Motorcycle Coffee on the West Coast
Spoken Moto
Coffee Shop | Bend, OR
@SpokenMoto | spokenmoto.com
Spoken Moto has truly built a community around motorcycles. In keeping with their mission to “Reclaim, restore, and bring new life, beauty and purpose to what was forgotten,” they converted an old and forgotten motorcycle shop into their headquarters in Bend, OR.
At Spoken Moto, you can find vintage motorcycles, quality goods, warm food, hot coffee, beer, and even live music on occasion. When the stage is silent, expect to enjoy a symphony of coffee grinders, espresso steaming, and the sweet melody of motorcycle parts and bolts clanging—they run an active motorcycle repair shop out of the space. The result? A true fusion of love for coffee and motorcycles.
Best of all, at Spoken Moto you might make some new friends that you can join for one of their epic motorcycle events throughout the year.

Motorcycle Coffee in the South
