Bring your bike, bring your laptop and prepare to get sh*t done. Decent food and ninja baristas keep the whole of EC1 coming back for more. Good name too.
The HQ! Our original location where everything started. We’ve been serving coffee, fixing bikes, and showing Le Tour at Old Street since 2010. We’ve seen the cycling population of London boom and they always want coffee, cake and beer.

Literally amazing. I had the most delicious lunch and the venue is just really interesting. Really handy if you are a cyclist as you can buy lots of your cycling needs here and also use their track pump if you grab a coffee! :) A nice outside area too. Thanks!

This might be first bike cafe in London. I really enjoy the laid-Baird staff as well as the atmosphere when they have big screens for games. Their coffee is more at the strong side while their food offering is usually a bit heavier, great for cyclists though. Including free mags for people to collect and always open doors really makes Look Mum No Hand! feels like a meeting point of communities, such bikers, coffee lovers or craft beer enthusiasts. The only thing is it sometimes gets really packed and difficult to move even there's still tables available.

Quite a large cafe that doubles as a bike workshop although there seemed to be more non cyclists here than cyclists. The cyclists seem to loiter outside with their bikes and coffees whilst the benches inside are filled with people working on their laptops. Tables are reserved for diners but the bench seats are perfectly fine for working be there’s plenty of power points under the table top. The WiFi speed is abysmal however and a hot latte costs 2.9 pounds. There’s two bathrooms which are super roomy inside! Great atmosphere overall to work or drink. #BeatTheGrind
