My favorite place for a long time. Atmosphere is cute and everyone is so nice. I’ve gotten to know the employees and they’re all wonderful, remember you by name. I stop here regularly for coffee and the best chicken salad sandwich. A must to stop in if you’re in the area!

Small town vibe, locals support ! Loved this place. We sat in the front window area but seating stretches all the way to the back with several different options. Genuine people, solid tuna/ chicken salad croissant sandwiches. Coffee is solid, Dagon Mocha was a treat! I so appreciated the kindness I received upon my last visit while waiting for the courthouse to open. It's only a 2 min walk from there. Will be back again!Kid-friendliness: My son was so excited to see that there was candy inside the human sized M&Ms. What a treat!

Jesus that’s a strong drink.Like anything with life, you explore enough and you will experience some wild things. Coffee Connection happens to be one of the more unique coffeehouses I’ve ever visited.After breakfast at Busy Corner, it was time for coffee. We walked up and as soon as we walked in, I knew that we were in for a treat. There was Jesus stuff everywhere and a bookshelf near the entrance that was crammed full of Jesus books, movies, audiobooks, and etc. Not that this place being a Christian-themed is a bad thing. Just my first religious coffee place. No, what made this place unique were the random stuff you’d probably find unsold (or sold ASAP based on trends) at Goodwills or Thrift Stores. You should be able to see some of the oddities in the photos below. To note, there was also a lot of St. Louis Cardinals craft items around so if you are a Cards or Cubs fan, just take note.I was standing there, looking at the menu on the counter and things in the display case when out of the corner of my eye I see someone standing there. This spooked me as we were the only customers at the front of the store. Turns out… it was Jake from State Farm. As a life-size cutout. I knew I had to get a photo with it.Emily saw a Strawberry-type drink on their FB page and ordered that. I got a plain ol cold brew for my sipping pleasure. We stood there while the barista made our drinks and took in the unusualness of Coffee Connection. Once we got our drinks, we wandered to the back and to check out the giant artwork painted on the wall. You can see that below. We headed up to the front and say by the big window, playing Speed with a deck of cards on the aforementioned shelf.I took a sip of my cold brew and instantly knew it would be a slow sipping drink. I’ve had some strong and bitter cold brews and this one is in the Top 3, easily. Not that that is a bad thing but something to keep in mind if you try one here. Emily enjoyed her drink and said it tasted like a mix of beer, coffee and strawberry. I took a sip and would have to agree. We both agreed that it didn’t taste bad… Emily said she enjoyed it, actually. Just an interesting drink.They did have baked goods and refrigerated items for sale but seeing as we just ate breakfast, we weren’t in the mood for anything besides caffeine. Some of them did look appealing despite full bellies.Sadly, you can kind of assume this place doesn’t do gangbusters in sales as a lot of the fixtures and odds and ends were just not in fantastic condition or shape. Some of their decorations were covered in some dust or showed signs of not being touched since opening.We ended up leaving with half our drinks left. Normally I finish mine while I’m at the place but with how bitter it was, it was a slow sipping drink. Once it was watered down a bit, it really hit the spot after some yard work.I can’t say that would return here or would suggest people go out of the way for but if you are in the area and need a caffeine hit, Coffee Connection can connect you with what you need!
