Giro in Elmbridge

Been here every week since the start of their £10 pizza and drink offer on Thursday and Friday, pizza has been world class every time. Friendly chatty staff as well.

Visiting the area looking for a coffee . Come across this little Gem .Cycling themed cafe, they have bike equipment shop and bike workshop . And place to chain up your bikes outside . Plenty of seating . Staff very friendly and delicious coffees , toasted sandwiches. Toasted croissants , cakes . Worth a visit biking or not biking .

Absolutely amazing, never knew this place existed and thought I’d pop in for a cup of coffee, ended up getting the best toastie I’ve ever had. Beautiful decoration, amazing staff, and even better food

I see it is popular but I didn’t think the staff were friendly and the biggest let down was they refuse cash. I’m really sorry but spending cash should be an absolute right enshrined in law. The coffee was adequate but nothing special.

Great atmosphere & nice menu but our toasties took ages to come. I wouldn’t mind if they’d been made from scratch but they came out of a tub in the fridge 🤣 They were delicious and it wouldn’t stop me coming back again but it would stop me visiting if I was in a hurry! 😊

We visit every time we go to the races. The banana bread is absolutely the best ever, thanks guys. The coffee is also first class as is the avocado toast with tomato salsa. So busy with all the cyclists who certainly know a good coffee.

Visited on our way to an event. Slight diversion to get here but well worth it. Service, food, and drinks are excellent. If you are in the area and get a chance then you need to visit here and try it for yourself.

Very busy weekend with cyclists but personally speaking have always found non cyclists equally made welcome. Good midweek venue for a well above average coffee and excellent range of tempting cakes

A great place to stop for a coffee or treat if you’re on a ride on your bike or not! Couldn’t resist indulging in some of their cycling March and accessories either

This coffee house serves fantastic coffee and certainly isn’t just for cyclists as other reviews have stated. It would compare favourably to Australian style coffee shops which have totally transformed the market away from the usual chains. My only gripe would be it seems the staff are unable to smile - shame. But doesn’t ruin the experience!

What a wonderful cycle cafe catering to the cycling and non-cycling community alike! Unusual in its desire to create a community rather than focus on shifting tonnes of coffee, mass produced cakes, and ciabattas! There are even regular coffee tasting evenings, cocktail evenings with a DJ and interesting talks held at the cafe in the evenings! They have even opened up a lovely new outside space, and garden for people to enjoy the sunshine! This must have taken years to get permissions and approval - testament to the owners unrelenting desire to create a community. Jordan and his wonderful team are passionate, knowledgeable and caring. What more could you ask for in a cafe! The coffee is sublime! You will come here for the coffee, you will return again and again for the people. It's truly a magical place.

The good coffee is spoils by the bike yuppies. Better to go across the road for some space. This is really for hells Angel bikes, who pretend they are on the Tour de Surrey.

Love this place. Excellent coffee, cakes and food. Coffee is so good I always have a couple of cups :) Often I’ll have avocado on toast or a New York bagel. Always a great stop when out cycling. Giro also offers bike racks and free locks to use. Also stock some great cycling gear (especially Sportive and Attaquer) Can get a little busy at times, but definitely worth the visit.

Well crafted coffees, good selection of cakes and pastries, relaxed informal and very welcoming for everyone, not just cyclists

To the lovely server who talked me in to the veggie burrito, you were right, it was outstanding. Really delicious and great fresh juice too.

Thus place is better in the week if you want to drop in to meet friends or with the family. At weekends it’s too busy for me with my 3 year old with cyclists (well it is a cycling cafe..). Limited menu choice. Not a coffee drinker but heard it’s very good!

We needed something uplifting between our flight from Lisbon and the long drive home - and conveniently we had parked our car at our friends house in Esher. We knew that we would get a perfect flat white here, which we duly did - along with some fresh tasty food.This place never disappoints!

Relaxed atmosphere, good coffee and wide range of snacks, small bites. (Veggie and Vegan included). Popular with the cycling crowd, especially over the weekend but during the week very accessible to all. Great to have a quality, independent coffee shop like this in Esher. Worth visiting

First time going to Giro in esher and it didn’t disappoint very nice coffee a little on the expensive side but would recommend.

