As a coffee shop this place is pretty nice. I recommend the hot chocolate and matcha. With the bike racks, it becomes especially nice for a cyclist. I am not in their target demographics with expensive bikes and kits, but the coffee shop aspect is still a nice experience for me. I don’t have much experience with the retail side, but have purchased tires and accessories from the shop that aren’t available in shops around vancouver and/or competitively priced. The only time I did ask for advice (about compatibility of a direct mount derailleur hanger with my bike), I was given confidently wrong advice, but it’s a really niche case, so I wouldn’t hold it against them too much.

I really liked the flavour of this coffee. Simple interior decor. A little too uncluttered for my taste in terms of cafes. I think the atmosphere just didn't quite invite me to linger to finish my coffee inside or to return unless I'm in the area. Nice staff. Washroom available.
