Love this place with its iconic artistic walls covered with graffiti and tables that are set up for sharing with others. Both a cafe and bike shop in one. Great way to get to know other people. Coffee is pretty good, told it was organic - either way, it was a good latte. Staff were extremely helpful. Coffee not bad either. On the weekends this place gets busy so you may have to wait for a table - well worth the wait. Eat inside or out. Outside is small but still good plus it is dog friendly. Takeaway available. Dietaries catered for. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram/stroller accessible. Reasonable parking out the front. 1

Happy I found this Cafe, hidden inside a bike shop. Kind of whimsical. The coffee is pretty good, reasonably priced. Staff are generally friendly and service is usually good. It hasn't been too busy the times that I've been but staff are quite prompt. Sometimes the gentleman making the coffee makes the milk too hot so it's scalding but otherwise it's quite pleasant. Couldn't ask for anything else!

Plus, its location right next to the station makes it super convenient for grabbing a quick coffee on the go. Whether you're a cyclist or just a coffee lover, this place is definitely worth checking out!
