Coffee stops worth the detour

Half the reason I ride is the stop in the middle. Over the past year I have kept a small list of places that get it right.

What makes a good stop

Somewhere to lean the bike where you can see it. A toilet. Outdoor seats so nobody minds the cleats. Bonus points for bananas at the counter.

A note

I am not naming places here — the good ones are busy enough already. Ask in your local club; every club has a list.
