Found your place by necessity when I got a flat tyre on Quietway 1 thoroughly professional repair service and good coffee. I will be back!
Very friendly and efficient staff, lovely people. I d recommend the place to anyone in the area either for coffee or bike repair
Four of us from a cycling club cycled 30 miles into central London and stopped here for coffee on Sunday.
The coffee is amazing. The veggie chickpea and red rice stew I had today was absolutely incredible (recipe please?? Bike servicing also really good...
Machine bikes offers a unique blend of bicycle service and café culture, making it a noteworthy stop for cycling enthusiasts. While there are mixed reviews regarding the technical services—some customers experienced issues with brake repairs and bike assembly—many praise the staff's helpfulness and expertise. The café aspect shines with exceptional coffee and delightful cakes, making it an inviting spot to relax. Quirky décor, including barstools made from Brooks saddles, adds charm. For those seeking a cozy atmosphere with decent refreshments, Machine stands out, but caution is advised regarding technical repairs.

Following my experience at Manze just up the road, I needed a coffee and something to take the taste away (sorry, but it's true) so, having walked a long way up the road, I turned around walked back to Machine. It's a bike shop, it's a bicyle repair shop, and it's a cafe. What's not to like? What a total opposite to the lunch service I'd just endured. The guy behind the counter was welcoming, friendly and charming. The coffee was really excellent the banana cake fresh, moist tasty. I love the decor and ambiance in Machine. It never fails to cheer you up. It's a terrific idea it works superbly well.
Visit this coffee shop almost every day for a cappuccino and an almond croissant. I would say they are the best coffee shop in the area. The lady serving is always very friendly too. They also repair bicycles!
I cycle past this place on my way to work every day and finally decided to stop there to see what it was like. I ordered a large latte. And I can confirm that indeed they do a fantastic coffee. It was more like a large flat white, which for me was perfect. It's a warm cosy place, with some quirky furniture e.g. Bar stools with Brooks saddles for seats. Definitely worth stopping off to visit.
I visited Machine several days in a row on a trip to London and now that I've moved on I don't quite know what I'll do for good coffee in the morning!!
OK, this place serves coffee and repairs bicycles. It has great coffee and a nice selection of sandwiches and other small food items. Friendly service completes for a pleasant place.

Really helpful and polite man in the shop, highly recommended. My crank fell off on the way back from work, lovely chap helped me out, life saver!
Sorry to say but my experience so far hasn't been great. Left my bike to fix the brakes (disc) and charged £80, first time I went to pick up the bike (after a day late) the brakes were not working at all, the gentleman replaced the pads, but the issue turns out was with the fluid, as such I left my bike there again, and two days later picked it up, same story, not braking at all. Another day, and finally there was much better stopping power, not a wheel lock as it should, but better, at least I could stop. but this went downhill within a month , making noises and lost the stopping power again. I went to another shop which got it sorted within the hour for not even a third of the price. Makes me wonder why they don't test the things they do (not on the stand, a bike with weight has different stopping power compared with unloaded). They for nice items and selection of bikes but I don't trust the engineering side. If you don't know, they may try to take advantage of it. Not happy with the service. Meh
I had taken my bike for service before and was very happy. Today I needed two bolts to fit my frame lock to the bike frame and Russell helpful as always gave me just the ones I needed. Thanks!
Quick, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and affordable. What's not to love.
Friendly expertise highly recommended. My hydraulic disc brakes are back in action. Big THANK YOU for attention to detail and excellent bike service, as well as patient and informed customer service.

Russell went over and over the replacement of my transmission cable so that I could still do ridelondon after the load was closed. he could have refused, but he worked hard and diligent and was charming in the process. I dedicated to him my ridelondon (which went as smooth as my ultra smooth walk changed! .
Within about 30 seconds they could say what the problem was with my equipment, and gave some big ratchets over cables/tips to repair me what I did in about 5 minutes! so much experience and beats watching hours of youtube videos, thank you!
Machine bikes were there every time I do an apartment or my bike needed work. the staff is friendly, honest and helpful, recommend them and their work. thanks to all at machine for their excellent work every time!
I've only got two bike shops that I really trust. Machine is one of them. Honest and knowledgeable. And excellent coffee.
