Situated on an Eco farm, Caffe Velo Verde is a place with a difference. Based on our mutual passion for cycling and food, we run our place with equal emphasis on quality coffee, food and the atmosphere in which you enjoy them.
We are the first (and only) Geraint Thomas Cycling Club approved Cycling Café. We are also recommended cycle café by the National cycling club, Fat Lad at the Back; runners up in Cycle Café of the Year 2020; and were in the top 10% of restaurants in the world who received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2020.
We are open Wednesday to Sunday 9am-4pm (Kitchen closes at 3pm)
Closed on Monday and Tuesday
- Our Coffee -
We take painstaking care over the coffee we serve, and as a result each cup is outstanding (even if we say so ourselves). Our single origin beans mean you get coffee in its purest form, and we guarantee you will notice the difference.
Whether you are simply after someone else doing the cooking or seeking respite during a country walk, gruelling ride (or anywhere in between) we are at your service. Come on your bike or park your car outside – it’s a judgement free zone.
We have specifically designed our space with the varied needs of our customers in mind… with safe space for large groups, families and solo diners (you lucky s*ds). If it doesn’t look like we have what you need, ask us, we reckon we can figure something out.
- Our Food -
Cobs, baps, breadcakes or rolls, whatever you like to call them we don’t mind, we are happy to fill them with sausage, bacon or both for you to enjoy. And if you have a penchant for clean eating (hats off) we also have a number of menu options especially for you.
With our high quality coffee, food and excellent chat (jury is out on that last one!) we have become a popular haunt for locals, cyclists from far and wide and those in the mood for a cuppa.
- Our Facilities -
To cater for your needs we have the following;
- Extensive bike parking with bike locks free to borrow for the duration of your stay should you require one for peace of mind.
- A charging point for devices with numerous plug options.
- Inner tubes and a toolbox with a few items that should help you resolve whatever technical problem you are having and enable you to get home safely.
- A cleat cleaning station to make sure there are no issues with those bike shoes once you leave us.
- Energy gels, sachets, chews and bars to make sure you don’t get low during your onward journey.
- You are able to refill your own bidons with drinking water from one of our 2 outside taps.
- We have a number of large tables which can be configured to seat a large number of cycle groups. Please let us know if you are bringing a large number of riders.
