My mother-in-law really likes this place, so we came here on her suggestion! This is sort of a big deal because she rarely likes to buy coffee out. She likes brewing it at home. :)
On the way there, I Yelped it and was thrilled to read that it had a five star average rating.
It was a Tuesday morning around 10AM. We were immediately greeted pleasantly by a young woman cleaning the tables outside. Once inside, we saw that it was pretty busy. There was a mixed bag of all ages, individual and in small groups. The decor is warm and inviting.
I saw from the photos on Yelp that there were coffee flights. I'm glad I saw that because I didn't see it anywhere on the menu. I asked the person at the register about it (who, by the way, was super friendly, helpful, and overall very pleasant) and she said they absolutely do have flights and pulled out a tray that had pre-made flavors (see my photos!) I ordered one as iced.
The flight was super cute and so fun to try. I'm not a flavored coffee type of gal, so this was a nice way to try flavors I might not have ordered as a full size. My daughter and I shared the flight and each did a rating in order of which we expected to like in what order and also in order in which we actually liked them. Silly, I know, but again, this was so fun.
My mother-in-law ordered a chai latte which she really likes. She does not like it really hot, so we asked if we could order it warm and they said absolutely.
We also ordered a couple of pastries which were fine. I ordered a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese. There was a lot of cream cheese in it, but that's not a big deal because I just scooped some aside.
Everything was good and the service was outstanding. I read while in the shop and also saw on their website that they employ adult persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As a former special education teacher, I love love love this.
Five stars for Spencer's Place!
