The staff were limited in the shop but the pricer were reasonable. The staff were helpful in a limited way. Only one knew what she was talking about and the other was shouting at her from across the store with customers around. I found this to be a bit unprofessional but kept my lips tight so as not to mutter anything at them.

They brew coffee and build good bikes. They cater to mummies and pushchairs, tourists and hardcore cyclists looking for a caffeine fix. They are not cheap, but they are inexpensive. There is a subtle difference, and one which is worth the extra few pennies. If you are looking for an eclectic cafe with good music, excellent food and outstanding coffee look no further. They even have regular rideouts and a loyalty card scheme. Bonus!
