A monthly showcase of speed, style, and art during ‘Coffee and Cars’ at POST Houston

“Coffee and Cars” is a 20-year-old event held in the heart of Houston created to share the passion and love for cars with everyone nationwide.

Every first Saturday of the month at POST Houston, an incredible display of hypercars, exotic cars, JDM machines, vintage cars, and much more can be seen at the free, come-and-go event.

The last show, held on Feb. 1, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., presented bright papaya McLarens, sleek black and silver Mercedes, and vibrant red Ferraris; crowds gathered around to see Lamborghinis, Bugattis and Porsches. Fans of the movie series “Back to the Future” were pleasantly surprised to see the iconic Delorean with its doors wide open for a clear interior view.

Motor-minded companies like Victory Motor Co., Garages of America, Rafa Racing, and Red Bull sponsored the event. Employees of Red Bull were found around the event, handing out free energy drinks or in the DJ Tank blasting music fit for the venue.

This event was advertised on the Coffee and Cars Co. Website as an “Open Show,” allowing anyone interested to bring their cars to show off. The next event is titled “Rad Day V3 2025,” where not only hypercars and exotics but also the “raddest” cars of the 80s and 90s will be on display. This event will be held on Saturday, March 1.

Coffee, a hot commodity early in the morning, was provided by Eden Plant Co., right inside POST Houston. Baristas managed to get orders out quickly despite the long lines.

Coffee and Cars Co. also makes time to showcase artists. At the February event, Hafsa Aftab, a USA-based artist, displayed her car-inspired pieces using miniature sports cars from brands like Mustang, McLaren, Bugatti, and Pagani.

Aftab has been creating art for 12 years. Inspired by her son’s love of cars, she came to appreciate them herself. Her pieces take nearly a

month to complete: two weeks dedicated to planning in her mind and finding inspiration, followed by another two weeks for the actual creation. Her work draws from brand names and logos to craft vibrant and stylish artistic representations of those cars.

Aftab’s art spans various styles—geode art, woodworking, and calligraphy. Her work can be found on Instagram @hafsa_art_studio.
