I would give 6 stars if I could. This place is excellent, top of the line, I will not go anywhere else. If you'd like a lengthy review on why I'm a life long customer and supporter of the Denver Bicycle Cafe, read on...
About a year ago I was hit by a car while cycling home from work. In a bike lane and had a green light, but for some crazy reason, the driver's insurance wouldn't cover the cost of the expenses, which totaled over 600 bucks (carbon frame fork). Peter at the bike cafe was so gracious and let me work out a deal to make monthly payments on that bike. My job and finances were not in the best place after the accident and there were months that I would end up paying little or nothing. Still, the guys at the Bike Cafe held on to my bike safe and sound until I got it completely paid off. I've been around other bike shops where they would just sell it if they weren't getting the bill paid off. But these guys kept it and gave me the benefit of the doubt when many others would have done something differently. I have since paid the bike in full and left the shop owner with a big sincere thank you (plus a tip). On the months I was able to make payments I'd take my girlfriend to the shop and we'd grab a beer/coffee/chai and a muffin and grab a game and hang out in the cafe. It's a great place to be. The food is great. It's my favorite chai tea that I've found in Denver. It's become a regular spot, and one of, if not my favorite spots in Denver.
Additionally, I used to go with the guys on group rides from the shop. All the guys there are seriously cool and down to earth. I had my bike fixed up with them exclusively since I've been to Denver, even before the accident. Great work, great attitudes, good prices, good beer, lovely atmosphere. I can't say enough good about this place. I even had a mix up when I had my bike tuned where I asked for specific gear, which it turns out they didn't have. They offered to help compensate me, but I didn't take it. They do good work and are honest. They pay it forward. Just.. so seriously... SO awesome. LOVE the Denver Bicycle Cafe. Love it, love it, love it!
Do yourself a favor, and hit up this bike cafe. You won't regret it!!!
