I love finding a good local bike shop with people excited about bikes! I took my bike, Betty, in for a tune up—they gave her the works at a fair price and really made her run smoothly! I appreciate the service and can’t wait for the new location to open up.
Super grateful for this spot - was looking for a Pas Normal gilet for months since theyre in short supply, and these guys were able to stock one and get it to me in Chicago super fast. Thought it was too good to be true. Amazing service!
Yesterday I came into your store to potentially purchase a pair of new tires. One of your employees asked me if I needed any help. I definitely did need help but, I was hesitant as other bike shops I have been to have been quite pretentious and less than welcoming to novice riders. However, this wasnt even close to the experience I had! Your employee was extremely helpful and had first-hand knowledge of almost every tire. He was able to tell me the pros and cons and helped guide me through the features that were more important than others. I live on the edge of the suburbs and explained the type of riding I do. Your employee understood exactly the type of riding I was doing and didnt have any of the pretentious Im from the city attitude towards me.I ended up buying two tires, a spare tube, and tire sealant. I could get all of these items for a few dollars cheaper online. However, because of the great customer service and that you keep stock in store, I will definitely be back! I live less than 5 miles from 3 bike shops but, I will drive an extra 20 miles to visit your store!
What a great shop! Hands down my favorite to visit as everyone is super helpful. They always have really great items from smaller brands and will work with you to find your perfect ride. All the staff are knowledgeable and happy to share their expertise in a friendly way. I always look forward to stopping in here and have been super happy with my Salsa.
They may be a good local shop, but poor service with online sales. I purchased a bike through their website that showed in stock, received a confirmation, and paid for. The sale was voided the next morning. I called to confirm the sale and the salesman told me they voided my sale so they could sell to a “local” customer that looked at the bike that morning, after the bike was sold to me. Basically, they sold my bike to someone else. If you don’t want to do online sales, I get it, but take that option off your website. I have been trying to find this particular bike for a month and when I finally found one available, it was snatched away by shady online business practices. I asked for a resolution and he tried to say the other customer had put a deposit on the bike, which if IS true (highly unlikely), it should have been removed from the website. He offered no resolution or sincere apology.
I bought a Surly Straggler online and picked it up while passing through Minneapolis. I received prompt service and the bike was well-assembled and accurately tuned, something I find frustratingly rare with shop service.The place also had a cool, friendly vibe. Too bad I’m from out of town: I think it would make a great place to do regular business with.
I purchased a Surly Straggler online from Angry Catfish Bicycle and Coffee Bar. There was a shipping snafu in which the front wheel quick release axle either fell out of the main package or wasnt included in the first place. I called and was greeted with knowledgeable and helpful service reps, who put a replacement set of qr axles in the mail to me. While I would suggest getting to know your local bike shop first, if that isnt an option, then please give Angry Catfish Bicycle and Coffee Bar a try.
The best service dept Ive ever dealt with. Communicative, thorough, and friendly. They went above and beyond what I expected today and ensured I will continue to support this shop even though there are several locally owned shops closer to me. Sales floor is always stocked with nice product and sales staff know their stuff. Fully recommended.
I had a first rate experience with Angry Catfish. Ive bought from several bike shops in the area. This group really is the top of the list now. Super responsive to emails during COVID. They happened to have one of the only remaining Fat Bikes around at this time of year. Arranged time to come in and look. Loved the Salsa Mukluk right away. A quick spin and I was sold. Arranged to come back in two hours and the deal was done. Super fast and efficient and very COVID friendly. Thanks to Josh, Andrew and all the rest of the team. I got her dirty the first afternoon!
I recently demoed a very nice Moots gravel bike. The staff had it ready and were super helpful getting all the measurements dialed. I will definitely be back when I am in the area.
Ordered here for the first time about two months ago after I saw they had the items I wanted in stock. The experience was great. Items were shipped quickly, packed well, and were as described. Communication about the order was good, though I had no issues with it. Definitely would order from them in the future.
