Discovering the Bike Shop Cafe was a delightful discovery. My favourite soup is French onion soup that is offered Friday. The pulled pork sandwich is phenomenal. The food is made to order and the coffee is amazing. I would highly recommend giving this charming cafe a shot as you will not be disappointed.

I come here several times a week and usually order the same thing. Love their breakfast club house; fast, friendly service as well and a lot of unique & local offerings like kombucha on tap and locally made sodas.
