Connection Cafe
138 Science Dr, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“Connection Cafe operates as a self-serve counter inside a Marriott Courtyard, offering a straightforward espresso-focused experience that rewards flexibility and early arrival. The staff clearly puts care into their work when present, though consistency with hours and food availability seems to be a work in progress. If you catch them on a good day with a solid morning timing, you'll find friendly service and solid espresso drinks alongside simple breakfast fare.”

I'm the morning the fried eggs are cold when they reach your table (order two servings per person). In the evening I have to get my beer myself from behind the bar in the absence of the barkeeper. A bulldozer world be a great remedy. AVOID.
The breakfast was good. I really enjoyed the food and service
Never seems to be open. Stopped in the morning to get a double expresso and breakfast sandwich. Was told they were out of the sandwiches. Stopped next day to get a venti iced mocha was told they were out of chocolate but was offered the white chocolate sweetener as a substitute. But again out of the breakfast sandwich. Stopped this morning for a double expresso and the lady behind the counter said "how about a regular coffee instead" no mention of being out or anything just seemed like she didn't want to make it. Again no breakfast sandwich. If you are going to offer Starbucks amenities you should have them actually available for purchase. The hotel itself is nice. Clean and the staff have been great. Minus the Starbucks situation.
It's a self serve counter inside a Marriott Courtyard.
Absolutely fantastic! Both ladies are top notch!
