Chain & Spoke

Chain & Spoke Coffee is an amazing coffee shop experience that I can't recommend enough. The expertly crafted Espresso and smooth, refreshing cold brew drinks are top-notch, and the friendly and knowledgeable staff make the experience even better. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with big windows providing natural light and a comfortable space for relaxing or working.

One unique aspect of Chain & Spoke Coffee is the on-site bike repair shop. This practical setup allows you to enjoy your coffee while your bike is being repaired by the skilled and knowledgeable staff. It's a convenient and fun twist to the coffee shop experience, and makes Chain & Spoke Coffee a must-visit for those who love both cycling and coffee. Overall, if you're looking for a unique and enjoyable coffee shop experience, Chain & Spoke Coffee is the place to go.

Love the space! It's modern, clean, kind of industrial, and wide open with a touch of quirkiness. We got their seasonal Cinnamon Maple Latté, regular hot latté, and a shot of espresso. Their default milk is oat milk. Love that!

Their espresso machine is shut down at 3pm every day so keep that in mind when you visit. After 3pm they offer cold brew and drip coffees if I'm not mistaken.

The espresso was fantastic! You'll first notice the bold aroma. At first glance, you'll see that the espresso has good crema which indicates that the coffee is of superior quality and ground properly. The espresso was flavorful and robust, as the smell suggested it would be. The beans are roasted nearby in Winterset. I'm always happy to support local!

What I love most is the process by which their coffee beans are decaffeinated...Banana! Ethyl acetate is a NATURAL caffeine extractor found in various fruits and vegetables such as banana. I believe the banana is used in the direct solvent method of decaffeination. A lot of you might not drink decaf, but I absolutely love coffee yet cannot have more than one cup/shot of regular espresso without experiencing some A-fib. A good decaf bean is difficult to find so I'm glad that Chain & Spoke are giving this their attention. I never trust a coffee shop that doesn't know how their beans are decaffeinated!

For non-coffee drinkers, they offer a line of canned sparkling botanical teas.

Really cool that they also have a bike shop in the back of the space. I'm not a cyclist but it's cool that you can buy some gear or have your bike repaired while sipping on a good cup o' Joe!

Add this to your list of must-tries!

Really cool space and excellent coffee. I will say that seating is a little tricky - especially for a larger ☕️ group. Definitely could use more flexible seating options - understanding that they are balancing the coffee shop vibe w/ the bike shop (& retail space) - not a huge deal, just something to be aware of for larger groups. It was very busy this morning as well...holiday for some & end of 1st week being open, etc.

Chain and spoke is so cute! I got a shot, cortado and an iced lavender latte. The total was $14.58. Honestly the coffee is totally worth the price!! The space had plenty of seating and big tables so you could do some work. The baristas and bike shop employees were incredibly nice and welcoming to all the customers. My only complaint was that the cortado was a little too hot.

What a freaking cool place! Bikes and coffee are two of my favorite things and this place does a great job combining both. Jeff is very friendly and helpful with any and all bike needs. I got the cold brew coffee which was smooth and refreshing on a hot day. Great place to come hang out with friends or get work done (even while your bike gets worked on!).

Nice coffee shop with great coffee, vibe and lots of natural light. Has outlets for working but there’s not a ton of seating.

As I'm in the architecture industry, I have a natural appreciation for spaces with good ambiance and atmosphere - Chain & Spoke certainly checks these boxes! Very cozy, and the coffee is top-notch.

I got a drip coffee to get a baseline idea of their roasts and quality, and I was thoroughly impressed. Extremely flavorful and robust cup of coffee - I will be returning very soon! Excited to see another phenomenal local option for coffee.

Superb service and coffee. We had the cold brew and flat white; both were delicious. The interior was clean and spacious with tons of natural light.

Great tasting coffee combined with a trendy casual atmosphere and top-notch service. I would definitely recommend this café to my friends and family!

Great unique local coffee shop. The owner, Jeff, is very into coffee and cycling so he brought the two things together. Stopped by for some coffee and going to be back with my bike for a spring tuneup.
