The July 2024 Cars & Coffee series added the Coffee Shop, an in-game photo location with a studio, multi-car setups and a nighttime drone show. It also featured timed Festival Playlist car rewards and the JDM Jewels Car Pack. The reward windows below are historical, not current unlock opportunities.
What the Cars & Coffee update added
Playground Games described the Coffee Shop as a new Evolving World location for solo or group photography. The July 15, 2024 announcement said: “This new series features a brand-new Evolving World Location, the Coffee Shop, which will become your favorite location for solo or group photo ops.” Read the announcement from Playground Games.
Photo opportunities at the Coffee Shop
The location includes murals, a drive-through photo opportunity, and an interior photo studio with a clean white background. Outside, three platforms are designed for photographing multiple cars. At night, special lights and spotlights alter the scene, while a drone show depicts a coffee cup, a car wheel and the series logo.
Other series features
The series also included a Coffee Cup outfit unlock, a collectible challenge and six EventLab props: Cars & Coffee Plinth, Barrier, Flag, Cup, Mural and Board. These are in-game content, not real-world merchandise.

Which cars were available as rewards?

What was the new DLC?
The update announcement associated the series with the JDM Jewels Car Pack, described as bringing Japanese-market cars to Forza Horizon 5. It identifies the pack as an add-on, but does not establish its current price, availability in each platform store, or inclusion in any particular game edition.

Forza’s official Forza Horizon 5 page lists add-on categories such as individual car packs, Car Pass, Welcome Pack, VIP Membership, Hot Wheels Expansion and Rally Adventure Expansion. That confirms an add-on ecosystem, not the contents of a specific bundle or physical edition. Check the storefront for your platform and region for current availability and edition details.

This article covers the July 2024 Cars & Coffee series. Forza used the Cars & Coffee name again in 2025 and 2026, so announcements from those later series should not be treated as evidence that the 2024 reward windows are still open or that their feature lists are identical. The Coffee Shop, named reward cars and JDM Jewels details here refer specifically to Playground Games’ July 15, 2024 announcement.
