Honestly there is a lot to like about Coffee Connection. For one, they have the best breakfast sandwiches in the area. I love how they do double egg automatically, making for a considerably more filling sandwich. Their lunch wraps are also massive - they really pack the filing in there! I'm also a huge fan of a few of their iced lattes. Super delicious! The only real gripe I have with them is that every time I go, I feel like I'm ruining their day. I can count on one hand the number of smiles I've seen in my 20+ visits. It's more of a "what do you want" atmosphere. It's really a shame. They also get VERY backed up with food, so be prepared for a long wait. Despite these flaws - and an unfortunate 50 cent charge for card purchases under $10 - Coffee Connection remains a place I enjoy grabbing breakfast items from. read more

Iced Americano is a bit inferior to my normal Iced Americano. Maybe it's the beans but this is definitely missing that special flavor that I expect in an Iced Cafe Americano. This is my daily drink and I can easily ascertain the difference here. Not sure if they are interested, but I had to put this out there as sometimes I do pass through this area. read more

The food and drinks are delicious but the wait is always ridiculous, inside or drive thru and the prices are not worth the wait anymore quite frankly. They're not rude, just slow, no matter how many people are in line. Will be looking for alternative breakfast spots on the go read more

This location is a joke. The wait time is always insane, staff isn't the friendliest and they always seem to be out of select bakery items. Unless you don't mind sitting in a 25 minute drive thru line I'd avoid this location and find another. read more

Ordered 2 bagels with cream cheese and bacon and a coffee through door dash. Didn't get the bacon on either bagels that you pay EXTRA for! You guys had 1 simple job. Very disappointed read more

Went in yesterday I order a hot turtle coffee I got and ice instead ok cool, then order a egg bacon and sausage on a croissant waited to get the food went finish made the white dude who made the sandwich Called what it was I went to get it from him he ask if am sure like wtf, I know what I ordered I was going cuss his ass out, but I had to manage my blackness won't see me back there read more

Good coffee. Good scones. Pretty girls behind the counter. I'd come back the next time I'm in town.

Plenty of parking, easy to spot because it shares a building with a pawnshop. Baristas were super friendly. Lost stars for burnt bagel and burnt coffee. But not bad for an after hike snack. read more

Coffee Connection - two trucks parked in front of a building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Just picked up 2 cups of French roast. No flavor. I guess it was just a weak pot of coffee but very disappointing.

I'm no coffee snob (at least I don't think I am) but I do like a good cup of java, and if that's what you're looking for too, it ain't here. Don't get me wrong, it's better than the ubiquitous Dunkins, just not enough 'oomph' for my tastes. The staff was great, just the coffee was subpar. The pastries we had (croissants, muffins) were good, but that's as far as I would go. Would I go back? Until I find a better alternative in the Woonies, probably/reluctantly yes. read more

Super sweet costumer service and always fast! Honestly one of the top coffee places in this area. So many options and everything is always fresh and good. The manager behind the scene can be snippy towards his workings but the workers are always so polite anyway. I always leave a nice tip! read more

Coffee Connection - two cups of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Really it's a nice coffee spot for Woonsocket. There's a second location in Cumberland and I believe they just opened a third in east providence. They have lots of drink varieties with tons of hot and iced coffee flavors, coffee concoctions, and smoothies. They have muffins, donuts and breakfast sandwiches. I've gotten an egg and cheese on a bagel several times and although it'll take a bit esp if they're busy it's usually great. They also offer lunch sandwiches. Worth a trip for your morning sip. PS- bring cash read more

I would probably venture more on 3.5 stars, but rounding up for good measure. This is one of the only coffee shops besides Dunkin Donuts in the nearby area and it serves up a pretty good cup of coffee. A variety of flavors like 'sugar cookie' and some other crazy combos can be had for standard hot or iced coffee. They even have specialty coffee concoctions which is what I tried (candy bar- chocolate, caramel and peanut butter). This is not to be confused with an espresso based drink, treat it how you would order your iced coffee, but skip the sugar, it's pretty sweet! It's a little confusing to find since their neighbors advertise their cash for gold banners all around the building with awnings and posters. It's nice they have a drive up too if you're in a rush! read more

