Coffee Connections of Hilliard

Great location in downtown Hilliard. The coffee was good, not terribly priced, and they have a decent selection of baked goods from local suppliers. The highlight is definitely the outdoor seating and kids play areas, both inside and outside. Highly recommend for kids under 5.

Good cozy place to hangout, right next to Old Hilliard Square. Lot of sitting arrangements outside. Am sure summer time might be quite busy. Btw, they have satellite store in Central Market across the street. Nicely and cozily decorated. Definitely relaxing place and make "connections", just like what the business name indicates and it truly does. Worth stopping by. Coffee was good, if you like little strong. Enjoy your "connection". ☕

Coffee was good, I didn’t find it spectacular. Location is the real star as are all of the local things to buy. Great spot to sit inside or out. Absolutely loved this area (Hilliard) and would highly recommend a walk in neighborhood with a stop at this comfortable neighborhood shop.

Today (6/29/2025) was only my second visit to Coffee Connections. I ordered food for the first time and got the Breakfast Sammy. The girl at the counter kindly went over the available bagel options. I chose the pretzel bagel because it sounded unique and different from the usual. When I received my order, the bagel looked just like a plain one. I went back and asked the same employee if it was really a pretzel bagel, and she confidently said yes. Still unsure, I looked up Bear’s Bagels to see what their pretzel bagels are supposed to look like. What I found made it clear that what I was given was not a pretzel bagel. It lacked the color, texture, and appearance of one entirely. What really disappointed me was not just the mistake, but how the employee doubled down on it. Instead of acknowledging that there may have been a mix-up, she stuck to her answer even though it was obviously incorrect. Mistakes are understandable, but refusing to own up to them is not. On a positive note, the coffee is good. I love that they roast their own beans and not use Hemisphere or Crimson Cup, which is subjectively not good coffee, like 90% of the coffee shops around Columbus. However, based on this experience, the service needs improvement. A little honesty and accountability would go a long way in making customers feel respected and valued.

Great cozy coffee shop in old Hilliard. Staff was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Coffee was terrific. Had a Bear's Everything Bagel with sausage, cheese, and egg. It was delicious, maybe could have used a little salt. The seasonal Gingerbread was flavorful, though a tad dry. They bottle and sell their coffee syrup, so I am excited to come back and get one for home. We went mid morning on a Saturday and it was slightly busy but no wait. Plenty of seating down stairs and up. They have a lot of board games sitting around to play as well. Great place to grab coffee and hang out!
