Why we love it: This cozy cafe feels like home. Known for its quality coffee and freshly made eats, the spot has become a community favorite in Medina’s historic district since 2010. Alongside specialty lattes and teas featuring more than 20 syrups, the menu also boasts a variety of breakfast and lunch options, including sandwiches and seasonal soups. The massive bakery case displays larger-than-life cookies, danishes and more, as well as gluten-free options.
