Ride My Bike Cafe in Cardiff

Lovely spot to stop for a coffee & a cake on the commute into the city centre. Coffee was lovely, service very friendly and there's a good range of bike items and reading materials on offer. It was glorious sunshine when I visited so enjoyed sitting by the sunny window.

Convenient for the national museum and such a good place to hang out, with some good food and service

Popped in for lunch - simple menu but tasty and friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Good vegitarian options

If you like bikes, this is the place for you! Themed cafe, plenty of space, charming American lady in charge. Very good scrambled eggs on toast and latte coffee. Will return!

When visiting Cardiff, you absolutely have to visit the café 'I want to ride my bike'. Just a stones throw from the National Museum of Wales it has everything a bicycle enthusiast could hope for. With a name partly inspired by a Queen song (I know because I asked the owner), the friendly staff and the totally unique atmosphere of this establishment is well worth a visit. You can pick up parts for your bicycle here or even have it repaired whilst enjoying a cake and the beverage of your choice. Even better, the premises is fully licensed so you can also have a beer or whatever your tipple is whilst eating your flapjack. Having visited this amazing establishment, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I can honestly say that I've never visited another café quite like this one. The unique atmosphere and brilliant concept of this establishment should make this place a must visit when in Cardiff. I can promise that you won't be disappointed. And when the staff members tell you to get on your bike, they mean it with the very best of intentions. This gets a top rating from me.

Pleasant place to stop for a coffee, had a lovely Gluten Free cake also. I imagine shop area would be very useful if had a bike!

Visited this place with my family. The service was awful. The worst I have experienced. I don't understand what the waitress problem was. It was like we were a bother to her. They should treat their paying customers better. The waitress was rude and dismissive. There are far better places to eat in Cardiff, ones where you can actually be appreciated as consumers.

Lovely. The people there were so nice and the food and drinks were great. It was a sunny day and they had plenty of tables and chairs too:)

Came here after getting an outrageous quote from Evans to fix my bike. Ger fixed it the same day for a fraction of the cost. Both men were very friendly and helpful, would recommend!

Me and friends came here for a drink and the lady on the tills was so lovely and accommodating and friendly. Had a very lovely time🥰🥰

If the weather is too cold for an outdoor coffee this is a great place to grab a drink if the National Museum Cardiff cafe is busy. The food options are somewhat limited but perfect for a lunchtime meal away from the crowds.

I was directed here by Evans Cycles after suffering a puncture in my mobility scooter. Arriving with a flat tyre and no means to resolve the issue, the very kind waitress gave me coffee and assembled the various bits and pieces for me to fix it. I bought a patch kit and was loaned some tools and given all the help I needed. The amazing young lady took my tube away to the sink to find and mark the leak and in 15 minutes I was restored to full mobility. Full marks for "Ride My Bike" and a whopping ZERO for Evans Cycles who could apparently do nothing at all with all their staff and workshop facilities because they didnt stock 10" inner tubes. Thanks again!

I visited this cafe last week and was appalled by the awful service I was given! The server was a young boy around 18/19, shaved head and was extremely rude and ill mannered, I’m pretty sure he went by the name “Jacob”. I will not be coming back to this cafe and I strongly advise you all not too! My drink was also poorly made.

My favourite local cafe. Always customers in but never feels too busy, you don't feel rushed at all if you want to just work on your laptop for a bit whilst you have a coffee. Nice selection of snacks & lunches, and all the cakes are amazing! Lots of bike bits and pieces for sale too.

2 Mon walk from National Museum of Wales. Great coffee and choice of home made cakes. Can watch the world go by...😃

He visitado este café dos veces y debería haberlo revisado de inmediato ya que ambas visitas la comida ha sido fantástica. Entras y parece ser un buen café con un buen ambiente, pero la comida en ambas ocasiones ha sido increíble, la papilla era la mejor. Es un lugar muy fácil para estar si estás solo y el personal es relajado pero atento. Un montón de opciones saludables para todos los gustos o opciones de vida, por ejemplo, vegetariano vegano y precios razonables. Bicicleta en espuma de café es un toque encantador.

Scrambled egg on toast absolutely awful.Service was good, coffee was good but oh the s e o t not good.

We walked to this place as their Website and Google shows they close at 21:30. Member staff said sorry we are closing now and 21:30 is the latest we open if we are busy....... No coffee for us then.

I attended a French conversation meet up last night at this café and had a great time! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. There is a great selection of soft and cold drinks and there are lots of small and large tables to suit different customer needs. There’s a friendly atmosphere and the location is very convenient as it’s just opposite the museum car park and a short walk from Cathays station!

