The Whole Family Could Spend An Entire Day Having A Blast At Cycle & Coffee Inc In Washington

I'm Dutch-American, so there's a full half of my family that practically lives on a bike. Between this heritage and growing up in the highly caffeinated Pacific Northwest, I know a thing or two about cycling and espresso. Seattle's got some incredible routes for cyclists, with the Burke Gilman Trail being its crown jewel. And just off this busy path, you'll find Cycle & Coffee Inc., a bike shop and cafe serving the best coffee in Fremont.

Though you can also access this coffee shop via Leary Way, for the optimum bike and espresso experience, you'll want to arrive fresh from the Burke Gilman Trail, which passes mere feet away. If you need refreshment on a long ride, there's nowhere better than this local gem.

On their "bike" side, they sell new and used bicycles, repair wheels on their last legs, and customize bikes to create one-of-a-kind rides for customers. If you've been hunting for a hyper-local cycling shop that runs on heart and excellent service, this might just be your place!

Even if you've got the bike, you can never have enough gear! Accessorize your ride with various items ranging from silly to entirely practical. It's a great way to personalize your riding experience without splurging on a custom build.

What about Cycle & Coffee Inc.'s espresso? This Fremont spot was actually my go-to stop for a latte when I lived nearby. Without fail, the baristas were friendly and pulled exceptional shots.

I've also dropped by for a pick-me-up while waiting for a table to materialize at the Seattle Biscuit Company, a killer breakfast spot that's just next door. If you're brave enough to hop on your bike after, a bite of biscuits and gravy here is never wasted calories.

Full of neighborhood vibes, Cycle & Coffee Inc. feels connected to its community in a way that is often lacking in today's soup of samey-samey cafes. One of my favorite details is found at the drive-thru window, where the staff have collected photographs of their favorite canine customers.

Cycling is a great way to explore Seattle, and the Burke Gilman Trail removes all the anxiety of urban riding. If you take this Emerald City route, remember to pull off for a nip of espresso at Cycle & Coffee Inc.

For the best coffee in Fremont, check out Cycle & Coffee Inc., located just off the fabulous Burke Gilman Trail. If its bike shop doesn't make you a regular, its espresso surely will.