Great service always with the workers but the owner is really rude and seems to only hire white blondes........where's the diversity? Come on! My friend applied and he didn't even give her a chance in the interview and was completely unprofessional!! (Mind you she wasn't his 'preference' and lives right up the street so it's convenient on both ends) I just thought I'd bring it to the attention of others!! Please stay safe and hire a new manager!! read more

Very rude service, the cashier rolled her eyes and gave an attitude for me walking in 30 min before closing. The food was ok

Not your average coffee shop! Coffee Connection has great coffee flavors that make this place fun! There is plenty of parking and they're quick and have never messed up my order! I'm giving it 4 stars because each time I visited my interactions were very bland, I did not get a hi how are you are a smile, but it does get busy, especially as the highschool around are getting out so I am understanding of this! read more

Came here after doing a nature walk in the area. It's deceiving Bc it looks like you're walking in to a pawn shop! The girls working behind the counter were super friendly. The coffee was 3 stars. Breakfast sandwich 4. And service 5. There is ample parking and hey, if you can't pay for your coffee, you can always hock your watch to get some cash! read more

My first time here was pretty good. The person at the register was nice and polite. I got good coffee for a good price. The second time and I feel so uncomfortable. I am not even acknowledged. I make eye contact with one of the girls behind the counter and she just rolls her eyes and doesn't say a thing. I see the manager there and he doesn't even look up. I wait at the counter for about 5-10 minutes without being acknowledged. I felt very unwelcomed and very uncomfortable. On top of that there was a group of people and one guy in particular caught my attention. As soon as I walk in he says ramen. At first I'm assuming the group of people are talking about food or something. BUT the second time I walk by and he says it again. Now at this point I know my first assumption was wrong because he clearly was referring to me. Calling me ramen. I am the only Asian person in this coffee shop. I just wanted a coffee and maybe sit down and get work done but I ended up leaving. In conclusion I will never go to this place again. I ended going to Dunkin Donuts after that. read more

There are not a lot of coffee shops in Woonsocket besides Dunkin Donuts, and that hardly qualifies. It's a little strange co-located with a pawn shop, check-cashing service, and gold/silver/platinum buyer, but maybe coffee is a pretty lucrative business, too. The coffee and pastry are all right, and until recently this was one of the few places in Woonsocket that it was possible to get prepared coffee with almond and soy milk. That alone made it a very worthwhile trip across town, but this is no longer true since Dunkin Donuts started carrying almond (but not soy) milk. The drive-through is not at all obvious, but it can be located with a reasonable effort. You'll find it if you look hard enough. My main gripe is that they have a very badly disclosed policy of adding 50 cents to the check if paying less than $10 by credit or debit card. The cashiers don't warn you, although there is a small obscure sign, and this seems to me a bad business practice. I was surprised enough that I complained and the manager ended up grudgingly refunding me 50 cents in cash, but he explicitly said that it wasn't worth the fight rather than apologizing for the confusion and their failure to warn customers. If they are going to pull a stunt like that, they ought to explicitly say something before doing it rather than just surprising the customer. In fact, unless a customer scrutinizes their sales receipt, they probably would never even know. read more

This is Coffee Connection's second location (for all you Rhode Islanders, it's 'where Hava Java used to be'). And how can you not love some Coffee Connection?? So many delicious flavors of coffee (including flavored decaf which makes me super happy) yummy smoothies and coffee drinks, and a huge variety of bagels and muffins. Their egg sandwiches blow anything from a chain out of the water. Two eggs and two pieces of cheese, and a really tasty English muffin - perfection. Im also a big fan of the red velvet muffin. My one complaint is that the people who work there look pretty miserable most of the time - smile, people!! But I love supporting a family run business with a quality product! read more

