Great little café, very bike friendly. There's a load of bike locks hanging on the wall just inside the door that the owner provides to allow you to secure your bike outside - not that it's in a dodgy area anyway - situated in a quiet village square.
If there's cycling racing on TV, this is a great place to watch it with like minded folk.

If it's busy inside use the lane around the back to get into the courtyard at the rear (also a safer place to leave your bike!)