If I would’ve invested all the money I have spent at this place, in bitcoin… man… for my own mental health, I can’t think about that. One of my top three favorite coffee shops and espresso pulls in the Twin Cities.
Was a little skeptical about buying a bike online from a shop Id never been to before (living in Seattle,) but a friend had recommended this shop to me. Communication was clear, bike arrived super quick, was easily assembled, and got an awesome handwritten note in the package! My overall experience was fantastic and my new Space Horse is so smooth. If youve been trying to buy a bike locally for the last year and havent had any luck finding one, dont hesitate on purchasing from these people at Angry Catfish. Would for sure purchase from them again
Prompt shipping and smooth transaction! I’ll definitely order parts from Angry Catfish again!
Ok. Staff not so friendly. No one asked if I needed help. Wanted to buy a Allied bike frame but could not get help.
Just moved to the city and stopped in to check out the shop. Incredibly nice people and love the products they sell. Looking forward to spending lots of money there!
“Fancy Latte”Came here to pick up drinks to meet a friend, on their recommendation, and needed them to travel. No scoffs at the request for double cups, and they were happy to answer my questions.They gave great recommendations, and the attention to detail in the drink making was extremely impressive. Sorry the visit was short this time. I plan to drive the 20 minutes again to get the full experience!Had the “fancy latte” (vanilla and cardamom I believe!?), and it was delicious.
Placed an order online and it was shipped quickly and arrived earlier than I expected. Awesome customer service. I will definitely be doing business there in the future for sure. Would love to take a trip to the area and stop into the bike and coffee shop. Highly recommended.
Top notch bike shop and coffeehouse. I have gone to Angry Catfish for a variety of biking needs, including bike service, getting panniers for my commuter bike and just for quality bike advice and always got quality service and spoke with people who took the time to explain everything to me. Currently looking at adding another bike to my collection and with my past experiences being so positive, this was the natural place to look to first. In addition to being a great bike shop they also a great coffeehouse. I have had several items from their menu and has always been excellent. A great coffeehouse and bike shop in one. A cyclists heaven!
I was in a tough situation this chilly morning and needed to install a tire in order to get home. Andrew let me borrow some tire levers so I could try and fix it myself. When it was clear that I could not do it myself, the mechanic inside finished the job and only charged me labor for one of the tires. Thank you to Andrew and the mechanic today for helping me out in a tough spot.
Broke a pedal on my ride, they changed them out and set my tire pressure gratis. The pedals they recommended were great and at a great price.
I only went for the coffee, and it was damn tasty! I ordered the Americano which was a modest 3.75. It was incredibly tasty. It might be one of the only Americanos I could and would drink straight, no cream or sugar. Super good.Nice atmosphere, peaceful couches to sit on, and hood table space. I was worried about the noise of the bike repair nearby, but it was not an issue at all for me. Come check it out!
Awesome bike shop with friendly and helpful staff! A great place to grab unique bike gear you can’t find elsewhere!
Ive heard alot of good things about the Angry Catfish Bicycle Shop, but it was always hard for me to justify the 40 mile trip from my home - but not anymore! The salespeople(?) I spoke to both on the phone, and in person were very knowledgeable and very patient. I look forward my next trip to the Shop.
Purchased a new mountain bike from the shop (2021 Transition Spur) and received excellent service, a fantastic bike and friendly and quick to respond staff. Would recommend this shop highly to anyone.
Love this local bike shop for all my mountain biking goodies and family bike repair/maintenance projects. Thanks crew!
Great service- Thank you!
Brought my mountain bike in for service. The inspection, estimate, and service was done very quickly and it was easy to communicate with the shop via text messaging. Excellent, helpful staff and the pricing was reasonable considering the amount of work that needed to be done.10/10 recommend Angry Catfish and I cannot wait until they open their coffee bar so I can visit again (its closed because of COVID right now).
Ordered a bike online from Angry Catfish. They were very responsive on answering any questions during the purchase process. They were able to get the bike packaged and shipped within 4 business hours so that I could receive it before going on a trip later that week. The bike arrived very securely packaged and was setup to go after putting on the bars and front wheel. All of the bolts were tight and the brakes/derailleur were dialed in. Overall a very good experience!
