Bicycle Coffee

DONT PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!! I went here to have a cup of coffee and do some work. I stepped outside to take a phone call standing in a service doorway where I was out of the rain. I was berated by an employee for smoking (I don’t smoke) I went to the owner who basically didn’t care. Irritated and aggravated I left the place. I’ll never return. I had planned on staying there and eating, but with terribly mannered employees I can’t get any work done. I REPEAT DONT GO HERE

If you live in Jack London, this should be your go to coffee shop. If you don't live in Jack London, this should still be your go to coffee shop! We met the manager while walking our dog on a Sunday morning. We went back to grab coffee and the vibe was awesome. The pastries are great. If you see the blackberry cream cheese criossant, do not skip it! we had the chicken and the chirizo empanadas. They were so good. I just wish they were open before I had to leave to for work. This will be our new spot.

I love their coffee, that’s the issue. I buy their 5lb bags, they don’t sell on their website, so I drive about 18miles to get it. There is no phone number to call before I leave. They have an email, got a response real quick. The issue, said they had it back in stock. I drove, sat in traffic, I walked in, nothing! Nothing! After they conformed. Utterly annoyed. Update: your email said nothing about having a bag in the back, your email said “IF” I had a question to find Matt, after looking for the bag where they normally are, and seeing a line of 10-12 people, and after driving 18+ miles, I had no questions, I was annoyed. In your email it should have stated “Matt has a bag for you in the back, when you get there ask for him and he will get the bag for you” that’s a clear statement, now I know what to do. That was not communicated properly.

One of our go-to coffee spots in JLS. Friendly/efficient staff, and tasty coffee. Super affordable too; Somehow still cheaper than all the big chain coffee shops. The pastries are decent, and they'll heat up the sandwiches and burritos from the fridge for you. They're always really quick with filling drink orders, even when they're packed. The bottle-neck for time is waiting for food to go into the little oven to heat it up. Cool swag in their little merch corner too.

In short: This is not a dog friendly space My dog barked and got nervous at another dog, they had me waiting inside for a longtime, and they asked me to wait outside but since my drink was as being delayed, I asked for a refund and they declined, rushing my drink and making the wrong one and also just being kicked out. I guess I missed the no dogs allowed sign bc I also wasn’t gonna let her tied outside. I love me a dirty chai with oat milk but not the customer service approach :( Apologies to whoever my dog offended with her barking - Laila is sorry too
