Maglia Rosso in St Edmundsbury

advise avoiding this cafe. The customer care is non existent. We knew there would be a long wait (No updates were given) but after over an hour, we found they had lost our order. Due to the time we had to opt for a card refund and were kept waiting AGAIN while they tried to work out how, because giving cash from the till would upset their system!!!! The manager/ owner (?) didnt even apologise and left it to the woman next to him.

Definitely gone down hill lately Very very expensive for a drink £5 for a basic milkshake 😡😡😡 and bike shop was shut which is shocking for somewhere which relies on passing cyclists for trade

Great shop with friendly and helpful staff, recommended.

Visited here on Saturday after a Di2 failure on my bike before setting off on the Wolfs Way cycling route. Matt completely saved the day and got me back up and running at such short notice. Can completely recommend visiting here (and cycling the Wolf way!)

Simply a 'must visit' place. I go regularly, but not as often as I should. The bike service team are exemplary and can deal with any issue, minor to complete rebuild. The cafe is also a terrific place to refuel, chat and gaze at some exquisite classic road bikes on display. If that metallic purple machine above the counter ever goes on-sale, please let me know. Top marks, one and all. x

Bought a bike that was sold as new, turns out it had been used, as shifter and folk had marks plus tyres were not super clean for a new bike. Not great service as won't share return details. This was a birthday present for my 15 year old. Spent £1500 and still the service is poor. Small things make a big difference. I know this is fantastic business (as you can tell from the website and local community feedback) but stop trying to boil the ocean and concentrate on customer service & experience. Being busy is no excuse, spend a little time for every that comes to you.

Excellent service and repair. Glad I discovered Maglia Rosso.

The service you get from the team at Maglia Rosso is second to none (& the coffee & cake isn't bad either 😉👍) well worth a visit.

Very quick turn round with good updates on parts required, great job everything fixed on time.

Excellent bike service. Knowledgeable and efficient. Also has a great cafe!

Good service of my Temple Adventure Disc Bike, clear communication, helpful advice

The Pod was well-equipped & very clean. I booked the disabled accessible pod due to my age related accelerating decrepitude. It was perfect for my requirements. The added bonus was the cafe on site which is dog friendly. Breakfast cooked for me, what a luxury.

We parked here overnight in our campervan in return for having breakfast in the cafe. What a great idea, and I wished that more places took a similar enlightened attitude to campervan and motorhome overnight parking. The breakfast was lovely and the surroundings were pleasant and peaceful. Highly recommended. Thank you.

This is an excellent stop, friendly and welcoming.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and great service

Wonderful cafe with a great selection of cakes but the main reason for this review is the exceptional customer service from the bike repair team. Our 7yo son had damaged his derailleur two days before his first cycle event and the amazing team didn't have one in stock, and couldn't get one before the competion. They called other rival local bike shops to find one, without success, and eventually removed one from another bike they had on display. It was an amazing example of customer service and we're incredibly grateful to them as our son was able to enter his first race.

First time using their workshop and I’ve had a very good experience, everybody is very friendly, easy to talk and profesional. They got my bike ready really quick and I can really feel the difference after the service, such a smooth ride!

I’ve cycled here a few times before and really think the food has got even better. I had the vegetarian breakfast at about 12pm which was great with little sautéed potatoes, 2 eggs and some good veggie sausages. A great stop over or destination cycling from Cambridge. It’s got everything! Long may it last please use this cafe ! Also the young guy working there was so friendly and polite, he seemed to be quite new to the job and had to deal with some pretty demanding customers. We’ve all started somewhere and had to learn, and top marks to him for persevering and taking it in his stride. 👏 👏 👏

Lovely lunch here..added bonus.. donkeys were visiting. What more could you want !?

My only complaint is that this place isn't closer to where I live. Chaps in the bike shop are really friendly and work really quickly. The price is incredibly reasonable too. 10/10 for that part of the business. The coffee shop is a great spot, with some of the best coffee I have had in Suffolk, again with really lovely service.

Visited as it was the base for The Edge 100 ride. Lovely cafe and lots of space for bikes. The food and drinks were great.

