Some offerings have a bicycle-related theme, including a smoothie called “Chainbreaker,” another called “Wheelie Healthy,” and a Belgian ale called “Fat Tire.”
The 1,000-square-foot café has views to the bike shop and an outdoor seating area that doubles the café’s seating to nearly 100.
The Morris couple completed much of the renovation work on the building, a former rag warehouse. It took three years to get it ready, they report.
The café is open until 9 p.m. daily, except 5 p.m. on Sunday’s, Sara Morris says.
