Cafe Velo in East Riding of Yorkshire

Bit dingy lighting, given that the cafe is deep back to front. The teacake was delicious but only scantily buttered and not around the edges, so ask for extra butter. A serviette would have been nice. Taylor decaf tea was extra weak, ask for an extra tea bag to get a bit of taste

Wide ranging menu even for veggie meals and an all day breakfast. Well priced. Delicious meal. There was something for everyone including just toast and beans on toast which was perfect for the kids

excellent place to stop and have lunch or a snack. reasonable priced and with local food. well worth a stop

Eaten here a few times now and the food is consistently good and the coffee exceptional. Always a nice welcome and also dog-friendly. Recommend ‘the Zack’ deluxe sandwich - comes with nice coleslaw and salad too.

We went to give cafe Velo a try as we were wanting a decent cafe to sit and chill while having lunch, plus have a nice friendly atmosphere feel. It was the right choice, as we were made to feel very welcome and felt relaxed, Cafe Velo is under new management also, so good to see setting a high standard straight away. We were welcomed when we arrived and given time to look at the menu to decide on what we wanted, which was great as I do not like to be pestered when looking at the menu. The Coffee was great and the food fantastic, it is what I would call proper food, very tasty and filling, we managed to squeeze some cake in also, great choices overall on the menu. We will be visiting regular when in town and will recommend to family and friends.

Sorry Cafe Velo. I say sorry because we are regular customers. The last visit on a Saturday morning just before lunch we thought the Cafe Gloomy and quiet. The full English was ok but not exceptional. The service was ok but normally there's a nice vibe even if your not a cyclist. On a previous visit we commented on the table being sticky. We were informed it was the type of varnish on the table. on this occasion the tables are still sticky. not nice and needs addressing.

Organise regular weekly rides for a group of enthusiastic cyclists and always book our stops in advance. Imagine my embarrassment when took group of 12 there yesterday only to find it all locked up and dark. Eventually told there was a "family emergency" and that they had tried to call but no call was registered on my phone. Really poor and does not deserve to be supported with this kind of attitude to customers. Shame.

Having read fantastic reviews, I was hoping to treat my guests to a good experience. Oh dear. We walked through the door at 1pm on Sunday, thinking it would be buzzing. The place was empty, apart from a solitary man sitting in the window. It was dark, unwelcoming, and smelt of stale fat. The two young girls behind the counter gave no welcome, in fact looked extremely uncomfortable and didn't really know what to do with us. We made a polite attempt at looking at the menu, and beat a hasty retreat. We had a fantastic meal in a Saturday Market Deli, which was absolutely on top of the game.

I decided to stop here during the return leg of my Christmas bike ride from Brough to Driffield. As a cyclist I love nothing more than a nice coffee and a light bite to help me refuel on a 62 mile ride, (in winter no less) so I was more than happy to see that this cafe has bike storage and a friendly atmosphere to make you feel at home whilst kitted up. The range of food is what you would expect from a cafe, but the portions are nicely sized and the coffee is decent. The staff are also friendly and even gave me some napkins and water to help me wipe the dirt off my bike. There is also plenty of cycling decor for you to gaze at and even a TV downstairs to watch your favourite cyclocross or grand tour races. The only thing I would suggest is having a cloth and some bike cleaner on hand to let people clean their bikes with whilst their waiting for their food to digest if it's a damp day outside. All in all a great place to check your Strava and the carbs they sold me certainly got me back to Brough! Will definatly be coming back next time I'm cycling in the area.

Visited on Wednesday and was very impressed. A great setting and very cyclist friendly. A good menu, friendly and helpful staff, dog friendly, and amazing bacon and sausage sandwiches. Would highly recommend.