Great cheese toasties and I’m told outstanding coffee (which I don’t drink). I wish I liked this place more as only 5 minutes from my house.

Daughter & I stopped off while on a bike ride. Was nearly home but promised myself I would stop off as it looks very classy & in a great position. Good seating area outside. Inside has good seating with tv & shop to purchase road bike items. We sat in the window looking out at Esher life.

The location cannot be faulted and a great concept for passing cyclists. Not being one myself though. Not a busy morning with more than 3 people serving. Limited menu. I opted for a sourdough toast with avocado, espresso and a juice. Headed outside and waited. Friendly other customers but the staff just seemed annoyed. After a good 15 mins I enquired as to where my toast was and was told tercly that it would come out when it was ready... no apology... then I noticed the juice glass had a huge crack in it. I returned this inside for a replacement. Again no apology.

Visiting Esher from the States, best coffee and tea I have had in Esher! Very friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended!

Stopped to have a business meeting - best coffee tasted in a long time, lovely staff and great internet. A little noisy for a meeting but we didntbmind.

Excellent independent coffee shop. A relaxing place except at the weekends as it’s real reason to be becomes apparent. Hundreds of cyclists descend on this venue to socialise and imbibe on their Surrey cycle jaunts

Visited this Saturday for a late lunch, although the food took a while to come, it was fresh, tasty and delicious. Sadly despite not having that many customers, the noise level marred our visit. The sport channel on the TV was blaring, as was the separate music system. We asked for one of them to be turned down or off, but the staff were unable or unwilling to do anything. (It wasn't easy to hear what their excuse was.) We moved to the back upper level of this cafe, so that we could at least hear each other. Our server was clearly glad to see us leave. Its a great place for deaf cyclists, but I wouldn't return.

Ok it has busy moments but that what popularity brings you They love there coffee but it’s priced right, food is great, the breakfast burrito is my fav

Visit Giro during the week if I have a break in my work schedule and also after weekend cycle rides. Can get very busy but food has always been good when I opt to eat, and the coffee always very decent. Recommended.

We called in to this cyclists cafe on a freezing cold day. Although it has a cycling theme and cycle racks outside, everyone is welcome.

Great coffee and well worth the detour. Racks outside to lock bike up. Nice cake (just for energy of course). Much better than the coffee chain across the road.

Brilliant place for coffee/brunch, welcoming and friendly. My wife and I think this is the best coffee house in Surrey.

Definitely the current front runner for the best coffee house in Esher and there are many...... mostly chains. Good selection of coffees, cakes, sandwiches ( different too! ). Relaxed surroundings and pleasant people. Always a good recipe !! A cycling hub....... but its not just for cyclists. Always enjoy popping in and always prefer to go to an independent, especially when they are as good as this !!

As I sat at the table on the small round pull out (didn't know that at time) seat whizzed away and I crashed to the floor.

Claramente animados por el creciente interés por el ciclismo, y al estar en la Villa Olímpica de Londres, Viaje/cursos este café es vibrante y animado. El café es excelente y una gran selección de pasteles sabrosos y opciones. Yo evitaría primero los fines de semana cuando no se puede mover para ciclistas parando para refrescarse durante la capacitación se lleva a cabo.

Este café acaba de abrir después de una renovación forzada (debido a una fuga de agua). Incluso mejor que antes! Gran lugar para un café y un aperitivo! Lo que realmente me impresionó fue que durante la reforma llueva o venga a brillar, el propietario...

Este lugar está actualmente en renovación y debido a reabrir pronto, así que han puesto un poco de café que venden fuera de cabina improvisado algunos todavía bastante café y pasteles en el ínterin. Como y cuando abre, es un gran lugar para montar en un café y ponerse al día con el año, con algunos socios de ciclismo blancos plana de calidad y una esquina de la tarta. Estar fuera agradable si el tiempo es susceptible a ella.

