Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Been there and had a latte'. Pretty good...plus the barista made a little design in the foam that was kind of cool. It works well with the laid-back attitude of the store.

And you get the subtle humor of the name, right?

I had a cup of coffee. It was hot and delicious. That is all.

They have cold-brewed iced coffee, which is the bees knees. In fact, it seems like everywhere in ATX does (IMO Spiderhouse makes the best), but I can't find it for the life of me out here. I keep asking my regular places to get on it, but they don't wanna hear. Anyway, it's a nice place to hang out. I was there during the big crit races a couple summers ago, and a lot of the team trucks came though and I scored some nifty schwag.