I came here with my husband for a quick bite to eat whilst exploring Beverley and the market last week, and both ended up having an absolutely delicious all day breakfast, the sausages were amazing and the chef is clearly an expert in perfectly poaching eggs ( something not easily found!) It’s a cycling themed cafe but don’t let that put you off, the staff are very welcoming and our waitress Olivia? (Sorry!) was very helpful in not only helping us choose which delicious cake to eat after but also on the history of the town and best places to visit and sights to see! We’ll definitely be back next time we go to Beverley, it was a wonderful experience and the food was fantastic!

Delicious food and fantastic service. We had a number of small children with us and they made smaller versions of whatever we chose for them. Everything was cooked fresh to order.

Fabulous place to eat in Beverley. The food is fantastic and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s dog friendly now too. Highly recommend

Super attentive service. Good choice on the menu. Good range and well priced. Service within minutes and order came not long after. Bacon butty on point and good hot chocolate

During these tough and trying times many people are desperate to eat out safely and securely. Upon arrival we were guided to both a sign in sheet and a test and trace app symbol which was nice to see. Safe practices are the biggest worry at the moment and cafe velo are following them religiously to ensure the safety of their consumers. Our welcome was friendly upon arrival and we conversed pleasantly with the owner regarding the food and drink and how the cafe had changed to table service to ensure safety of consumers and staff. Rob the owner, single handily worked the floor to reduce the amount of interaction amongst people which was really encouraging for the customers in the restaurant. Meanwhile he had a separate member of staff work the drinks and dessert counter and a chef work the kitchen. Reducing the levels of staff interaction in hospitality during these times is tough currently but the cafe ensured it was more than adequate and up to par to ensure the safety off all people in the cafe. Very professional and organised. On to the food and drinks. We took our time ordering drinks as we rarely eat out for breakfast but we opted for a pot of English breakfast tea (very reasonably priced and delicious) for my partner and a mocha for myself which was made to perfection. They arrived promptly which was fantastic. As for our meals my partner opted for the nachos as she craved something light as we had a long day ahead of us. The nachos were nicely toasted and the toppings were evenly spread And delicious. She ate every last part minus the jalapeños as she isn’t a fan of spice but was happy to pick them off with zero complaints. As for myself, I went for the eggs royale. I’d heard good news about their ability to poach eggs and make a decent hollandaise which is something I hold dearly to my heart as a chef myself. Zero faults with it. The eggs, poached beautifully, the hollandaise, spot on and not overworked (very delicate but full of flavour) exactly what I wanted. The muffins were toasted just to the level I prefer, not too much, not too little. The smoked salmon cut through the dish with the saltiness I desired and pleased my pallet pleasantly. I also added extra black pudding on my eggs royale as the Scottish in me couldn’t resist. Smoked salmon and black pudding? How could I say no to that. The black pudding was fried to perfection, people say that it’s easy to do so but black pudding can so easily be over/under cooked. 1.5 minutes on a high heat suits me just right, crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. This is what the chef produced for me. Presentation was immense and the portion sizes were generous for the prices advertised. Desserts were well priced and all made in house as well, lemon drizzle was amazing with just a drop of pouring cream. Fluffy and yet somehow dense and filling. Same for the millionaire shortbread! Overall, service-friendly and knowledgeable. Food-fantastic and well executed. Experience? 10 out of 10. If you’re looking for somewhere new to eat your breakfast regardless of your preference to cycling or not then this is the go to place. You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderfully niche and interesting. Road bike enthusiasts- PLEASE ATTEND! Great choices on menu but not overwhelming. Lovely produce, you can tell it’s locally sourced. Visited 5 times since new owner and re-opening and enjoyed the place each time. Recommend FULLY!

Spent 2days in Beverly and visited this cafe 3 times . It was a delight. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff are most welcoming especially the young lady. How lovely to find someone who obviously enjoys doing her job well and she certainly does. Thank you!!! The coffee and cakes are good too.

