Looks v glamourous. Very slightly tucked away? Cafe, gallEry and workshop so spreading the client base? MBA here I come.

Emailed to point out that their postcode was wrong on the website and have been promised a free coffee :)

Looks interesting. Will definitely check it out when I'm next in the area.

They could do a show of our own Magnificent Octopus's cycling related prints. I have one, it is very good.

The coffee they are serving is supplied by the also newly opened coffee roaster across the road. It's worth popping in while you're in the neighbourhood for some coffee heaven. I'm afraid I don't know the name, we just put our heads around the door out of curiosity to see what he was up to before he opened, but he was very friendly and enthusiastic about his craft. He just sells coffee in the bean/ground state, not the liquid form, and coffee making equipment.

I'm really chuffed that more cycling related outfits are opening. Will check it out when I'm next in Stockbridge.

Well we are lucky enough to now have our own shop blend of coffee from the fantastic Mr Eion Coffee Roaster across the road from us. Pop in for a sample and see his beautiful shop at 9 Dean Park Street."

Is Mr Eion Coffee Roaster
Any relation to Mr Eoin Colfer Writer?

Popped in today when I was in the neighbourhood and able to dodge going to the toy shop with the kids. Nice coffee and Gavin, the guy who runs it, was very friendly and chatty. And he has a lovely workshop apron that I could be very tempted by if it wasn't over £200.

"if it wasn't over £200"
I think they deliberately don't do cheap -

That doesn't actually seem all that expensive to me. It's a wee bit dearer than an Alpine Bikes service (where a standard service is £55) but I suspect I'd have more confidence in them to do a good job. And no one's time is cheap.
No, the thing about the apron wasn't that I thought it was too expensive in the sense that it wasn't worth £200. I think it was. I just wouldn't be willing to pay that for an apron. I'd probably just forego the leather and get the sewing machine out.

I have sampled the coffee. It is very good indeed. Don't know about the £200 apron though ... What bike kit could you get for that!
