This Coffee Shop belongs to the category of Coffee shop.
Fabulous staff, fun events, welcoming atmosphere, and bikes to your heart's content. Oh, and the coffee is some of the best I've had. Give the cortado a go, it won't disappoint.
Great coffee, comfortable, casual and relaxed atmosphere, with incredibly lovely staff. It's an all round great coffee shop.
Would like to stop on for a break
Excellent coffee, sweet folks, knowledgeable bike experts. What's not to like about it? They're great.
Coffee and bikes. Great combo! They make a great mocha!
Enjoyed the coffee; friendly staff
We were riding by on our bikes and had a few hours to kill before catching the train. Caleb came out of the shop to say hi and check out our touring set ups! Super friendly staff, great space and delicious drinks. Caleb chatted with us about the coffee, bikes, and the nearby area. All in all, would highly recommend stopping by here!
Unique spot. Visited while in town for a bike race. Great service, loved the seating that was open to the outside. Licensed place, but appreciated the selection of sparkling tea and other non-alcoholic drinks. Only wish we had made it earlier to try some of the sandwiches!
I've enjoyed some great macchiatos while dropping off and picking up bikes for service. Coffee was great and the work done on my bikes has been top notch. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nice vibe.
My family and I loved going to the Brake Room when we lived in Belleville. We'd always biked there as much as we could. Adam always makes everyone feel welcome and I would highly recommend anyone visiting Belleville to stop by.
Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff with overwhelming knowledge of coffee and bikes. Quality everything: service, product, experience.
My favorite place to hangout - great people - great coffee !!!
Relaxed and friendly local shop where I stop for my oat milk cappuccino before heading to the dog park with my bff (best furry friend). The peanut cookies are delish with crunchy salty peanuts on top. Well worth a visit, even if you aren't bringing a bike. They also support local businesses such as Dahlia May's Flowers by providing space for her flower CSA as a pick up/purchase location. Eco and fair trade minded as well.
Came here to work for the morning and absolutely loved the vibe, not to mention my latte! Will be back.
Great shop with a selection of fresh local coffee, baked goods, and a ton of cycling knowledge.
Fantastic experience with the bike shop getting our winter trainer set up. Caleb is the man! I had just purchased a TacX Neo 2T and totally goofed the initial setup, Caleb very generously helped fix the setup issues, explaining everything at each step. He was very knowledgeable in bike trainer sizing and did a great job setting my wife up with her own saddle/post. My wife grabbed us coffee from the cafe during our fitting session and it was really good. 10/10 recommend coming here for any biking questions or equipment needs! Thanks again to Caleb for doing such a great job setting up our trainer.
It's my favourite hot chocolate in Belleville - I love the foam on top. The staff are super nice. I took my grandma there and now she loves it there too. She likes the healthy delicious food
A breathe of fresh air. I was so pleased to discover the Brake Room! Amazing customer service! A beautiful coffee shop and lisenced craft bevies!?! Wow! Best of all, experienced bicycle experts giving friendly advice to all levels of cyclist. I brought a friend who was new to cycling and he was treated with respect and given excellent product advice. Elite service without the attitude! I love it! Thanks guys see you again soon!
The best coffee.. the best people... the best food ❤
Great shop, love the atmosphere! I got a quick bike tune up and had a coffee while I waited. Thanks to Caleb for fixing me up!
A new coffee shop in Belleville that isn't a big chain. Created and run by a couple local bike and coffee enthusiasts, it has a really great atmosphere. Very freindly and has a really nice vibe that that Belleville has needed for a long time. Definitely go check it out.
Great coffee but even better hospitality
I can't say enough about this place; they're so kind and friendly but most of all: their coffee is amazing! I especially liked the oat milk cortado. Heaven. Thanks! PS Also: thanks for being so good to my puppy!
Stopped here recently on a drive out east. Yummy breakfast burritos, baked goods and Pilot coffee. Will definitely make this a regular stop for trips to PEC, and Que/eastern Ont. Bike shop looks awesome.
Always the best service. Adam knows his coffee and his bikes. Take my son there all the time to hang out. Treats my son (11) like he is family. Highly reccommend.
Awesome atmosphere, Awesome people, Awesome coffee.
I ride here on my longboard in the summer just to get some hot chocolate. It's so good and the place and the employees are so nice. If I need to tighten something on my board I can use their wrench and talk to them about longboards. They always play good music and are really nice I recommend it to everyone and they all love it
Excellent 3rd wave coffee and extremely friendly service. Loved loved loved our visit!
Awesome concept with great tasting coffee brewed with 'passion'; combine this with the same passion for matching the right bike to the right person then I think the Brake Room is a winning mix of goodies not found that often! The good folks of Belleville are fortunate to have such a great new spot.
Been twice now, plan to go more often but live a little out of the way. Initially the coffee is a little expensive, especially for Belleville, but it is very much worth it. I expected a good cup of coffee and was still quite surprised how good it is. I think the biggest sell, though, is the Bike culture they're creating. I love the shop/coffee shop idea. I've said for ages that Belleville needs more good coffee shops and more of a bike culture. These guys hit both points. Fabulous.
Excellent latte, super friendly service!
My favourite place for a coffee and a chat, I love the community they have created there ... even if you do not own a bike
Exceptional coffee experience. It reminds me of the old Coffee Connection in Boston, Mass., but on a smaller more intimate scale. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. When business is conducted in a positive personal manner, everyone wins. Vive la qualite!
Great place to take a brake , they also have some good longboard accessories!
Love our Sunday morning drop in. Great great coffee and laid-back staff make for a very pleasant visit every time. Also love the gluten-free baked treats.
Very cool spot, extremely unique as they blend a bike shop with a rustic cafe. Environment is great , only thing is I ordered a dark roast and got a very long espresso? Otherwise top-notch, especially for a small-town like Belleville.
Love the concept and the people involved. The coffee was great.
Spectacular coffee, good food, good music, great people.
