I've had a lot of coffee on the island and Handlebar is one of the best! The atmosphere of the shop is inviting and well designed. It's easy to feel like you are having coffee at home here.

Also, the staff are engaand kind. Very easy to talk to and fast! I order and I get my coffee in less than 5 minutes. It's amazing. I'm sure that time will slow down in the summer when more people arrive on the island.

I love sitting outside, they have a great outdoor seating area and it is well worth investing in the time to drink your coffee there.

Lastly, if you have a little time before getting on HyLine the shop is a quick walk away. Easy to get to, and again - fast. It took me 7 minutes to walk to the shop, get m coffee, and walk back.

I highly recommend Handlebar, check out the photos to get a sense of the space.

Best quality coffee on the island ! Really friendly people. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and WiFi if you’re looking for a nice place to hangout and write.

You don’t even need to order a latte here; the freshly ground and brewed coffee is plenty bold and delicious.

Love the place and finally amazing barista who does a great latte! (Girl with a bob hair cut). Thank you! Out of all the coffee shops on the island, here was the best one!

We took out a latte from this café. It was one of the best we've ever had. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND HANDLEBAR CAFE! Barbara

Was on a run in the intense summer heat, stopped by to ask for a cup of TAP water. Was visibly on the verge of heatstroke and dehydrated when I asked. Denied. Shutdown. The child working behind the counter said that it would be 50 cents. I didn’t have my wallet, but was otherwise outraged at the fact I would be charged for a cup of tap water. This isn’t right. I asked for the manager, at this point about to pass heat exhaustion, and was still told that water would be 50 cents. By far the most inhumane establishment. Coffee was good though.

Nice café, good coffee. We had an americano and a cappuccino. I would prefer if the cappuccino has a bit stronger coffee taste, but that might be only me.
It’s nice that there are few benches outside so during Covid you can still enjoy coffee/pastries while sitting.
Muffin and the donut twist was ok.
What is also good is that this place is not that close to the harbour so it’s not as packed as other cafés in the middle of the town.

Very calm and chill service. Cashier did not speak too fast or too loudly which can be a problem at cafes. Not a regular coffee drinker but thought oat milk cappuccino was smooth and not too hot. Only disappointment was that there were no vegan muffin options.
