Connections Cafe

Quick, Fresh, and Unique Flavors in a Historic Old Home

Incredibly delicious! There are several salads, sandwhiches, and soups to choose from, with gluten-free and vegan options.

I had the Jamaican Black Bean Soup with a side of Curry Chicken Salad, both were wonderful and satisfying.

I'll have to try more the next time I'm in the area: They're known for their grilled cheeses; but unfortunately do not have gluten-free bread.

Maybe that will change? 🙏

I discovered this little Cafe and I immediately fell in love! I'm so happy to have healthy and natural foods to eat, with a wonderful local touch. The food is brought directly to your table whether you sit inside or outside, and the service is friendly and fast. Everything I've ever tried has been delicious! And I feel good about putting it in my body!

Great food, excellent service. The food is freshly prepared every day with local produce. Sharon, the owner and chef, has some of the most creative and tasty dishes around. I highly recommend Connections Cafe.

What a great little cafe. The food was remarkably fresh, and the menu included a number of vegan and vegetarian friendly options. My mushroom smoked gouda grilled cheese was perfect.

Nice quaint space with great service & food. Was their for a womens business meeting. Lemon ricotta crepes with peaches, raspberries & sliced almonds was a nice breakfast. Had good coffee too. I'd go again outside of work for sure.

Great first impression! Quaint atmosphere, very inviting, relaxed. Awesome service and great value. Affordable french press style coffee, specializing in lunch which I wished I had time to stay as it smells and looks DELICIOUS! Plenty of off street parking in the rear.

Amazing sweet & savory options! Great atmosphere & service. A must-visit spot in Ligonier.

Connections Cafe is a wonderful hidden gem in Ligonier, PA! If you are planning to spend the day day in or near Ligonier, stop by the Connections Cafe for one of the best lunches you will ever have! They have a wonderful selection of fresh salads, and a homemade soup and frittata of the day. My favorite salads are the French Potato with Walnuts and Blue Cheese, the Orzo Salad, and the Cauliflower and Pea Salad. My daughter loves the Kale & Apple Salad. I have tried two soups so far...White Bean Soup & Curry Lentil Soup....both were fresh and delicious. My daughter had the Mushroom & Gouda Frittata and that was also amazing! It isn't always easy to find food that is healthy, nutritious, and also tastes really good, but that's what you will find here. I would highly recommend Connections Cafe, so stop by and give your taste buds a special treat!

This little gem is awesome! If you want delicious, clean, good food do your tastebuds a favor and stop in for lunch! I guarantee your taste buds will thank you. Try the cheddar apple toasted sandwich with the cranberry honey mustard! Amazing service and a beautiful setting!

Great food and relaxing atmosphere cafe style. Wonderful variety of vegetarian dishes along with a few featuring chicken or tuna. Homemade soups, Grilled sandwiches gourmet taste and wonderful variety of teas, old fashioned soda pop, and French press coffee. Pizza too. Heathy delicious food seems to be the theme here.

I love the ORGANIC everything about this place! About time we had a restaurant that serves healthy stuff. I just love to come here when I can. Their salads are out of this world, the Panini's are great too , as are the Teas, French Pressed Coffee and other natural beverages! The Raspberry White Chocolate Tart is wonderful. They also make delicious scones, among other things. They sell Fair Trade merchandise. They are of good quality, unique, one of a kind, as each IS carefully HANDcrafted! Another plus is a Cozy, outdoor dining space on their front porch. They are open till 3 pm on certain says. Just call to make sure of times. LUNCH is served specifically. Before COVID, they had special evenings of different foods. Just call and check. You will not be disappointed. This is a great place to dine.

Note: I am rating the Mexican food operation that runs the restaurant on Fridays in the summer. I have never had the "regular" Connections Cafe food. But on Friday nights in the summer, they hand over the restaurant to a Mexican guy named Alfredo and his family. They make AWESOME food! I wish it was all year long and I wish they had their own full-time facility. It is an odd arrangement and it makes it difficult to review this place because it's run by varying entities at different times. My understanding is that a third organization has a similar arrangement for a grilled pizza operation on Thursdays.

Cute place in an adorable old house. Really creative use of space. Food looked good but I was just getting coffee. Very good coffee made to order with a French press. I would have liked to see espresso options, that's my only upgrade.

Not a traditional restaurant experience but great nonetheless, enter and find the kitchen and pick your meal (selection of salads, grilled cheese and frittata when I stopped). The food was fresh and delicious

Best grilled cheese I ever it had apples and blue cheese cranberry and another cheese and cauliflower salad with peas which was very tasty.

We stumbled on this place and had their grilled pizza. So good! The owners were so sweet and genuine. Highly recommend!!!

Soooooo good! Love the healthy salad selections! So many different teas to choose from. And the raspberry dessert is a must try!

Delicious and unique. Sorry no picture. Food was to tempting 😋

Had a fancy grilled cheese sandwich. It was really tasty. The loose leaf green tea was awesome.

I grew up eating from here it’s an amazing place to get a little of everything a bit of every country and amazing fresh ingredients!!!!!
