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.

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!

Very nice coffee roaster in Bourbonnais. We tried the cortado (that had a lovely little heart design on it in the steamed milk) and the mango iced tea. The cortado
was perfect and the tea was quite refreshing! Would definitely come back!

Bourbonnais really needed a great sit down, small-town, cozy coffee shop like this! The staff is really sweet and will give the best drink recommendations. There is a good variety of seasonal flavored drinks and non-coffee options as well as some really yummy, unique French pastries such as the Chocolate Ganache Hazelnut Tartlet and Chocolate Croissant! There is a good amount of seating to sit down to chat with a friend or to connect with other people in town! Located across the street from a college campus, it is great for any student who needs to do homework and get a break away from campus! Connect also sells their locally roasted bags of coffee, tea, merch, and more! So good!

This has become my new go-to! I’m so thankful to have somewhere with great food and chais that welcomes me to sit and stay awhile. Whether I’m chatting with a friend, journaling to myself, or watching traffic go by, I know I’m welcomed. As a vegan, I find a decent amount of yummy options here, and some I can even take home to make!! I love the staff, which is really important if I’m going to be seeing them daily - which sometimes it’s 2x a day. Thank you CR for all you do!!!
