Bicicletta Coffee Con Velo - Uttlesford

Popped in for Sunday brunch and wasn't disappointed . Nice atmosphere, food came promptly and was really good. I recommend the breakfast bun, it was really a treat, my wife had advacado on toast and said it was also lovely, all washed down with lovely smooth coffee. It was so good we returned for lunch!

Visited with my family today and couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable by two staff members who couldn’t keep their hands off each other behind the counter. Not normally bothered by public displays of affection however these two where unprofessionally hanging off each other. Can’t knock the food and drink, atmosphere great too! Just felt a bit awkward

We both ordered 3 cheese toasty with chutney. When it arrived it looked amazing but there was no chutney. We were so disappointed when we bit into it. The cheese was so bland with no taste at all. Service was quick and staff pleasant.

My family of four went today for brunch and most of the menu was unavailable which is fine, we chose from the few available options. We then waited for 50minutes for our food. The chef started shouting loudly in front of everyone (including lots of children and babies): “I’ve had enough of this f ing place, it’s the same every f ing week” and so on. Our food turned up eventually and it was all stone cold. The pancakes were actually raw inside and inedible. I now understand why this was the only place for food in Saffron Walden without a queue round the block. We will not return.

Despite the website saying this cafe closed at 4pm a waitress (she said she was management) tried to take unfinished teapots away at just after 3.30pm. She said the website time was wrong and they needed to close. We asked to be allowed to finish our drinks and about 10 minutes later she insisted we put our tea into paper cups and cleared our table. Her manner was really quite officious. She clearly wasn’t bothered about our custom which is just as well as we definitely won’t be returning. Saffron Walden has a wealth of friendly coffee shops to choose from.