Ambiance OK if you like cyclists pushing their bikes past you, coffee good, food OK, service just terrible. The girl on duty at midday February 17, 2019 was rude, unhelpful, impatient, passive-aggressive, and clunked plates down on the table. I'm not sure what her problem was, but why she felt entitled to take it out on the customers is beyond me. Not a cafe I'll be visiting again any time soon.

Café cálido y acogedor en el corazón de Cardiff. Pedimos unas copas y un bol de sopa con pan. Mi amigo dijo que la sopa era fabulosa, caliente y sabrosa. Gran lugar para detenerse, compré algunas piezas y piezas de bicicleta, personal amable (propietario). Wifi gratuito, libros y revistas para leer. Sin duda volvería de nuevo si vengo a permanecer en Cardiff.

I arrived at 12:30pm on a Sunday, the cafe was already quite busy. Literally, straight after I arrived, a group of approximately 16 cyclists arrived, who had a large table booked. It seemed that they were regulars, returning from their Sunday morning ride. The cafe was now pretty much full and it seemed that my coffee order got lost in the 'rush' - so I had to chase-it-up. Whilst waiting, I enjoyed looking at the cycling memorabilia, and small cycling accessory shop. A must for cycling enthusiasts.

After walking past this coffee shop many times I now feel I’ve really missed out! We’ve started going to the cafe on a lunch time to meet and unwind. They have the best coffee in Cardiff and the most delicious fresh and light cakes. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they always bring over hot drinks with a smile and in good time. The panini selection is always vast, Brie and cranberry is my favourite so far, although yet to try some! The atmosphere is relaxed and chatty but still very tranquil and a great place to watch the world go by and listen to some of the music. There’s also lots of cool cycling related artwork and I always notice something new each time I visit.

Quick trip while visiting museum. 2 tortillas, coffees and cold drinks came to £20, a bit pricey for portion size though "light lunch" is an adequate description (£4.50 for panini and there is a soup option).

Wife and I visited Cardiff and went to this café near to the National Museum. From the outside, it appears fairly small but when we entered, we were surprised at how much space there was. Plenty of room between tables and although the theme is cycling, it wasn't in your face.

......then this is the place for you

Friendly great coffee and excellent value. Just opposite National Museum of Wales. For Breakfast we had a healthy large bowl of porridge followed by good americano coffee and granary toast for £11.70 for both of us. Only one young chap serving but he danced about very efficiently and pleasantly

Cycling memrobilia on the wall from bygone Tours. Great cakes and coffee tasty. Not the cheapest but yum. Can watch the TDF live too if interested.

My new favourite place to study with a great view of a bustling city. Really lovely staff, who always greet you with a smile and VEGAN CAKES! I'm sold. Will definitely make it my regular haunt.

We were very glad that we were driven out of the museum cafe by annoying Christmas music, as we then found this lovely cafe just over the road. Strangely it is also a bicycle repair shop at the rear, but none the worse for that.

Great paninis at a great price. Really pleasant venue, and run by cyclists, for cyclists and everyone else. Has a workshop at the bike and sells a variety of snacks, drinks and spare parts. Well with a visit.

Sometimes hard to notice it as its slightly off the pavement, could do with more lighting to attract passers by. Not dark inside, actually bright and spacious. Tends to be a bit too quiet inside. Coffee and cake is ok and the staff are friendly. Bit annoyed about the free wifi as you can only log into it via a Google account or Facebook.

Popped in for a takeaway coffee; £2.30 for two inches of coffee and two inches of froth in the smallest of coffee cups. Simply not worth it.

Went here on a whim after visiting Cardiff Museum to kill some time on a day off. I was pleasantly surprised! The cafe is spacious and contemporary in design, with plenty of seating. There appears to be a working bike shop at the back of the cafe - which is a niche concept! They offer a surprising array of drinks, including some lovely craft ales and ciders as cold refreshments, and a good range of hot beverages. They also had an array of cakes and snacks. The prices were decent - I paid £2.40 for a cold drink and packet of crisps but that is certainly competitive considering the other local offerings. The cafe appears to be dog friendly (there was a beautiful springer spaniel under one of the tables) and there were kids having a great time running around and peering into the bike workshop. The cafe is wheelchair accessible with a built in ramp, and has an extremely spacious disabled toilet. The bike shop owner and cafe worker were very friendly. Really recommend this lovely place - this could be your new favourite retreat from the bustle of the highstreet, or is perfect for families to have refreshments in a chilled out environment.

Popped in at lunchtime today and had one of the best coffees I've had in a long term. Definitely the best in Cardiff. The cake looked fantastic but saving that for my next visit. Great atmosphere and pleasant staff.

Having looked at the depressing options for breakfast at the museum opposite, we came here. Newly opened, light and spacious. Just wanted something for breakfast and although the cafe was very newly opened the girls willingly obliged with tea and toast. Charming service. You deserve to do well.
