I really can't express how good this little gem of a shop has made me feel, basically in every way possible. But, I'll try anyway.
The entire staff (Vince, Ashley, Rob, and even their trainee Gabe!) made me feel like I was part of an ensemble cast for Cheers of the 21st century or something- they all learned my name, treated me like a favorite regular, and were SO accommodating went I let my coffee get cold and they steamed it back to life for me. I'm spoiled.
That would be enough already, but the physical space is so charming too that it really must be mentioned. The cafe-cum-botanical-mecca is full of lovingly arranged flowers, plants, and succulents of all kinds, housed in on and around beautiful custom woodwork.
Sonically, the music is the perfect volume and tone, and the baristas asked me what I wanted to hear, played my favorite band when I requested it, and barely made fun of my music taste at all, which is really saying something.
Everyone that came in and out was treated with care and attention and made to feel truly appreciated and part of the family. What a treat.
AND apparently they are just now starting to serve chai, which they allowed me to sample in both "dirty" and "clean" formats, and it was perfectly creamy, sweet, and spicy, so I would highly recommend it.
When you go, look out for a strange internet celebrity called "Gordon." He will definitely dance for you, show you videos of himself from the year 2010, and do a crossword puzzle with you if you stick around long enough.
Suffice it to say that I would give Spina 6 stars if I could, and I would buy a plant from them if I didn't kill everything I touch.
