Gabriel listened to us and hooked us up with the best coffees tailored to each of our tastes. There were quite a few people waiting to order and Gabriel was so intentional in helping us, being present and calm and helpful and wonderful! Mom said it was the best coffees she's ever had so it def passed the test! When we walked out my sister and I both said wow that man is so calm kind and Christ-like. We were truly in awe of his confidence and the way he comforted and helped everyone in the room. This was truly an interaction we will never forget and we spoke about in the car and said "What would it look like for us to slow down and look people in the eye and serve them this way." Leaving encouraged and inspired!

I stopped in recently with a group of friends for brunch and I already know it won't be our last visit. All of the tables inside were full so we grabbed a table on their patio deck (there are more seats outside than inside fyi) and then took turns holding the table while others went inside to order. You do go inside to a counter to order (conveniently located by the pastry case) and take a number and wait for your yummy food to be brought out to you. I opted to go with Chilaquiles with pork belly and it was soooooo good. Highly recommend. It's a very generous serving also and I wasn't able to completely finish my plate. Everyone else at my table absolutely raved about their dishes too so I don't think any option you go with will be a bad one. Check them out for your next brunch or lunch outing!

I go to the location on Huebner Rd in Shavano Park and it doesn't look like it has an inside but again, I'm not sure. Either way, I love that they have a drive thru and the happy hour daily. I also signed up for the rewards program so hopefully that will pay off soon.

I was on the hunt for a cozy spot to read a few chapters when I stumbled across Medina River Coffee. Tucked away in a small shopping center, it's easy to overlook--but don't make that mistake. The vibe is dark and moody in the best way: cozy, calm, and perfect for settling in with a book or getting some work done. My favorite feature was the counter seating along the front window. I claimed a little corner seat where I could soak up some natural light, sip my coffee, and happily disappear into my book. Even with several people inside, it never felt noisy or distracting. The baristas were incredibly friendly and took the time to walk me through their menu and offer recommendations. I ended up ordering the Coco- Ro-Dachio iced latte (coconut, chocolate, and pistachio) and asked for it to be less sweet. They absolutely nailed it--it was smooth, balanced, and let all the flavors shine without tasting like dessert in a cup. I also loved seeing the variety of coffee beans for their different coffees. If you're into trying different coffees, you'll have plenty of options to explore. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and size of the drink. The only minor downside is that parking can be a little tight since it's in a smaller shopping center. On the plus side, they're open until 8 p.m., which makes it a great option whether you're looking for a morning pick-me-up or an evening coffee break. If you're searching for a coffee shop with excellent drinks, friendly baristas, and a peaceful atmosphere to read, work, or simply unwind, Medina River Coffee is absolutely worth checking out.

Check out all the gilded frames, antique oil paintings, and fancy furniture! This is such a great place to come and relax, hang out and admire the decorations, and enjoy decadent Belgian food. The Belgian waffles are handmade there. They're so good that they could eaten dry, but why do that when they offer Nutella or strawberries. The mousse has been a long favorite of mine. It's rich, smooth, creamy, fulfilling. My only complaint about this place is that they only offer Neuhaus Chocolate as their sole Belgian chocolate. There's so many good ones, but I wish they'd offer Leonidas. It's worth mentioning that the imported Belgian chocolates are the only things that they're serving that they didn't make there on site.
