Revolution Bike & Bean pairs a full-service bike shop with an in-store coffee bar on East 10th Street in Bloomington, and the combination gives the place a neighborhood-hangout feel that keeps riders coming back. The shop sells and services bicycles and e-bikes from brands including Specialized, Scott, BMC, Jamis, and Salsa, and its mechanics are known for careful, honest work: one rider had a crash-damaged bike assessed thoroughly before any money was spent, and another got a warranty part replaced even though the bike was bought elsewhere. Little 500 season brings Indiana University racers through the door for last-minute tune-ups, and first-time e-bike buyers describe patient walkthroughs of the options. The coffee side means a repair wait comes with a decent latte, and the staff’s cycling knowledge extends to route advice around Bloomington. Hours run ten to seven on weekdays with a shorter Saturday, closed Sunday. The shop’s Levy Electric partner page is online-order only, so e-bikes and standard bicycles are the in-store focus.
