They partner with local businesses to ensure that their food is fresh and clean, which I really appreciate. I strongly suggest getting the blueberry coconut smoothie as there is nothing like this around Columbus area. I live about 20 minutes and would drive for the smoothie. Last time I was there I got bacon, egg, and cheese on a sourdough bread. You can really tell how fresh the ingredients are and it's just very good.

An adorable coffeeshop that was (quite clearly) built into what used to be someone's house. This…read moreold-home vibe comes with small rooms, small doorways, and lots of little nooks and crannies that would be perfect for working. Worth noting: this business has religious overtones to it with multiple Christian decor items around it. PROS: -Love the upstairs area. Upstairs, there were two separate rooms with good seating areas. Both offered enough privacy to feel like you were having a "private" conversation at the coffeehouse and you felt far enough away from the people on their laptops to feel like you weren't disturbing them with your conversations. -While some of the furniture "appears" older and classic, they have nice upgrades. A full-wood table, for example, had outlets built into the table for laptops. -Really friendly staff. We didn't know what to get, but they were really patient with us. -Decent parking around. This is in the busier area of Hilliard, but it's off the beaten path enough that there's decent parking within a one block radius. Lots of free parking options if you're willing to walk a couple blocks too. I didn't look for a dedicated parking lot. -Mini sizes of drinks. Coffee Connections seems to sell a "Mini", a "Small", and a "Large". The Mini appears to be about the size of a couple of espressos, and it's adorable. I could see that being a great size for kids who want to "have coffee like my parents" in a matching cup. -Delicious coffee. I know it's a coffeeshop, but sometimes the vibe is almost as important as the actual product. Coffee Connections has a lovely, small-business vibe but they also have the yummy, sippable coffee to match. Latte was served piping hot, and it was a pleasure to sit and chat while waiting for it to cool down to drink. -Cute outdoor area. A door right off the order counter takes you to their outdoor seating area. Coffee shops with outdoor seating are hard to find, and this one even has beautiful lights strung up for you late-night coffee drinkers. It honestly feels like it'd be a super-cute date night spot in the evenings. CONS: -Built into an older home, Coffee Connections has smaller hallways and older flooring. Nothing seemed dangerous uneven, but if you need lots of space and flat flooring to maneuver, this may not be a good fit.

The Barista was exceptionally friendly and very informative. Love that he took the time to check if the match was truly ceremonial. He made the drink with quite some expertise using the traditional methods of whisking in a bowl. I added a touch of pistachio syrup just to make it a bit different for the ride. Tasting it was NOT a disappoint....it was DELICIOUS. The place had a lot of indoor seating and it is very bohemia-ish in the decor. They appear to really connect with the local community in their agenda as well. There were different programs you could be a part of.

I am a big fan of flavored coffee and they have some great blends. I like the cinnamon hazelnut and just purchased a bag of Jamaican Me Crazy. You can get the coffee both ground and whole bean, your preference. If you find them at a market, they also bring some hot and cold drinks. I got a cold brew coffee/cold chai tea latte blend today, and it was delicious! It was one of those drinks that went down really easily and was a lovely blend of cold coffee and cinnamon spices. There were lots of flavors and blends available, and they had some syrups and milks as well.

You find so much the same, seemingly caught in time, and other things have greatly changed. Goldberry is one of those "new to me" additions to Ashland, and every time I walk through its doors, I find myself grateful that it is a part of this town's growth and change. Brightly lit, warmly modern, with touches of wood, crisp white, and greenery, the shop holds ample space to gather together with friends or sit comfortably by oneself, sipping an espresso, cortado, or dirty chai with almond milk (my personal choice today) while people-watching or reading a book. Tall windows line the front of the building, looking out upon a bustling parking lot and side-street as multiple baristas efficiently work away behind the bar. Fresh donuts were being sold at a stand as I entered, along with bagged beans and a variety of other bottled/canned beverages. People sat outside, in groups around larger tables, or in more relaxed leather chairs, animatedly caught up in conversation. Goldberry feels like a true 'third place' in Ashland - not your home, not your workplace, but that third place where you go to meet friends, begin your day, or center yourself before stepping out into the world. It's fittingly named in that light, given that Goldberry is the warmly welcoming, hospitable, and wise woman in JRR Tolkien's work who offers comfort and guidance to questing hobbits, the beautiful and mysterious 'river-woman's daughter' who married the enigmatic Tom Bombadil, a man whose magic was older than time. This coffee shop is all of those things: welcoming, warm, bright, and more than a little magical, glowing like a water-washed jewel - or fairly-sourced coffee bean - in the midst of this ever-changing tiny mid-Ohio town. I'll be back.

When choosing I always look for thoughtfully sourced single origins and blends, and Brioso delivered. If you know coffee you can tell what Brioso is doing and appreciate it deep down in your black coffee loving soul, but for anyone newer to coffee, this is an absolutely fantastic place because they present their coffees in a way that is fun, approachable and easily understood! I perused the retail roast selections on my way in and scoped out the pour over choices deciding to try their "curiosities" selection, a black diamond natural process, and the natural Kenyan as well. Both were delicious but I wish I had tried the Kenyan first and then the curiosity because my palate was dominated by the bigger flavors of the first cup. Staff was super friendly, roaster is on full display, and the vibes are communal. Great find and place for anyone who loves coffee.
