The Crown Point Coffee Run is a relaxed, social 125K out-and-back ride from downtown Chicago to Crown Point, Indiana—built around good miles, good company, and excellent independent coffee shops.
The route features stops at three standout cafés and bake shops: Grindhouse Cafe, Sip Coffee House, and Cielito Lindo Cafe. Each stop offers a chance to refuel, warm up, and support local businesses along the way.
The majority of the route follows bike paths and low-stress roads between Chicago and Northwest Indiana, making this an approachable endurance ride despite the distance. Expect steady pacing, a conversational vibe, and a welcoming atmosphere for riders looking to test their legs without racing the clock.
Ride far, drink well, and enjoy a coffee-fueled day on the bike.
