The Lore
The Meteor was founded by two friends who became accidental business partners: Doug Zell, the founder of Intelligentsia Coffee, and Chris St. Peter, a former attorney. Both are avid cyclists. Their vision began with a desire to create a spirited environment that combines all the things they love under one roof: ingredient-driven, locally sourced food, thoughtfully curated natural wine, carefully crafted coffee, and, of course, bicycles. Perhaps more importantly, they hoped to build a community that enjoyed these same pursuits. Thus their motto was born:
Espresso | Champagne | Chain Lube
Through The Meteor they hope to offer a distinct, enveloping experience that strives to connect their community every day. All cafes offer specialty coffee drinks, an expansive selection of for-here and to-go craft beer and natural wine, house-made baked goods, an ingredient-driven food menu, and pizza made with their famous sourdough crust. The bike shops offer a boutique retail environment that specializes in expert service and a carefully vetted selection of bikes, apparel, accessories, and Meteor-branded gear. They are dedicated to serving experienced cyclists, newcomers, commuters, cruisers, or anyone else who rides or aspires to ride a bike.
