let me start off my saying-- i *love* coffee connection. i have been a regular for years. i love the patio, i love the community, i love the employees and baristas who are just all beautiful people.
unfortunately, i leave this 1 star review due to the recent changes at the cafe. coffee connection is connected to the westside vineyard church who recently has employed a new pastor, and as part of his leadership has decided to effectively gut the coffee shop.
there are barely any tables outside anymore (and with that, there is no back support), hours after 3pm have been cut, there are no more heaters outside for the winter months, and it seems as if he has no interest in this being a coffee shop for the public.
i have met best friends at coffee connection. i have built projects, studied for exams, started a business from the courtyard. it has always felt like a spiritually safe space for me to do good work and connect with other like-minded and love-minded individuals.
unfortunately, i have had to find another coffee shop to work at-- as it seems the new leadership has no interest in the needs and desires of the customers-- even to the detriment of the cafe's profit.
please, please, please. bring back the tables. (and the back support). this place was so popular for so many years for a reason. and unfortunately, it's a ghost town. my hearts are with the employees.
