Tailwind Cafe Changes Hands | Seattle News

Tailwind Cafe, the beloved Capitol Hill neighborhood hub that began as a bike shop and cafe in 2017, is changing hands — but the community vibe is staying intact. After relocating the bike shop operations a block away last fall, the cafe is now owned by Tushar and Vivek Gupta, who’ve pledged to keep the staff, spirit, and local events like knitting meetups and drag nights alive. The cafe remains in Chophouse Row under a new lease, while the original founders are actively seeking the next operator for the relocated bike shop — with updates expected soon. Meanwhile, Rapha’s Capitol Hill location closed earlier this year, and one founder launched a custom bike studio on Vashon Island. This transition reflects both evolution and deep roots in the cycling community. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
