Enjoy A Coffee Inside A Former Bank Vault At The Medina Street Vault In Small-Town Nebraska

By Delana Lefevers | Published December 17, 2019

It’s not always easy to find truly fantastic restaurants in tiny towns. So when one comes along that offers divine coffee, delectable food, and a down-home atmosphere, it’s a real treat. This one in an itty-bitty Hall County village is a rare gem that’s worth a drive from wherever in Nebraska you are.

The Medina Street Vault is a coffeehouse and bistro in Cairo, a town of fewer than 800 residents. It's the kind of cool, laid-back place that every small town deserves to have.

The locally-owned coffeehouse opened in the summer of 2017 and quickly became a favorite not only for Cairo residents but for folks in surrounding towns as well. The eclectic style inside reflects the owner's own tastes. It's a fun blend of rural Nebraska, big-city coffee shop, and your best friend's house.

While the coffee absolutely delicious and totally worth a visit on its own, The Medina Street Vault also serves fabulous food made on-site. A full breakfast and lunch menu will satisfy every last craving and leave you with a pleasantly full belly.

The shop's specialty is its cinnamon rolls. They're made from a special recipe that imparts a flaky, perfectly sweet, perfectly addictive quality to these breakfast favorites.

The sandwiches are exactly how sandwiches from a bistro should be: indulgent, full of fresh ingredients, and presented beautifully.

The house-made soups are exactly what you need on a cool day. The flavors rotate, giving you a variety of hearty choices.

Sometimes you'll even catch a special treat like homemade bierocks stuffed with meat and cabbage. Get the fresh fruit on the side for a balanced meal.
