    Huge portions. Fast service. Fairly spacious outdoor area next to the cafe. Lots of room to park your bike. Highly recommended.

    Lovely cafe with nice staff, great food and well made coffee. Good selection of emergency bike kit (inner tubes etc) and a little clothing shop at the back. Recently had my bike serviced and upgraded by danny in the workshop and he was amazing. Really helpful and got me my bike back in days. Would 100% recommend.

    Great Cyclist stop off and general public, love this cycling themed coffee shop on par with Rapha clubhouse if not better as there is so much more cake and food on offer than Rapha. Staff are friendly and very enthusiastic with a great selection of coffee's on offer as well as G!RO merch at the back. I especially liked the memorabilia dotted around the shop, there is also a very modern looking outside area to eat with plenty of places to park your bike safely. We will definitely be visiting again as a club ride 👍

    Been a few years since I stopped by - not local and it is still as good as I remembered it. Great refuge from the summer rain! Comfy and cosy with friendly staff. Simple menu with good choices. Mine was hot on delivery with a Karma coke. Would return.

    One of the finest cycle coffee shops around. G!RO is located on the main Esher high street with space to park your bike out front (locks available inside) and an outdoor seating area. Superb selection of food and great quality coffee, they also serve up a selection of lagers and beers later in the day.

    I have New Yorker toast and iced coffee outside. Great atmosphere. And espresso tasty was super!🤗 all the staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant area was clean. Fresh foods. 👍👍 I spent around £13 for coffee and toast. I forget to take a photo. But toast amount was big. Enough for one person 😬😬 enjoyed time in here. Will visit again soon!

    Great cycling café on Esher High Street. Always a good atmosphere - the place is filled with cyclists on a mid ride coffee stop and there's always some sort of cycling race being shown on the TV on the wall. You can also stock up here on essentials (inner tubes, chain lube and gels), and they provide zip tie locks for your bikes for when you're inside.

  • 5/5 Daniel A. 7 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    One of the best coffee and bike shops by a long shot. Firstly, the coffee and food is knockout. Secondly the bike community the cafe has created is awesome. Turn up on a Thursday evening with either your gravel or road bike and you’ll find a group you can explore the local areas with. After, everyone enjoys a few cold beers and food. What the team has created here is very special. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

    This cafe for cyclists is in an amazing location. Best coffee I've ever had in years in this city. Opens at 7:30 in the morning everyday which makes it a perfect pitstop for a morning ride.

    Amazing coffee shop (especially for cyclists)! Super delicious pastry, sandwiches and coffee, bike racing on TV and great jerseys/equipment to buy,.. a Mecca for all cyclists going south of London, can really highly recommend!

    In my opinion Giro serves the best flat white around . Perfect crema, temperature and richness of flavour. Really delicious coffee. Great service and a great relaxing place to sit and enjoy your coffee..highly recommended..

    It was my first time here, I was just popping in for a quick breakfast to pick up and takeaway as I was in a rush. Literally 10 minutes just to get a toasted croissant to go. I had to ask for them to take it out the toaster as it had been so long and it's still cold. Croissant itself didn't taste fresh. I expected better from other reviews, will not be returning.

    Delicious food - although the breakfast burrito had way way too much Mayo in - the rest was yummy

  • 1/5 Claire M. 2 years ago on Google
    Unhappy with my visit, I come to the cafe a lot and was very disappointed to see young girls who worked there taking selfies of themselves over the coffee machine - seemed very unprofessional, despite what looked like one individual male trying to run a cafe himself! Additionally to this there was constant swearing and inappropriate chit chat coming from the same group of young girls and it is not something I wish to be hearing when trying to enjoy a delicious coffee. I come here for the community and culture which is often given at the cafe - whereas the environment now has changed and I will not be visiting again. Was the best cafe in Esher!

    I had a mocha and a bacon 🥓 bap the Caffe was very busy with a load of cyclist.

  • 5/5 Christian G. 10 months ago on Google
    Cute little cafe with tasty avocado toast and coffee and loads of cycling gear 🚴🏻‍♀️😋

  • 5/5 Martin P. 10 months ago on Google
    Very happy to share my thoughts on the cycle workshop - sister business of the cafe. I haven't been to the cafe in a long while which is why I haven't rated the food (although I do remember that they did an excellent raspberry and chocolate Brownie!). Anyway, Danny did a great job in fitting my new bike wheels and tyres - not as straightforward as it might seem, mainly due to different disc connector standards. He was extremely flexible and accommodating in fitting me in at short notice and turning the job round quickly. And all at a surprisingly good value price. Two words I never thought I would see in adjacent sentences - fast and value! A great little business that deserves your custom.

    Love this coffee shop. Part bicycle shop and part coffee shop. Heaps of cyclists visit. I came for an oat milk flat white and also found the vegan peanut butter cookie bar. Will definitely return! My partner had the espresso and Guatemalan filter.

    Best Coffee not only for how it's made itself but for the friendly casual and great environment you can breath since you are inside. Must stop by! Alè

  • 1/5 Jake Digby H. 1 year ago on Google
    Came from London and stumbled across this most mediocre cafe that cannot make a flat white. Atrocious customer service from start to finish, coupled with disgusting coffee. Super weak flat white and when requested to make a stronger flat white (which you can find in any decent coffee shop in London) the barrister/staff member at Giro with blonde hair felt it was a lot of hassle to do and said: “so you don’t want a normal flat white?” Whilst rolling her eyes, sarcastically. A simple, “sorry - let me make this again for you but stronger this time and let me know after if it’s okay” should’ve been the correct response and expectation. Advice for Giro owner: hire people who know what real customer service is and actually care about their job. “The customer is always right” should be something you need to urgently preach to your staff. Not, roll your eyes and make it feel a hassle to make another coffee because the initial was so weak to then AGAIN make it horrendous!! Also, take the time and effort to train your staff how to make a proper coffee that is strong. Perhaps, take a leaf out of one of London’s top coffee shops such as Rosslyn?? Only people who haven’t travelled the world and ever tasted proper coffee will say this place is good; period. Avoid.

    In town for business and always appreciate a good coffee, and this is just the ticket. Really nice, bike themed cafe. Cracking cortado.

  • 5/5 Thom 2 years ago on Google
    By far the best coffee in Esher, not from a Karen's point of view. But as an SCA Qualified Barista I can confidently say this is the best coffee you will find in the area. The young men in spandex are definitely a plus.

    I saw a couple of guys time their coffee break and calorie intake on Strava - Surrey cyclists.

  • 5/5 Nick A. 2 years ago on Google
    Can be very busy with cyclists on weekend mornings but good coffee and cakes. Nice seating areas inside and plenty of seating outside.

  • 4/5 Tim F. 2 years ago on Google
    The breakfast burritos here are excellent. Great coffee, can get crowded but is a great post ride cafe

  • 4/5 Alex A. 5 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, great service, nice menu. CRAZY busy on the weekends though!
