Thank you to Laura at Blanca bikes in parcent. I only went in for coffee, but not only was I offered a first aid kit - she then attended to me following a little slide from an hour or so earlier. A highly professional outfit. Coffee ground on site, great sandwiches and home made cup cakes. A fantastic inviting atmosphere I wish everyone at Blanca the greatest success - after my first visit ; it is deserved

This is very much a bike orientated cafe (and bike rental shop) in a great location at the base of Coll de Rate. We had a lovely coffee and scrumptious cakes. You can also top up with gels etc. Service was good and friendly.

This is a review for the bike hire, not the café. I rented a Cervélo Soloist for a week and was 100% satisfied. Blanca Bikes was not the cheapest option I had found online, but communication, delivery and - most importantly - the bike were top notch. Feedback I had was also readily taken. Looking forward to renting again on the next trip.

Finally. Speciality coffee (roasted on site!!!) and amazing cakes at the crossroads of so many good cycling routes. It’s what I’ve been missing in this area! Lots of bike racks, huge terrace, lovely staff and accept Apple Pay - a true cyclist’s dream. Would highly recommend the carrot cake.

Perfect cycle cafe in Parcent, just meters from the start of the Col de Rates climb. Great coffee. The cakes also looked great but we didn't try them (yet !) ... next time. I needed to fix my broken chain and the on-site mechanic couldn't have been more friendly or helpful ... many thanks !!! They also rent bikes ... they seem to have a fleet of brand new Cervelo bikes with Sram e-tap 12 speed groupsets. We saw loads of guys on these snd they said they were great bikes