The friendliest of staff along with a great place to chill and enjoy any of the tasty beverages and or treats.
I have been to The Brake Room a few times and will now visit more often. I love that the Pair at the counter were cheery and friendly. I asked for a coffee that they did not make but was quickly offered something similar and it was just as nice. I look forward to visiting again. Cheers.
Great coffee, baked goods and some cool bikes!
Great and friendly service!
Where do I start? 8 months ago I came to the shop to look at a used road bike Adam had for sale.We'd never met before. I explained what I was after and rather than selling me the bike he talked me out of it. Numerous emails, texts and visits (including Caleb dropping what he was doing to help me with my other bike) later I have a shiny new Big Rove steel frame and couldn't be happier. Adam spent at least an hour with me on purchase day fitting it and making sure everything was dialed in. As Adam would say ... pure bliss. Adam , Caleb and Laura you rock. Lovely people , great service and value .... oh yeah , the coffees good too. Thanks much Jeff
Whether going in to grab a quick coffee on the go or staying a while to do some work, I love the great vibe, interesting conversation and outstanding coffee! These guys love and live coffee and bikes.... a truly wonderful combination!
Went for advice on a bike rack and salesman was very informative and took time to explain the options and even show us an example of his own personal equipment. Fantastic no pressure sales.
Great coffee, great atmosphere, good stock of Bike gear, and above all fantastic staff...who take the time to learn your name and really care. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
Iced latte. very good. great combo of bicycles and coffee. Heaven
First visit to The Brake Room was lovely. Adam was behind the bar and pulled us a couple of lattes while chatting about the shop. Will definitely be back when in town.
Great atmosphere, kind people, Pilot coffee. Not much more you can ask for in a coffee/bike shop. Highly recommend if you: a. like coffee b. like bikes c. like nice people
Great Coffee, and healthy food and snack options.
Caleb is an Amazing when it comes to biking! He knows biking and gives you the information to you in novice terms. I understood everything and he took the time to review with me the details. I left there confident that I could ride and I would not have troubles along the way.
Pairing coffee with bicycles is thinking out of the box and is most welcomed to the old stale Belleville mindset. The Brake Room is in an envious location. You'll know that it was a garage before you walk in but the garage bay doors open up giving a every welcoming space. I had a wonderful latte and I look forward to the sweeties from the county. The Brake Room is a unique place and this is what Belleville needs. Keep it fresh and unique and the people will come.
This is my #1 spot in town for coffee and bike maintenance. Great staff!
An amazing place for business meetings! We really enjoy the atmosphere and vibe of the place!
best coffee in a 25 km radius- by faaaaar! :-)
If you love coffee AND you love cycling, this is a great place to indulge. Actually, you don't have to love cycling....but, it wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings if you did. Great treats, too!! BTW, they serve Pilot Coffee....very smooth stuff, it is.
The coffee was really good and the people we're very nice, they even had of oat milk for my latte :)
This was the best customer service experience I've ever had. Grace, Caleb, Adam, and Will and the other guy I never had a chance of talking to, you guys are awesome. You guys are passionate people who work hard towards something that you love. I can't thank you guys enough for everything that you did towards my bike. Now I have an awesome commuter that I know from A-Z. If you're looking to get into cycling Adam and Caleb will fit a bike to your needs and not fit a bike to you. Thank you Adam and Caleb, I can't thank you enough.
Coffee meeting with friends. Great service.
Love The Brake Room! Great coffee, friendly faces and awesome vibe! I’m there several times a week. Favourite Drink: Vanilla Latte I also highly recommend checking out the Sunday brunches - menu usually has a theme, fun with unreal flavours!
This is a cute little coffee shop near downtown Belleville they are also licensed. They have a specialty drink menu as well as food. They source a lot of the food and alcoholic beverages locally which is awesome. They have free wifi. It's an ideal place for cyclist as they service and sell bicycles. I mainly go there to get my haircut on either Thursdays or Fridays as the @travellingbarber makes a stop there on those days. Tiff is an awesome barber and I highly recommend her.
Super cool concept for a bike shop/cafe
Sweet espresso. Great environment to relax, have business meetings or catch up on work. Plus super duper bike culture store and repair. And...pop up food, beer, wine weekly. A necessity for the burgeoning cosmo-country culture in the region. Belleville needs this. Thanks Brake Room!!!
Friendly folks! Knowledgeable about bikes, coffee and more. Well worth it.
the hot choclate there is the best i've ever had and the coffee tastes good and i;m a kid and i still like the coffee and it is nice on the inside it is crazy what he can do he can make custom bikes that just fit you and the way you like the bike the colours the handle bars wheels the frame and brakes custom everything cant wait for it to open
The Brake Room has it going on! Whether it’s bike sales or service or some quality java, Adam and his crew make sure you’re well looked after and never rushed. Job A1!
A mean cup of coffee, and owner is quite engaged with the pulse of the community. A lab for bikes where an engaged mechanic that custom built my ride to suite my needs. It's quite the beast, love it.
An example of when passion pays off. I plan my trips across ON to ensure I get there on the way.
Awesome service. Thanks again Adam and team.
Amazing atmosphere, personable and brightly spirited staff, and top-notch coffee. One of my favourite places in Belleville... Maybe even the entire Bay of Quinte Regions. Keep up the amazing work.
Always friendly Always great coffee Always cool bikes Always great service Always new things happening Always fun to hang out Always recommended
After reading all of the positive raving reviews, we were excited to come here and pick up lunch for our trip back home. The employees were so pleasant and recommended a Buddha bowl and eggplant sandwich. Unfortunately, once we decided to try our highly anticipated delicious lunch... it was inedible. The ramen noodles and pakoras were horrible and tasted like rubber. The bread tasted like plastic, the eggplant was mush.... so disappointing. I think The Brake Room is probably a fabulous place to have a coffee and get your bike serviced... perhaps even the baked goods are ok..... but the raving reviews are certainly not reflective of the quality of the food. One of the worse lunches I have had.
