Coffee Connections of Hilliard

Coffee Connections is a family-owned coffee shop in Old Hilliard, Ohio, run by Sharon and Nate Grenier, who roast their own coffee. The shop is built around community: house-made syrups and chai, pastries from Hilliard bakers, a signature brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte, and a steady stream of events, from parade-day menus to mug-making and coffee tasting classes and hands-on roasting sessions. Giving back runs through everything. Half of every bag of Coffee with a Cause goes to Master's Cup in Saigon, Vietnam, seasonal drinks raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities, and the family leads trips to El Salvador to support medical clinics and education classes. Fresh-roasted beans are sold by the pound in the shop and online, along with rotating special roasts from harder-to-find regions and a whole bean subscription.