I went to get a cassette installed from my bike to my trainer. I had seen that my exact cassette was out of stock nation wide. They were incredibly helpful, they were able to find an equivalent (and cheaper) cassette so I didn’t have to remove the one on my bike. They also checked to make sure that my bike was going to connect well to the trainer. Highly recommend angry catfish. They went above and beyond to help me out.
I bought a derailleur from Angry Catfish when they were just about the only place on the internet that could source the particular part I wanted. I had some doubts about the part when it came, but Eric was patient with me and walked me through verifying it was correct. Now that I have it on and dialed I am very happy with their help.
Ordered a Revelate spinelock from angry catfish. The person I spoke with was knowledgeable on the pack, and it was mailed quickly and well packaged. A very good experience!
My mail order was processed quickly and delivered promptly. The shop has access to an incredible array of useful parts and accessories.
Amazing place. They didnt have anything in stock in my size but answered my questions for 20+ minutes.
Had an excellent time finding a bike to fit my short stature! Bike was in stock, which was amazing. They added fenders and bottle racks with no problem.Covid precautions were great. Everything was outside and masked.
Great bikes, fantastic service.
They wont let customers inside...we were standing outside in the light rain as they came to us one by one. There really is no scientific basis for this decision as long as everyone is wearing a mask and there arent too many people inside.The coffee shop was closed...so much for the Coffee Bar side of it.When someone did come out and asked me what I wanted, I tried explaining the product Im looking for to which the staff said I have no idea what youre talking about. Well yeah, thats why I came to a bike store, thinking I could find it on the shelf and buy it myself. Silly me.
Great experience. I dont live in the Cities but I visited Angry Catfish a few years ago and loved it. They had a good price on a bike I wanted so I bought it and they shipped it to me promptly. Also had great service dealing with a recalled fork, which they handled very efficiently with excellent communication.
I’ve shopped for bikes here before but this was my first purchase at Angry Catfish. Truly exceptional experience. Very knowledgeable staff, but also really listen to what you’re looking for in a bike. After test riding a couple of bikes, we narrowed it to a near perfect bike at a decent price. When I called to confirm my purchase, Steve had tracked down an even better bike, tweaked just a bit for how I ride, at an even better price. All this in a safe shopping experience in the midst of covid. Wow. Great shop.
Catfish is great for its customers. We had an issue with the sizing for a bike and they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I am loving my new Ripmo AF!
10/10 would recommend for great and friendly bike service. My girlfriend has a vintage cruiser that needed a tube replaced in her rear tire and we walked in and were serviced within 10 minutes.
Best bike shop in the Midwest! Staff is amazing along with the owner! They have some of the coolest hard to find items in the industry. You always know whatever you guys is going to feel great on your bike. They treat you like family and are very knowledgeable about what to by for any adventure! Perfect place if your just starting to ride and need advice on what bike to get and clothing to wear and also great for experienced riders! I moved to the western suburbs and still ride over to them when I need items for cycling!
It was great to find the tires I needed in stock! Great service and fast shipping.
Great shop. Great folks
Needed a new set of pedals. A local search showed that Angry Catfish had them in stock. The online ordering process was easy and I received a confirmation for pickup right away.*One thing to mention, I/Angry Catfish should have discussed what I might want or need with these pedals.I realized after I installed them, Id be needing dry lube and a grease gun to keep them maintained. I ended up ordering those online - not from Amazon. That purchase was an additional $25. I would happily have purchased those items from AC.
Josh at Angry Catfish was amazing and provided a top notch bike buying experience. We first started communicating over email and he was extremely helpful and responsive. When it came time to buy the bike, he couldn’t have made the process any easier or more enjoyable, explaining the process clearly along the way and answering all of my questions. As a former bike mechanic, I could tell the bike was thoughtfully assembled. I highly recommend this shop.
