My boyfriend and I came here randomly on the way to Lost Maples. We both had Americanos and the carne 20” pizza to share. It was probably the best pizza we had both ever had. It had pepperoni, bacon and sausage covered on it with a buttery/garlicky crust that was more on the thin side but not NY style thin. The waitress/staff were super friendly as well. We really enjoyed the meal here and the ambiance was very calming. Will definitely come back!

I visited Medina, Texas and stopped by The Core Coffee House. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding! I hope I have the opportunity to visit again. God Bless you!

We stop everytime we go through on the bike. It has so much to offer. You can eat a meal there, or just have coffee & a danish, cookie or ice cream!! The service is very friendly, food is great, prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend anyone to stop here when they can!

What a beautiful time spent with Heidi and her girls! I love you all!

We arrived at the restaurant right at closing, but the staff was very gracious and made us a pizza anyway. We had wonderful conversation with the staff. On top of that, the pizza was so delicious. I highly recommend eating here. It is worth the drive to Medina!

We were out riding today and I got too hot. We happened to pull off, in front of The Core Coffee House, as we noticed they had a chair in the shade for me to sit in. As I was sitting out front, 2 ladies said the door was open and to use the restroom and sit in the ac as long as we needed, they were closed and going home. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness. I was so hot and their small act of kindness probably caused me to keep from over heating. We wish we had been able to thank these ladies in person, but know, we were at the right place at the right time

Planned stop during our bike packing trip. Felt like I was at home because of the kindness of all workers. The lady making the coffee or taking the orders was very respectful and friendly. This is a special little town that loves God. We felt God’s love through the people that work here. Don’t pass by only but get off and drink a coffee.

Delicious frappes/coffees! We will try the lunch buffet next time. Very friendly service!
