This eco-conscious cafe prides itself on its wildlife friendly roof, rainwater harvesting system, air source heating and solar thermal and PV panels. Of course, it only uses ingredients sourced from local eco-friendly suppliers in its menu items too.

Locals can use Velo Cafe as a meeting point before a ride and start the day’s cycling with a healthy smoothie, or end their ride here with an Apres Hot Recovery Drink.

Top bike cafes are a great place to looking for new cycling buddies. Velo Cafe organise social rides that start and end at the bike cafe and cover 20-30 miles every Wednesday and Sunday. There is also a workshop to get your bike serviced and a shop to buy Velo merchandise.
