Jesus that's a strong drink…read more 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!

We were in line tonight for 35 minutes with only 3 cars in front getting only 1 or 2 drinks. We watched a girl with glasses keep bothering them and she was clearly an off duty person.

Cocoday is among the more interesting restaurants in Forsyth. Even though it's not much of a restaurant, it has a pretty cool menu of cold and hot items. The place is order at the counter, but the mall has tables. After getting off the interstate, we came here. It's located in the Hickory Point Mall. This is near the large open area with the chairs and tables. It's not a food court. This is also located next to Auntie Anne's, which is about the only other place to eat here. I got us the Vegetable Dumplings. It's $10 for a container of a dozen or so. These were average looking but weren't bad though. Filled with vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, and onions. The dipping sauce was salty. Also they have ice cream. Try here for something cold and hot. For the most part it's a place that's good for being in a mall, and the prices aren't that bad. It's a lot of dumplings. They have a few filling choices including beef, pork, and vegetarian.

This location we've never had an issue, but today they treated my daughter HORRIBLY. They…read moreaggressively gave my daughter her drink and spilled some on her, and slammed their drive thru window rudely. In addition, they said they were "coached" not to remove lemonade from their cannonball refreshers. I just spoke with Lea from Corporate, and was told this was unacceptable and not true across the company world wide. Even on the app there's an option not to include lemonade. The rudeness of those on staff today was beyond unacceptable, and the rule of not putting lemonade in the drink was absurd by whomever the supervisor is. There's a right way and wrong way to treat individuals, and the 2 women today should no longer work for Starbucks, or any positions dealing with the public. They made the excuse the wind blew the drive through window shut hard. Funny that has never occurred my other visits. Another excuse was "Well, we want to make sure you're getting your money's worth." This drink doesn't already have lemonade in it...just don't add it. This location could learn a lot from Bloomington-Normal and Bolingbrook locations. Never an issue with attitudes or ordering. Shoutout to Lea from Corporate. Forsyth Starbucks...DO BETTER.

Thai Tea Caramel Canelé {5/5}: The best canelé I've ever had (okay, I admit, I've only had maybe 6 in my life). Great caramel and good Thai tea flavor. The texture was AMAZING with a nice slight crisp and chewy outside and almost custard-like inside. I got 2 more before I left Green Onion Kouign-Amann {4/5}: A caramel shell outside of this very flakey pastry that I had plenty of green onions mixed within the dough. It was a great play on sweet and salty flavors with delicious flakey layers Jade Cloud {3/5}: Peach oolong tea with matcha cold foam. Just a personal preference thing, but the flavor combination of peach, oolong, and matcha was not my favorite. I can see how someone who likes this flavor profile would find this drink refreshing!

We got a couple of croissants and a canele, and we each ordered an espresso drink. It was everything she promised - and more. The croissant was flaky and buttery.

Would definitely come back on my next visit. In the meantime, I'll just have to ask my friend to bring pastries to me when she visits!