They told us they were not serving full English breakfasts only baps which we was okay with but then looked around us and everyone else has got a full English even though they weren’t serving this apparently. Don’t know why they refused to serve us out of everyone else and the staff then said it was because it was “busy”. There was only 2 other small families in the place with us so that was a pointless remark 🙄

Brilliant place to stop during a ride and grab a refresher. Can definitely recommend anyone to pop past on their next ride, even if they're unfit like me XD

Excellent service, very knowledgeable and always helpful

Nice cyclist cafe with a bicycle shop attached. Or is it a bicycle shop with a cafe attached? This review pertains to the cafe only. The cafe has plenty of indoor and outdoor space available. Service for me, at the front of the queue, was reasonably quick. However some of my fellow cyclists to wait a little while. They seem to be quite a good selection of cakes and savoury vittles. My cafe latte was good although it would have been nice if he'd been a bit hotter. My scone and cake nice but nothing special. The prices were reasonable. I'll be more than happy to return. Indeed I did return in April 2022 still the same still just as good.

Lovely coffee and food with nice cakes on display. Bike shop inside as well. Nice area outside with picnic tables.

I got my mountain bike repaired/serviced here and am very pleased with the job.

Great service from Ben. Was able to see me at short notice and do a damage report for my carbon frame. Had a coffee in the cafe whilst Ben done his check’s. Overall a pleasant experience UPDATE my bike had not been used since collection (4 months ago)from being sent away for carbon repair and maglia provided a strip and rebuild service which was covered by insurance. On pre inspection before use the gears did not function. The bottom bracket was not installed correctly. All of the inner cable liners are missing. Rubber grommet for the rear mech cable is missing. And the cable clamp on the rear mech is missing and been replaced with a washer 🫤. Not impressed….will need to strip and rebuild myself.

From the moment I contacted Katie my experience was quick, painless and first rate. My very specific requests were accommodated and met with professionalism and kindness. I arrived in the early hours and the instructions were spot on and easy to follow. The pod was well equipped, clean and smelt lovely, I was asleep almost as quick as I unloaded the car. I don't get time off often and it was lovely and peaceful here. I most definitely recommend and hope my travels bring me back this way again. Thank you!

Great, friendly and knowledgable service

Great destination cycling cafe. Good coffee and cake

Always excellent service and standards

Great cycle shop and lovely cafe. Free parking with wheelchair ramp access. Very friendly atmosphere

Thank you for a great event today. Route was fantastic and well signed. As a bonus the coffee in the cafe at the end of the ride awesome. Will definitely be back.

Outstanding service Communication, price and quality of work is just brilliant

Maglia Rosso is a cycling jewel in the Suffolk countryside. Not far from Bury St Edmunds, their lycra friendly cafe has a traditional cycling buzz - with fantastic staff and the other side has a professional bike shop, mostly Trek, good merch and quality repairs too. Worth a detour if you're nearby!

Very friendly place with Great food and staff. As a bonus it's dog friendly and has accommodation. Visited again today. Outstanding performance from Sonia and Debbie. Well worth a visit.

Clearly a good cyclist stop given the decor. Somewhat out of the way, but a pleasant drive (or ride) through rolling countryside. Hearty breakfast - great bacon and sausages. Everything else looks good to. Worth a trip out to try.

Just had a perfect cycling break at Maglia Rosso. The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable, and the cafe and cycle shop made the venue ideal for myself, though would be an excellent choice for non cyclists wanting to relax. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be on my list for another visit.

Brilliant guys, I have had a bike fit done by Matt, great investment, small adjustments made a big difference. I have also had my bike serviced by these guys again can't fault the work carried out. Definitely a cycle shop run by cyclist with a passion for what they do.

Always good friendly service and atmosphere. Great cakes and coffee

We stopped off here on a long ride From west hanningfield to eye in Suffolk . Lovely cakes and nice staff , awesome looking at all the old bikes in the ceiling

Excellent ... thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be going again.

So found this absolutely amazing little gem on park for night app, it is a cafe/shop for cyclists prominently...but everybody is welcome...there are glamping pods for hire on site also... we called them up on the day we were coming up to meet friends...we was advised that there was plenty of space to park up and there is a large field for walking a dog or two and was welcomed with a very pleasant and welcoming voice, they ask if you park overnight (which is free) that you come in to the cafe and have a drink or some food before you leave. The breakfast was absolutely lovely and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming! We was going to find another place for the second night but was so impressed with the place that we decided to come back for a second night. Fantastic little gem and cant rate this enough! 6⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐iF THEY DID IT....

Great cafe, beans on toast and tea.

Made a quick stop whilst passing through, ordered 1x maglia breakfast and 1x bacon and egg bap. A cappuccino and a breakfast tea. The bad points :-The bacon was over cooked, the eggs were fried to a crisp and yolk hard , the plate was swimming in grease . Mug of tea with bag in , and nothing to put the bag onto. Cappuccino nearly all froth. Lad serving needs to stop running his hands through his hair or wear a hat The good points :- toast was lovely , tea was hot and refreshing. Won’t return Cakes looked nice but didn’t try Lots of cyclists visiting so popular with them as a pit stop.

