    Cute cafe decorated with bicycles, but the food was just alright, though very pretty.

    Good food, great if you want the classic English breakfast! I had the spicy chicken burger and it was really good!

    This place is absolutely fantastic. I stumbled upon it by chance, when organising an event in the city centre and looking for a place to go after. We were welcomed warmly. The food was just amazing, while service is immaculate. We came via Groupon, but no doubt the food is worth full price. The deal included two dishes ( a main and a starter or dessert) up to you, amongst our group we all chose differently, but all the dishes were just superb. Atmosphere deserves its own praise - a lot of thought was put into the unusual bike-themed interior design. Can't wait to come back again!

    i'm a big fan of the handlebar!! the ambiance is so lovely - a really wonderful place for a brunch and place to gab with the gals. portions are very generous and i can always count on leaving feeling full. on the weekends there can be a lengthy queue for a table but it's worth it!! i would really recommend the "fava toast" - delicious and super filling

    Vegan Coconut pancakes

    Cute coffee shop connected to a bike repair store. Large seating area upstairs. Have a nice vegan coconut pancake and avocado toast. 2 dishes and 2 coffees were 25quid.

    So...this place has A BLOODY MARY MENU. That's right, it's not advertised but I attach photographic evidence that this Bicycle brunchery has a whole menu devoted to this lycopene laden, seasoned sign of the hangover gods' mercy. On another note, their brunch is awesome and their hanging cycle-centric decor is spot on. Hipstery, but not too much so. They'd let you in even if you left your windowpane glasses at home. Given that I am not keen on eating the flesh when I'm riding the wooziness wave of yester-night, I chose a herbivore's recovery meal - the Goodie Veggie. Definitely top 5 best vegetarian breakfasts I've had the pleasure of scarfing down. Poached egg, creamy mushrooms, feta, bright mixed beans, avocado, and soft plantain slices alongside a roasted tomato made for some positive reinforcement of the preceding night's bad behavior. Other tempting dishes: 2 poached eggs with confit duck and hollandaise or gravadlax and shallots with dill cream, and smashed avocado on toast with beetroot hummus and feta. Happy riding.....

    Sea bream at the handlebar and the cocktail with a kick!

    Good cocktails and nice food. We ordered a cocktail that sounded quite unique to the bar (forgot the name tho, only remember it's something fruity). When we got it, we noticed there were chilli in it, which actually went with the drink really really well! - gave it a nice kick! We were so addicted to it ended up ordering 2 more of the same thing! Slow roasted lamb was nicely cooked and very flavoursome. My friend's sea bream also tasted good - tho portion for the fish was on the small side. We had 2for1 on drinks and 30% discount on food which made up the sum total for 2 ppl just over £30. Overall it's good value with the discounts and decent food and nice atmosphere. Definitely worth going again. If without discount then I'd say food may be not within the cheapest range.

    Avocado toast

    Get the avocado toast!!! Or else you will watch other people get it and then crave it. There are a lot of tables, and it gets very busy around noon. There are old- and new-fashioned bikes hanging from the ceiling and it's on the first, not ground floor of the building.