This is a GREAT place to have a personally brewed cup of coffee while you hang out with your local buds.
It was nice we just went there to check out bikes
Great Coffee, Great Staff, great vibes!!! Steller, knowledgeable staff who get the bikes on the road and teach you along the way. Great snacks and sandwiches!!!
This is my go to cafe in Belleville. The quality is so incredible and the staff is always friendly! Their sandwiches are delicious. I'm super happy they have vegetarian options- Just be sure to go early as the sandwiches tend to sell out fast around lunch! Worth popping in nonetheless!! Thank you The Brake Room!
The reviews did not disappoint. This place is fantastic! And their choice of coffee roasters is the best we’ve found in Ontario. Not to mention the delightful treats available on the side! We loved our while experience. Great service, great atmosphere (even on a rainy day), and great food and drink!
Great Coffee and excellent emergency bike repair service by Caleb. We got in trouble while on our bike ride from Toronto to Montreal and had to make a pit stop at The Break Room. Caleb took care of us with a smile! Many thanks and definitely recommend
Was visiting some friends in Belleville and they instantly took me here to get a coffee. I can' t tell you how amazing the guys here are. Adam was really welcoming and their coffee is delicious. The time and effort they go to for procuring the right coffee is appreciated and noticed. Secondly, I had my bicycle with me and being a novice cyclist I had some questions. They took the time (almost an hour) to give me a tutorial on basic bicycle care, including a few tips on how to change a tire in a pinch etc etc. I couldn't have been more appreciative. You can tell they are truly passionate about what they do. Between their delicious coffee and their friendly environment, this place is a true gem in Belleville. I've been ranting and raving about it to all my friends who pass through ...keep up the good work !! Will definitely pass by when I come back.
The coffee place to be in Belleville! They are also the best friend to your bike :) Friendly baristas will serve you very good coffee and other hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and snacks as well as beer and good foods on Friday evening in the winter months, doughnuts on Saturdays and brunch on Sundays - most of those foods and drinks are rather local and definitely delish. The owners and their employees will chat with you and will make you come back! The place is 100% children and also dog friendly.
So friendly and accommodating! Had a great matcha latte. Thank you!
Great vibes. Great bikes. Great people. Great coffee! Go here!
The Brake Room is exactly what I expect a good, community staple to be. The coffee is delicious! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The space is very warm and comfortable. I have been going here every time I am in Belleville.
You people are 100% human being and you cappuccinos are 100% yummy!
Adam is always very welcoming and knowledgable. Great coffee and products. ????
This has quickly become my go to location for coffee or other specialty drinks. Almost always get a mocha which I recommend. They also do bike repairs, and I think they sell some as well
Nice coffee on a wet day and although we didn’t have our bikes with us it was great to be met by obvious enthusiasm for cycle touring. Hope to see Caleb in NZ one day.
Unique atmosphere, great coffee, excellent service! Must go!
The Brake Room is a fantastic place to grab a coffee, have a quick healthy snack, get your bike repaired, or hang with friends. They always make me feel welcomed and appreciated. And the lattes are always made to perfection! Thank you to Adam and the team at The Brake Room!
These guys know bikes; and coffee! Brought two commuters to Caleb @ The Brake Room for a tune-up...I'm now recommending The Brake Room to everyone who will listen. Not only did I pay a very fair price for the work he completed, he also gave me a mini-tutorial on some basic adjustments I could do myself. Caleb is clearly passionate about bikes; and coffee - he knows how to brew a great cup. The Brake Room is a reminder of what great local business can be - and why we need to support them.
Next level knowledgeable about bicycles. And geometry and all that. Like crazy talk. And also just rad dudes. Super great service, and also great stuff. Also perhaps the best coffee I’ve had since the beginning of the pandemic. Chocolate rice crispy things also off charts. What more could you ask for in a bike shop?
Friendly staff. Delicious drinks and food. Relaxed vibe. I love coming here :)
Reached out to the gang on Instagram mentioned I wanted to change up my drivetrain, I sent on a couple of pictures and they said let’s do this and that obviously in greater detail. The knowledge and professionalism is amazing , I’m very happy with the conversion and the changes made to my mtb. I would 100% recommend you to go to the brakeroom for bike work / parts / shopping and they make a tasty little number called a flat white ⚡️⚡️ -pm
Love the coffee the staff is amazing
My second visit (I stop in once in a year when I am in the city) and it was fabulous. Highly recommend.
The Brake Room is a great addition to downtown Belleville. I can't speak for their bike services, but on the coffee side they've got it going on! Great coffee; always fresh, lots of options, and always perfectly prepared. My one wish is that they start doing their own cold-brew (or even just keep a big jug of brewed coffee in the fridge) as at the moment it only comes in cans. Otherwise the place is fantastic! The staff are all very friendly and super quick and the shop itself has a nice, relaxed vibe with both inside and outside seating. Definitely recommend it to locals and for anyone visiting.
Great coffee and really lovely staff!
Hands down the best coffee I’ve had in Canada. And an awesome bike shop!
Great coffee
Kino Spin Club at the Brake Room, virtual cycling class, great workout, great people, Adam & Caleb
Great atmosphere...not to mention spectacular drink choices! Fun concept and a must try!
Best coffee in town!
Absolutely the best latte and hot chocolate ever! And cool bikes never hurt either. :)
Stopped in looking for bike advice. As always I received information above and beyond what I expected and friendly service as well. Highly recommend.
It’s a good thing we don’t live close by. All of my money would be spent on those amazing cappuccinos!
Cool spot in Bellville. Owner is very nice and coffee is on point.
Great space with wonderful, knowledgeable people.
My favourite place to go for a coffee and oogle some beautiful bikes! The staff is super friendly and personable, and their coffee is amazing as well! Adam is my favourite Barista, hands down!
it is different the sign is catchy would definetly go again great experience
Friendly service, great espresso, ample seating.
