Fall means a few things around here. The weather turns, the patio comes inside, and a good chunk of our summer team, many of them students, head back to school. It’s always the time of year we take stock of the season and figure out what’s next. This year, that conversation is a bigger one […]

On September 19th, Alicia trades her job title for a much bigger one: wife. We caught up with her fiancé, Josh, to hear how “someday” finally got a date – a Christmas Eve proposal, a bold first meeting involving flowers and mistaken identity, and one very specific, non-negotiable request for married life. Read on. The […]

Londonlicious is back for the summer, and we are thrilled to be part of it again. If you’re new to it, Londonlicious is London’s twice-a-year food festival, presented by Growing Chefs! Ontario. It runs from July 24 to August 16 this summer, and the idea is simple: restaurants across the city put together special fixed-price […]

That mindset never left me when I became a chef. If anything, it sharpened how I think about ingredients: not just as products, but as living […]

Bicycle Café is looking for a friendly and reliable Bike Concierge to join our team this season. This role is a great entry point for someone interested in the bike industry, retail, or community-focused work. You will spend the day helping customers, supporting our sales and service teams, and keeping the shop running smoothly during […]

A recent article in Momentum Magazine makes a strong case for something many of us already see on the ground: cargo bikes can move through cities faster than delivery vans. In dense urban areas, vans sit in traffic, circle for parking, and lose time at every stop. Cargo bikes use bike lanes, take shorter routes, […]

A Local Partnership That Helps More Londoners Get Rolling At the London Bicycle Café, we believe bikes change lives.

That is why we are proud to partner with […]
