Connect Roasters 141 South Main Street, Bourbonnais, IL 60914

"They've been open for a while and I'm glad I finally made the trip to come over here. I love the chill environment and aesthetics of the cafe. Staff is incredibly friendly and super informative of all their products and sources. We got two of the tarts and a mocha and chai latte. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. I love that they have products from Sweet Darren's as well! This is a gem in our area and we will definitely be back."

"Very nice coffee shop across from Olivet Nazerine University in Bourbonnais. Employees are very friendly! Coffee is great. Stop by and grab a cup, play a game or just hang out!"

"I have been drinking Connect Roaster's coffee at home since 2017 and have been anxiously awaiting a physical coffee house location for many years! Caleb and team have created a classy and cozy location that is the perfect place to meet a friend or colleague for a short or even long meeting. I co-lead our church worship ministry currently and my co-lead and I just spent 2 hours this morning planning the first quarter of 2024. It was busy, but never felt overcrowded or too loud as many locations can."

"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!"

"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!"
