Velolife in Windsor and Maidenhead

Another day another bike ride and I am back at Velolife. Why? Simple great coffee, great cakes, great atmosphere. Just what one needs.

Friendly place with great coffee and super cakes.

Always good coffee and the staff are friendly. It gets busy on a weekend and service can be a little slow when customers stand at the counter "deliberating" on what coffee or cake they should have.

Excellent pit stop for a hungry cyclist. Very friendly staff. Order their famous toastie.

Stopped by while cycling. There are plenty of places to leave you bike. I was a bit concerned it might not be open as there is scaffolding up while they do some work. It is open though. Coffee and the ham and cheese toastie are first rate.

Serving up their delicious toasties, coffee & cakes with a friendly smile. Open 7 days. Book a bike fitting with @fittedbysam. Seating in/outdoors. Limited parking. Dogs welcome. Also at Twyford, Henley & Wargrave (temp. closed)🍴☕🍰😋🚴‍♂️🔧🐕🚗

Very nice cake and coffee on our new year cycle

Älskar det här stället. Genuin atmosfär!

First time here today. What a great café. It was very busy but the staff coped brilliantly and we hardly had to wait. The Goat cheese toastie was very tasty and the carrot cake the best I've tasted.

A beautiful secret with great cakes, sandwiches and coffee.

Excellent coffee and cakes, with lovely staff

Turned up today at 1237 looking forward to a toasted sourdough sandwich and drinks. As soo as we entered we noticed the menu boards were blank. So you have no sandwiches we asked. No, we sold out yesterday came back the reply! What sort of business is this and how many other customers turned on their heels and left! This is the third ( and definitely the last ) time we have arrived at this venue for lunch only to be told that they had no sandwiches only cakes. Your loss was Coopers at Marlow’s gain !

Of course, Velolife Warren Row is well known as a favourite stop-off for cyclists. But it is much more than just an attractive cafe as I found out this afternoon. My bike had a puncture and though I pride myself in speedy roadside repairs, this puncture was ackward. It took over an hour to get back on the road, but within a few miles the tyre was flat once again. Fortunately, I was able to limp into Warren Row for a much needed coffee. But my heart sank when I was told, there was no stock of my unusual size of inner tube. However, my luck changed : a second-hand one was found - what a relief ! And it gets better - in the time it took for me to have a second coffee, the workshop had fitted the replacement ! So it's not just delicious cakes that Velolife is good for !

On my own, on the bike and halfway through a 60 mil ride to Henley and back. Good coffees and a great toastie await visitors. Don’t forget to eat the dish of pickled vegetables - an inspired addition.

Velolife is a wonderful little place, full of charm. Delicious food and lovely coffee. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!

I’m a carer for a special group of people, we stopped here for coffee and cake, the cake was fantastic and also the coffee. I even got a heart on top of my coffee thank you for making us welcome we definitely will be back

Really good coffee and fabulous cakes. The toasted sandwiches are also very good! Staff are very friendly. They have also opened a second coffee shop on the riverbank in Wargrave which is just as good and has beautiful views.

hyped up for what? no atmosphere, by 11am they had run out of everything, no food, nothing. people raved about this place but all I saw was a shower. open for 2 hours and they have no food, total amateurs. coffee was average. I won't go back, run by cowboys, we came from Surrey as it had been hyped up. Even an idiot would send people out to buy all Tesco's croissants, clearly there aren't even idiots there. Avoid.

Delicious cakes and friendly staff

This venue has the most tastiest sourdough toasties! The only issue is that you cannot guarantee they will have sufficient if you turn up here. We visited on Tuesday arriving at 1230 and ordered 2 x ham and cheese toasties; there was no other choice. The next customers to arrive wanted to order the same but were advised that there was only one left by the younger of the two female staff members. As a result the two cyclists ordered 1 x ham/cheese toastie and one portion of sourdough with jam ( the only other choice on the menu). Minutes later another cyclist tried to order a toastie ; this time the older of the two staff stepped in and said that if the customer was prepared to wait the sandwiches were expected shortly ( clearly they are prepared off site ). Imagine the faces of the previous customers on hearing this moments having placed their order! This is the second time we have visited here bang on lunchtime to be informed that sandwiches were either in short supply or not available. As a business you need to be better prepared and ensure that your staff are consistent in the the service/information delivered.

Always excellent. Great location, lots of cycle racks, lovely cake and coffee. Friendly staff, quick service and reasonably priced.

This is a fantastic coffee shop and bike center. The coffee is amazing and the carrot cake is outstanding!! Staff are all really friendly. Whether you are a cyclist or not, give it a try. Prices are good as well and although I haven't tried them myself, the toasties look incredible! UPDATE I have now tried the toasties and they are as tasty and incredible as they look!! Coffee counter has had a refurbishment and is looking fresh. Staff are all as awesome as they have been!!