Excellent coffee and snacks. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great experience every time I go here. I've gone in for a quick coffee fix, hung out with friends and also to work. Great place!
I brought my fat bike in to get an issue looked at. Adam did a very thorough diagnostic of my bike and emailed me with what was causing the problem. He provided 2 solutions to fix the problem as well as costs associated for each option. I decided on the option that he recommended and he went ahead with the repair. The bike was completed in a timely fashion and I'm very happy with the results. I highly recommend the Brake Room for all your bicycle repair needs.
I’d stopped into The Brake Room for their great coffee a few times before, but only recently decided I wanted to seriously upgrade my old bike. I paid a visit to the bike shop and am I ever glad I did! I’m a relative newbie to the world of more advanced bikes. Adam really took the time to find out all about what I was looking to do with a new bike (distance, terrain, what kind of trips, how much stuff I’d be carrying, etc.) and helped to direct me to a couple of different bikes that I then test rode, and found the perfect match. He also helped me out with a comprehensive bike fitting, and the rest of the team were so friendly and helpful, too. Literally no such thing as a dumb question for them, which I really appreciate. I learned so much from speaking to Adam and team. I am so pumped to hit the road with my new wheels!
The only place I get coffee in Belleville. You can always expect friendly faces, beautiful plants and delicious beverages. Thanks Brake Room!
Just fantastic.
The Brake Room is fantastic. As soon as you walk in you feel the great energy in the place. The big bay doors open up to create lots of open air and a refreshing feeling, the coffee (and cold brew!) Is fantastic.... It's a unique place that no one should overlook. Filled with wonderful people, originality and a passion for what they do.
Great stuff, great people
Great Coffee, Great Service and fantastic environment for my morning meeting!
Always love heading into The Brake Room! The espresso is excellent and the staff are super helpful, whether you need your bike tuned or a little caffeine boost! Keep an eye for their special events too! Saw Autobahn there last weekend and it kicked! The venue is super unique and the crowd was a great mix of folks. Welcome to the neighbourhood Brake Room!
Convenient corner... had high hopes when we purposely drove here!! Tried to buy tires and shorts. No stock on the shorts, and waited forever for tires and decided that they forgot about us... so we left. ???? Where is a good store in Belleville? We need new bikes, tires, gear, apparel... but we also need service from a helpful person.
Awesome service, Great Bikes. If you are used the way coffee is prepared in big cities, I can Guarantee The Brake Room will not let you down. Try the Aero-pressed coffee for a change. It doesn't need any cream or sugar, it's great on its own. Cappuccino's are to die for! Reminds me of the coffee I had in Cuba.
Went with my brother after his bike got tuned here because we thought it wouldnt shift, turns out that we just didnt understand how shifting worked and they explained it. Unluckily the bike chain messed up a block down the road and when we took it back it they fixed it. 5/5 great service they do a good job
Idle Wild was amazing!
Friendly, personable staff who make the slightly higher priced items worth going for.
Best coffee. Friendly service.
Love this place. Adam was extremely nice and makes an amazing cortado. I definitely recommend!
Friendly staff. I was there for a coffee meet up so I cannot comment on the bicycle repair side of the shop. The place was clean but the cafe seemed over priced.
Been a long time supporter of the team here. Always a good conversation, hot beverage and some nice atmosphere. Highly recommended to come visit!
Love love LOVE the place !! Awesome coffee...awesome local beers... amazing Friday Nigjt Bites !! ..and the guys are so cute too !! Adam and Kaleb !!
Awesome place to hang out and grab a coffee. :)
It is hard to accurately describe how fantastic The Brake Room is. Their customer service, knowledge, coffee and professionalism knows no bounds. It is always refreshing to see how much care they put into understanding their coffee, the process and how to pull the perfect shot for whatever you drink. Not to mention their incredible bike service, repairs and fitting. They care and they are damn good at what they do. Whether you are stopping in for a quick espresso or getting fitted for a brand new bike, this place treats you like family.
Amazing coffee, great vibe, but most of all, spectacular service. Out of all the places we have been to in PEC area, our barista offered the best service from bringing us books about bay of quinte to telling us his thoughts on the festivities. Definitely worth the drive to get here. Also they have amazing soda.
Very cool spot. Great coffee and great bikes.
Amazing coffee! Super kid-friendly! Great spot!
Cool place and very good latte although little pricy($10for two medium lattes).Staff very nice.
Tuned my bike beautifully for a 5 day 300 km tour on rail trails between Napanee and Ottawa, including two days touring the paved system within Ottawa. Specialized tires, grips, pedals, all round clean and tune, good tire pressure recommendation. Made all the difference as the intense heat and humidity made each day an interesting challenge while carrying camping gear and extra water on trails that changed from smooth to rough, often. Thank you for your part in a wonderful trip.
Friendly environment and staff, and quality caffeine!
Too many good things to say about this place. You'll never touch sterberks again.
To start off.... My drink was very good. Very very good. However, I am very put off by the pricing. $7 for a beverage is even more expensive then Starbucks...... even after factoring in tax ($5.65 vs $7) and the Grande at Starbucks is larger than the medium I received. Sure, this drink was better than Starbucks, but not worth the $1.35 more and 4-6 Oz less of fluid. They state taxes and tips are included on their menu. I’m sorry, but when did tipping become mandatory? A tip is something that is voluntary, and totally dependent on the service and experience I received at that time. Lots of things deserve a tip. Some things don’t. I should be allowed to decide that for myself. A shame because the coffee was tasty..... but I won’t be returning because that policy is against my principles. A tip should never be mandatory. I worked in the service industry for 7+ years, including an espresso bar very similar to this one as my first job and I still hold this opinion. The service was friendly. The coffee was tasty. So go there and make up your own mind. Maybe you won’t care about it as much as I do but I think mandatory tipping is unethical. If a tip is mandatory then it’s no longer a tip, but part of the price.
