    Hidden gem! I live nearby and never gave this place a try until now --shame on me! From the music selection playing through old school speakers, to the smooth latte and chai, it was great! It is larger inside than expected, however, it was so busy and a little difficult to get a small table. Once one was secured, my kiddos and I enjoyed playing cards while we sipped our drinks. People were friendly and knowledgeable. They use a variety of coffee roasters and have beans for sale. Definitely a top notch local choice!

    The cakes were wonderful. Soft, flavorful. Green tea with strawberry was very good. I'm not a coffee girl!

    This place was packed on a Saturday morning! Lots of seating available with cute plants in each table and bike decor on the walls. The back side of the coffee shop has a look of a Bike workshop but I learnt that it was for decor and no bike work is done here. The decor all in all is like an old coffee shop with mismatched furniture. If you are lookin for a modern chic place, this is not for you. Speaking about the coffee, I wasn't very impressed. The black coffee seemed burnt by the staff was very kind and switched it for us and made a pour over coffee for no extra charge. We also got a handcrafted coffee which I was excited for, but somehow it didn't really meet expectations. Food : there were plenty of baked goods to choose from, one of which was vegan almond cupcake. There was also 1 savory turkey sandwich option. I'd like it if they expanded their food menu to include hot sandwiches and have more vegan and savory options. I don't think we'll go back. Nothing about this place seemed exciting enough to bring us back to this coffee place.

    Our all time favorite coffee shop! We are here at least 1x a week! We LOVE the seasonal menus. They always have a fun theme, always have unique flavors, and it's so fun to see what they create next! The baked goods are always delicious & they offer a variety of options that change daily. Highly recommend any of the pie bars if you get a chance to grab one! Vibe is perfect It's what you want in a coffee shop. Comfy, cozy, humming with a little coffee chatter, good music, and live music (sometimes)! And they live up to their name with bikes in the back - mostly vintage bikes, but it fits the theme!

    Love the vibes and atmosphere! Ordered a Honey Bee iced latte (honey, cinnamon, and vanilla) and it was great! Also got a lavender mocha iced latte and WOW! Fantastic

    Found a fun little coffee house in Florence. Wow, the entire time hubby and I sat in here sipping our lattes, there was a constant line at the order counter. Smells delicious in here. Dining area has a variety of tables and chairs and even some leather pairs of chairs. Very comfy with the soft hum of chatter. Only two sugar free flavors: vanilla and caramel. Otherwise, a nice menu offering regular and seasonal flavors. Half dozen or so baked goods available for purchase at the counter. For non coffee drinkers: hot chocolate, hot tea, chai latte, and steamers.

    My favorite coffee shop in Florence. Locally owned and operated. I'm here at least weekly and all if the brews I've had have been wonderful. I highly recommend it. Each time I'm there I see the owner who's making new friends and welcoming back regulars. Run don't walk to try this great coffee shop. PS they have homemade pastries, muffins and treats that change out regularly. They are yummy, too!

    This place has been around for a while, and it never disappoints. The staff are all very friendly, while the coffee is always great! My first time here it was mostly a bike shop with a cafe, couple tables here and there. My most recent visit reinvigorated my love for the place as they have added more tables as well as a small amount of toys for children who come in with their adults. My son enjoyed playing with the espresso maker toy while I got amped up on my dirty chai. Fresh baked goods are also available at the counter so don't forget to grab your sugar fix.

    Still love this place. I moved away from the area for school, so whenever I'm in town, I HAVE to go at least once and my most recent visit, I went twice. I love their seasonal flavors. For June, I tried their cincy summer dream and the Graceland and they were absolutely delicious. My friends and I would come here in high school to study and hang out and we always had a great time. If you are looking for a cozy coffeehouse, look no further.

    Really like this place. Very quaint and lots of places to sit. The pumpkin spice cake was spot on.

    Yummy coffee for my mother, but my dad's was pretty bad. The shop was cute though, and the employees were friendly.

    I've now tried a few drinks: the lavender mocha (very yum) and the Seagull (2 shots of espresso and milk over ice).

    I'll be honest, because of the prices I was very reluctant to spend money here. As a matter of…read morefact, I walked out of that store years ago after perusing a few bikes. I'm glad I came back! I walked in awhile back and dropped off a Shwinn hybrid. Ben did a "tune-up" on it for me. Did 50 miles at Little Miami Scenic Trail with that bike. Damn near killed me. After seeing so many other "real" bikers pass me with ease I made up my mind. My first bike was a Cannondale Synapse. I wasn't too happy with that bike. Went back two weeks later and upgraded to a Specialized Tarmac. Yeah. I went from a $299 Wal-mart hybrid to a $2,100 professional road bike. I see and feel where that money goes. Huge difference. Ben was great at helping me understand what I was getting into and never once pressured me into buying anything. He actually turned me away from a $2,800 bike! It took some time to get use to these bikes. I had pain in my back, knees, butt, neck and wrists. I tried to be cheap and that was a mistake on my part. I got smart and bought biker shorts, shirts and gloves. After just a few weeks of riding and getting my posture correct my body started to adjust. Ben gave me pointers on how to sit in the saddle and a few other little tricks to help. I came in at least once a week and not once did anyone mind me there asking questions. It wasn't long before I started riding like a pro. Best upgrade was purchasing Specialized shoes and clips. I took Ben's recommendations and it paid off. My speed and endurance really enhanced. I was able to do a century on Little Miami Scenic trail. Understand, it takes time, patience and commitment. If anyone is trying to recommend you something, it's because they know you will not enjoy your experience if you lack the proper accessories. It's a serious sport! I've compared their prices to competitors both online and brick and mortar. They are on point with their prices.

    I took my e-bike in and asked them to repl my brake cable barrels in order to adjust my brakes…read morebecause they were stripp out. instead of replacing the barrels like I asked them to, they adjusted my brakes and put a on the front. They $65 a month later the barrels lost grip and now I still have to get new barrels put on the brake lines. I'm done with Montgomery Cyclery and will take my business to Resor Bicycle in Newport on Monmouth Street and no longer worry about what I as and pay for!!!
