One of the best places in Bellingham! Both the coffee and the service is top-notch. The bike mechanic is knowledgeable, honest, and fairly-priced. It reminds me of some cafes in Amsterdam, I love bringing friends and family from out of town here!Pro tip: they put a bit of gingerbread flavor in their chocolate chip cookies, which has changed my life for the better.

A favorite spot in Bellingham to grab a coffee. The owners are very friendly, and always make a great drink. They have amazing sandwiches and paninis as well. Great outdoor patio seating.

I loved the Alpe dHuez sandwich with salad. The tapenade really takes this salami/ham/cheese sandwich to a different level. Also Kim as always provided excellent service. My son enjoyed looking at all the bicycles.

Stop reading reviews and just go already! This place is exceptional in every way. They have done a remarkable job of curating high quality coffee, food and bike accessories. On top of that the service is always warm and authentic.

Incredible food, wonderful coffee, and a delightful atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly

This is my all time favorite cafe in Bellingham! Every time I go i feel at home from the wonderful owners! Not to mention consistently AMAZING coffee and food. I love supporting this local small business!!

Our favorite Coffee shop in town! Great outdoor patio to enjoy the weather with quality coffee, lunch, or Beer!

Andrew is great for quick bike repairs. I was very pleased with quick turnaround on bike tune/clean. 13 year old Trek Bike looks and shifts like new. Very reasonable compared to other bike shops.

Great sandwiches, chips and drinks! Beer on tap. Outside dining is great. Great customer service and friendly staff.

Just the coolest little bike + coffee shop! Theyre always doing fun community supportive events, theyre always friendly, and the food is solid, nutritious and fresh. What a gem!

We just stopped by to hear a little music, had a couple of beverages and dessert, absolutely delightful! 10 stars!

Stop no where else but here for an iced chai on a hot day, or a warm chai on a cold day :-)

Andrew in the bike shop is highly knowledgeable and helpful. The espresso is delicious, as are the sandwiches. Only a few beers on-tap, but theyre excellent.

Cafe Velo may not be the most popular cafe in the Bellingham area, but they certainly have some of the best tasting coffee Ive ever had. Their Americanos are the best Ive ever had and theyre staff is more than welcoming. If youre looking for a low-key spot to get a cup of coffee stop by Cafe Velo, i cant recommend them enough.

Coffee and a bike shop with a excellent patio to sit and enjoy your coffee.

Had some trouble with my headset so I dropped by and they had me rolling smooth in a matter of minutes. I could have stayed longer to admire the vintage bicycles that decorate the walls. What a special place! Good store ran by good people. Cant wait to come back to try the food!

Really enjoyed the ham and gruyere hot pressed sandwich here. Nice little beer selection.

They have good food, great coffee, and wonderful service.

This place. They have amazing coffee & a great outdoor seating area-- also, they fix bikes! This was the perfect place to start my morning the other day before work. But I look forward to cycling down and stopping in with my sweetheart as part of a downtown date, or maybe as a first stop on a ride out to Lummi Island or Hovander Park, very cool!

Incredible café and bicycle repair shop! Well made coffee drinks with space to either sit outside or inside watching live cycling stage races. Loved the vibe!

Coffee was ok. Charged extra for non dairy milk. 😟

Great spot. Excellent mechanic

We love this place so much! Its such a great place for a coffee, a pastry or a lunch. We are in love with the lunch offerings and enjoy eating while seeing bikes being tinkered with or bike lovers coming or going. We dig the owners and their belief in the use of bikes as transportation. And we all have our favorites when it comes to meals there!

This place is awesome! The owners are sweet, the coffee and food is wonderful and the community cant be beat. I highly recommend checking them out!

Top notch. Great food, coffee, and bike service.

They got my bike on the road the same day I brought it in. My bike needed some love and thats what it got! Very friendly people. Will definitely return and recommend. Very fair prices!

Amazing little coffee shop run by a great couple. And they fix your bike, too if needed.

Great place. Great people. Great service. Glad Cafe Velo exists. I come by at lunch and get my bike serviced while I eat. They have delicious sandwiches, salads and coffee, in addition to quality beer on tap. They always give honest advice on the bike. I used to drop my bike off at bike shops and wait a day or two but at Cafe Velo I can get my bike serviced while I eat lunch. Well done, guys!

Great food and excellent bike 🚲 service.Edit: I just have to add more even though I am not particularly verbose. I would rate them a 10 of of 5 is I could. They go above and beyond what they need to do and they make you feel welcome as they do so.

Perfect spot for morning coffee and pastries!

Great place to get a carefully crafted coffee and pick up a locally made pastry. The owners are very friendly and did a great job repairing my bike, and even hold on to it for a while after it was done while I was out of town. Their sandwiches look great too.

Nice little outdoor seating, great sandwiches. GF options.

Quality customer service and reasonable pricing; far more than AOK all around.

Friendly staff. Ive come in at three important junctures where my bike was checked and fixed up, and its like the opposite of a car repair place where they charge you just to look at things. They were helpful to this student on a budget. Also fine espresso! It comes with that sparkling water so you know theyre serious.

Great place to catch a bike race while enjoying a beer, espresso, and Panini.Following multiple visits Ive decided that Kim (and her disciples) pulls the best espresso shots around. If I leave my beaten path for coffee, this is the place.

Absolutely fabulous place!! One of my favorite destinations in town. Delicious coffee and food, great beer selection, awesome community hub, totally trustworthy and affordable bike work, plus Kim and Andrew are simply spectacular people. It brightens my day every time I go to Cafe Velo.

Really friendly, great coffee and bike servicing

Great local shop to stop in, grab a cup of your fav, a bite to eat (vegan options!), and get to know the bicyclists in town. The owners are amazing people!

