Definitely a coffee shop, barely a bike shop.

Coffee was fine, but my burrito was ice cold in the middle :(

Best cortado I've had in months. I wish every place could make them so well. Love the atmosphere. Good place to do some work online. Great breakfast sandwiches.

A great spot to pick up a coffee to go or, even better, to stay and hang out or get independent work done. You don’t have to like coffee or bikes to enjoy your time there but it is extra great if you love both.

Absolutely top tier in everything they do. Have been a long time customer for their coffee and it’s one best in the metro with a great seasonal menu.

Their bike service is also great. I had them build a bike from the frame up and it was very reasonably priced with a quick turn around. Can’t thank them enough for the killer build.

New paved parking lot directly across 28th street as of summer 2025. C&S will validate parking when changes to paid lot in future, so don’t let lack of parking deter you anymore. Lattes are on par with the best coffee shops in town. Mechanics and shop owner are top notch. I was a Rassy’s refugee and found my new home here.

Favorite coffee shop for dope spro and craft beers. Jordan and Jeff run a great bike shop with amazing service.

Chain & Spoke fixed up my old school 'cross bike and added some fancy parts. It runs like new and I'm super happy with it.

Candace is a sweet angel! When my partner accidentally ate something that had an allergen in it, she went above and beyond to drive us to get Benadryl and then to the ER. She even brought our bikes to our home later. She took care of us and really made a tough situation so much better. Lovely human!
