Pannekoek Cafe and Bike Fitting

You'll find yourself on Banbury Road in Summertown, that stretch of Oxford where locals actually live rather than just pass through. Pannekoek does something refreshingly practical: it's a proper café serving Dutch pancakes (savoury and sweet) with a fully operational bike workshop attached. You might roll in needing your derailleur sorted and leave with a warm pannenkoek and espresso, or vice versa. It's the kind of place that makes sense the moment you walk in—gear on the walls, tables packed with people in Lycra mid-repair, the smell of butter and coffee mixing with bike grease.
