Cafe Racer (Now Closed) - Calimesa

IMG_4492.jpg

This coffee shop just opened the second week of March 2021 in Calimesa off County Line Rd.

The property is large with a “garden” being grown with grapes now, a large patio for seating, and a small shop.

 

The inside is a cross between a coffee shop and a motorcycle garage with a bike for sale too.

The looks make it feel like they don’t know if they want to be a garage or a coffee shop and with the bikes inside, it does make it cramped.

The espresso machine being used is a used machine from Starbucks and has not been calibrated nor cleaned by the taste or looks.

The barista and manager really do not know how to run or make a coffee drink. The espresso was sour and over-extracted.

The coffee used is over-roasted and very oily along with slightly stale.

They also do sell apparel, coffee from Gearhead, some items made with leather, and a motorcycle.


This coffee shop is not a must to go to or try until the baristas are trained, get good quality coffee for the drinks and make the shop less cluttered.

 

Cafe Racer is located at 950 Calimesa Blvd, Calimesa, Ca 92320

They are open seven days a week from 6 am - 3 pm Monday through Friday and 6 am - 6 pm Saturday and Sunday.
