Used to be my favorite coffee shop. The espresso drinks and cold brew were consistent. Most importantly, and what I miss most, was the quality of service. I would speak highly of Connection and get excited when others would, too.In recent months, my order has often been wrong and/or made poorly (i.e. watery shots, carelessly aerated milk). Product availability is hit-or-miss (beans, cold brew, espresso). Unable to verify product availability prior to arrival, because no one answers the phone. I miss good local coffee. It seems like the desire to produce quality is no longer in this place.I hope Connection bounces back.

Really great service and coffee when they’re actually open during advertised business hours. It’s been multiple times now that they’ve been closed so would not recommend for reliability.

First timers here and we were excited to try a local coffee shop. We ordered a cold brew and Mexican mocha, iced. The drinks arrive and when we went to take a sip, the smell of spoiled rotten milk hit us. My friend said hers tasted like alcohol. She went inside and asked the barista to smell it and he insisted the milk was fine and said the simple syrup had expired. He made her another drink but it was just the same. I only drank about 1/8 of mine and my stomach hurt so bad a couple hours later. Worst coffee I've ever had. The outside seating was also really dirty, like no one had sat there in months and staff didn't bother to clean.

What can I say, I love this place. It’s attached to a church “connection” which I loved on my busiest days helped me slow down and recharge. Not to mention they have the best cup of coffee in town, I know this as I’ve tried all of them. But honestly drop in, order the flat white, get an amazing panini which I think is way too cheap for the amazing quality they provide and enjoy the empowering spirit flowing through this place between the church and followers who indulge in the word. I’ll be back connection on this trip or another, thank you and god bless.

Very clean and good services. Coffee and sandwiches are very good. They share wifi if you need it.

I got a vanilla latte and a banana and honey toast! It was sooo delicious. This was my first time there, everyone was so friendly and patient! 10/10 would go again