This cafe was an amazing experience. Incredibly friendly and well deserving of your business, can not say enough good things about this cafe, I will most definitly making this cafe a regular stop.
easy...comfortable...always a pleasure to go for a meeting, some solitude, a quick snack or just to chill! the people make it the great place it is! great team all around!
Such a cool place to go with friends and have coffee or a beer
Great place to hangout, have a healthy (or sweet) snack, and get your bike tuned up. Keeps me coming back.
Best new bike friendly cool vibe cafe in Belleville. Great coffee, wholesome snacks, good tunes, plus lots of bike parking.
Best espresso in town.
Unfortunately I don’t live in Belleville, but if I did The Brake Room would be my favorite cafe in town! I’ve been here twice now and always make a point of stopping by when we’re in town. Great coffee, great treats and the best staff! They also make amazing Cortados too… probably the best west of the rockies.
Such a cool spot, love their selection of local beers. Apparently they have stuff with bikes too. Haha
Best coffee shop in Belleville, my favourite weekend spot!
This is the sort of place that I look for when travelling. It is essentially that good coffee is made and the environment is welcoming. The Brake Room delivers, and if you need anything to do with bicycling it’s a great place to be. Delightful!
So gracious. I'm thrilled to have an actual coffee shop in Belleville. Brought my laptop and got some emails off for work while sipping delicious latte, munching a yummy healthy snack, and enjoying the friendly vibe. What's not to like?
Friendly staff, great experience today! The hot chocolate was tasty and the Chicken Galambos Wrap was amazing. Will definitely stop by again when I’m in the area.
Great spot. A different and fun ambiance in a working bicycle shop. My Matcha steamed with coconut milk was delicious.
Love that they have pilot coffee, and sell the big bags. Food is pretty tasty.
Who doesn't love a bike shop / coffee shop combo? This place is great.
Best dirty chai latte. Fun service. Bike mechanic has a killer smile. 10/10 would make inappropriate jokes here again.
Very friendly and knowledgeable owner.
Great atmosphere, amazing coffee, great service, an awesome place to go and relax with friends!
Love, Love, Love the oat milk latte! ☕️
Easy-going, smiling staff. Lots of plants. Great coffee and local treat options- tofu salad was amazing :)
Amazing ownership and staff! Quite possibly the best black coffee I’ve ever had! These guys and gals don’t mess around on quality whether it’s fixing your bike, helping you find something new or if you’re just in the mood for a beer at a chill spot with a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!
good atmosphere, original idea 10/10 coffee
Had a blast !
great atmosphere, dog friendly, yummy coffee, handsome gents ????
Very friendly people there. And absolutely the BEST coffee!
Hard to say anything new after scrolling through all the complimentary comments already posted. I'm just delighted that a young, energetic crew have started up biz at the corner of Dundas and Pinnacle... a great addition to a steadily building Belleville renaissance!
Best coffee in Ontario. Pilot coffee from Toronto is used here. The owner Adam is very friendly and approachable. Any bike needs can be handled at this location from regular yearly maintenance to buying the right bike for you. Every staff member here makes you feel right at home. Local craft beer is available here as well as some fantastic food. Peanutbutter cookies are awesome. If you have a Tesla you can charge your car here as well. If you have not made your way in to this place you are missing out.
Helped a weary tourer, well earned rating.
Cozy place that offers great coffee and beverages as well as bike maintenance and tools. Owner is a great guy who is super friendly. Great part of our community and supporter of all things local.
I love the atmosphere of The Brake Room, the coffee is excellent.
Had a coupla cuppas there last week and loved the coffee, the shop and the vibe of the place. Also a bonus they serve top-notch Pilot Roasters Coffee! Loved it!
Awesome experience. A very good friend of mine recommended to get my new bike at The Brake Room. The interview (fact finding) with Caleb was fun and educational. This guy knows his stuff. We pre-selected three different suitable bikes for my needs. In the evening I was re-thinking and had additional questions about it, and he came up with another bike to choose from. He was very helpful. In the end I choose a Kona bike and I truly enjoy it. Kudos also to Adam and everyone who serves their great espresso and coffee.
Fun, great food, and friendly staff who care about providing a community-based atmosphere.
Best lattes in Belleville! The team is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. The Brake Room has a great atmosphere and is always hosting unique events.
A nice addition to the Belleville coffee scene. The location is very nice.
This bike cafe is one of the nicest in Belleville. Great coffees and get your bike fixed at the same time. Coffees are a bit more than other cafes, but they are some of the best coffees, worth it for quality. Very well done with the coffee and bike mix! Love sitting at the open window bar, like sitting outside. You dont have to take a in a bike, in order to have a coffee! A great cafe in Belleville.
I'm new to cycling and was unsure of what I needed, so Adam took the time to understand my needs and helped me pick out a great bike with all the accessories I needed. After the first 5 minutes of riding my new bike back to my house, it got a flat tire. Adam personally came to pick it up and had it ready to go in the morning. Now that's customer service! Oh, and great coffee too.
Great coffee, great service
This place is a gem! My new go-to any time I'm visiting the in-laws out this way. Third wave coffee, with a tempting selection of beers in the cooler. An oasis in the desert!
I've been here a few times now. Love stopping in after riding Picton to Belleville. Really dig the open air seating. The coffee is excellent.
Very knowledgeable about bicycles, and helped my purchase by explaining many of the nuances behind two very similar looking models. If you are looking for great customer service and someone who really knows what they are talking about, give this place a hit! Oh, and their coffee is excellent.
Adam, Kaleb and Grace make this place really hospitable to new customers and returning ones alike. Apart from their bike sales and repairs, the coffee is very high quality and they're one of the only few spots to give you a choice between raw sugar and xylitol which, bring a dentist, I recommend to my patients myself. Their GINGER COOKIE is amazing and so is their SPICY PLANTAIN CHIPS.
