The Bicycle Bakery

Nice friendly place to chill out in the middle of the day & have reasonable coffee and baked goods. These guys are passionate at what they do clearly. Love the little Bike inspired signs around the place.

Update 2019:
This place is clearly amazing and a gem of a find on the less salubrious side of Tunbridge Wells (come on council check it out!!). The guys here are serious about baking and making amazing sweet things - I come here every week for my fix of sourdough loaf. The pastries and cakes are amazing - I would highly recommend the cherry pie + the brownies are simply to die for!!
They also do food night's - look out for a pizza night - legendary (& it sells out fast too!!!).
Now the coffee is really good after owner invested in some training for in-house barista. They also sell really nice coffee beans from a funky place in Brighton (Pharmacy).

Super service, really friendly and attentive.

Brunch, cinnamon brioche and coffee all top quality.

It’s not that comfortable though - hard seats and a bit sparse in there.

Cycled here from London for a midway pit stop and it was amazing food. Had a vegetarian samosa and peach or apricot pastry which was the perfect mid ride snack. Pricey but defo worth it if you fancy a treat. Super friendly staff. Not much of any bike parking space is worth noting but when I went it was quiet so left bike just by a table outside.

Probably the only café serving the best coffee on Camden Road. Fresh sourdough bread freshly baked daily.. They have a team of good people who are always polite and never without a smile on their faces. Serving light lunches and a array of handmade chocolate, colourful meringue and the most delectable selection of Macorons for every taste bud.

Bicycle bakery is not a franchise. We need to support independent businesses like this. The hard work James has put in has clearly shown me that persevering in our endeavours is key to success.

Came here with a friend last week and was shocked at how rude and grumpy the staff were! Coffee was cold bread was dry was sat next to a small angry man who was making dough shouting at another man in the other area of the shop/kitchen having an argument the Spanish girl was incapable and rude and the other member of staff didn’t seem to have a clue what was going on,

Tried the garlic and mushroom pastries, they were absolutely amazing!! The flavours were bang on, and the pastry was delightful. Would strongly recommend!!

Tried a couple of coffee spots since moving down to TW. Can safely say this place has consistently the best cup of coffee in town, whether its a latte, flat white or Americano... and the pastries made on site are incredible. Nice atmosphere in the place and friendly staff. It's now my go to place. Only wish they were open on Sundays!

Wish I could give 10 STARS the bread and cakes are always fresh and wonderfully tasty, staff very welcoming friendly and always happy to explain information about the food.
But I asked for a special treat for my wife's birthday a Paris Brest which is her favourite French pastry ! Well Jamie created a most amazing yummy Paris Brest which brought back fond memories of our trips across the Channel, absolutely perfect. A BIG BIG thank you to everyone at The Bicycle Bakery all the best