A good place to head to if you want a simple lunch - obviously kitted out for cyclists so can be busy but we were pleased to find you didn’t need to book a table and they had availability. Their approach to Covid-19 was professional. Lunch was a wrap and sandwich - nothing too exciting but nicely presented and the waiting staff were efficient and polite. Would recommend

Stopped here for lunch during a walking tour of Beverley.The theme is in the name, with cycling memorabilia on the walls and even hooks for your own bike if that's how you arrive.Staff were friendly and attentive, especially regarding COVID precautions, and the place was very clean.The menu is ideal for lunch, we settled on a Croque Monsieur, Eggs Benedict, BBQ panini and a bacon bitty, all of which were delicious and good value.All in all, a good place to stop for lunch

I've had the pleasure of visiting Velo on numerous occasions. In a town with an exceptional cafe culture Velo comes out on top.The food and drinks are always of a high standard and the service is swift and friendly.I thoroughly recommend Velo to any locals or visitors to the area.

Visited for coffee , first time since lockdown , the ambience not same, slow service , the waitresses , need to smarten up . As for earring in nose, !!!. It was disappointing visit .The chef , or I am led to believe new owner, in cafe area with dirty tea towel tucked in his belt . Menus on table , no sign of antibacterial wiping of table , or menus . Post covid, I would expect everyone to be on top of the game . Come back previous owners .

Had the pleasure of dining at velo for lunch this afternoon, and I cannot recommend it any more! Such a lovely atmosphere and a great alternative to the bigger chains in town, very well priced and the food was all fresh. Rob and Olivia were both lovely and will definitely be visiting again!

Beverley is full of cafes and among the stiff competition, this is one of the better ones. It has a cycling theme so if you do like cycling definitely try it, and you can put your bicycle inside the place against the wall, so good security. Coffee and light snacks are served in pleasant surroundings. Nothing special about the food and drik, but the cafe itself is cosy.

Lovely staff very friendly. Fab food. Recommend the Mushroom burger and the Black Sheep VELO. Great goats cheese

Called in on the off-chance on our way through Beverley and in desperate need of a coffee. It was quite close to closing time, but we were made very welcome. Our coffee was excellent, just what we needed to keep us going after a long drive, but the star of the show was the banoffee “pie” (looked more like a luxury cheesecake). Just one look and it had to be eaten! It didn’t disappoint....

Lovely cafe in the centre of Beverley with a strong cycling theme, lots of memorabilia and films of past racing days. Best though were the friendly welcome, great service and lovely food. A real find!

Had a nice stop off while in Beverley. Soup was excellent. Would recommend. Beverley nice town to visit.

Lovely welcoming cafe.. the times I've walked passed thinking it was a cycling clothing shop. Today I met a good friend for a coffee and was pleasantly surprised that it is a lovely cafe offering food with ingredients from local producers & made fresh, today making cakes ect. The staff are friendly and know all regular customers and welcome all new. I will definitely be returning and would recommend to all. My good friend is a keen cyclist and this is a great place for all with the same interest to meet up.

Uitstekende koffie, heerlijke koffie en geweldige gastvrijheid! Echt een aanrader. Perfect place for a coffee and a burger after a beautiful ride!

Nice cyclist café with good food and nice atmosphere. Nice homemade soup. Friendly staff. Bicycles can be stored indoors.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Best place to go with or without bike in Beverly.

I love eating at Cafe Velo, the food is always perfect. Selection of cakes fantastic and the service from all general staff excellent.

This is my favourite cafe in Beverley. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The service is quick and nothing is too much trouble. The food is always of a high quality. This is the only place to go for a full English. The bacon is amazing! A place not to be missed

The food and drinks are excellent and great value. The cafe caters for all comers particularly cyclists who can hang their cycles on a special rack. The staff are well trained and attentive. Excellent breakfasts.

We last visited Cafe Velo a couple of years ago, as we were in Beverley again we went back and had lunch. An excellent pea soup and beans on toast. Excellent service and a good atmosphere. Cafe Velo richly deserves its top spot with simple things done perfectly

Had breakfast here with a colleague. Friendly staff. Excellent coffee. We both had a full English breakfast which was excellent. All locally sourced produce - sausages were fabulous. No hesitation in recommending. My first time here and will return

Fantastic cycling memorabilia but a great ambiance for all with friendly staff and owners and delicious home-made food. Great coffee as well!

