Welcome to Derailleur Bike Shop Cafe, an enchanting oasis nestled at 107 Dittmer Rd, Butler, PA. This delightful cafe serves as both a haven for cyclists and a culinary retreat for everyone seeking fresh, wholesome food within a charming atmosphere.

Derailleur Bike Shop Cafe is not just a stop along the trail; it’s an experience. As you step inside, you’re greeted by an ambiance that exudes warmth and character—think rustic charm mingled with the lively buzz of satisfied customers enjoying their meals. The cafe has a vibe that's as welcoming as a sunny morning ride, ideally suited for both the outdoor enthusiast and those simply in search of a wonderful dining experience.

The menu here is a celebration of comfort food prepared with a vibrant twist. One of their standout offerings is the Grilled Cheese, made with sourdough bread and farmers cheese, panini-pressed to perfection for that golden, crispy exterior. Each bite melts in your mouth with its creamy richness, and you can easily customize it with tantalizing toppings like fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and spicy jalapeños—all available at a friendly additional cost.

Another favorite is the wholesome Rice & Bean Bowl, featuring fluffy white rice topped with slow-cooked black beans infused with chipotle peppers. This dish is packed with flavor and nutrient-rich goodness, making it both satisfying and revitalizing after a day of biking along the picturesque Butler-Freeport Trail.

And it doesn’t end there! Customers rave about the cafe’s Bean Burrito, filled with generous portions of chicken, cheese, and a medley of fresh ingredients, or the delightful hot pretzels offered with both spicy cheese and ham & cheese options that leave taste buds rejoicing.

True to their commitment to an organic and fresh menu, many patrons, like Suh_Man G, appreciate the quality of ingredients used. “All the food was extremely fresh and good. Very organic or just all around good quality of products used,” he shares. The friendly young staff adds to the overall positive vibe, making every visit feel personal and welcoming.

For those looking for a quick refreshing drink, the cafe also serves up delicious Italian sodas in unique flavors such as watermelon and blue raspberry—which are a perfect thirst-quencher after an adventure on the bike trail! As Tammie Rabbitt warmly recalls, “My husband and sons loved the watermelon Italian sodas. I loved the blue raspberry,” proving there's something for every palate.

Derailleur Bike Shop Cafe is more than just a place to grab a bite; it’s a community hub where cyclists can unwind, shop for unique items, and enjoy the spirit of camaraderie. The delightful gift shop adds an extra touch for those looking to take home a little Pennsylvania charm.

If you find yourself exploring Butler or cycling along the beautiful trails, make sure to carve out some time to experience the soul of Derailleur Bike Shop Cafe. With mouthwatering food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere, it’s a stop you simply cannot miss!

This place is epic. It's totally cute, clean, convenient, and has some great products. The owners Dee and Gavin are also great-hearted people and have been there for a long time.

Wonderful little stop while riding on the Butler-Freeport Trail. Happy to see it open on a weekend in September! Enjoyed an iced Chai Latte and Bean Burrito on the patio. There's a gift shop and seating indoors as well.

What a cool little cafe pretty much in the middle of nowhere unless your on the bike trail. All the food was extremely fresh and good. Very organic or just all around good quality of products used. The kids working the place were very personable, polite and just pleasant. The 3 P's I guess. Haha I love old buildings and this place has been around for awhile. All the nic-nac's the smell of atleast 100 years old just gives this place alot of character.

What a wonderful experience today. We called ahead and brought a candle and they made my father-in-law's birthday grilled donut with ice cream. He loved it! The rice bowl with vegan cheese was delicious and so were the burritos. My husband and sons loved the watermelon Italian sodas. I loved the blue raspberry. I was excited to see they now have a dog menu. We will have to be back with the pups soon. It was the perfect spot after a bike ride. We've also stopped after or for a break during a trail walk. Following the Facebook page will let you know hours for the fall and upcoming seasons. The bike shop in the back looks great too.

Great place, stopped by this weekend while on a bike ride. Friendly staff. Their hot pretzels (both the spicy cheese and the ham and cheese) are awesome. Recommend checking them out!

We have been coming here for years and the owner and her crew continuously improve the look and feel of the cafe. The food and drinks are fresh and authentic and I can't imagine a ride on the trail without stopping for an iced coffee and a burrito!

Really cool café along the Butler Freeport trail! Their breakfast burrito hit the spot after riding 15 miles from Freeport. Reasonable prices and great food with a Tuscon, AZ influence.

Loved this little Cafe right on the Butler Freeport Community Trail. I chose a grilled cheese with roasted red peppers, which was made with obviously fresh ingredients and served panini style. My BF chose the Burrito with included good portions of chicken, cheese, rice, beans and salsa. Both were excellent. I also had a fresh fruit cup that was clearly made with freshly cut fruit and a Lavender Soda. Both top notch. We shared the peanut butter cookies. So good. They also offered multiple flavors of homemade ice cream sandwiches and many hot and cold drink options. Very nice atmosphere and a great place to stop while walking or biking the trail (we entered the trail at the Cabot parking lot, about a 15 min bike ride from here). Heading back to try the ice cream sandwiches soon!