Coffee Connection - Egg and cheese on an English muffin, YUM!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

I love love love the Coffee Connection. The coffee is delicious black, but there is a wide range of flavors for every sweet tooth. The candy bar coffee is not too sweet or rich and perfect iced or hot for a hot or cold day. They also have protein smoothies and a variety of teas. The baked goods are delicious - try the red velvet muffin! I haven't had a breakfast sandwich but it smells good when they're cooking bacon! There is seating inside and a drive through window as well, which is a convenient touch. For your first time I do suggest going in so you can explore the menu, who is vast. I am taking a star off for service - the staff is a mix of friendly and standoffish. I'm easy to please in the customer service department (give me my shit and get me on my way) but sometimes the aloof nature of some of the staff makes you feel a little less than welcome. The only potential drawback is that if you use a card and your total is under $10, then there's a .50 add on for the processing fee. However, in the grand scheme of things it really doesn't impact my perception nor love of this place, hence the 5 stars. This place blows Dunkin and Starbucks clear out of the water, can compete with any local hipster coffee shop, and is friendly, relaxes, and fast. It's the convenience of a fast food coffee place with the quality of a higher end coffee shop. Check them out - I guarantee you'll be hooked! read more

Coffee Connection - Inside shot of the shop. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

I worked in Woonsocket for three years and frequented this location under Hava Java and then Coffee Connection. They are attached a pawn shop so you can't miss the cash for gold signs outside. This is a local coffee shop with OK coffee and OK sandwiches. I didn't really like their egg sandwiches but service is pretty fast and friendly. They specialize in flavored iced coffees that my coworkers rave about. I tried the pumpkin spiced one and found it to be too sweet for my taste. I hate how they charge extra if you use a credit/debit card for a purchase under ten bucks but it is what it is. They are probably the best coffee place in the area as Dunkin Donuts is everywhere and the other "coffee shops" seem sketchy or are more sit-down places. Drinks are reasonably priced but I taste-wise I prefer Starbucks (and this is coming from someone who is super pro shop local). They have other locations in the area as well, the closest to this one being in Cumberland. It appears to be a big after school hang out place for the local high school-ers. read more

Good little coffee place with many flavors, sandwiches are good and worth the price. Staff is friendly and polite and fast They have Smoothies and other exotic teas along with other bakery items like muffins and croissant. read more

I always get the protein shakes they are amazing. Coffee is good too of course. Breakfast sandwiches are better than Dunkin. I've had their salads before as well which are also good, great portions at good prices. I think it's important to support local business and this place is excellent. read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars based on their coffee which is delicious and their customer service which was superb. I've not tried any of their other concoctions yet- but definitely will come back for the coffee and friendly service. read more

Absolutely love this place ... My wife and I frequently come here and we live every flavor . I have brought so many people no from around here to this place just to get amazing coffee , I now have a few friends that will go out of there way just to get a large ice coffee from here ( its just that good ) . The staff are amazing and very sweet and funny and always a pleasure to deal with when I'm in desparate need of caffeine . The place is clean and the donuts are awesome . read more

This place has the best coffee I've ever had and it's really cheap!! Highly recommend!

Have a $10 a day habit here. Easily. They are simply the best. Wonderful assortment of delicious items on the menu, exceptional customer service, and a comfortable environment to enjoy the spoils. Charlie and his staff are top notch. This man would be a millionaire, if his franchise were in Miami. We are lucky to have them here in the #401 read more

I popped in for a donut to celebrate National Donut Day with, but they were out. However, instead of leaving in a huff, I decided to get a Willow Tree wrap, Tropical Iced Tea, and a raspberry twist. The wrap was good, the twist was good, but the tea was hideous. It tasted like it had Sweet and Low in it - that foul aspartame taste ruined it. The Good - While the menu is fairly limited, there's some tasty, basic stuff on there. The pastries are great, but I wish that they had more in stock. Plenty of seating and big windows make the spot a pleasent place to snag a little lunch. Service was smiley and polite. The Bad - I hate going here because of their pawn shop sharing location. Every person looks like a sketchy person when going into a pawn shop, at least that's my opinion. The Ugly - That tea was foul. Hate, hate, hate it. I'd try something else. read more