I accidentally came across this place during one of my random adventures walking around the area exploring. It's a small coffee shop for cyclists however has a good sized car park, searing internally and externally. Beautiful inside with a lovely atmosphere when busy with passing cyclists, also has an in-house bicycle repair station. Great coffee!! And very nice range of snacks and cakes, really well built, run and managed. Coming back here when I decide to take another walk in this direction. Lovely staff!

Velolife rules. We love it, it’s the best cycling cafe for miles around. The new pork toasties are the best. Top . . . . . . . !

Coffee , cake and chat outside in the current world. Sunny Sunday, so all good.

Excellent coffee, delicious toasties and cake, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus lots of bike racks.

Lovely village café. Basic seating at large tables with good coffee. Outside seating. Range of cakes and toasted sandwiches with pickles. Popular with cyclists so watch out on the narrow road :-(

We almost live at Velo Life. Yesterday was an extra delight though because the owner’s young daughter was behind the counter, serving up a storm with her warmth and gorgeous smile. Best toasties, coffee and cake in the business. And the best staff too. A lovely morning, despite the awful weather.

Great stop midway on our ride ours. Coffee is spit on and the staff are always welcoming.

Nice place, good coffee. Friendly staff

Great cakes and coffee and a make over.

Great coffee and cake. Lovely staff.

Lovely 🐐 cheese 🥪 and flat white ☕ was lovely.

Lovely cafe. Food offering seems to be just toasties and cakes but they're so good you wouldn't want anything else anyway!

This is a great cycling pit stop! The cakes are brilliant, bike racks plentiful and a great basic interior and covered outdoor space. Always a welcome from the staff.

Cycled over here as I had a few people tell me to try the toasties. Purchased the pulled pork toastie and was pleasantly surprised. Very crispy and the pork was very tender. The photos doesn't do it justice.

A regular cycling coffee stop, can’t go wrong if you like coffee and cake, or a ham and cheese toastie!

Great little country side cafe - we use when doing our Chiltern Hill walks - lovely fresh bean coffee and homemade cakes 👍

Really great food, nice coffee. Perfect for a mid ride rest stop or just to stop in for a coffee and sandwich while out and about

Great coffee and unique cakes. Try the monkey loaf, tis incredible. Prices are reasonable for an independent.

Best coffee, cakes and toasted sandwiches by far. As a cyclist have tried a lot of places in and around the Chilterns area and Velolife is my favourite. Friendly staff, great location, with a warm and cozy feel. Not only is it a fabulous cafe but also has a bicycle workshop - what more could a cyclist need.

Really nice place despite all the cyclists ;-p Lovely coffee and cake. Will make sure to turn up with more motorcycle buddies next time, y'know to even out the numbers

Good coffee, and cake! Popular with cyclists as there is a repair facility available.

Lovely coffee and cakes. Perfect bike stop.

Great venue and food but docked a point for miserable service and half filling tea pots - if i pay for a pot i expect a pot and shouldn't have to ask.

Nice selection of cakes and coffee ☕....great for cyclists

Amazing coffee and lovely staff.

Extremely clean, cosy, eco friendly and comfortable place. Was very nice to see the use of recyclable coffee cups & plates. Our barista Archie was incredibly knowledgeable & welcoming. He makes arguably the best flat white north of the equator. Overall a great experience, highly recommend, will definitely be back.

Fab cakes and snacks. Friendly helpful staff. Outside and inside seating, bike racks. Kept tidy. Excellent place to stop mid-ride.

Good coffee and cake. Plenty of outdoor space and bike racks.

Great place for the keen cyclist to visit for coffee and cake !!

Good stop for cyclists, great coffee and cakes and friendly staff

Great coffee (double espresso and cortado) and cake (lemon cake and raffaello cake), excellent service as always. Highly recommended.

Lucky to have Sam as my local bike mechanic. Knows his stuff, reasonable price, and has saved me a lot of stress. Coffee and cake is nice too.

Always great for cyclists but overrun by yummy mummies in 4x4s last time I went.

Friendly staff and great coffee and very good selection of cakes. Perfect stopover on a bike ride.

Great cycling cafe. Awesome toasted sandwiches and coffee. Will definitely be back.

Lovely location, friendly staff and nice variety of cakes and drinks aswell as other food. Great location for cyclists.

A nice place to stop when you're out for a cycle, good facilities with generally toasties and cake to fuel up on. The Latte is disappointingly small but can't comment on the other coffees available. I will certainly be calling again!

Lovely vegan muffins. It would be great if there were some vegan savoury options 🙂

Great food and a great location for cyclists

Another great stop for coffee and toastie, very good food and service, will always make this a stop if I'm in the area.

