CycleChatters' Cafe Recommendation Thread

[Algarvecycling]

If you ever visit the Algarve, Portugal for a cycling holiday, one of the best cycle cafes locally is in Alte, called Germano's.
A mix of café and workshop. Excellent. A must-stop place when we are training in that region.

The Drop Off Cafe at Edenfield on the Bury Rawtenstall border has advised theyre closed for the duration of the virus outbreak.

Welcome to the best cafe in the UK. This one is highly recommended.

A cycle buddy has come up with this BRILLIANT idea. We are all riding solo at present, most are doing at least 5/7 days. At a pre-arranged time, probably 4.00pm, we will all prepare our usual cafe stop food, beans on toast, tea cake, bacon roll etc. Then we are going to have a "video chat cafe stop" and shoot the breeze with a mix of the usual daft and serious stuff we discuss. This will be good.

Gibsons farm shop just outside Wingham between Canterbury and Dover. Massive for a farm shop, sells everything and all high quality. Great buthers, home made pies, quiche, scotch eggs etc. Huge range of cheeses, big alcohol section and a cafe with around a hundred indoor seats and outside seating too.

A proper gem in the middle of some excellent cycling country lanes.

This is a control stop on the yearly Man Of Kent Audax. Which was meant to have run last weekend.

If you haven't been there for a year or so it has doubled in size. Both the shop itself and the cafe.

It's top class. If you're on a leisurely ride I highly recommend.

The Potter's Barn in Ribchester reopens with a takeaway menu tomorrow. If you live in Lancashire please support this great cafe. There is a garden.

We will be there about 11.00!! 🍰☕

The little cafe on the ELR at Rawtenstall super, friendly and steam locomotives outside of the lockdown. Also love the one at Wycollar, delicious tatty pies and peas.

If you on Route 1 of the National Cycle Network and coming through Caithness then it’s Annie’s Bakery friendly, great views and good food.

Ord’s post has reminded me of a great cafe in Muir of Ord, memorably named The Bad Girl Bakery. Recommended

When / if you are out and about in the Lincolnshire wolds, I highly recommend visiting the lovely village of Tealby and the vintage tea room in the front street. Tealby Tea Rooms.
