Hidden gem of a coffee shop (inside a bicycle shop). We come to McKinney from Plano about once a month to hang out at coffee shops on the weekend. We thought we tried them all until Wattage was featured in McKinney's Spring Coffee Crawl. We're definitely adding Wattage to our rotation! Pictured here is their Citrus Vanilla Chai, which you absolutely MUST try!

If you like bikes and coffee (or just coffee) this is the place for you. Very cool vibe with fantastic coffee! Highly recommend.

Great coffee spot inside a bike shop. It’s a little hard to find/notice from the street but it sure was worth the find. I was in the area and need a good cup of coffee. I’d already been to a couple others in the area—some better than others. This was definitely one of the betters. I ordered a cappucino and it came in one size (6oz) and was just great. I also ordered a pumpkin muffin that was so yummy and took all my will power to only eat half and save the rest for later. The place is cute but small. So great for working or a coffee date with a friend.

Great coffee. Great service. Accept that you have to smell rubber the whole time you are as the coffee shop is buried in a bike shop.

The calm of the baristas in the chaos of the cyclist is a vibe. You might have to push people around to get to the payment kiosk and it makes for a great way to meet people. The service is exceptional and the coffee is phenomenal. It helps me get through the week knowing my reward is on Saturday.

Adorable coffee bar tucked in a bike shop. Barista made a delicious iced coffee AND pulled a perfect shot for my cortado. Cozy sitting area upstairs, perfect for a quick breakfast.

A hidden gem in downtown McKinney! The Iced Honey Lavender Shaken Espresso was featured as part of the coffee crawl last year and we loved it! Wattage has been our go-to coffee shop downtown ever since.

Cool, different spot. Big bike shop with a coffee nook. High quality espresso, my cappuccino had a hint of blueberry i really liked.