Best Chi Lattes in Belleville. Friendly, welcoming and good music which gives it a great atmosphere.
Best coffee in Belleville, and a very friendly staff!
The Brake Room is a great, relaxing place to go have a coffee and just hang out. Good people and good coffee. A great addition to Belleville :)
I go here every time I pass by for coffee. It is delicious you can’t go wrong. Not sure what to order? Just let them make you something - there’s no losing! I also just had an appointment to get a bike. Best experience ever. Felt very catered to my needs and what I’m looking for! We’re coming up with a game plan to get me the perfect bike and I am so excited. Very knowledgeable and friendly and just lovely over all.
coolest beers, dank coffee, spicy bikes and lovely people.
At the risk of repetition, here goes...Needed a new tire during a tour around Lake Ontario. Caleb the bike mechanic at the Brake Room agreed to take care of it after hours for us. He was warm, friendly and full of fantastic information. Cyclist passing through Belleville might want to note this place down. A real gem.
Always have a great experience at the Brake Room. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and yummy drinks/food!
Great coffee, great service, and more importantly fantastic people!
Fantastic coffee. Worth the drive down from the 401.
I ordered a Chi Latte, it was amazing. Thanks
100% essential stop whenever I’m in Belleville. Great crew, great coffee, great advice. Try the oat milk!
What a find! This place has phenomenal coffee and an incredible atmosphere. They serve Pilot coffee and the barrista makes a killer cappuccino. Thank you Adam for an incredible experience!
Wow, this is THE SPOT. Amazing coffee, incredible staff and wow.. the food. Seriously, try the Blume Lavender latte and/or the espresso based drinks. Thank you for blessing my tastebuds.
Always a very welcoming and casual environment. Healthy food and great coffee ????????
Adam and the team at The Brake Room are amazing! I just picked up my new bike today and it is fantastic. Adam took the time to fit me for the right bike. The atmosphere is super friendly and the coffee is excellent.
All the good vibes you need.
If you want to surround yourself with all around great people, delicious drinks and yummy food, the Brake Room is the place to be! The staff has created a welcoming space which has quickly become a pillar of our community. A true breading ground for anything positive. I’m pretty sure they give hugs are free!
Great coffee and people.
Friendly staff and owners who are looking to help grow the active transportation community and movement. Very knowledgeable and helpful about coffee and biking. Not looking to make a quick buck; they legitimately want what's best for their customers. Cheers!
This is a great coffee-bike shop. Enjoyed an Americano and had my brakes and gears adjusted by Adam. Thanks so much!
Great service and very friendly with positive vibes
Coffee was great and I got to check out bike stuff at the same time. I like that combo
Yummy cappuccinos and lattes ! Staff is always friendly and ready for a chat about bikes or travel or whatever
Love the atmosphere and is great for meetings. All of the staff were very friendly and patient when I asked a lot of questions. Good WiFi connection and place to work. Cheers!
Great coffee
(Translated) Coffee is super good???????? (Original) Café est super bon????????
Fantastic coffee, atmosphere and friendly staff. Well worth the stop on the way to Kingston!
Really cool place and great selection! Definitely adds character to Downtown Belleville
The staff are friendly, they do an excellent job with repairs, and great coffee as well.
Being in a tight bind and needing a place to get work done, I stopped by the Brake Room hoping they could help me out. I had an important meeting I needed to participate in, and I didn’t have my Mac book charger with me so things were not looking hot. Although a long shot, I didn’t have many other options at that point and thought that as a cafe, maybe someone would be able to help me out. After telling them my predicament, I was very pleased to hear that they could aid me in my dire situation. I was told that in a few minutes, I would have charger in hand. I was extremely relieved. The owner then left on a bike, to what I presume was his own home. A few minutes later, he returned with the charger I needed. Amazing! That was an awesome experience, and I am extremely grateful for the service they provided. The experience was not to be outdone by their food and drink, which includes a very nice variety of hot drinks, craft beers and great pastries/treats. Oh, and cocktail and food on Friday nights.. definitely would recommend. Thank you Brake Room!
Always great coffee
Best tea in town come check out the the pedal bikes for rent great for the family
Belleville cyclists recommended The Brake Room to me as I slowly complete my “Heading East” solo tour. I was very impressed with staff interest in my project, their kindness and attention to my needs e.g. charging my electronics. I was offered a delicious cookie and room to sit inside. We took pictures and I left. Thank you guys. Best wishes.
Amazing coffees and teas, delicious healthy foods and outstanding service. A forward thinking business and a great place to visit!
Love this place. Great coffee and friendly folks. Easily the hippest coffee joint in town.
Super friendly staff, a warm atmosphere, a good selection of local brews, and even better coffee. Certainly the coolest spot in Belleville. Admittedly, that's a pretty low bar.
Great coffee and friendly staff... downtown Belleville needs more places like this
A flat white is always my test of a good cafe- and this was a perfect, balanced flat white. Yummy coffee - they brew Pilot coffee, but I'd say they pull a better shot than the Pilot cafe in Toronto. Will for sure be back whenever I am in Belleville. Open to recommendations on what to try next visit!
I'm a new Belleville resident and this was my first visit to The Brake Room. I had stopped by earlier just to inquire about non-dairy milks and I returned as a customer because they have several plant-based milk options. As a daily bicycle user and professional writer, I also like the combined bike-shop/cafe concept! If you decide to add more foods, including savory vegan options, none shall be happier than me.
Staff was super rad and the coffee was AMAZING. The most chill of vibes.
Great little spot. Good tea to order and friendly service.
Great cappuccino offered by fantastic people in a venue with great energy.
Great place, great people, great coffee
I can add nothing more that previous customers have relayed before me. Bikes, brews and beans are had here at the highest of quality. This place makes a perfect cup of whatever it is you enjoy. (Local brew, Toronto beans etc.) Adam, Caleb and supporting cast know how to make your day. Get in here and support this Belleville gem.
