I Wandered Off-The-Beaten-Path And Discovered This Adorable Small-Town Cafe Near Cleveland
For the last five years or so, my partner and I have been adventuring all over Northeast Ohio in search of two things: the best coffee in Cleveland, and the region’s best pizza. We definitely have our preferences, but we’re not ready to stop the search. After all, it takes a couple visits to determine if the quality is consistent from visit to visit, and there are so many local businesses we still have yet to get to. However, when I heard about a new cafe in Medina, Ohio, I knew it had to be added to our list. This adorable shop opened in 2022, but it’s off the beaten path, well removed from the nutty traffic of Medina Square. Charming and welcoming, I just had to tell you guys about this cozy local business.
Welcome to The Little Fox Cafe & Bakery, a charming little business near Medina Square.

As this was my first visit, I didn't know what to expect... but the interior had me instantly charmed.

Before I even made my way to the register, I was charmed by the shop's sense of humor.

Donuts were sold out by the time I arrived (the golden rule is to arrive early anywhere if you want to score good donuts, and it was late morning, so my bad), but a selection of fresh bakery greeted me beside the register.

I ended up leaving with a caramel cinnamon role and banana nut muffin for later, and both were excellent.

For a more immediate treat, my partner and I both grabbed breakfast sandwiches.

While the food was delicious, we visited for the coffee.

We ended up with one hot and one iced coffee, and each was delicious.

While we grabbed our orders to-go, it's now on my bucket list to return and dine-in.

This charming cafe in Medina was so worth the trip off the beaten path. We loved our orders, and we’re definitely planning a return trip in the near future. Do they have the best coffee in Greater Cleveland? We’re still many sips away from making that declaration, but this cute shop is absolutely a contender. Stop by and see for yourself!
If you’re coming from I-71, be sure to take the Route 18 exit so you can also swing by Lake Medina. This charming hiking spot just can’t be beat!
