Donut Derelicts has been the blueprint for Cars & Coffee-style gatherings for decades. Every Saturday morning, Huntington Beach locals and enthusiasts from across Southern California roll into Adams Ave Donuts with hot rods, muscle cars, customs, and the occasional exotic. The crowd is as diverse as the lineup: retirees swapping stories, families grabbing donuts, and gearheads photographing rare builds. The atmosphere is laid-back but buzzing, fueled by caffeine, nostalgia, and a touch of exhaust. It’s a gathering that feels as natural to Huntington Beach as surfing at dawn — a weekly ritual that anchors SoCal car culture.
