    What a beautiful idea - combine bike repairs and Italian espresso! Well executed. Ambiance: 5 stars Espresso and scones: 5 stars Friendly owners: 5 stars Lots of happy bicyclists hanging and chattering. P.S. They also carry amazing bread made by a local bread fairy.

    I had a tasty cortado and delicious gluten-free cookie here. Nice vibe, bike racing on a big screen, and a great view of the Whatcom Museum. They use Slate coffee.

    Pastrami, pepperoncinis and goat cheese - grilled!

    Nothing like having some delicious food while waiting to get a flat tire on your bike fixed! This was the special of the day - pastrami, pepperoncinis and goat cheese. It was delicious!! Also, great service with getting our bikes fixed!

    Great place. They have Saku super good drinks and well made coffee. Friendly and helpful service. Great baked goods from the co op. Excellent cycling support. Good local beer. There is so much here it is actually a bit mind blowing because it's such a small, simple space. I will go back again and again.

    What a sweet spot this is! We split the Madone with a side salad paired with Happy Mountain Honeydew Kombucha... it was fantastic. The grilled sandwich was tasty and the rosemary sourdough bread was awesome. As good as the sandwich was this pet friendly cafe offers dappled shade/sun seating options and a cool bicycle vibe. Well worth a try! (a define repeat for me!)

    Such an awesome place. Staff is so friendly and they definitely know what they're doing, bikes, coffee, and beer.

    Two stars - Disappointed…read more We went here with a group of friends towards the end of the evening on a Saturday. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. There are both outdoor and indoor seating areas. The seats by the fire pits outside were all taken, so we stayed inside. They have a variety of board games, and we took advantage of that. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, I cannot say the same for one member of the staff. I tried ordering food, but I had an unpleasant encounter with the person taking my order. They seemed completely uninterested in their job and made it seem like I was burdening them by ordering food. I ended up not ordering anything. The person at the bar was nice, and I did not have any issues with them. Perhaps it was an off night for the one staff member, but it rubbed me the wrong way. Despite my encounter, I liked the bar. I would probably recommend going to the bar with the caveat about potentially having poor service.

    Loved this spot! It was a great place to hangout while we were wandering around town. They had a…read morelovely outside space with plenty of seating, and a wide variety of seating - fire pit seats, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs. We sat by the fire for most of our stay and it was lovely. It was the perfect temperature to be outside by a fire pit. The drink I got was lovely, and they had a diverse menu of options with beers on tap and cocktail options. We didn't get a chance to try the food but it looked delicious! You order at the counter and seat yourself. I'd definitely come back!
