Cars & Social Kicks Off 2026 with First Brunch Gathering at Crave Café in Old Bridge

Cars & Social officially launched its 2026 event season with a relaxed and refreshing first-of-the-year brunch gathering on January 11, 2026, as the weather finally cleared and welcomed members with sunshine and mid-40-degree temperatures.

What began as a last-minute idea quickly turned into a memorable morning, as a group of Cars & Social members came together at the newly opened Crave Café in Old Bridge, New Jersey. The brunch spot is owned by the same team behind Jasper Stone Italian Steakhouse—a longtime partner and venue where Cars & Social has hosted multiple successful events—making this outing a natural way to support the owners’ newest venture.

Arriving around 10:00 AM, the group was able to line up their exotic cars directly out front, creating an eye-catching display for passersby. A table for 13 guests was ready upon arrival, setting the stage for an easy, welcoming experience.

Owners Kimmie and Victoria went above and beyond, bringing the table a full sampling of Crave Café’s menu. From classic French toast to hearty steak and eggs, every dish was met with rave reviews. Adding a unique Cars & Social touch to the morning, the group enjoyed custom coffees and cappuccinos featuring branded foam art with Cars & Social logos and iconic automotive marques including Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, and Porsche.

The gathering perfectly captured what Cars & Social is all about—community, support for local businesses, and enjoying great experiences together. It was an ideal way to start the new year, and members are already looking forward to returning to Crave Café for future brunch meetups.

With 2026 officially underway, Cars & Social is excited for what’s ahead and grateful to begin the year with good food, great company, and strong partnerships.