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff! I asked a bunch of questions about divots in my wheels and they answered all of them. They even offered repair advice and told me the cost of buying new wheels over repairing my current wheels. Definitely coming back here for any bike inquiries!

Super friendly, good prices, great food. They also do bike servicing!

Best coffee in town, great atmosphere and good snacks, lunches...beer and wine too. Andrew and Kim are very friendly and helpful. Lots of good bike talk and good background music.

Best coffee!!! -and believe me, I have high expectations! mug shots and Avellinos have ruined every other local coffee joint for me because theyre so damn good too! Loved the combo of bike, beers and amazing coffee. Kids loved the ginger molasses cookies too. Weve discovered a new favorite today!

I always take my bikes here if I can help it, as the work and prices are very honest. Great coffee and place to hang out as well :)

Last Saturday was my first visit to Cafe Velo. It was a surprisingly neat and unique cafe. Although I’m not a bike enthusiast, the great food and coffee at Cafe Velo just match my taste buds. We ordered Madone grilled sandwiches and latte. The sandwiches were evenly grilled, and the coffee was so rich. Love the food. I’ll come back for sure.

Mellow atmosphere. Good coffee with some tasty, unusual alternatives such as tumeric lattes. Large, fresh, flavorful salads. Velo is part bike shop, so the larger room is shared with bikes in the process of being repaired. Theres a TV in the main room that often has sports on, but it isnt loud.

Great coffee. Had the latte and a macchiato--both were excellent. My friend had the brioche, which she said was quite tasty. The gluten free muffin was delicious. They also have a great outdoor patio space where our pups can lay down. This is my new favorite coffee place in Bellingham.

Mmm, delicious superfood latte, really great atmosphere, such nice people. Love!

Not in love with it. But I value what theyre doing. Decent food and service, but nothing wowd me.

This is a very quaint little coffee shop which has good coffee and from their order board does offer other varieties of beverages. I had some time to kill before an appointment next door so enjoyed a cup of mocha at one of the tables outside.

Just watched CX champs here and had a blast. Cannot wait to visit again. I love supporting places that show bike racing.

Allows my puppy to come in and the coffee is great. If youre interested in bicycles, this is the cafe for you.Edit: Dogs are no longer allowed inside but they have a comfortable patio seating area.

Great coffee, nice snacks, very cozy place. And if you like to watch bicycle racing, they almost always have a race on the big screen.

Good coffee and sandwich. Nice atmosphere and friendly staffs. We visited Bellingham downtown yesterday and discovered this hidden gem. I cant say more about them. Cheers!

Cozy spot, great coffee, rad people. The best place to watch the Spring Classics (or any other bike race)!

This concept is awesome and Cafe Velo kills it. I had a great coffee and talked for half an hour with complete strangers about bikes and the local rides. DOPE

Talented bike mechanic and barista. Baked treats from Icing on the Cake. Salad, sandwiches and beer!

Good vibes, stellar coffee, tasty eats. Well worth stopping through if you’re in the neighborhood.

Kim and Andrew are wonderful people. Ive organized the Bellingham Tweed Ride out of their shop and my wife goes there regularly for meetups and bicycle advice. Nice clean place with a variety of pastries, coffee, beer.

Good food for a good price. Service was lovely and they answered all my questions.

Havent gotten my bike fixed there but the coffee was good and staff was nice

Stumbled upon this place when I was in town for business loved it! A great stopover for anyone looking for a good coffee in a friendly environment, especially if you like bikes

Great customer service! Thank you guys. Really wonderful atmosphere

Good coffee, beer, sandwiches and always a race on the screen. Plus helpful, friendly service.

Super friendly and cozy local bike stop where you can also eat and drink to your hearts content. Awesome staff and excellent decor, solid menu and drink options as well.

Honestly, this was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The service was amazing, and I cant wait to come back.

Yes indeed - great spot for a meal, cold beer or hot coffee, get your bike fixed or have a bike built up...and great service! way to go café velo :)

Love this place...friendly peeps...Kim and Andrew are down to earth. Yummy sams, tasty pastries, bold caffinated coffee. A great place for a post ride snack or lunch.

Always the best.

Really happy I decided to check this Café out. Friendly service, and awesome atmosphere.

Was not there too long. Stop and had a cafe latte. Was very good.

Good food, good bike mechanic, what else do you need?

So glad this place is in my neighborhood. Great place for a weekly meet up with girlfriends for a glass of wine and a snack.

Top notch coffee, beer, and bike service. Great atmosphere, combining a classic european cycling vibe with clean, modern touches and nice lighting.

Cool atmosphere, fantastic bike service. Recommended.

Best bike shop in town

Fun place, extraordinarily gracious people.

Food, staff, and atmosphere are all exactly what youd hope for in a cafe!

Always great! Good food, excellent coffee and warm, hard working, owners.

One of my new favorites. Very impressed with the service- fair prices, speedy, andaccomodating. Their menu is great, a wide and fresh selection, everything looked good but I went with the hummus plate to share, as I wasnt very hungry. Hummus, tapenade, goat cheese, greens and crackers (they have gf crackers/bread upon request). Paired with a bitburger pilsner, it was a light but satisfying start to the day. They have vegan and vegetarian options and outdoor seating.

What a beautiful surprise stumbling on this spot downtown! Perfect experience

Simple delicious fare, comfortable atmosphere, flawless service

Cafe Velo are brand new in town and its exactly what Bellingham needed! I mean cmon, you can get fresh coffee, local brew out of a tap and in the seating area theres a bike repair shop. Soo Bellingham and so awesome. Very friendly people. Check out Cafe Velo!

Yummy snacks, great beer on tap, awesome service.

Cozy atmosphere and super helpful bike service

Great food, friendly staff, and very good hard cider

A thoroughly charming coffee shop.
