Curator’s note

Petrol Club started as two ideas from Bobby Guedea and Nick Ferrara, San Juan Capistrano neighbors and car fanatics: a coffee brand to bring to local meets, and a spot where enthusiasts could gather. They merged the two and opened in April 2026, in a building first put up as a gas station in the 1960s.

The Coffee

The espresso is roasted in partnership with Golden Lantern in Laguna Hills. A Not, Not Drinking list builds 0.5 percent drinks on Lyre's.

The Vibe

A massive elliptical bar, fluted wood curved to borrow the radius off a Porsche body, anchors a room of roll-up garage doors, timber joists, polished concrete, dark green tile and a back wall painted a licensed Porsche color. Seating is stools at the bar, a handful of cafe tables in the side room and umbrella tables on the patio through the open doors, because the middle of the floor belongs to a car on a built wood platform, with four race wheels mounted on the wall behind it.