Went here on a holiday since it was one of the few places open. When I got there I was greeted by a friendly staff member...too bad she wasn't the one who waited on me. The older guy working there was flat out rude. It was almost as if he was annoyed that it was my first time going there and that I needed time to make my decision. When I tried to order a latte with extra milk he felt the need to explain what a latte was in an ever so condescending way. I wanted to get pastries and that was even more strain on this poor fellow. At this point I just paid for my drinks and left. I might return, hopefully when this Jersey Shore reject isn't working. read more

I am giving 3 stars because the service was fantastically friendly and I enjoyed my bagel with cream cheese. The coffee, however, was less than desireable. read more

There is a wide selection of coffee and I had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up getting the mounds flavor which is coconut and chocolate. It was good but needed more coconut. Overall I liked it :) read more

Coffee is great, service is good. Egg & cheese sandwiches are also very good. I like how they put two eggs on it instead of one. I live about 20 minutes from here and work about 35 minutes from here. Yet I still drive out of my way as often as I can to get an exceptional coffee and maybe breakfast sandwich early in the morning! I've told many people they have to try this place. There is nothing like a great coffee. One of the many essentials in life. 5 stars from me! read more

Best coffee shop in the area! A great break from Dunkin and Honeydew. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing... get the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant. Freshly prepared food and high quality ingredients, you can tell. Their coffee and specialty coffees are expertly prepared and a great pick me up. I am also an avid black tea drinker and they have a iced tea that is very refreshing. The lunch menu is also tasty and the wraps are huge! Going here is my special treat. read more

I love this place. Even if i haven't been there for awhile they still know my order and remember me. Service is great, coffee is delicious, breakfast sandwiches are way better than dunkin. Annnnd they have lunch. read more

This is by far my favorite coffee shop around, I absolutely adore this place. Not only for their great coffee, but their staff is always so kind and welcoming. HOWEVER, I was extremely disappointed in the service I received today. The girl who had just came into her shift was clearly in no mood to be there. Her attitude made me very uncomfortable to the point where I didn't even want to add to my order. I will always come back and support this business because I absolutely love it and I recommend it to people all the time. But that girl needs to seriously work on her costumer service. read more

I was disappointed that my sandwich wasn't made with real egg and fresh bacon. The bagel was very soft that's why I gave one star BUT..the bacon and egg was slimy and pulled out of a container. read more

I love coffee connection so much I started working here! The coffee is delicious and so high quality! we really care about our beans here! We try our best to make everyone happy and their orders correctly! I came here so often Charlie offered me a job! I recommend our snicker doodle iced coffee and our amazzzzzing red velvet muffins! read more

The man that works there in the afternoon is very rude. For example the first time I went in there I ordered a normal coffee and had change and he gave me a strange look even though had the right amount of money so I thought maybe he was in a bad mood and was having a bad day. the next time i went in there i forgot to say thank you cause i was in a rush after being handed my coffee and he goes WELL?! and not realizing what he was saying i said thanks. then today i went in there and ordered a cappachino with cream because that was what i got at honey dew and he goes do you even know what that is?? i said ya i always get them at honey dew then he goes well its milk and coffee why would you get cream? i just gave in and said ok no cream then i didn't like the taste so i went back and asked for a shot of a flavor and he saw the money in my hand and goes hahahah ya 2 dollars for it i thought he was joking so i gave him my coffee and when he came back he actually charged 2 dollars for a pump of mocha!!! This man is not friendly and every time i go in there he ruins my day. if you want your day to be ruined go ahead and go there but i do not recommend this coffee shop when he is there. read more

Zero stars. Place is a joke. I just stood there for 15 minutes when all I wanted was a cup of coffee and they didn't even take my order, had to walk out in disgust. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more
