This is a small coffee shop that is actually inside of a bike repair place of the same name and company. I don’t own a bicycle but I hear they do fast and awesome work. Something I meant to take a photo of and complete forgot to do was the light fixture in the main dining area - It was made with industrial bulbs and bike chains! One of my favorite lights Ive ever seen. The atmosphere at The Broomwagon was lovely. Very cozy and with the sunset starting on the north side of town, it was lit beautifully. No space for a lot of people and when we were there, it was only us and one other couple with a laptop watching last week Game of Thrones episode together in a corner. The outside patio was huge and had lots of seating as well as a sort of outdoor flower garden. My favorite part - possibly of the entire trip, was the giant mural painted on the brick wall of the next door building. A dozen origami birds soared above us was we sipped our milkshakes outside. And the milkshakes were fabulous, but took a long time to make in comparison with other places. Although their food menu Is very limited (about a dozen items total) most of them are ‘hipster’ and involve either kale, quinoa, or both. We came for milkshakes so this didn’t bother us, but we may not be eating dinner there anytime soon.

I am an old non-tattooed non-hipster drip-coffee roadie, & do not understand those who do not have the sense of self to eat, drink or seek cycling help comfortably in a combo cafe/bike shop that is not in the "roadie" part of town (is there any shop in Lexington that is?) My wife (who is slightly older than me and not a cyclist) is more comfortable here than in Starbucks. The omelettes on the weekend are esp outstanding and you can load a prepaid card for cash-free convenience. Before a recent accident, I rode to and ate here an avg of twice a week: it is convenient to the Legacy Trail & neighborhoods leading to Bryan Station or Russell Cave are rider-friendly. Typically you are not leaving a bike for an indeterminate period of servicing as at most shops. Highly recommended for cycling veterans, newbies or just hungry people. The cycle stock is necessarily selective for quality, not quantity. Parking can be a challenge but not if you are on to wheels.

One of Lexingtons hidden gems!!! I adore this place. Whether you are a foodie or a bicyclist, it has something for everyone. I LOVE the coffee (and Im not a coffee person) and the grilled cheese is amazing. Delicious pickled zucchini salad, smoothies from real fruit and everything they do has a creative/inventive spin. The menu is limited (about 10 items total including all of the sides) but what they do, they do remarkably well. Its a small place with big wow factor regarding food. Might make me think about taking up bicycling at some point! Service is equally great. While it is out of my way to stop by on my way to work, the occasional times that I do, I just call a few minutes before arrival and most mornings Cheryl is there and has my order ready to go. Shes awesome!

Terrible customer service. Ordered a pour over and was told it is 5 dollars, Ive been to many a coffee shop and have never seen a 5 dollar pour over. So I order a brewed coffee, and watch as the barista pours it, and then steams it to heat it up, and its still cold. I told him it was cold, and he says "well normally we dont brew any more coffee after 6, I can steam it some more." The hours say you are open until 9 right? You are a coffee shop correct? So you charge me anyway for cold coffee you know isnt fresh, and then you wont make a new pot. Sorry to be rude, but pathetic. Worst coffee shop experience I have ever had. And the barista couldnt have cared less. Bummer I had high expectations for this place.

My neighbor recommended this place after someone hit my car and drove off. It was raining while I was there, I was kinda sad but the muffin and coffee were great. Service was impeccable, didnt do a lot to cheer me up though but thats not their job. A lot of people walked in and out. I think they were maybe looking for someone that was trying to meet them at a different time. My friend and I imagined it as an old timey cowboy saloon which wasnt hard to do at all, a definite plus. And you know what I always say "If its good enough for Corey McCall its good enough for me. "

Everything about Broomwagon Bikes + Coffee is spectacular, from their food to their coffee, beer, and especially their customer service. I came to this store at a random recommendation of someone I met on the streets of Lexington when asking about moving to the city. Adam was patient with me, a new rider, and helped me select the perfect bike for my needs. From the moment my bike arrived to future visits they have impressed with their knowledge and skill--I would recommend this place to anyone interested in coffee, beer, and especially cycling!

Food was good. I got the veggie wrap for first try at the place. It was good as expected. I had the kale salad as well. Definitely good there. Cant really mess with kale though. My buddy has tried a few other options. From what I gather they were amazing. Price is as expected for this type of place. Selection is short but very unique. I would definitely go back and recommend if one is wanting something different and health conscious.

Just about all of the shops in town cater to the spandex wearing, roadie crowd. As I am a member of this crowd, I don’t toss stones at them for doing this. Unfortunately, this is not how 90% of the cycling population rides. Broom Wagon caters to the vast, forgotten majority of cyclist. There prices are low, there work is good and, and there expertise is solid. Lexington has needed a shop like this for a long time.

Great customer service and great rates. They thoroughly guided me through the process of converting my bike to a fixed gear, explained to me everything I needed, and helped me make decisions where necessary. I had them do the labor on the project. Dropped off my bike around 10 am and picked it up at 2 pm. Cant beat Broomwagon!

If youre going to have breakfast/brunch/lunch at a coffee shop, this is the one to go to. The sandwiches are delicious, healthy, and filling. They come with a side as well - chips, kale salad, or quinoa salad - and range from $6 - $9. The cafe/bike shop has a calm, friendly, and productive environment.

Great place! Go there and spend all your money! They have good hours for people who work during the day, coffee, beer, food, bikes, indoor bike parking, live music at times, and you can watch the experienced mechanics work on your bike. If you desire anything more than that its probably not legal.

Im not a hipster, they dont like me - not that they will say it to your face, but I dont enter their establishment any longer; the looks I received told me I was not welcome, and the feeling is decidedly mutual; others seem to enjoy it. Shop elsewhere if youre not hip.

Nice little coffee shop, that also sells bikes and bike parts, and alcohol. They have several local fermented beverages, as well as some good beer on tap. there was a nice bluegrass jam going on outside and it was a very relaxed environment. the staff was very friendly.
