My favourite cafe in London. The food is great but even better is that you can get your bike sorted out whilst you have a coffee and cake! The staff are great and the location is convenient. I never have any issues finding somewhere to sit either.

Had delicious butternut and gorgonzola pasta. Great coffee in a funky cycling environment. Feels quaint but accommodates many.

Lovely place, as someone who sat in to have a catchup with a colleague, I really appreciated the laptop policy (=you have to sit at these bar tables if you’re just on a laptop) because it was rather busy at 9am! The food was delicious too :)

This place has been on the bucket list for a good while, and with the way meetings have fallen today, it was the opportunity to pop in for a coffee, or what turned into lunch. Amazing cheeseburger with fries, the black pepper was a nice touch. Can't believe David was working here and we go back along way as he was working in the cycling cafe I used alot when I lived in Essex. Good to have a catch up with him, in what was a very busy lunch session. As you would expect live cycling is shown. Open until 2200 with licenced bar. You can lock your bike up outside on the street, or in the courtyard, recommended so you can keep an eye on it. Thank you to all the staff who are very friendly. Will return, soon.

I was here long time ago. Same vibes, fancy food and cozy deco and space. People and computers on the high table. Good energy from entrepreneurs, bikers and curious people. Nice spot after a walk across London museum and Barbican Center.

The nicest place I've been to in London.
Got hit by a bike puncture coming out of Farringdon station and was recommended to come here by a passing passenger. The staff here are lovely, the cafe is so much fun, and you could not wish for a better spot to start the day.
Fully recommend to any passer by!

Always a nice experience when stopping here, no matter if it’s for breakfast or dinner. The food is very yummy and the coffee is amazing. Ah, not to forget about the milkshakes - I love the strawberry banana one! Keep up the good work, guys!

I came by after my usual cafe closed and ended up there because despite the bad reviews of my friends around it is really close to my flat.
The waiter was not particularly friendly but I guess we all have bad days at work. The rooibos I ordered was served in a really small individual tea pot so after deux small cups it was done. Unlike a lot of cafes around there is only a big pot of granulated sugar, not really hygienic, I prefer not rely on my fellows not to put inside the spoon they may have put in their mouth already. Finally I ordered the "Mac and cheese tostie" because this can't be bad anywhere you go. I'm not a difficult person about food but this was awful. The bread is okay but the thing inside is barely eatable. It has an undefined taste and I preferred not to try guessing what it was in case it was outdated. Should have trusted my friends and gone home. Please avoid

My bike tire popped on the way home from work. Felt like chucking it into the canal. Luckily the staff were really helpful and it was happy hour! Very friendly and helpful bike maintenance people.

Great cafe and bike workshop in one space. Friendly staff and fantastic food. Very nice casual space with some outdoor area. Laptops only allowed on the window benches with power points, to stop tables getting monopolised. They play the big bike races live on a big screen! The only thing to improve for me is that the coffee is a little weak and (flat white) too much milk which is over frothed for my taste.

Fantastic sport for a coffee or a casual beer. The beans for the espresso and filter are rotated regularly and always delicious. We’re in here regularly to grab coffee and salmon bagels on a Saturday.
Really friendly staff, always ready to help you out with whatever you need.
Food is great and service is fast even at busiest times, recommend trying the custard tarts.
Nice community feel to the place, especially when the cycling is on the big screen.
For the proper die hard regular there’s even a range of LMNH merchandise

Look mum no hands! Is a lovely and lively cafe close to Old Street station. They have plenty of food and drink options so you will definitely find something to your liking.
Unique is the bike repair station inside the cafe, so you can get your bike fixed or checked whilst enjoying a hot brew.

Always passed by and curious about it.
Yesterday we had a Christmas Party. Well, staff friendly, food amazing - we had chicken sandwiches, meat and vege rolls, that have nothing to envy to the meat ones, even better! sausages, fries, Vietnamese salad and wine and cyders - and reasonably priced for the area. Looking forward to going there again! Orh and plus you can park your bike in their courtyard!!!

Cosy hipster bike shop, bar and restaurant. Serves beers, wine by the glass as well as pitchers of wine. Has plentiful burger options and snack options. Great to meet friends for drinks in teh evening or equally for remote workers to use their laptops during the day.

I was at this cafe yesterday between 5-6pm and was taken aback by the poor service and unusual attitude of the two male members of staff behind the counter.
Full review on tripadvisor, but in summary: two male staff members were very sarcastic and rude. Did not tell us beforehand that there was a limited menu available until we went to order, even though they had physically handed my partner the menu. Mocked me when I asked a question about an item on the menu.
Also very odd vibe overall in the cafe, with a couple snogging in the middle of the cafe for the whole hour we were there.
Overall: AVOID!

Don't you just love it when you stumble into a new gem of a venue in London? Great food, great coffee, great working space. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is the loud AF TV on in the background. For me it meant that I had to go outside to take phone calls or conference calls while I worked as it was on way too loud to be talk or hear over. Other than that, I love this place!

Had a puncture so went in to buy an inner tube. Nobody at workshop counter. Asked an employee to sell me an inner tube. Said they'd "have to get someone from the workshop" (to scan a barcode). No one came. A few mins later, asked again. A few mins later the same staff member begrudgingly went the the monumental effort of taking an inner tube off the shelf and scanning it.
£8 for an inner tube (no prices displayed)! Terrible service and an absolute rip-off. I can handle one of the two; not both at the same time. Needless to say, I laughed and walked out.
Went down the road to CycleLab instead. Excellent, really friendly service, would recommend.

Very disappointing, not sure what the hype is about. Coffee took 20 mins, turns out they forgot the order. Latte was basically like like warm milk. No coffee taste.
Chocolate beetroot cake was so dried it was inedible! Left the piece of cake untouched. There are plenty good cafes around. Never coming back.

Lovely and receptive staff, both on phone and in person.
Sofa area doesn't look as comfortable as it really is, laptops are restricted to specific parts to enable conversing and table sharing, which works a treat. You can charge you stuff here, lock up outside. You can smoke in a benched area, it's all very open and lovely. Soy milk is available on request. The decor is exciting, idea pondering and the workshop and store over looks all. The music is relaxing and tasteful, easily heard though there is no need to shout. You can have a private conversation in a busy room. It instantly feels like I've been coming here for years. There are various art pieces for sale on the walls, adding to it's credibility as a creative space. I will happily come here again, I'm sure I'd come out of my way to do so.

They get all the important things just right! The vegan full breakfast is one of the best in London; it's nice and hot and the ingredients are top quality, especially the banger! The atmosphere is really friendly and there are always places to sit.

Great café (top cakes/sandwiches/beers). Great bike place, too: helpful and friendly mechanics who most of the time will straight away take a quick look at (and fix) any minor problem you ride in there with (unlike Evans & Co who will often insist on three-weeks' notice and a formal booking before even gazing at your bike..)!
Support your local bike shop!