Love popping here for breakfast, either with loved ones and friends or on my own. Always a friendly welcome from Gary, and as the title says, the best breakfast in Beverley. Great coffee too, and lovely baked treats if you're feeling indulgent.

Never disappoints. Excellent food. Great staff. THE place to go for brekkie in Beverley whether in a car or on a bike.

Visited Beverley today with my wife and 3 kids. Found this cafe due to good reviews and delighted to say the reports are accurate.

I went to the cafe to attend a meeting there. I asked for dairy-free options and was made to feel bad for doing so. The owner, Gary, told me he was a small business and had to go with the majority.

A great place to stop mid bike ride. We loved all the bike related decor and fittings. Friendly staff and delicious food.

Popped in for coffee and had lunch .... brilliant! I had the coronation chicken wrap (superb!!) and my husband had the mushroom burger..... he has been raving about ever since. Very friendly staff and great service. Ended up buying a ‘cafe veil’ t-shirt too.

A group of 18 of us pitched up after riding over from Leeds. The cafe was already busy, but super friendly with people leaving being keen to make space so we could get ourselves and our bikes in.

Lovely food and swift service even though it was busy. Sandwiches are like having a loaf but you do pay for it - apparently down to the expensive rates but still worth it. Staff very friendly and very helpful👍👍

We stopped in Beverley on our way home for a little brunch and were treated to the most delicious full English and eggs benedict. Great service and cool cycling decor - definitely recommend!

Service was a bit slow, but everything was delicious. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back.

Staff were very friendly and the cafe was lovely inside and out. Food was amazing! Will definitely stop in again next time.

Popped in here for lunch with some friends and the food was great and the staff were so lovely and friendly! The man who served us (presumably the owner) was very knowledgable about the menu and made sure we knew exactly what we were ordering before making our decision - would highly recommend!!

The sausage butties here are the best you can have xx the staff are so friendly and helpful. Great for cyclists as there's plenty of storage for bikes

Great cafe for cyclists; lots of hooks inside to hang your bike. The coffee was excellent. Owner very helpful and friendly.

Had breakfast here this morning as we stayed in Beverley for the night. Great place, lovely staff and really good local food. Highly recommend. ❤️👍🏼

Friendly welcoming host accommodating a group of 8 of us for breakfast Everyone had different options but all delicious and food locally sourced where possible- the sausages especially where delicious!!!

Called in for breakfast with my son before setting off on a bike ride.

My sister and her wife stayed in beverley last month they used cafe velo whilst here and recommended it to me.

Intriguing spot whether cyclist or not with a good interior feel. Great coffee and decent selection of cakes, kids had trouble deciding what to have. Staff genuinely friendly and chatty, makes a refreshing change to the manufactured cafe experience of the high street soulless monsters. Will be back.

Eight hungry adults arrived at the cafe at around 10.00am Sunday. It was already busy but staff were very accomodating and welcoming and enabled us to sit together upstairs. Service was very efficient and the food and coffee great. Everybody who had the full english commented on the fantastic tasting sausages!

Great place to grab breakfast or lunch, good prices too. Coffee excellent. Good selection of sandwiches and light lunches as well as some more substantial offerings,

We had 2 visits for lunch during our week in Yorkshire. Excellent food, coffee and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited as a group of 8 friends. Owner and staff were really accommodating. All the breakfasts were superb. The flat white was superb, not the bucket of hot milk that so many places serve. Highly recommend a visit.

Having checked the reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to try Cafe Velo for breakfast. We can confirm the reviews. Staff are friendly, excellent service, great food and we will definitely go back on our next visit to Beverley.

