My Rating (3.8/5)

5=Excellent | 4=Very Good | 3=Average | 2=Below Average | 1=Terrible

Facilities: 3/5

Facilities at Café Route 1066 are practical and fairly no-frills. There’s a reasonable amount of seating available, and the layout works well for riders stopping in for a quick break. Toilets are available on-site, though overall the facilities feel functional rather than modern. It’s comfortable enough for a pit stop, but not particularly polished.

Ambience: 4/5

Café Route 1066 has a strong biker-friendly atmosphere and is a well-known meeting point for riders in the area. You’ll find a good mix of regulars and passing traffic, all brought together by a shared love of riding. There’s a relaxed, social vibe, especially on busy weekends, making it a great place to stop, chat, and soak up the scene.

Food: 4/5

The food here is solid and dependable, offering classic café favourites that are filling and well suited to hungry riders. Portions are generous, and while it’s not aiming for anything fancy, the quality is consistently good. It’s the kind of place you know exactly what you’re getting — and that’s part of the appeal.

Service: 3/5

Service is generally friendly and efficient, though it can vary depending on how busy the café is. Staff keep things moving and are used to handling peak rider rushes, but the experience is fairly standard and unremarkable overall.

Parking: 5/5

Parking is excellent at Café Route 1066, with plenty of off-street space available. It’s easy to get in and out, even on busy days, making it a stress-free and popular stop for both solo riders and larger groups.