VeloLife has the best coffee and a good selection of cakes for a sweet treats. And those toasties, wow, super tasty! It's in an idyllic spot too in a lovely building with great atmosphere and plenty of outside seating. Simply the perfect place for a refuelling break during a ride with lot's of space for bikes outside, and for anyone else who fancy great coffee and cake or a really good toastie (including vegetarian options) in a lovely place.

Great, dialled in, coffee and a huge slice of crumbly carrot cake

Could charge a bit more and have ceramic plates and cups. Excellent cakes, good coffee. Strategic location for ramblers and cyclist, like me😜

What an outstanding place. Great coffee and of course fab cake. The toasties are amazing and well worth the extra pounds in weight you will buy eating one lol

Great coffee and cake with excellent people working there,Lee and Hadyn...👍...best bike pit stop in the area

I can't believe I have only just discovered this place. Visited on a Tuesday late morning and there were a good number of people here. I imagine it is quite busy at weekends. Had a decent coffee and the sweetest chocolatey - peanut buttery - thing I've ever had before continuing our ride. Lovely stuff. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great coffee and toasties, fast service and sensible covid precautions, just arrive early if on a weekend.

Great coffee, very quiet this afternoon

Great cafe, epic coffee and needed that cake. Top service team as well when I had an issue with my bike - thanks guys

Great stop for coffee cake and toasties

Great customer service and amazing selection of cakes and coffees. I tried one of the toasties, which was very tasty. The cycle racks are a nice touch. A must pit stop whilst out on the bike :)

Great spot to earn your coffee and cake 🍰 Climbed out of Henley to stop and enjoy a sunny al fresco (some tables covered) coffee and the best flapjack I've ever tasted!

Great stop over on a ride, or even just a destination. Cake and coffee what more can you ask for.

The de facto standard in bike stops. Wonderful staff

Amazing cafe and cycling workshop. Great atmosphere and cracking cake

Great cycling stop with big slices of tasty cake and good coffee.

Great cycling stop. Coffee is top class, good choice o cakes and toasties. Service is friendly and fast.

Great advice. Brought my Cannondale Superx with what I thought was a faulty bottom bracket and turned out to be just worn off pedals. Wasn't hardly charged for the diagnosis. I was advised to change, in a couple of months, chain and cassette but didn't feel forced at all. I was looking for a trusted and realiable workshop for my bikes and I have definately found it. Just need to try cakes as they look amazing! They don't charge an arm and leg and they offer great service!

Nice coffee and toasties. A bit on the pricey side but it is out in the sticks so I guess that increases running costs.

Good selection of cakes including gluten free options. On a busy cycling route so it's perfect for cyclists.

I cycle 100km return from Ealing, sometimes twice a weekend to visit VeloLife, I love it. Finally they have savoury food, the lack of it didn't stop me before but now the toasted sandwiched are a MUST. A couple of weekends ago I too my drone and "snapped" these shots.

We visited for lunch with kids as we were taking a woodland walk nearby. Outside seating was spacious, covid safe but still had a great atmosphere.. good parking for free and clean toilets. All covid precautions were met by staff and visitors. Food was amazing and they changed the kid order to suit a fussy 4 year old. Price was good for quality .. foodies will appreciate the rustic bread, quality meat and overall presentation. Cakes were really good quality .. we had the chocolate cake and lemon cake and a chocolate and banana cupcake.. all great. Coffee was fantastic. All biodegradable cups, wooden cutlery and cardboard trays. Really enjoyed with the family and the woodland walk was beautiful

This is a cycling cafe, fantastic coffee delicious cakes

Excellent coffee, amazing cakes, friendly service

Great cycling stop for the best toasties around, and the coffee is pretty good too

Great coffee and toasties. Don't even ask me about the cake!

A popular place for cyclists. Friendly staff. Social distancing is taken serious here. Cannot stand in groups of more than 2. Lots of cyclists here today as the weather was amazing.

Nice coffee doing their best on lock down, great location

Great place to stop for coffee and cake! There is an onsite mechanic

Epic toasties. Making life that little bit better with each bite 😍

This is a must. Great beverages and to die for cakes. A real boost to get you on your way

Great coffee and cakes. Food looks good as well. You can also get your bike serviced.

Best cycling cafe there is, great coffee (and tea) and wonderful food for mid and post ride.

Great cycle cafe in a lovely setting. Love to watch the Red Kites circle overhead.

Go here for the great coffee and hummingbird cake and the best toasted ever. A cyclist haven off the quiet country lanes near Henley.

Cakes are just devine, huge and great coffee too! Well worth a stop on your bike or if walking in the area

Love this place, great coffee and friendly atmosphere

For such a trendy place the vegan options were lacking, there was no vegan cake or muffins or anything. None of their toasties were vegan, it isn't hard to replace cheese with vegan cheese and make things vegan. Overall I am very disappointed. I really wanted to like this place as the outdoor seating was nice but the lack of vegan options meant I couldn't fully enjoy it.
