Steel Vintage Bikes Café

Steel Vintage Bikes Café is about fusing coffee and cycling culture. Our reasons are simple: a love of cycling, a passion for good coffee, an appreciation of tasty snacks and a desire to build something special in our community.

Our social aim is to provide a focal point for Berlin´s cycling community where cyclists can fuel their ride with Italian snacks, cakes, good coffee, wine and beer.

For those who aren't bike people, the café can make a specialty bike shop less intimidating and we will strive to engage a new cycling audience by showcasing its fun, healthy and sustainable nature.

Ours is a unique combination of a vintage bicycle shop with rare classic bicycles and a café with high quality tasty stuff: espresso, snacks and sweets.

It's also a venue that provides events and entertainment such as vintage bike tours, film nights and exhibitions.

We need to raise a total of 18,000 euros for our project with a minimum of 10,000 from crowd funding. We hope that the remainder will come from a combination of grants, personal savings and loans from individual supporters.

Crowd funding is a hugely important part of our start up costs.

The money that people donate through crowd funding will be used as follows:
- set up of our own kitchen
- full kitchen equipment
- furniture and design elements
- standard dining equipment such as cutlery and mugs