Had a fantastic breakfast / brunch today with friends. Good menu choices, definitely recommend the sausages! Serves locally sourced food.

I’d cycled here before and had great coffee and cake so called in for lunch on a cycle camping trip. Fantastic steak pie, potato wedges and peas. I’d seen off one excellent flat white but wanted another with my cake. Was offered and accepted decaf which was equally good. I left replete and ready for my last 30 odd miles home. This cafe is a must for cyclists visiting Beverley and highly recommended for everyone else.

6 photographers looking to shelter from the rain. A very friendly welcome followed by some delicious food and excellent coffee. A fun themed location that doesn't turn you away just because your not in lycra :) Seriously though some thoughtful touched like indoor bike rack to protect your bike would seriously help. We didn't care as we were to busy stuffing our faces with home made quiche, full english breakfasts and some wonderful banoffee pie

This is a great cafe particularly if you are a fan of cycling.

Lovely stop. My Eggs Benedict were second to none. Friendly service, secure bike storage, and great coffee.

Recommended here by a local business. Epic bacon butty.... served on a fresh barm/teacake with locally sourced bacon. Perfect !! Coffee from a proper machine and delicious cakes . Definitely going here again 😀

I am a fairly regular visitor when I am cycling through Beverley. What attracts me is the excellent coffee and the superb food. The food is locally sourced and is of the highest quality. The coffee is barista standard and compliments the cake collect, which is home made.

Excellent cycling cafe. Great food, hooks to hang your bike indoors, good view of the Minster. Highly recommended.

As most local cyclist will know, this place is a fantastic mid ride stop but it isn’t a one trick pony of just catering for cyclists. It’s a great cafe with fab quality locally sourced food, so great for anyone looking for a quick bite to eat. They also stock a nice range of beers if the mood takes and some desirable looking sweet treats. It’s also good to know that cards and Apple Pay are accepted on bills over £5 so even if you are with out cash there are still ways to enjoy it here.

Fabulous place for breaky this morning with the family. Gary the owner was such a nice guy & the food we had was perfect. Great tasting porridge, tea cakes,coffee's & a cyclist's paradise.Would definitely recommend this super place #5stars

Best place to go in Beverley. Perfect cafe for everyone and a bit special for cyclists . Great welcome. Fab food - Velo. Club sandwich will fuel you for the rest of a big ride. Will def be back.

Called in today for some food 50 miles into a 70 mile ride. Busy but still space to hang bikes and food order came really quickly. Brownie was delish. Great cafe. Wish it was closer to home.

We were recommended Cafe Velo on a trip over from NZ to visit family. Went with my brother who is a regular and had by far the best coffee of the trip. Gary is a welcoming and magnanimous host even staying open for us to have coffee despite wanting to close early on his wedding anniversary. We had a fabulous mocha and a slice

Café Velo is just quality. It has a very high finish level from the bike chain table numbers to the locally sourced sausages. The owners passionately source most ingredients from local suppliers, even the coffee is roasted in nearby Hull.

A friend from my club recommended Cafe Velo as the place to stop at in Beverley and he's spot on. Stopped off for some lunch on my way to the coast from Harrogate and was immediately welcomed. Great menu to choose from and excellent coffee but it's the friendliness of the owner which makes this place so great. Will definitely take you up on the offer of that beer at Worlds! Cheers for a great lunch and will be back soon!

Great service -local food really good quality. Thanks Gary for a warm welcome. The perfect breakfast stop after returning to Hull from Rotterdam.

Food, service, and venue fab! Great themed cafe...perfect for lunch on your first century ride...or any ride for that matter! Worth just cycling there for food 😉 Club Sandwich was to die for!😋

Even better if you like cycling. Good food- snacks, meals, breakfast and good coffee. All rounded off with much friendliness!

Visited the cafe today for some breakfast and a coffee, very friendly staff, owner was a great guy very accommodating, went for a flat white and a full English, the breakfast lovely and did the job of filling me up and the coffee was so good I ended up leaving with a bag, highly recommend this place if you're in the area, especially if you're a cyclist.

