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!

Would be a cool place if it didn't have a gaming lounge. I won't come back strictly for that…read morereason. I want a coffee shop that's quiet and has a nice ambiance. Staff was super friendly but had to kick a guy out of the connected gaming lounge for being irate with the poor girl making coffee. There isn't an option for a printed receipt The place only has two normal tables- the rest being high tops, which I personally tend to slide out of. The 4 stars come from the coffee being absolutely amazing! I got a hot caramel latte with oat milk- however they wanted to charge 8.00 for a bacon egg and cheese bagel which I thought was steep. Overall. I'd come back- MAYBE for the drive through option. But between the gaming lounge I can see from my seat, and the horrible seating options the dine in experience has been uncomfortable. This would be a 2 start review if it hadn't have been for the coffee.

It only has a few of their own beers on tap, with the rest coming from nearby other breweries or wherever. Bigger on the inside than it looks. There's enough room for a group and plenty of tables and space to have a gathering or a party. Basically this is the definition of a microbrewery. It's only got a few of their own beers but they put lots of care into making each one. There's still a pretty good amount of variety. Common ones like IPAs as well as those that are heavier. It's about $6 a pint. That's pretty good compared to many other smaller breweries that charge lots more for these. Best of the ones we tried was the I Came Here On Purpose. This is an IPA it wasn't overly hoppy, and really hit the spot. Also there's a few heavier ones if looking for more bite. They also have a pretty strong ass stout. Great place for locally made beers. It's located on Cerro Gordo, at the far western end. They're closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
