Hop on your bike, take a stroll, and dive into the adventure of The Loop — officially known as The Chuck Huckelberry Loop. This winding wonder weaves through the scenic routes of Tucson, the outskirts of Marana, the mountainous views of Oro Valley, and more. As a matter of fact, USA Today once recognized The Loop as the top bike path in America. The Loop has multiple paths so you'll need to stay energized if you're taking on one of the larger routes. Here's a list of 15 of our favorite coffee shops along The Loop, which aren't too far off of the path. Other Chuck Huckelberry Loop Guides:

There are actually two Ren's attached to St. Philip's Plaza — the coffeehouse and the bakery. In addition to caffeine, the former also offers smoothies, some pastries, and a full brunch/lunch menu. The latter is where to go for sweet treats — gelato and desserts and milkshakes and mochi. Yum!
