“ Perfect place for a chilly Saturday morning in autumn. Place was busy but not hectic, music playlist was perfect for the moment. Had a Columbian pour over and brown sugar latte, waffle and egg bacon biscuit. Brown sugar latte was not overly sweet, great texture on the milk. Columbian pour over was enjoyable and interesting, ordered off of baristas recommendation. Small waffle was great with coffee! Egg and bacon English muffin was simple but enjoyable, the english muffin was the right kind of fluffy. Bathroom has nice toilet paper and nice soap (silly detail...but shows the attention to details!) Overall: great coffee shop experience with good coffee, good environment, doesn't feel like its being run by angsty teenagers trying to prove something. ”
“ Amazing coffee! Truly the best in town! Not to mention how amazing their sweet treats are as well! They craft their coffee with quality in mind. Go taste their passion and creative approach to having a coffee shop ”
“ Great coffee. You won't be disappointed! Company started a number of years back with the owner delivering his coffee via bike. Cool to hear the story and see how that developed into the shop they have now. Attractive, relaxing space! ”
“ I order single source beans from many different roasteries to make coffee every day for myself and my coworkers. We were all impressed with Velodrome's quality. The owners really care about producing a premium product in every aspect and being able to share that with customers. You can always trust the coffee to be precisely roasted, properly sourced, and delivered fresh. The process is smooth and refreshingly modern as well. Heck even the instant coffee tastes good, which is hard to find. It could really upgrade a backpacking trip! ”
“ I had their seasonal lavender drink and it was delicious! Not too much lavender but you could taste it well. The barista was very kind and accommodating as I wanted a bit less expresso than what they usually make that drink with. They have lots of plants inside and plenty of room! Highly recommend! ”
“ This place is a great little study spot; pretty quiet & lots of seating. The (seasonal) Fruity Pebble latte was surprisingly good and not too sweet! BF had the coconut latte and enjoyed it as well. I'm not super into "modern" decor but this place balances it well with the wood tables. It is also a little pricey; good as a treat! ”
“ Great place for coffee! I had a honey latte and it was excellent. The 2 girls working were nice and personable; they chatted with us while we waited for our drinks. My boyfriend bought a really cool bike ballcap from this place too. Awesome chance here to support a local shop ”
“ Top 3 cup of coffee I’ve ever had. The Ten Speed, Colombian beans blew me away. Best coffee from Colombia I have ever had. Hard to find a coffee shop that does pour over this well. Very friendly and overall unforgettable experience. ”
