The town featured on the route of stage three of last year’s Tour de France and the café owner, Christopher Middleton, says there is a strong interest in cycling there.
“[Saffron Walden] has become a very good destination with its range of shops and there’s a bike shop already nearby,” he told the Cambridge News.
“Coffee and cycling go well together. We will be offering different bikes and brands of clothing. We don’t feel there is a retail outlet of the same type in the area.
“We also hope to have a screen showing things like the Tour de France.”
