Soho Bikes

Wow, I have found my new bike shop.
I commute by bike every day, and I’m fine with doing some of my own maintenance. But when I needed a brake cable replaced the other day and was lacking decent cutters to accomplish it myself, I tried to take it to Evans, who told me it would be 3 days until they could get to it. These guys were close to my office, so I went to them instead.
Long story short: 2 hours, half the price of Evans, super nice guys, and excellent coffee to boot!
I will definitely be bringing them more of my bike business in the future — I’m interested to see how they handle more complex repairs and maintenance.

I’ve not tried the bike service, as I fear too much for my life in London to ever ride one outside the park. But I have been assured by the braver of my bike owning friends that for those cycling inclined can find top notch, friendly help and service here.
I have (unsurprisingly) tired the coffee — and rest assured, the rumors are true. It’s bloody good! There is only one small table to sit at in here, after all it’s not a coffee shop (that’s just an added perk). So I’d recommend anyone wanting to try this place out to be aware you’ll be getting it to go.

A great bike shop. Helpful, nice and highly experienced staff, good selection of gear… and lovely coffee.
Highly recommended.

If it weren’t for this shop, I think I may have gone crazy waiting for my laptop to be fixed. I had a number of hours to kill over three days and on the first day I had to wait for repairs I stumbled on this bike shop/​café.
I don’t cycle (yet) but I really love bike cafes. It must stem from my appreciation of using a space to it’s fullest potential. Why just be a bike store when you can also put a café in there! Needless to say this shop really has lots to offer beyond just the food, though that is my favourite part.
So far I’ve tried the croissants and pain au chocolat, two types of Luscombe juices, and a flat white. Originally I wanted an iced coffee but the barista said they only serve them hot though he proceeded to mention the cold juice they have in the fridge. The coffee was good, smooth and proper, but I started getting the juice mostly because it’s cold, delicious, organic, and comes in a large glass bottle. The pastries made for good afternoon snacks as well.
I can’t personally vouch for the bike related aspects though I did see lots of customers come in to either pick up their bike or bring it in. Either way I think this is a nice addition to Berwick Street and I’ve enjoyed waiting out my computer issues in the comfort of their café.
