When choosing a mountain bike destination or gravel riding route, the trails or gravel roads are only part of the picture. The true essence of these places lies in the local businesses—especially coffee shops—that serve as community hubs. Whether you’re in a quiet town along a bikepacking route or stopping for a mid-ride espresso during a gravel adventure, coffee spots play a key role in connecting riders and supporting the spirit of exploration.
For gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, and bikepackers, these stops are essential for recharging after long, dusty miles. They provide more than just a caffeine boost—they offer space to regroup, plan your next stretch, and share stories with fellow riders. A welcoming atmosphere, quality coffee, and the local vibe contribute to making the ride even more memorable.
At Loam Coffee, we understand the unique rhythm of bikepacking, mountain biking, and gravel cycling (and maybe even a touch of road cycling ...). We’re not just about serving a great cup of coffee; we’re about creating a space where riders feel at home. That happens when we bring Naccho the Van to support cycling events and serve coffee in places where there is no coffee.
Mountain bike, gravel, or bikepacking destinations are more than just trails. They’re communities that depend on local businesses to bring riders together and fuel their journeys. So next time you plan an adventure, consider not only the trails but also the coffee spots and local shops that make these places special.
