Stopped in because there was nowhere else in town open on a Sunday. I imagine that's why they have…read moresomewhat decent ratings. We say ourselves and waited for about 10 mins for someone to come to our table and greet us. When no one came, I went to ask for a menu, and as I was standing waiting to ask, I was snapped at with a rude, "What is it"?" When I kindly asked for a menu, I was rudely told, "We see you; we know you're there. We'll come to you." Not feeling confident the service would be good and that we would get our food in a timely manner, we decided to leave and hit up Dunkin. Can't speak for the food but if you're wanting a pleasant dining experience, not confident you're going to find it here.

The hubs ordered 4 and the extra one was a half order of biscuits and gravy which covered the plate and it was only $1.59. Check came to only $13.55 before tip and that included two breakfasts, a grilled sweet roll (forget KETO today and splurge-it was great!) and one coffee. Where can you eat that much for so little? It's hard to mess up breakfast, true, but these guys served it up just right.

The BLTA came on bread grilled poorly on one side, chopped lettuce and three pieces of chopped tomato that was obviously prepped for the less than presentable "salad bar." Service was almost nonexistent, with multiple requested needed to meet the basics. No attempt was made at all to refill drinks or check on customer satisfaction. I am incredibly astounded that this place exists, let alone is allowed to serve "food" to the public.

I was waiting for Mel from Mel's diner to walk out from the kitchen scratching his backside. :) The staff knows all of the patrons by first name.

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!
