Café-vélo des Nations — Sherbrooke

Located in the heart of the city of Sherbrooke, near the promenade du Lac-des-Nations, the Café-Vélo des Nations offers all the bike repair services possible. Whether it’s for a tune-up, a quick repair, upgrading your bike or buying a new one, the specialists of this café-vélo will take care of you. The boutique corner of the café is also well stocked with clothing, helmets, shoes, hydration and maintenance products. And of course, the coffee bar welcomes you over for a warm drink or a beer after your bicycle outing.

Address: 9, rue de la Glacière, Sherbrooke
Nearby bicycle circuit: Véloroute des Grandes-Fourches

Pittstop Vélo-Café — Bromont

In Bromont, cycling enthusiasts come together at the Pittstop Vélo-Café. Besides being a bike and repair shop, you’ll also find a coffee shop occupied by the Julius Café coffee roasters whose mission is to produce and have visitors discover their specialty coffees. For a delicious, freshly roasted cup of coffee, before heading out on an outing, or for an après-bike beer, it’s the ideal spot.

Address: 80, boulevard de Bromont, Bromont
Nearby bicycle circuit: The 100 à B7 Circuit

Vélo Café Endurance Aventure — Orford

A well-stocked little boutique, a bike repair shop managed by pros, owners who are very involved in the region’s sports community, Italian coffee… Everything here was designed to make this an unmissable stop for cycling enthusiasts, but also for trail running, cross-country skiing, ski touring and fatbike amateurs! The Endurance Adventure team is well known for having organized more than 250 sports events in 24 countries. True passionate sports lovers!

Address: 1686, chemin de la Rivière-aux-cerises, Magog
Nearby bicycle circuit: Magog-Orford

E Mobilité Café — Sutton

Specializing in the sale and rental of electric bicycles, E Mobilité Café is not, strictly speaking, a café-vélo. Despite its name, you won’t find a coffee bar inside. You can, however, rent an electric bike and in no time at all, find yourself sitting at one of the nearby gourmet tables … or exploring the Route des vins de Brome-Missisquoi without too much of an effort. This business also organizes a few guided outings combining cycling and gourmet treats.

Address: 12-B Rue Principale Sud, Sutton
Nearby bicycle circuits: Maxi Tour des monts Sutton and La Traverse des Townships


RAVITO— Bed & Bike

Here, we’re cheating a little because RAVITO isn’t a café-vélo but rather a business offering cyclists all-inclusive stays. Adapting themselves to the style and beat of each individual, the RAVITO packages generally include planning and managing road trip outings, overnight lodgings, and baggage transportation. Everything you need for worry-free pedalling until the end of September! Find the different itinerary they offer.
