Today we came here to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. We strolled the shops in Ligonier and then came here for our lunch. They were super accommodating to us, allowing us to BYOB and providing not just some delicious lunch entrees but a phenomenal dessert to top it all off.This is an order at the counter and then be seated type of establishment. You can choose from gourmet grilled cheese, a soup of the day, a frittata or soup of the day and several healthy salad options. We ordered and our food it was brought to our table within a few minutes.! Fresh lemon water was offered and filled when empty. I pre-ordered a dessert, a white chocolate raspberry tart, and we absolutely loved it! The cafe is nicely decorated with artwork and there is a section of Free Trade wares for sale in the entry area. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. High quality foods served by a very nice staff member in a pleasant atmosphere. Try it next time you are in Ligonier for a shopping day.

Ate here with my friend during our day trip to Ligonier. Totally vegan/vegetarian friendly.This is unique house turned restaurant and tea place. Make your way to the kitchen where the hostess will show you the freshly prepared salads and dishes of the day.I went for 2 small servings of the peach kale salad and soba noodle salad. Everything tasted delish! We sat outside and enjoyed the summer day. Looking forward to eating here again!

Had a really great Apple Cheddar Grilled Cheese for lunch. Loved the quaint and homey dining area and that they even invited me to go into the kitchen to show me what they had available for the day.I really enjoyed the experience while spending the afternoon in town.

What a gem! This place is absolutely adorable! They offer some unique gift options in their little gift shop. The best part is the food! Omg the chicken curry salad is absolutely amazing! All the other salads look so good too! I want to grab a huge bowl and a fork and eat everything! And it's all topped of with great customer service! Oh and the coffee was delicious!!

The positives: cozy space, friendly people, healthy delicious food. BUT: the price was insane!! It cost $35 per person!. $12 for grilled cheese sandwich and we thought that came with two sides because that was how it was explained to us. They charged us an additional $10-15 per each set of sides we got (which portion l-wise was a handful of each side). So price per person came to over $25!!! If they had transparent pricing, I'd totally say it's worth going. But this was way beyond our budget and it caught us off guard (because you pay after you finish the meal). That ruined an otherwise great meal for us. I hope they figure out how to price it more fairly and notify customers of how that works.

The grilled cheddar, apple slices and cranberry paninis were out of this world! They offer a variety of salads from garbanzo bean to kale and feta. Don't pass on dessert!

We enjoyed a great lunch last week so we decided to go back for the grilled pizza on Thursday night. The server spoke very highly of the grilled pizza and said they had music on Thursday night. We drove a long distance to find no music. We each ordered a different grilled pizza. One was done very nicely, the other acceptable and the third was burnt around the entire edge of the pizza and the bottom was all charred. When I told the server it was burned, she said, "they sometimes get like that". I attempted to eat it but the only taste was burnt bread. I asked her to re-make it which she agreed to do, however, not very graciously. The re-make was under done. Never an apology or any attempt to offer compensation. What an attitude! Forgo the grilled pizza unless you are willing to accept whatever they serve you. Sad, we drove a long way and we're looking forward to enjoying our food.

What a great find! Here on a visit from California. Wonderful selection of salads and I like how you can choose several per order. All are made fresh on the daily. The highlight was the freshest tomato soup and mushroom grilled cheese which she was kind enough to make half. Comfy and delicious which is rare. Will return soon! Loca

Wonderful food in a relaxed atmosphere (and good air conditioning!). A haven for vegetarians, but everyone loved it. Two of us shared the grilled cheddar and mushroom sandwich, with different sides: cauliflower-pea salad on one plate, and Greek orzo salad on the other.

I really loved eating at Connections Cafe, but the last time I visited, the owner raised the prices quite a bit. I thought that the prices for her salads were already pretty high.....2 salads for $8 and 3 salads for $12. With her new price increase, the salads are......2 salads for $10 and 3 salads for $15. Why would you raise the 2 salad price by $2 and the 3 salad price by $3? Customers who buy the 3 salad platter should get a quantity discount! There is absolutely no way that I going to pay $15 for lunch, especially for small salads! You could have a salmon or crab cake lunch for less than that! The food at Connections Cafe is delicious, but for $15, you could have dinner at a fine dining restaurant! The owner mentioned that the price of her chicken really went up, so she had to raise her prices. There is only one salad that has chicken in it, all the others are vegetarian, so I guess we are all paying higher prices to support the chicken lovers. Good restaurants go out of business when customer feel that they are being raked over the coals with prices that don't make sense!!! How much does it really cost to make salads? They are one of the cheapest things to make and everyone knows that!