Fuimos un domingo por la mañana y estaba llena de ciclistas (éramos los únicos ciclistas no! Pero encontramos una mesa. El menú no es enorme, pero de buena calidad y variado. El aguacate en tostadas era una porción muy generosa, montones de aguacate. El servicio era rápido y amable.

Utilizamos el café como excusa para mirar las bicicletas muy guay, pero tengo que decir que una excelente taza de café que era y lo que era un lugar agradable, el personal era muy acogedor.

Siendo un Esher local vamos a menudo a la de giro para un café excelente, la comida muy buena, el personal es espléndido, muy animado.

Just cycled to this haven only to discover I had left my wallet at home. I sat down and had some water and a lovely latte magically appeared without any begging whatsoever. How nice. Thank you.

After 60 miles or even 30 I arrive at Giro on two wheels having quite definitely earned my almond croissant and Latte. The coffee at Giro is really good, I appreciate the minty water and one day I will try a sausage sandwich - they look and smell ace....I need a longer ride to justify that though maybe 200 miles. Giro is moved out with bikies on a Saturday morning - perhaps a different set takes over during week... I will never know. Highly recommended.

Giro, has great decor, bike racks, bike locks, really cool, nice staff and pretty good looking ones too. Great coffee, great cakes (could be larger please), good loyalty card scheme. Does other food and drinks too. Has a shop at the back and is generally a bit of a cycling mecca, also very relaxed. Have never asked if they have wifi, but sure they do.Giro in Esher has more space than the Beans Bike Cafe in Ashtead, but it would be interesting to see which of these two could take the coveted trophy as best bike cafe in Surrey.

Looking for an early morning coffee in Esher I decided against the many coffee shop chains in the High Street and tried out Giro. An excellent flat white and a very well cooked bacon+brioche bun was the perfect pit stop on a journey from Sussex into London. The restaurant is on the LH side of the main street going North towards Sandown, and at the northern end of the street. You will recognise it by the cycle racks outside, and it seems to be popular with cyclists as the back of the café area has a range of cyclist clothing. The main café area has a mix of tables, armchairs and sofas, and felt warm and friendly as I opened the door. The two owners reinforced that feeling. Coffees, wines and refreshments are elegantly written up at the back of the serving area. The array of cakes looked excellent. Can't think why you would want to try anywhere else!

Really friendly staff, great atmosphere, tasty cakes and excellent coffee. What more could you ask for?It's geared towards cyclists and the attention to detail is top notch. From the indoor bike rack to the bike locks left by the door for you to use - it's the small touches that make the difference.Keep up the good work!

This is one of my favourite spots for a Saturday morning coffee. The flavour of the coffee served here is great. Every cup is rich in taste and smooth to drink. Highly recommended.

Friendly coffee shop with an amazing range of gluten free cakes. The service is always good and friendly.

We called in while house hunting in the area on a Saturday morning. Although the place was busy mainly with cyclists, the staff were very friendly and supper efficient. We had good flat whites and a delicious cake and pastry.The cafe has a friendly atmosphere with a great selection of food. The space is well designed and layer out with a mix of seating with a cycle clothing shop in the back. The photographs on the wall are gallery standard - I am not kidding! Even though this is a 'cyclists coffee shop' in essence, more akin to what you would find in Shoreditch, it is still well worth a visit from those non-cyclists of us.Looking forward to making this cafe out regular when we move to the area.

Popped in here on my way home in the evening on my bike. You can drop you bike inside and they provide locks if you need one.Very friendly staff. Good coffee and lovely cakes. I can recommend the lemon drizzle cake. Good layout with nice decor and amazing cycling posters. Very chilled in the evening. A good place to relax, focus and take some time to think and read.I've been past on a Saturday morning where it is a popular place for cyclists to take a break and top up fuel and caffeine.Top place. I'll definitely be back!

