The Connection Internet Cafe
This is a top drawer Coffee House doing everything one can do
to succeed.
Internet Lab with computers supplied. Also they are a Wi Fi hot spot.
Please notice that the lab is a room with a glass wall exposing
the interior to the cafe. No one can miss it. A biter around this
wall is a Hide A Way conversation pit, and further along, a private meeting
room, 
with a glass wall exposing it to the cafe, and then a stage with house supplied
sound system. There is a corridor with a half wall dividing it from the
cafe booths and tables. This is good because people accessing this area do
not walk among the other patrons in the cafe. And, you can use these room
even during entertainment. The service counter is long and well done and
the staff face the audience. I'm guessing the size at over 5,000
feet. And the very good food.
The store has a super location - end cap in a strip mall.
They advertise in the local tourist material and they are very close to the
University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
The staff are well trained and you know they are happy working
at The Connection. Theresa was very helpful, and I'm sure touched base with
someone, which is a sign of good and broad training, before granting us permission to take pictures. She is gracious
and makes a good double espresso - lots of crema, not too hot and easily
consumed in a gulp.
Jenell greeted us as we entered the cafe and took our orders
professionally and with a big smile. It was contagious and set the tone
for our whole visit. We had lunch.
The store is closed on Sunday and apparently some of the staff
attend Sunday service together. Good team. And it shows.
I've always admired Chic Filet for adopting Sunday as a day of
rest for the staff and so too now The Connection Internet Cafe.
Here's the outside cafe with plenty of tables and a nice fence
separating the area from the parking area. This is a well thought out
cafe, with a plan well executed. 
This was a first class experience in a first class shop.
