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!

Got something from this place in Hickory Point Mall. It's kind of a surprise to find this kind of…read moreplace around here, with dumplings and other Asian stuff. 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.

We have only been in the area since early June. We are making our way around to the local area…read morespots. Debbie's caught my eye a few days ago. In the midst of a local heat wave, their A/C went down. I saw Debby (owner) post that they would close early out of concern for the safety of her people. I love good leadership where ever I find it. So that interaction pushed this diner to the top of the list. We went for lunch today. So glad, didn't get to meet Debby, but had a great time with the two young women holding down the fort who are great ambassadors for the Diner, their town, and their generation. They were both, effecient, pleasant, and engaging. My wife had the popcorn shrimp/fries. I got a patty melt/fries and coleslaw. Every item was simple, and well prepared. I liked the coleslaw, and I can be a harsh critic. The fries are those crispy battered kind, a favorite for both of us. We will absolutely be back, we live here now and need good dependable places. A town needs good, locally owned/staffed places, it is a connector, a community center. We will
