Cyclist-friendly cafe with outdoor seating. No specific bike parking although there's plenty of spots to prop a bike outside.

Great stop off, good coffee and even have vegan cake options (2) also very comfortable parking the bike up as well away from the road, situated towards the back of the garden centre.

A haven for local cyclists - super friendly staff and great coffee. Not much outdoor space as it's in the centre of town, so be mindful of where you stack your bike(s) and don't block the path.
