Facade of historic Wimberley building coming down

The facade of one of the most historic buildings in Wimberley was demolished this week after years of sitting desolate on the Wimberley Square following a fire in 2017.

A new incarnation awaits the former Cypress Creek Café property. It will see a new life as a restaurant, boutique hotel and a specialty grocery store.

The property was purchased Dec. 31 by Michael and Morgan Mekuly, owners of Community Pizza and Beer Garden, The Let Go, and the soonto- open Nada Mucho Tex-Mex Heaven, from owner Grady Burnette of Grady Burnette Builders. Burnette purchased the building from the most recent Cypress Creek Cafe investment group that included Trish and Randy Uselton, following the 2017 fire that completely destroyed the business.