Found the place on Google on my way to Kingston and loved it! Awesome barista and great coffee we sipped surrounded by exquisite bikes!
Very pleased and impressed with the service I received on the repair of my bike. It was ready when promised and rides great. Thanks . I just found my new shop.
My favourite cup of coffee and the staff is always smiling and friendly. They also roast their own beans! Highly recommend stopping by and checking it out!
Great place with a unique atmosphere, the coffee is as fresh as it's possible to be and the staff very friendly. They have a full bike shop right on site where they can do everything from a quick tune up to complete rebuilds..
Great Sunday morning drop-in post exercise - the coffee is great and the staff and atmosphere are laid-back “get ya chill on”. The building feels like an old fire station crossed with a bike repair shop and a hip drop in. The owner and his peeps seem like the relaxed sort of people I’m not - but for a while they gladly let me pretend to be cool. I seriously love this place. From the friendly staff, to the good vibes. It is a top notch spot to grab a coffee, or even a beer with a friend. The Brake Room has created a new networking hub for the Bay Of Quinte. With that said, their Internet Speeds are fast and easy connect to.
The matcha latte with oat milk was delicious, the company was great and the service was incredible! I highly recommend the Brake Room if you are looking for healthy and tasty beverages and snacks and a cool place to meet up!
Always top notch. Went in for cycling accessories and walked out with Pilot cold brew. It was a great start to the day.
Nice mags good coffee and learning about coffee and bicycles vegan crieme so one doesn't stain teeth by black coffee as I have been vegan since 1997. Bicycles nice to look at for future purchases. And learned that simcoe bicycles Taiwan made.
Little corner coffee shop in a bike repair shop. Had a cold flat white with oat milk. It was quite refreshing since it was a hot day. Strong taste with a touch of sweetness. Definitely a gem.
Lovely + professional staff, exceptional coffee, yummy treats.
I visit the Brake Room for the extensive variety of organic teas and the personal staff. There is always an interesting conversation to be had. I also enjoy the unique magazines and adverts for coming events. I always learn something new when I visit the Brake Room.
Quick and casual with great selection. I always enjoy a stop here, better than any chain coffee you can get in Belleville that's for sure.
Amazing coffee, kid friendly, delicious brunches.
Amazing coffee, great vibe, but most of all, spectacular service. Out of all the places we have been to in PEC area, our barista offered the best service from bringing us books about bay of quinte to telling us his thoughts on the festivities. Definitely worth the drive to get here. Also they have amazing soda.
If you like bikes and/or coffee (and probably even if you don't) this is the only place you need to go in Belleville. They make a stellar cappuccino and are very knowledgeable about bikes. Staff are friendly and patient. All around just a really great place. You'll see.
Nice place and good coffee !
Great staff, McKinnon Brothers beer, excellent coffee. It's what i like to call a "one stop shop"
It was awesome helpful
excellent coffee, knowledgeable and friendly staff and all-round awesome place. The staff know an impressive amount about the chemistry of coffee and the particularities of the coffees they carry. The team is small and each is individually charismatic, their care in all aspects of the operation of this café is reassuring, and their spirit is heartening. Go, you will not be disappointed.
Met at BR with a friend who has recently moved to Belleville. Cool place to meet as always, coffee was A1 as always!
(Translated) On the 401, direction Toronto: a stop at the Brake Room is required! The 3rd wave style coffee is exquisite. The waiters are cordial and serious lovers of coffee. Belleville throws thanks to the Brake Room !! (Original) Sur la 401, direction Toronto : un arrêt au Brake Room s'impose! Le café de type 3e vague y est exquis. Les serveurs sont cordiaux et amoureux sérieux du café. Belleville en jette grâce au Brake Room!!
Excellent as always
Coffee is always fresh and amazing, crazy bars are always a must and super friendly staff!!
Best coffee in town!!!
Great atmosphere. Can enjoy a great coffee or a beer depending of how you feel . Great staff and love the garage door that can be open depending of the weather
The guy at the bike counter sold me a part right off his personal bike when I expressed interest in it. He also invited me out on a weekly club ride should I be in the area later that week. I would definitely make this place a stop on a tour. I'd stop in anytime I pass through the area. Thanks guys!
Went in to meet someone, and ended up having a great cup of coffee.
Always a pleasure when dealing with Adam and his friendly staff members. Whether you're looking to upgrade parts and components or to.look at a new purchase. They've got it all covered. Thanks again for youre prompt and professional service ????.
The Brake Room is my favourite place in Belleville for coffee, all the staff are super friendly!
Laura, I'll echo Peter's comment from 5 days ago. I'm an occasional customer who loves your coffee but I too have waited too long for a social conversation to wind up -- and a couple of times I've walked out. Often I've been #2 in line while Adam or one of the other boys acts like #1 is the only person in the shop. No eye contact, no acknowledgement that I'm waiting. Just a pleasant, endless conversation with #1 who's happily standing by the register sipping their coffee and passing time with you. Finally when #1 gets tired of chatting about that bike ride you all went on last week and walks away, then it seems like you're surprised that someone else has been waiting. I love your coffee and yes, I enjoy everyone's good nature, but please if you're going to have a chat with #1, multitask a bit. Look over #1's shoulder and acknowledge #2 in line. Say, "Can I get a drink started for you?" And definitely -- as Peter said -- if a topic winds down, don't think up something new to talk about. If I haven't already given up, that's definitely when I'll get upset and walk out.
Great place to talk bikes and have a beverage. Friendly atmosphere
Great coffee, people and bikes!
Solid coffee, solid people. You guys have a great thing going! If I could stay all day, I would.
Been coming here since it opened. Can't get enough of the food, coffees, bikes and peopl
Awesome coffee and knowledgeable staff.
Good coffee, their supplier is the well known pilot coffee roaster! They also have a selection of donuts and other treats ! The service is a bit slow considering that there is only one staff and it can get busy !