These guys took great care of me! I called and had a bike in NYC in less than a week. I only had to slap on the bars and pedals. No scratches or dents. It was boxed perfectly. Josh on the phone was courteous and accommodating. Definitely looking forward to doing more business with Angry Catfish!
So unnecessarily pretentious, Im done supporting this place.
I bought a new Surly Disc Trucker from Angry Catfish Bicycles. The shipping was super quick (they packed my bike on a Sunday!) I received my bike in good condition. They also promptly replied to some email questions I had. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend.
Respectful, communicative staff, highest quality work and a great cup of coffee on the side. While youre there, stop by for a burger and beer next door at Busters - or grab a treat at Bakers Wife bakery.
Super cool and great service!
Great service from the bike shop guys!
Angry Catfish were responsive and really helpful when it came to choosing fenders for my bike. Ive heard great things about their shop and theyll be the first place I look when it comes time to buy my next bike.
Very friendly folks. Worked quicker than they needed to get me out on my bike on a beautiful day :) Happy snow day!
Amazing customer service and expertise. I highly recommend angry catfish.
These guys have great customer service! I tried to order a bike (in Montana) and they were unable to get a bike to me due to Covid supply chain strains, but a couple weeks after I got a bike locally I heard back from them saying they have the bike that I was looking for in stock. Unfortunately I found a replacement, but I was impressed with every interaction I had with them along the way
I ordered a new tire and it came just as described. Just a simple transaction.
Recently purchased a gravel bike at Angry Catfish in Minneapolis and the entire experience was great from beginning to end. Ive owned various mountain bikes, road bikes, and town bikes over the decades but this was my first gravel bike purchase. I had an idea of features that I wanted, but didnt know all the pros and cons since I hadnt ridden one before. My initial phone call to Angry Catfish was answered by a very pleasant and helpful salesperson who then had two bikes ready and waiting for me to test ride when I arrived at the shop later on. The salesperson had personal experience riding and even racing gravel bikes in the kind of conditions I was interested in and he answered all my questions and willingly shared his knowledgeable about different aspects of gravel bikes but without once being pushy or trying to make a sale. He was very kind and patient with me as I test rode bikes for about two hours to make sure I found the right one. They sold me the bike I chose at a fantastic price - one that could not even be beat anywhere online - and even threw in some extra schwag for free. Although we had to conduct all our business on the sidewalk outside the shop (because of COVID restrictions), I cant wait to go back once people are allowed inside and check out the other stuff they sell, including flyfishing gear (what a great combination!). Highly recommend Angry Catfish to any cyclists!
They had bike tires in the size and price range I wanted when no one else did.
Great service! Went for replacement tube + air canisters. Asked about helmet upgrade, they found a great quality one at a great price (no box). Especially during covid, theyre a great local bike shop!
Awesome customer service even on a Saturday combined with very quick shipping. Eric was super helpful, thanks!
Very helpful staff, test rode a few different bikes and got plenty of advice on them. Staff are sometimes a little too salesman-like, usually trying to convince you that you need the more expensive bike, but all things considered I still greatly prefer them to Eriks. Store primarily sells Salsa bikes, with some Pivot bikes there as well.
I found this place by accident and when I saw it I had to go in. Great idea and a very great environment inside. I was excited to try their latte, its my go to for new coffee places as its a classic staple and I spent years as a barista. It was very overpriced for what I ended up with. There was no real flavor to it and the milk was under steamed and frothed.Its completely possible that it was just a poor make, but when you spend $5 on a latte, you want it to taste like a $5 latte. I will go back to try again and will probably do just a black cup of coffee, but hard to recommend at this point.11/7/19 update: moving my review up a star as management was quick to get back to me on my review and send me some drink tokens to give them another shot. Great customer service follow up and looking forward to making my way back sooner than later!11/17/19 update: went back for my free replacement drink and what a wonderful cup of coffee. Was a very good latte and can now fully recommend this place (on the cafe side at least). Only thing the coffee was missing was some latte art, but that ultimately doesnt effect taste. I will be back!
