Refreshments at the Caledonian Bicycle Company, Hamilton

Just before Christmas last year a new cycle shop opened at 42 Castle Street, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. This, however, is not only a cycle shop but a continental-type café selling tea, coffee and soft drinks. It also sells food including cakes, biscuits, baked potatoes, home made soup, baguettes and sandwiches.

Owned by Kenny and Lisa, it is a welcome addition to the facilities in the town.

The shop is lovely and clean and there are cycling books for visitors to browse through, while enjoying their meals and drinks.

Cycle gear

I have been in a few times now - on my own while passing the shop and with my friend Emma. The coffee is real Italian and comes in various forms so there is a drink to suit everybody.

There is plenty of room for bicycles, prams and wheelchairs so it is possible to bring them into the shop for safe-keeping, while enjoying the refreshments.

The opening hours are:

Monday – Closed
Tuesday – 10am to 6pm
Wednesday – 10am to 8pm
Thursday – 10am to 6pm
Friday – 10am to 6pm
Saturday – 8am to 6pm
Sunday – 2pm to 6pm

The café is a great place to catch up with friends or to pop in for a drink or a bite to eat.