Back again for drinks and cake on the way home. We both love this place not only for the excellent drinks and food but also the atmosphere.The cafe was very busy and the only seats available were upstairs out of the way. We ordered drinks and I ordered a brownie and sat down. After the drinks and food arrived a table became free downstairs so we moved. This was much better for us. The drinks were so good that we each had another. I also bought a couple of Max's protein bars which sounded great although they weren't priced but Ibought them anyway.All in all another excellent visit and we will be back at some point.

Been here a few times. Nice guys, nice coffee. Very bike friendly. A lot of Lycra about which my wife wasn't too keen on!

Great coffee, tea and snacks. Indoor and outdoor seating and usually not a problem to find a seat. The bike focus comes with good bike stand, bike clothes for sale - never seen so many socks- and some bike kit.

Stopped for coffee with friends during cycle ride. Excellent coffee and good place to hang out and rest for bit. Didn't have anything to eat but looked good and will be coming back. Worth a detour. Much better than the chain across the road.

Great place for cyclists to stop for a coffee & bite to eat. It is a very clean, friendly place. Love it even though I am not a cyclist

Left a bad review of here once, feel bad, it is pretty awesome with great staff! Nice food, cool atmosphere and great coffee. Feels good to be proven wrong

Love this place! Like all non-chain cafe's this place has soul. Forget the Costa opposite and Nero up the high street. Both have sullen staff who couldn't give a monkeys about service. This place to the contrary has great staff and food. The soya late is delicious and often done poorly. My only tip is get there early for the breakfast burrito. They sell out within minutes! Highly recommended!!!!!!

What a wonderful coffee shop! If you are in the area it's a must visit. It's the go to place for all cyclists (it's a cycle shop as well as a coffee shop) but I don't cycle - although I probably should- and I feel right at home so don't worry If you don't. Lunch menu avaliable bit it's the cake and coffee...or in my case the white hot chocolate you want to go for...!! Delicious! Such nice staff and lovely food...slight downside it's not for a cheap pit stop, you're looking about ££££ out of £££££ for price but lovely for a treat!!

If your visiting Sandown racing or just out for the day and in the area make sure to stop for coffee and cake at Giro an independent coffee shop with great tasting coffee and out of this world coffee and walnut cake o and the service is not half bad

We didn't eat but the coffee and social banter among fellow cyclists was superb. Not a massively efficient place as not heavily staffed but you're not necessarily in a rush when you want to grab a coffee before continuing your ride. Location could be better as the main road is quite noisy but having an almost dedicated cycle friendly stop is great. The shop out back has a decent range of kit too but its mainly top-end.

Becoming a staple destination on cycle rides, completes a nice 50+ mile ride and can incorporate any of the many surrey hills. Love what they're doing and they make a mean flat white!

Esher is on the Olympic route for bikers. They swarm all over the route towards the Surrey hills. This hostelry serves great coffee and is the place to be seen!

Maybe the most over priced coffee in the world, no exaggeration. With a lovely view of a road and annoying Lycra clad people. If it was half the price we would go back. In Italy, where I assume Giros owners come from a cappuccino in Roma for example costs 99 cents.

Have been here a couple of times with friends, and really like the relaxed atmosphere and delicious and inexpensive food.

We came here for coffee and cakes but I did not enjoy my hot chocolate as it was weak. When I commented on this I was told that it was Fairtrade or something. My cake was OK but the prices are more than Caffe Nero for example (which was full). This cafe is really for cyclists as per the name. Not a lot of tables and the large high table near the door with stools takes up a lot of room, especially if only two people are sitting there.

This is the only place on Esher High Street with any soul, great great staff and food. Love it! Highly recommended!!!!!!

I love having Giro on my local high street - it beats any of the coffee chains. Ironically, I don't drink coffee but they have a lovely selection of herbal tea and my nephews love their hot chocolate (milk, white or dark). Their menu choice is simple but tasty and is a perfect place to meet friends for breakfast or go to work on my laptop and have a little lunch. It does get super busy but I've never felt rushed to leave or in the way of the cyclists. The team are super friendly and obviously enjoy working there. The only negative I have to say is that when they are busy they will often forget orders but a gentle reminder and it's right in front of you! Well done Giro!

