Single Speed Coffee and Cafe

For 16 years, Single Speed Coffee has been serving up incredible cups of coffee in a clean, fun bike-inspired setting.

The founders had been long-time coffee roasters and decided to open up their own shop to share their caffeinated goods with the masses.

The coffee is simple yet delicious. They offer a series of custom-blended coffees with unique names such as Danger Monkey and Work Ethic. For those interested in ultra-fine grinds brewed at a high concentration, they have an espresso blend available. In addition to their balanced blended coffees, Single Speed also features several single-origin offerings including Costa Rica, Ethiopia, and Columbia. Don’t mistake their Columbian coffee for the stuff you find in the grocery store. They’re worlds apart.

There’s plenty of ways to experience the bliss that is coffee in the morning. They have several espresso beverages available including flavored lattes, mochas, and even nitrogenated cold brew. If you’re looking for a late-night treat to keep you going for the long haul, you can get a nitro cold brew ice cream float which is just as delicious as it sounds.
