I absolutely love this coffee shop!! The employees are so incredibly sweet. The owner is one of the sweet women I have ever met. I have had a bad week and she absolutely made my day. Please go in. The drinks are amazing and the food is too. And it's just an amazing place to go and meet new people and just have fun!

Absolutely love this place!!! The coffee is 10000 times better than any other coffee shop I’ve been to. Corporation or a small mom and pop shop.

I have yet to receive a drink I did not thoroughly enjoy, nor meet an employee who wasn’t polite, joyful, and/or helpful. Great little spot - Highly recommend.

⭐ 10/10 would recommend—whether you’re grabbing your morning pick-me-up or settling in for a cozy chat, you’ll leave happier than you came.
☕ The Coffee Connection: Where Every Sip Feels Like Home ☕
If you’re looking for more than just coffee, The Coffee Connection delivers an experience. This small, hometown gem doesn’t just serve excellent coffee—they serve warmth, smiles, and genuine hospitality. The staff is nothing short of magnificent—friendly, inviting, and eager to make you feel like family.
I even ordered two off-menu drinks, and they happily whipped them up without hesitation (and they were 😍). It’s rare to find a place that nails both flavor and atmosphere, but this one does it effortlessly.

Came in for a couple of coffees today, ordered our usual modified American drinks since no one knows what a long black and flat white are over here. Pleasantly surprised to have a South African barista who knows his stuff! Delicious coffees, reminded us of New Zealand coffee culture, he obviously takes pride in his trade! Thank you!
