About Us
Kim and Nolan are passionate about cycling, coffee, and Keuka Lake. They are bringing these together in the spirit of the cyclo-cafe’s they have enjoyed in their European travels and sharing that experience in their home neighborhood of Hammondsport. The business will feature locally roasted coffees, breakfast and lunch fare, and eventually will bring the pottery studio to life.
“We’ve logged thousands of miles together cycling the Finger Lakes, and today we travel around the world to explore new roads and taste café delights (coffee, cakes, beer, and sandwiches) by bike. We live on Keuka Lake with our Australian Shepherd, Schuyler, and our n+1 bicycles. We look forward to sharing our passion with you.” Kim and Nolan
What is this place?
Coming to Hammondsport – the base of Keuka Lake – in the spring of 2025, Service Station FLX will be a bike-friendly, craft coffee, neighborhood café that serves as a starting point and destination for cyclists on Keuka Lake. This neighborhood gathering spot will sell coffee, sandwiches, and other goods such as spare bike tubes and grab-n-go snacks.
In the future we would like to serve local wines and beer as well as locally made crafts.
Why are you starting Service Station FLX?
We love bikes, we love coffee, and we love to travel.
When we first started taking biking trips in Europe, we noticed something: Europeans know how to kick back with friends and enjoy a cappuccino. And European cyclists especially know the right spots to stop for a bite to eat and an espresso while on their long bike rides.
We want to bring this sense of camaraderie and community here to the Finger Lakes, which we believe is one of the most beautiful places in the United States to enjoy on a bicycle.
Here are our plans:
