We are so heartbroken over this news for our friends, who have become like family over the years. They have poured so much into others and the Hilliard community, always showing up with a helping hand and servants heart. We are praying for them and their next chapter. Come out with us to support them in their last week of business at 4004 Main Street ❤️
As for the Bread Box - we are on the hunt for a spot to relocate so we can keep providing fresh sourdough for the community. If you have any ideas of where our new chapter could begin, please reach out 😊 As always, we appreciate your support of our small business.
HELP
A CHAPTER IS CLOSING.
After nearly 10 years at 4004 Main Street, this week will likely be our final week in the building we've called home.
Last Wednesday, while Nate and I were away on vacation, the city inspector and fire marshal came to evaluate the safety of our floor. They gave our landlord 14 days to bring in a city-approved structural engineer to assess the extent of the damage and determine what repairs would be required.
What does that mean for Coffee Connections?
Once the structural engineer arrives—or the 14 days expire, whichever comes first—we can no longer operate out of 4004 Main Street.
There really aren't words.
For nearly ten years, we've watched life happen within these walls. We've celebrated victories, grieved losses, welcomed new babies, prayed through hard seasons, watched kids grow up, and listened to countless stories over cups of coffee. What made this place special was never the building itself—it was the people who filled it. And for that, we are deeply grateful.
While 4004 Main Street is closing, Coffee Connections is not.
The address may be changing, but our mission remains the same. We still believe in community. We still believe in connection. We're still roasting. We're still brewing. We're still showing up. It may look different for a season, but we're not done yet.
Truthfully, we're still figuring things out ourselves. As we know more, we'll share more. And if you're willing, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.
So what do we do now?
We drink coffee. We share stories. We say thank you. And we keep moving forward together.
1. VISIT THE SHOP ☕
Barring any unexpected changes, our plan is to operate this week as our final week at 4004 Main Street.
Saturday, June 27, will likely be our final day at this space.
We'll be open from 7am–12pm (6/27) serving coffee, sharing stories, and soaking in every last moment. Then at 12:30pm, anyone and everyone is invited to join us for a prayer of thanksgiving over this space and a prayer for whatever comes next. After that, we'll begin packing boxes, moving equipment, and officially vacating 4004 Main Street.If you'd like to help us close this chapter, we'd love the extra hands.
2. SHARE YOUR MEMORIES ❤️
Coffee Connections was never really about a building. It has always been about people.
We want to create something we're calling The Memory Bean.
This week, we'd love for you to share your memories with us. Post old photos, tag us in your stories, send us emails, or simply tell us what this place has meant to you.
As those memories come in throughout the week, we'd love to collect a few more in person. On Saturday, we'll have a station where you can write a memory, a prayer, or simply a few words about what Coffee Connections has meant to you. Those notes will be rolled and placed inside a coffee bean mosaic that will become part of our future home.
While we can't take this building with us, we can take the stories that made it special.
3. SUPPORT THE NEXT CHAPTER 🤝
Many of you will ask how you can help.
The truth is, we're still figuring out exactly what the next chapter looks like. What we do know is that Coffee Connections isn't over. We'll continue through roasting, pop-ups, and whatever doors God opens next.
If you'd like to help us bridge the gap between where we've been and where we're headed, we'd be incredibly grateful. Your support will help us care for our team, continue roasting and serving, and carry the mission of Coffee Connections forward during this unexpected transition.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
For every cup.
For every conversation.
For every memory.
And for being part of this story.
We believe this isn't the end of Coffee Connections—just the end of our chapter at 4004 Main Street. As we begin writing what comes next, we'd be grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and support along the way.
— Nate, Sharon, and the girls
