and liked the quick wifi, ample seating and bike fixing station out front. He suggested coming here instead of the Starbucks down the street.
