We were cycling along the coast and Mustafa received us warmly. It seems the whole city knows him, he's a famous cyclist. Even a random police officer we spoke to on the highway asked if we had been to this cafe. And he offered us great advice about our route, and recommended a good repair shop.

Mahalle içerisinde yer alan, kafenin kedisinin kendi boyu için patisiyle dokunabildiği kapı açma sensörü olan ve K9 isminde bir sokak köpeğinin evi, dünyanın en farklı yerlerinden bisikletçilerin (Japon, Alman, Kolombiyalı, Amerikalı, Yanan, İspanyol) ücretsiz olarak güvenle konaklayabildiği, çevre zenginlerinin borsa ve ekonomi konuştuğu, gençlerin oyun oynadığı, spor ve hayvan sevgisiyle çevrelenmiş, Rize'nin en entelektüel kafesi. Bu ortamı yaratan Mustafa Sadıkoğlu'nu tebrik ederiz.

Rize’de Karadeniz ve Hazar ülkeleri karate müsabakasına geldiğimizde kahvaltımızı yaptığımız bir mekan. Sahibi ise bisiklet sporuna gönül vermiş bir gönül adamı.

Very welcoming owner and this place could be official cyclist meeting point in Rize. Simple, cosy and nice, where locals go in a good location, by the main road and the sea. Mustafa himself devoted to cycling and very friendly. Aswell hes helping international cycling travellers passing by to stay and rest which is amazing, so You might easily bump to one of them if you are around.. God bless this place ????????⭐