Old Trek with Suntour XCE shifters. Needed new cables. After hours of research, found them at Angry Catfish, just down the road. CHEAP Price. Ordered them online, had them i a couple days. GREAT experience!
Very knowledgeable mechanics and sales staff. They were very easy to work with, honest about timelines, and very straight forward on pricing.
Ordered a bag online from these folks. Shipped insanely fast, packaged thoughtfully. Very impressed by the service from this small business, especially with how tough things are for bike shops right now. Thanks!
Great people. Great products. Great service. Preferred shop of avid riders, and people in the know.
I love this shop! Excellent at what they do and an awesome selection of all the fancy-pants bikes and components one could ask for! Reward program that is quite cool too. Check them out!
Great selection of Surly bikes. Great sales folks and mechanics with expert knowledge!
Went in with a flat and now it rides not smooth like it did yesterday. Its a brand new bike and now its sluggish. My trust in people is shot apparently. Wont ever go back
LOVE! THIS! PLACE!The staff are always so helpful whenever I have a question about the coffee or teas on the menu. Havent spent a lot of time in the bike part of the shop, but I can say without a doubt that this is my number one go-to coffee spot. I would rather end my dull and miserable life than go to any other coffee shop in Minneapolis, MN.
Every level from beginner to expert will enjoy this place. Full repair service and good options to buy. These guys really know their stuff. And during the Virus they were still going the extra mile for people.
Had a wheel lacing done by their bike shop. Top notch work.
I went here in search of my first nice bike. They helped me through the entire process, let me ride anything I wanted, and showed me the benefits and differences of all of their different models and brands at a variety of price points.Every single person I spoke with and worked with was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. After a couple visits I ended up picking out my dream bike. I will definitely be back for service and any other needs.I have yet to try the coffee but I hear its great!Highly - highly - recommended.
Stopped here to pick up a multitool and was impressed with their efficiency and Covid measures. Great local bike shop that was recommended by a friend.
I recently had my Ibis Ripley in for a complete service at Angry Catfish after two pretty hard years of riding. I bought it online so I hadnt built a relationship with a local bike shop to service the bike. A friend mentioned Angry Catfish to me so I gave it a shot. From when I first walked in the door they were stoked to work on the bike. They didnt care where I bought it from and just wanted to help me out. I told them to bring it back to like-new condition and quiet as possible so they went to work! The bike spent just about two months there and when I got it back it was perfect. Their attention to detail is what was so cool. They even optimized my cable management just because. I also blew a seal in my dropper post that was out of warranty and they went to war for me. They sent it to KS and got it covered under warranty at no cost to me. Im sure they cant always pull this off but they sure will try. If youre looking for a place to service your bike and are wondering if a professional mechanic is better than the bike shop in your basement...well... yes it is and its not even close!
Best coffee place, ever!!! Love to stop by for a cup of coffee after my morning run or between appointments during the week. Staff is always pleasant and welcoming
Great coffee and baked goods. Amazing and beautiful bicycles,good clothing options switched out seasonally.Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Fair pricing on repairs and parts too. Thomas the mechanic has helped work his magic numerous times over the years on my bikes, always honest and straightforward with what is or is not needed. Very nice place to grab a coffee or service any bicycle related needs, or to purchase a new toy. I would reccomend to anyone.
I love this place. Coffee and great bike brands.....I couldnt ask for more. Between One on One and this place, we have the best shops in the world!!
Great products and greatservice
Ive never used the bike shop at all but their Coffee shop is hands down the best in the twin cities!! My go to is the maple cardamom latte, I would highly suggest you try it if you havent already!! This is my and my girlfriends favorite place to get coffee!! Great coffee, great service, and a really cool atmosphere!!
I do like this place and think it serves probably the highest level of quality bikes and parts for the Twin Cities. That being said, as someone who didnt grow up with parents who biked and has been only seriously biking for 5-6 years, I still havent felt comfortable in the shop after my 4 or 5 visits. I make 45 grand a year, dont get any pro deals, and Ive always gotten the feeling that if youre not ready to drop an easy 2 grand on a bike, its not the place for you. Definitely an elitist vibe, but it is fun to gawk to bikes and gear I cant afford.