Got my ideal bike here, staff are accommodating and knowledgeable, just had one year service and I have no complaints. Plus there's a good cafe on site. One of two local indy bike shops which I would always try before going further a-field.

We stayed overnight in the field at the rear. 5 Acres of plot and only us there. The clamping pods adjacent looked great but weren't full. The cafe was good decent food. Closed at 16.00. Very friendly people. It is a cycling shop and hub for cyclists and seems well used. Only 4 miles outside Bury St Edmunds. Highly recommend it.

We cycled here and had good coffee and food, I can recommend the apple tart and custard 😃 Their sausage rolls are also very good

Good selection of food, friendly staff and in a beautiful area. Would 100% recommend if you’re cycling in the area

Great bike shop. Easy and effective communication and always happy to help!

I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. This is a good place to get advice and help with your bike.

Excellent hubs.clean.friendly.cafe very welcoming.

Stayed here in the camping pod and what a lovely weekend. Everything we needed and more. So quiet aswell. Had breakfast in the cafe and best bacon butty ever. Cooked just how I liked it. Staff really friendly and thank you for giving my son a candle to give to me for mother's day. Was a lovely touch

Stayed in the camping pod. Was brilliant. I have stayed in a few and this one has the edge as not many have a hob to cook on and barbecue. Also was lovely and.quiet and peaceful Was lovely and warm and son loved the play area. Also used the cafe. Best bacon butty ever. Staff really friendly and helpful. Dog friendly as well. All in all a fantastic weekend and we will be back

Just don't understand how the cafe is so bad, this could be an amazing place but let down by bad coffee and sub standard food. The flat white 😂

Had a bike fit today with Andy, really took time to find out my issues I was having and was very thorough and explained the reasoning of the adjustments he was making. Left feeling a lot more comfortable and having a test ride after the it felt a lot better and managed to get some Strava personal bests already

Tasty full breakfast at a reasonable cost, enjoyed in the garden outside, in March. The place is licensed and has enough space inside and out for visitors of all kinds, not just cyclists who would certainly appreciate this cafe.

Slow slow slow service . Poor value for money . Uninspiring. The cakes looked yummy ,but a mug of Luke warm tea and a mediocre bacon bap x2 were not at all what I expected. 😞😞😞😞😞

Great cycle shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff, fantastic food in the café.

worst food I have ever been served. Soup was so salty it was inedible, the dessert was clearly frozen industrial goods. coffee was ok. Staff was friendly though but TV was on and some horendous radio channel was playing, which didn't feel cosy of pleasant. For a bicycle-themed cafe, it is also disappointed not to have decent bike locking facilities. only a tiny cheapest of the cheap non anchored rack was available. Our bikes didn't fit in it and frankly wouldn't be safe locked to it so we ended up having to lock them to a playground pole.

It is a quite site surrounding by farms. The wigwam cabins are modern and provide everything you need, we would have preferred enough toiletries to last us our stay. The beds are comfortable. The cabins are placed very close to one another which is such a shame as you lack privacy on the decking area. Overall everything was clean and well maintained within the cabins. Site manager was very attentively and communicated effectively via text messages.

I had my 1st puncture of the year at Boxted, I thought I would be walking my bike back to Bury, but a very kind builder asked if I needed a lift and took me to Maglio Rosso with my e=bike in the back of his van,,, I did leave some money on his front seat,, When at MR they fitted new innertube in back wheel while I had a coffee and Bap.. Brilliant service, very helpful/friendly staff

Very good very nice. Clean on arrival and very cosy. Lovely location, perfect for the colder months. Comfy beds too, will be coming back next year.

We stayed here Fri 22nd Oct - Sun 24th Oct 2021, we had a lovely stay and found the key and code exactly as we were told, to pod was lovely, it has everything you need, although Campact and Bijou, I think is the word, initially though the main bed area might be uncomfortable, this was surprisingly ok. Had a Small issue with the heating, but a quick email and that was sorted out. I had also emailed prior to our visit several times regarding fire pit and BBQ hire and these were answered very promptly, Also we email regarding bedding and Towels, and again answered promptly, You have to take your own bedding and towels now due to Covid, not sure how I stand on this TBH, hotels can supply bedding, but it didnt dampen our stay. We were visiting friends in the village so didnt really spend much time in the Pod, Once we sorted the heating (user error :-( ) the pod was toasty..... had a great time and service outstanding... thankyou

Lovely location, very tasty food and good service from friendly staff.

