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.

Hillhouse Coffee strives to be one of the quickest coffee shops in Tucson, all while maintaining the quality of a drink that’s got just as much caffeine as espresso. “It’s different from cold brew and the ratio of coffee to water, steeping time, and a few other elements as far as the roasting that we’ve manipulated. We put this cold roast in kegs, and essentially what we do is just like beer — you pull back from the tap. We have our cold roast coming out in a much faster window than an espresso machine does.”
Stepping through the door is like stepping into a coffee shop in Europe, with a gleaming pastry case and the smell of roasting beans in the air.

Curtis Zimmerman, the founder/owner of Presta Coffee Roasters, is dedicated to bringing Nordic coffee culture to Tucson, one cup at a time.

Great attention and care is given to everything from the origin and fermentation process of the beans to the style of roast to how and when to brew and enjoy the perfect cup.

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!