Awesome coffee and bike shop. Super friendly and knowledgeable, great atmosphere and quality products. Highly recommend. Very happy with my most recent purchase, a salsa woodsmoke! Unbelievable price on it and set up perfectly! Ive shopped dozens of bike shops and this one is a favorite, they know their stuff.
I love this place for many reasons. The coffee and espresso is consistently delicious. AND they have loyalty cards-which is not very common in the Twin Cities (that Ive found at least). Also, they serve some bakery from the Bakers Wife (which is a cash only establishment), so when you want a delicious cookie-but dont have cash-you can go to Angry Catfish and grab a delicious coffee AND cookie! Plus they feature a variety of beautiful bikes and some local merchandise.
I’ve loved this coffee/bike shop for years now! Best drinks in town! My 11 year old and I like to do an eight mile loop bicycle ride where Angry Catfish is our halfway mark. We get Donuts from Bakers Wife next door and drinks from the Catfish. The current staff of Baristas are always friendly even if it’s very busy. If I’m wandering the sales floor waiting for my drink, every one working the bike side of things are also friendly and ask if I need assistance. Y’all can keep my free coffee or just surprise a random person with a free one. I’m very happy to give my money to a very rad local business! Y’all deserve it!
These guys were really helpful. Very informative and not condescending at all. There was a slight snafu when I came to pick up the new bike. However, they more than made it right. They went above and beyond really.Yep, its an Indy bike shop in Mels so there are hipsters galore. But, pretty much every hipster I have ever met has been genuinely nice. Dont let that stop you from coming in. They are nice. The coffee is excellent t too.
Product arrived in just a few days in good condition & at a good price.
Really good coffee in a neighborhood that has few options for coffee. Quirky atmosphere with the bike shop in the back. Plenty of space to sit and work if the smell of bike tires doesnt put you off. Consistently friendly service.
Love this place!!! Two of my favorite things ❤️ The shop is full of great items to purchase, all great quality! The staff is super friendly. And the coffee, the coffee is fantastic! Overall... you need to come here and check the wonderful vibe for yourself!!!
Angry Catfish was like my second home when I lived in the neighborhood. The coffee is excellent (even according to my very very picky barista wife). They usually get a sea salt mocha. I usually drink the cold brew (often too fast because it is so tasty). Their seasonal drinks are fun. Their pour overs are done with the precision of a chemist. The staff is always super kind and friendly (and so stylish might i add)(even the bike staff actually, just remembered they adjusted my handlebars for free when i took a spill and got them out of whack and my tool was too short for my stem.) They have punch cards which a thrifty guy like me LOVES. Cute dogs on the patio in the warm times. I wish I still lived in walking distance. I miss it so much.
Semi frequent customer for years editing an old 5 star review. In general I have had a good experience at ACF, otherwise this would be 1 star. Stood in line for roughly 5 minutes while the short guy in the pink stocking cap ignored me while making pour overs and doing other things behind the bar. 2-3 customers lined up behind me, I gave it a couple more minutes and was continued to be ignored. He then completely left the bar with a handful of customers waiting to place orders. This was on a moderately busy Sunday (busy but not crazy). I simply walked away without ordering and went to a different coffee shop. I will not return.
I was between buying a bike here and at the hub. I ended up getting the bike here. I felt like I was much more at home and treated a lot better. The guys at the shop were more than helpful to get me on bikes and answer all my questions. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get a bike. I ended up with a beautiful All City Macho Man to ride!
I’ve had great customer service on multiple occasions and I haven’t even been in the store! Dave V helped source a small that no one else had and shipped it right out. He then on another occasion, took care of one of my customers who flew into the area. We shipped her bike out to the store and he took care of getting her TT bike re assembled for her training camp she went to. 6 stars from me
Great place but be prepared to wait awhile for your delicious coffee or drink
