Cafe Moto began in 1990 as a division of its parent company Pannikin coffee and Tea, serving San Diego communities since 1968. Remaining family and community focused, second-generation owners Torrey and Kim Lee incorporated Cafe Moto in 1998. With an ever-increasing demand for tea and coffee beverages, Cafe Moto provides an educational arena to teach and guide the burgeoning market, in addition to producing wonderful coffees and teas. Our sample kitchen has hosted a range of students from head chefs and first line baristas, to ex-bankers and tile workers. Our goal remains simple; provide a forum where small businesses can design a coffee bar menu according to taste preferences. This, we believe, will help to promote confidence to the conscientious customer.