Popped in ahead of the 2019 Tour de Yorkshire stage 1, having failed to pop in on several visits to Beverley. It's a cafe that'll immediately put a smile on your face if you have any interest in cycling, and then the proprietor will help it stay there (if it's quiet - we were in early - the conversation just flows!). I was wearing a Holdsworth T-shirt, so that was a catalyst for a fab chat before we even got our order in. The coffee blend was properly good, btw, as was the mille feuille. We'll be back.

As a keen cyclist I’m a regular here and always try and work in a visit on my weekend ride as always a pleasure.

We started and finished our 4 day Yorkshire Wolds cycle here. Great cycle themed atmosphere. Indoor storage for bikes whilst you eat. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff. Would eat and drink there again!

Visited Cafe Velo while out on a cycle ride, what an amazing place this is. Any cyclist would love to go inside it’s full of cycling gear and memorabilia. The owner was really friendly and helpful and they had a great range of freshly cooked great quality food ! It’s not just for cyclists though, the cafe had plenty of shoppers etc enjoying the food and hospitality. I would highly recommend this place to anyone a real Gem ! 10/10

Whether you’re a cyclist, cycling fan or neither, this is a great cafe. Enjoyed really good food, delivered in a timely way with a smile. I love the fact my bike got to hang inside, I know no other cafe that facilitates this. The cafe decor and cycling memorabilia is awesome. Don’t hesitate to eat here you won’t be disappointed.

We met some friends who were visiting Beverley here for a late brunch. The food was delicious from the full breakfast to the quiche, accompanied by great coffees in a lovely relaxing environment. One of Beverley’s real gems.

If you're a cyclist, go there - there's fantastic memorabilia, and Gary is great to chat with. If you're not a cyclist, go there - fabulous food and coffee.

Owner very friendly, food great - really good coffee as well. nothing more to say! Would recommend to anyone.

Tried the lunch here with my friends because of the good reviews on trip advisor. The food was good and massive. Lovely place.

Great stop for hungry cyclists, (although plenty of non cycling clientele too)

This cafe is a warm welcoming place with lovely staff and a superb atmosphere. I had the BEST bacon buttie and hot chocolate and will come back lots! Great service and food quality... love LOVE LOVE! 💗 💖

If you love wholesome localy sourced food and you love all things cycling you'll love Cafe Velo . Excellent place for a pitstop or a walk in visit..... with a classic cycling ambience

Breakfast at Cafe Velo was the perfect way to set off day 3 of our Wolds Way cycle tour. Terrific setting with the church bells ringing, fabulous cafe interior, friendly staff and the best coffee and breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back.

This is a cafe for cyclists - and non cyclists.

Lovely cafe with a fascinating look. Cycling memorabilia everywhere (I really like the flower holders in the loos!), friendly service and an excellent menu choice.

Fab place and great nosh, big thanks to Gary and his staff for the friendly welcome on tour de Yorkshire stage 1 day.

Great food with very good value for money, unbelievable portion sizes and very polite staff. 10 out of 10

Popped into cafe velo on a rainy Saturday for a bite to eat , had the velo club sandwich and it was fabulous couldn’t fault the service or portion!! The cafe uses locally sourced ingredients for all its food and it is hand prepared on site and cooked as you wait. Will be back again to taste the delightful menu

We called into the Cafe Velo just out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised with the setting, atmosphere and service. I am a keen cyclist and think the theme is excellent. We people watched as riders came and went. Food looked amazing but we only had the coffee which was far better than the larger outlets nearby. Will definitely call again for a meal next time.

Great venue, comfortable seating, fabulous coffee and very tasty, well priced sandwiches. Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. We are keen cyclists so found the cycling memorabilia really interesting. I believe the cafe try to source local products and definitely support local artists. If you would like a great cup of coffee this is certainly the place to visit!!
