Velo Rapport

This new very cool and cosy cafe is up and running. Chris and Lisa are so welcoming and amazingly remember everyone’s name.Whilst the cafe is super cyclist friendly it is also perfect for locals and passes by wanting a quiet, warm space with perfect coffee, a delicious menu and mouth watering baked goods.

Great little cafe! The decor and vibe inside is absolutely gorgeous, could sit for hours studying or reading a good book. Very welcoming from Chris to Lisa to Milly, set on the local side street. The chai and all the goodies are perfect. 10/10.

Great coffee and food at Velo Espresso when you drop your bike into Velo Rapport for a service.5 stars for both from me.

Very knowledgeable on Campagnolo, high end road builds and excellent service work.

If you are looking for a reputable, skilled local mechanic to take care of your steed — Chris is your guy. He provides expert workmanship, quick turnaround times and a personal touch, something which is often lacking at the big bike stores.

Chris and Lisa have created a great little cycling inspired cafe, with superb coffee and great food.

I asked Chris at Velo Rapport in Ormond for a bike build – a new Cannondale – and he delivered an absolute beauty in budget and on time. I will be sure to go back to him for every bike service from now on – quarterly for a checkover & tune-up, Bi-annually to have major parts reassembled and the full monty to strip it bare, clean everything and build it back up. I'll also make sure I use his pre-race bike service! Chris is so friendly and helpful and there is a great feel in his workshop. Amazing customer service! (Update three months later – just picked my bike up after a 'Full Monty' service – another amazing job!)

Chris provided a great service, helping me build this custom bmx from scratch to the point of 100% ready! Couldn't be happier, especially since the workshop lets you see the steps taken. Cozy place, would be great as a cafe in the future!
