    Fantastic atmosphere

    I had coffee and scones with my husband and daughter here. The coffee was beautiful and the scones were melt in your mouth. Great service and the place was calm and comfortable even though it was very busy. Will be back for lunch.

    Delicious brunch

    I had brunch here with my wife recently and we will definitely be returning. I'm a cyclist and it was pretty cool to go somewhere other than a bike shop where they share an appreciation of cycling. They have a very nice collection of memorabilia,...More

    Description
    Café Velo simply source the best quality available produce, then cook it to the highest standards. We’ve recently implemented the same principles in our hand roasted coffee. We sourced our Roaster from Probat in Germany. Probat are making roasting equipment since 1868, we’re looking forward to tapping into this vast history of coffee roasting here in Velo.
