My Rating (4.4/5)
5=Excellent | 4=Very Good | 3=Average | 2=Below Average | 1=Terrible
Facilities: 4/5
Fuel Coffee House keeps things simple and functional, with a layout that works well for riders popping in for a stop. There’s a good amount of seating, both inside and out, and the space feels clean and well looked after rather than flashy. Toilets are available on-site and do the job, though the overall setup leans more towards practical than polished — which suits the café’s no-nonsense character.
Ambience: 4/5
The atmosphere at Fuel is relaxed and welcoming, attracting a steady mix of local riders and weekend visitors. It has a strong community feel, making it an easy place to strike up conversations with fellow bikers. While it doesn’t have the buzz of a big city moto café, that quieter, more laid-back vibe is part of its charm — ideal for a chilled coffee stop during a ride.
Food: 5/5
This is where Fuel really shines. The food is consistently excellent, with well-prepared, satisfying options that go beyond what you might expect from a roadside café. Portions are generous, quality is high, and everything feels made with care. It’s the kind of place you stop for a coffee and end up staying for food — and you won’t regret it.
Service: 4/5
Service is friendly and efficient, with staff who clearly enjoy what they do. The approach is casual and personable, helping create that welcoming, local feel. It’s not overly formal, but you’re well looked after, and orders are handled smoothly even during busy periods.
Parking: 5/5
Parking is one of Fuel Coffee House’s strong points. There’s plenty of space for bikes, making it a stress-free stop whether you’re riding solo or in a group. Easy access and convenient parking make it a popular meet-up point for riders in the area.
