With Bike Café you take your first step into the world of entrepreneurship without unnecessary complications. Our support, experience and ready-made café-on-wheels concept are your guarantee of a successful business.
The appearance of the bicycle café arouses the interest of passers-by and tourists.
You get the tools to efficiently control the operation of the business when you expand and hire employees.
Much lower carbon footprint compared to a land-based café while being able to offer a wide range of drinks and snacks
Opening a business does not require a large investment like a stationary café.
Ability to change location to be where the greatest sales potential exists - events, outdoor events and promotional activities.
The compactness of the café and the technical solutions used allow it to operate both outdoors and in enclosed spaces without a power connection
Join our cofee family and realise your dreams of owning your own business.
You buy the equipment, but it needs to be retrofitted with various accessories that you may have no idea about. You don’t know exactly what kind of tamper, what kind of jugs, whether you will need a scale, etc. It’s also hard to estimate these additional costs
You get everything in a package together with the bike café. You don’t have to think about accessories and you reduce the risk of underestimating your initial costs
You are creating a new brand – your logo and VCs are exactly what you want, but no one knows them but you. It will take you years to build brand recognition among your customers
You are joining the market leader of bike cafes in Poland. A brand that has existed for 11 years, currently in 35 cities. You are not only responsible for building its image, but also the experienced marketing department at the head office.
You choose all the products yourself – the coffee, the cups, all the accessories. You have to spend time researching and testing them. Some of your choices will probably turn out to be wrong (just because you like something doesn’t mean it will be appreciated by the wider public)
You rely on tried and tested products and intermediates in a brand that puts quality on a pedestal. You don’t have to worry about what will happen if your supplier closes down or raises prices – a problem the franchisor will solve.
On your own you will need to take a barista course (additional cost). You have no guarantee whether a barista course will prepare you well for the specifics of working in a bicycle café.
You take a course under the guidance of one of the best baristas in Poland. The training is tailor-made for running a bicycle café with all aspects of running it. The training is included in the investment price.
In the event of an equipment failure, you will have to take a toolbox, a manual, diagnose and fix the problem yourself.
If your equipment breaks down, you will have to make a phone call or text a service technician who will come and do everything for you so you can focus on what matters most – making money
Either you will spend hours creating quality content for social media and looking for events, or there won’t be enough time to do so and your wall will be, at best, a gallery of hearts painted on coffee.
Even if you don’t want to create content yourself, your social media accounts will receive ready-made content prepared by head office. Once in a while, you will also receive a phone call with an offer to take part in an event.
You will save some money in the beginning. Then you will learn from your mistakes, which will cost you.
You will spend a little more money. You won’t make most mistakes because the franchisor will protect you from them. It will also solve a lot of future problems for you.
A simple calculator will allow you to calculate the estimated volumes and revenue of your café. Remember that these are estimates including revenue from the sale of coffees and other products.

Meet our franchisees
“Bike Cafe focuses on the quality of both the drinks served and maintains a high level of customer service. The franchise system is very clear, understandable and flexible in terms of the unit’s working hours, which is one of the most important elements I took into account when wanting to run a café without employees.”
Poznań, Poland
Meet our franchisees
“I have been a franchisee of a mobile cafe called Bike Cafe Rusalka since 2020 and each year, to my delight, I have expanded my customer base, who come back to me again and again. This co-working concept allows me the freedom to operate and organise my private life, which I really appreciate. It’s worth noting that when I started my coffee serving training, my knowledge of coffee was negligible, and I was helped in everything by Bike Cafe’s professional staff. All in all, well worth it.”
Saxon Garden, Warsaw
Meet our franchisees
“As franchisees, we use fully self-sufficient bicycles, whose functionality ensures that we can serve even the most demanding customers. What sets us apart is the taste of the coffee – offering organic arabica of speciality quality! Adding to this business support, i.e. fast service, efficient order processing or a platform for ongoing monitoring of business efficiency, we can, as franchisees, with a clear conscience, recommend Bike Café as a reliable, credible and honest business partner.”
Warsaw, Poland
Meet our franchisees
“A few years ago, out of a need for new challenges, the idea of running a bike cafe was born. After some quick research, I came across the Bike Cafe franchise – and it was a hit! The flexible approach when establishing cooperation and the transparent rules gave me a significant advantage over the competition. By acquiring top locations in Warsaw, we became leading brand ambassadors Conducting numerous conversations with people interested in franchising, we contributed to the dynamic development of the Bike Cafe network.”
If you would like to open your mobile coffee business with us, simply fill in the contact form on our website. Our team will introduce you to the possible forms of cooperation and offer you a meeting to discuss the details.
You can finance your café in several ways. With leasing, it is possible to obtain financing from as little as 10% of your own contribution. If you would like to buy a bike with cash, you need from a net worth of PLN 64,900.
Bike Café is a flexible franchise, so we have adopted a model where you only pay the franchise fee when you order coffee. So for every kilo ordered, we add a net charge of £63 – that means the franchise fee for 1 serving of espresso is just 54 cents! All products except coffee are exempt from the franchise fee.
There is no simple answer to this question. Your income will depend on a number of factors – traffic, location, current competition, the time you spend running your business and how you do it. During the meeting, we will walk you through the most likely scenario for the profitability of your future café.
Above all, a willingness to do something! And on the technical side: a registered business and a place where you can store your bike and supplies, i.e. a garage. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own garage. Many franchisees use garages for hire. In addition, the managers of some locations also provide space for secure storage of equipment and supplies.
As part of our cooperation, we advise you on choosing the best location, share our know-how, help you organise the logistics, go through all the organisational procedures, offer participation in events, conduct comprehensive training and provide service support. By joining the Bike Café family, you also become part of a well-recognised brand with an established position on the market.