Had a lovely time staying in the wigwam with my partner. Very nice facility that provided a comfortable warm stay. Facility was very clean. Cooking appliances were perfect for a fry up and the bbq outside is a nice option. Bathroom was nice with a warm shower. A great little staycation. Would come back again!!

Loved it great breakfast will definitely be going back awesome friendly service 🙂

Andy was so incredibly accommodating to ensure our 4 year old has a bike to ride during our stay at the Wigwam. Thanks to him we had a memorable trip cycling on the road – a first for our boy!

Very cosy and well equipped cabins

A fantastic location for any keen cyclists! The wigwams were more than we expected. 5* for cleanliness. Everything that we needed with a lovely cafe on site. A special mention to Katie for being so accommodating and always going above and beyond to ensure a...

Booked here for five days at the end of July and really enjoyed our stay.First time in a pod and was very impressed. The staff were very helpful and lovely. We will definitely be back.

great little bike cafe - really cool inside. loads of bike racks, had an espresso and a bottle of coke at a reasonable price (£3.50 for both). did food as well - little glamping huts as well on site. great lanes to ride on nearby. will definitely visit again.

Had two lovely meals on different days and they where very nice.

We spent four nights at this site and made good use of the excellent cafe for breakfast each morning. However we were less impressed with the Wigwam facility - we felt it was pricey especially as we had to take all our own bedding and...

Great all day breakfast. Elizabeth made me the best Cafe cortado I've had outside of Soho. Thanks 😊

Stopped in for an emergency wheel truing en route to Holkham Half Iron Man and they saved the day - great bike shop / service and a handy cafe next door! Lovely garden too

Fantastic cafe, fab food and service. Parked here over night in my campervan and had breakfast the next morning. 10/10 highly recommend and will definitely come again x

Top hole - opens at a sensibly early time - friendly folk and quality coffee and sausage roll

Great location for cyclists excellent cafe and service.

I was very impressed by my stay in one of the Wigwam pods at this lovely facility. I stayed here with my partner and I would say the pods are idea for couples or small families seeking a taste of the countryside/ camping experience, without...

Best bike stop for refreshment around for miles.

Superb destination ride from Colchester, 70 mile round trip. Decent coffee and bacon sarnie, good service. Lovely garden to sit in with lots of space. Hope to return soon.

As a novice/limited ability cyclist their help and advice was invaluable and despite looking the very pro specialist suppliers they are - I never felt less than a valued customer. Thanks. Now a whole new world of essential accessories beckons!

Suffolk coffee and cake stop. About 5 miles from Bury st Edmunds this cafe and bike shop was a perfect spot to relax and recharge in their lovely sunny garden. Nice selection of breakfast baps and cakes with good coffee and thoughtful staff. It’s in...

I took my road bike in for repair as I’d had a blow out. Adam was really helpful and gave me some good advice as I’m new to all this! I ended up with a another bike 😂 a Trek dual sport 1. Can’t wait to get out on it in Thetford Forest. Adam even got both bikes on my bike rack to safely transport them home. I drive a mini! Thank you for all your help and I’ll give the café a heads up too 👍

Great to be stopping there for an oat latte!

Lovely friendly staff, clean facilities and nice food! Would definitely recommend

Great cafe. Outstanding warm sausage roll. Coffee & cake very good too. Good service. As a hungry cyclist I'd have appreciated a larger portion of cake, but would be a bit churlish to knock off a star, so top marks.

Very knowledgeable people. Barry and crew always bend over backwards to help.

Great shop with experienced and helpful staff.

Considering the restrictions, it was really good.

5+ stars! Worth the 10 min drive south of town. Matt was over and above helpful in getting me back on my bike. Easily could have said no to my repairs (other shops did). I will not take my bike anywhere else. 10/10!!!!

A good selection of products in stock with a few different sized bikes to try before purchasing. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff! Also a good café with some excellent caramel shortbread :)

Great stop on your bike. Outdoor seating area with heaters, racks for bikes. Only let down is the coffee, it was luke warm. Bakewell slice very nice.

Lovely flat white and chilli jacket after roads & tracks ride 😋

A must for all cyclists to visit, brilliant shop and even better café, what more can you say!

Excellent cafe.. Friendly staff...

Excellent place to stop for cyclists. Have a covered outside area with heaters to take the edge off. Superb service from all the staff (special thank you to the cafe ladies). Everything looks really nice, very clean and well maintained. I will be back and highly recommend to those needing a refuel on your long journeys. Or a quick cuppa on the short ones.