I have been there a couple of times as cycling clubs meet there. Also I passed by and popped in after a ride out. The food quality is great, the quality of the coffee and cakes also amazing. Also lots of staff on hand that smile and help you out. What more do you want? See if you can find a seat quick, grab a coffee and a cake!

Warm atmosphere for locals and anyone passing through, good coffee and intresting lunch options. Will be coming again!

My wife and I, coffee lovers both, were recommended to try Giro. We were not in the least disappointed. The coffee itself is good and flavoursome and their was a decent range of gluten free cakes. We tried the pistachio, lime and white chocolate- delicious. The order was brought over to our seats, looking out on the high street, promptly and pleasantly. The people working there were very personable and professional. We shall return to this independent coffee house again. Do try it.

Coffee is great, food is great, the people are great. Everything about Giro is amazing. I go there all the time, whether with my friends or to study. Giro has such a great atmosphere, and it is by far my favorite cafe.

Been here quite a few times and we drove from Teddington on our way home. We both love this place. The coffee is superb and the cakes are top notch.Coffee took a while but they were adjusting the grinder and perfection takes time, right.We had an Americano and a white hot chocolate. Both were so good that my wife had another hot chocolate and I had a double espresso. We ate chocolate cake and lemon slice. We cannot wait to go again but not sure when that will be as it is around 70 miles away.If you are in the area then go here rather than Costa which is over the road.

Great atmosphere and rocket coffee for the final push back into London after a long ride.Awesome cycling kit too!

Had an hour to kill so it was a toss up between Costa and Giro. Glad we chose the latter. Cosy, great coffee and cake and plenty of bike stuff to look at while the wife is checking emails. Top quality

Been twice. First time was OK, nice coffee and friendly staff. Second time I had to climb over the bikes blocking the entrance to listen to a load of Mamils honking on about cycling, bikes, shoes, yawn, yawn!If there's a bunch of bikes outside go somewhere else!

Never fails to delight, great atmosphere and bacon sandwiches are also recommended. Coffee is incredible.

Comfy café that is very welcoming with very friendly staff. Lovely hot chocolate including white chocolate - delicious. Will be back for sure.

Usually grab a takeaway coffee, but decided to sit down with a paper, coffee and wrap.The coffee is nice, varied tastes most times that I go.Good choice of wraps, I usually choose the veggie option. Taste is nothing spectacular, but it's filled out, filling and well-presented.Overall it's a nice relaxing place to park your behind for a spare hour.

It's always a pleasure to wander up to Giro on the High Street in Esher. The welcome is warm and our Labrador is also welcome there. Long the haunt of cyclists and locals alike - and for good reason! This café serves up delicious coffee, hot chocolates (dark, milk or white) various teas, juices and smoothies. They offer a variety of cakes (mostly healthy looking) and savoury snacks. All have been a hit with us - the latest being bacon and avocado on toast. :-) Highly recommended if you like your coffee brewed just right.

Dropped son at Daytona racetrack popped to esher for a coffee/bite to eat. Saw giro though let's try. Asked the Lycra clad chap outside if they did breakfast he nodded and smiled. Good start but he's not staff. Walked in stood at bar looking at menu board, totally ignored? I appreciate its "for cyclists" oh, hang on, should I have brought my specialized sworks, Pearsons racer or my Faggin steel frame resprayed and kitted out with 105 and love..... Yes, I'm a cyclist too! with no acknowledgement I turned and walked out! Won't go there again.

Great experience, many cyclists and fitness trainers frequent this cosy café, good for business meetings

Great little find, nice breakfast menu, as was the drinks on offer. Right next to Sandown Race Course, so will be using again on our next visit!!!

I popped in to Giro for a coffee and to see what all the rave reviews were about. Had a nice chat with the chap who served me who was very friendly and kind enough to tell me all about the specialist bike kit they sell. Suffice to say, if you are a cyclist this place will make you feel like a kid in Hamleys.

Best cup of coffee in London...make that UK! Laid back atmosphere with unbelievable coffee, excellent service, descent sandwiches and great people. I'd drive 100 miles just for a Giro coffee!

