"Great place for meetings and coffee clutches. The hot chocolate is my favorite and the seasonal summer drinks are great too. I’m interested to see if they have any fun winter drinks. Maybe peppermint or eggnog. I love the designs that the baristas make in the drink. The service is exceptional and the staff is kind & helpful. It’s just a bit uncomfortable and not super warm/cozy (hard chairs and minimalistic furniture). The location is perfect as it’s right between many of the places I frequent and on my way into town on 102. They have a well-rounded selection of merchandise as well for purchase. The outside seating is nice if you move the chairs. The bulletin board is pretty cool- that provides a sense of welcoming and community. I have not had the food- cannot speak to that. Occasionally they have fun events. Like one day a biscuits and gravy fundraiser was going on, Dr. Jeff Williamson had his book signing for “Joy Cafe”. More events would be fun! Plenty of parking. In front, directly behind, or the big lot behind that one. One suggestion: Anti-slip sheeting on the side entrance/exit stairs. Also the landing. I almost took a spill one winter (yes, that’s a pun.)"

"Fantastic coffee and fun artwork! Most of the seating is in a big back room with beautiful natural light. Every customer in that space was quietly working on a laptop. If you're looking for a hangout space to chat and enjoy their games with kids, the limited seating at the front of the cafe is better. Or the patio when weather allows!"

"I've been a customer of Connect Roaster's monthly mail coffee for over two years (Home Run Club represent!) and wanted to check this place out when learning of it's opening. We don't live nearby but made the trip to do some hiking in the area, and came here as a mid-day pick-me-up. We were greeted immediately as we walked in by the two staff members working, and they were very polite and funny even in our brief exchange. We had a latte and a hazelnut mocha (seasonal), which were both very good. I am not a fan of how a lot of independent coffee shops try to chase the "sour" taste of Starbucks coffee, and thankfully that's not here. Since we dined in our drinks were served in different-sized glassware, which were nice and heavy and also well insulated. The space is brand new, very open and airy, and seems like a great spot to hang out. Not pictured is a large back room that was loaded with people and places to sit and do work; the front half is more casual dining/lounging space. I just wish I lived nearby, I'd be here all the time!"

"Unfortunately, my experience was not great. I politely asked for my latte in a ceramic cup and was told this wasn’t allowed one hour before closing. I had to ask three times, which made the situation uncomfortable. The interaction felt dismissive rather than accommodating. I understand closing procedures, but a more customer-friendly approach would have made a big difference. Hope this is something the team can improve. Coffee was good."

"What a great addition to Bourbonnais Illinois! Sits very conveniently across from the college and next to Dairy Queen. Very nice and inviting on the inside. Great service they do have some food items and many coffee items to choose from you can turn your coffee drinks into cold coffee coffees as well. Very friendly staff first time we will definitely be back."