We'd read the glowing reviews of this place & my other half is a barista himself so we were eager for a good coffee.. It didn't disappoint. The guy serving us was so warm and friendly, made recommendations for the local area & just made the whole experience excellent. Fab coffee & delicious cookie too :)
Adam is awesome, the atmosphere and community are something to witness.
The Brake Room staff are great! Fixed my bike ahead of the agreed upon timeline, and stayed on budget. Finished product works like a dream. Thanks!
Great concept. Very nice staff. Lovely coffee and some really tasty goodies. Drop in and enjoy as I did.
Great coffee and service. Adam is quite friendly and knows his bikes.
Great coffee, exceptional service and reasonable prices.
Very helpful team and customer service
Wow. The best service I have ever received at a coffee shop. The London Fog drink was so good I could feel tears of joy forming in my eyes, luckily nobody saw.
The only coffee I drink.
They've converted to a walk-up/take-out counter in response to COVID-19. Staff were super friendly and careful. Delicious coffee!
My favorite spot in town to get an early morning coffee. Great little shop/cafe they have. Great in the summer to grab a coffee or late and walk the 5 minutes down to the pier and enjoy it there. I go as often as possible.
Cool atmosphere. Excellent service. Great food and drink.
I am truly unsatisfied and disappointed with the customer service Adam and the team provided at the Brake Room. Not only was their coffee and food services a disappointment, but also their bike services I recently received, as they highly over price their repairs and parts. its especially unfortunate that it is happening at this time. ???? ☹️
First Visit. Great Coffee Served by Caleb, who is AWESOME!!
Super cool space, great concept! Will be back :)
Great tea! Try the tea!
Best coffee in the area and super friendly staff. The BR has definitely become a community hub.
I bought my bike and all it’s accessories from brake room last summer. The bike they recommended truly was the best fit for me. They made sure it was comfortable and right for me when I got it and they continue to be my go-to for anything bike related. The coffee and food are also great. They’ve created a welcoming and warm community for any newcomers where you can enjoy coffee, bikes and the best that Belleville has to offer.
Super nice and friendly people. Very welcoming and a truly awesome environment to enjoy some coffee. Worth a repeat visit even if you aren't into cycle culture!
Really nice atmosphere & terrific coffee!
Professional Bicycle Doctors and Baristas.
Best coffee and breakfast treats in Belleville! :)
Adam spent a good chunk of time helping set up my new gravel bike to ensure that it's a proper fit. The place is really cool and has an awesome vibe. Staff are friendly and care more about making you happy instead of just taking your money. Would visit daily if I lived closer!
(Translated) I love this place. Finally a Barista who knows exactly the amount of water and coffee for an americano. The products on sale have been carefully selected. The welcome is warm. (Original) J'adore cette place. Enfin un Barista qui connaît exactement la quantité d'eau et de café pour un americano. Les produits en vente ont été sélectionnés avec soin. L'accueil est chaleureux.
Great place to stop and relax! Staff are always kind.
Great coffee and baked goods. Can't beat the service!
Love this little gem in Belleville! Amazing coffee and such nice friendly staff! Seriously the only good coffee shop in Belleville, I now buy all my coffee beans from here for home! Great little atmosphere as well with the bikes!
Fantastic coffee, and awesome conversation. Highly recommend for all ages. Lots of cool bikes, but great food and craft beer and cider as well.
Took a tire in for repair, great service!!!
Delicious decaf almond latte and delightful energy ball! So nice to find somewhere that accommodates my food sensitivities and has delectable treats. Happy, friendly servers make the experience a joy.
At the intersection of the bike trail along Lake Ontario and the bike trail up the Moira River .. . great coffee and atmosphere and the perfect stopping point for cyclists ....
Went in looking for Christmas gifts and was greeted quickly. Was helped to find items needed. Very friendly.
At The Brake Room, you will have an outstanding coffee experience. The friendly, expert service comes with free, genuine smiles and just the right amount of casual chit-chat. This is the perfect community-hub-in-the-making! I challenge you, Belleville and surrounding area, to turn away from the drive-thru. You deserve better! Instead of hollering your order at a box, make The Brake Room your regular coffee-stop. Enjoy the best coffee and delicious home-baked treats, served with loving care by your new friends.
Excellent coffee and excellent company!! We need more places like this DT Belleville :)
Friendly and inviting. Love it here.
Awesome coffee and a cool concept! Great addition to the community.
Great spot for independent coffees and teas, and of course snacks and bikes!
Outstanding coffee, knowledgeable and friendly staff, great atmosphere and quick, reliable wifi - could you really ask for anything more in a local cafe? The Brake Room is exactly what Belleville had been needing for quite some time.
Great coffee and atmosphere. Lots of healthy choices.
Staff are super friendly and in general just a great place! Always worth the stop in when I'm home! Thanks guys!
I wish I could give it more stars! I enjoy their food events, the coffee and teas are wonderful, and the staff are so kind. Please support your local business!
If there is a bike shop attached, you know it's going to be good coffee. It was a pleasure to find this gem in Belleville. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and if I had my bike with me, I would bet they have good service too.
Great coffee, great atmosphere. Best coffee in bellevile and great service! Thanks for always being cheerful and helpful Adam!
Always a great experience at the break room. Good coffee good tea. I meet there every two weeks with a friend and it's always enjoyable. Thanks Adam for being there last year when I needed my bike reinvented. I'll be in to see you soon with it too. Thanks so much!
Great staff in the cafe and the bike side. Timely repairs from knowledgeable people too. The cafe has a great selection of local items.
I love the Brake Room, the coffee, the staff, the food, the atmosphere. It is one of my favourite spots for a "coffee and writing" or "coffee and reading" session. Or a great place to sit and catch up with a friend. And the best part of it all is that this successful business is owned and operated by young people who wanted to stay and invest in and grow their own community. I haven't bought a bike from them yet, but the temptation is growing!!