We regularly visit Giro for a drink and cake after a long cycle, and am always very happy with the service & coffees/cakes! Really great atmosphere with both cyclists and non-cyclists enjoying the place.Highly recommend

What's not to like about this place? Good food, good service (in fact, service with a smile), comfortable seating, a nice buzz and best of all the BEST coffee in town! Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good. Great place to meet up with friends or to be alone. Certainly worth a try.

This is a well-positioned coffee shop on the High St in Esher which, as its name suggests, is somewhat oriented towards cyclists and the cycling community. It's a meeting point and moreover a coffee stop for such. The coffee was good enough and the place has a pretty decent ambience with a few seats outside for those guarding their precious carbon. For two not particularly large coffees I thought north of £5 was a bit strong, particularly as cyclists don't really like carrying shrapnel around.

The coffee and snacks at Giro are without question some of the best you will ever find at this great cafe.I love popping in for my toasted bacon sandwich at lunchtime and a chat with the friendly staff ,it's so rare to find such a unique enterprise ,run with so much enthusiasm .

Ignore the only bad review and go there. Very good coffee, excellent staff and nice atmosphere. For those driving plenty of parking close by, if you are looking for somewhere a little different from the norm then this is the place.

Oh deary me if your idea of rank coffee & a stale cake whilst being exposed to old men clad in Lycra cycle shorts( cod piece & bum pads included!) then this is the place for you. Unless you own a road bike your looked at like some kind of freak. Ran by posh boy who thinks he's lord sugar, go over to costa for a proper coffee.

Heard about this place while surfing YouTube so decided to judge for ourselves. Truth is, Giro is a wonderful coffee spot that serves light snacks and cakes too. We had the most gorgeous flat white coffees accompanied by delectable cakes. The staff were wonderful and attentive as we milled away a leisurely 2 hours in their relaxing café. Will definitely go back next time we are in the area. Keep up the good work guys!

Great location. Comfortable, relaxing and provides a good choice - more than just a coffee if you want to meet for business.

Deservedly popular, this was my first visit. Cold brewed coffee was a great recommendation. This is a great destination stop on a bike ride from London to Surrey Hills and a worthwhile stop even if you aren't interested in bikes!

Husband recommended this place so I thought I would check it out when walking past.Had an amazingly smooth cold drip coffee with gorgeous cake - can't believe it took me 3 months to try out. I will be back very soon!

Great coffee shop / cafe in Esher. I have become a coffee snob over the years and Giro does it right. Great vibe with cyclists, friends and families using this as a place to relax and hang out. Staff has always been a treat too.

Great coffee, atmosphere and food - a cafe of choice for cyclists (and non-cyclists) in the area, and quite possibly the best cycling cafe in and around London.

Coffee is just THE best, wraps are delicious and the cakes are utterly mouthwatering. Complimentary water on the tables is a nice touch.

Just moved to the UK from Chicago... Great place any time of day. Cappuccino is excellent and the food is a pleasant surprise for a small coffee house. Have turned my morning favorite into an any time of the day favorite. Indoor parking for bikes is just an added benefit!

Love this placeCoffee and cycling at it's heart.Coffee by far the best in the areaLove the decor and Breakfast Burrito, great service, And the sell some freat cycle kit and bikes

Popped in on a busy Saturday afternoon. Nice atmosphere and coffee. Only minor niggle was with the paninis we ordered - we were asked if we wanted accompanying salad, which I assumed was complimentary. It turned out to be just a handful of rocket leaves and balsamic vinegar. Only £1.50 extra but on top of a £4 panini, it felt a bit stingy.

We returned here for coffee this morning with our friends who live in Esher and the flat white coffee is just as good as first time round - indeed we enjoyed it so much that we broke our normal rule and had a second one!This place is as much heaven for coffee enthusiasts as it clearly is for cyclists.

Have been coming here since it opened. Fantastic location and place to have a great cup of coffee. Not too expensive in comparison to the 'chains' and has a very loyal following of cyclists and others. It caters for all. Food is great and so is the service. Highly recommended
