Coffee culture in the UK, like a lot of the world, is developing at an incredible rate. It seems like every week a new café is opening up, an artisan roastery has set up shop or a coffee machine shoehorned into the back of a repurposed vehicle has popped up somewhere different.

The UK Gravel Union office is located in the north-east of the country, in Newcastle upon Tyne. We’re incredibly fortunate here to have a vibrant and growing coffee culture and this is everything from groups of gravel riders meeting at cycling-friendly cafes to a number of artisan roasteries where the owners and staff are keen gravel riders.

We all know about the tie-in between cycling and coffee and this translates to gravel riding and coffee too of course. But normally this relationship is just skin deep – often no more than the ubiquitous pre-ride café meet-up or a coffee company logo printed on a cycling jersey. But what about coffee-based companies where the direct-tie in is so obvious that when you visit there is a collection of gravel bikes sitting next to a pile of coffee bean sacks and where the location of the business was, at least in part, influenced by ready access to the local gravel trail network?

A few weeks ago we were invited over for a freshly poured flat white and a chat with Kate and Alex from Baristocracy Coffee where we chatted about how gravel fits into their busy lives.
