Just found out about this spot today. Trying to find more local coffee spots. The coffee they use is amazing. Drinks were ready super fast and there was no wait. A decent amount of space to come and hang out and talk. Staff was all overly friendly which is very nice and welcoming. It is not generic corporate script "Welcome in" without looking at you. Some wonderful people working here and a wonderful mission. Thank you for the awesome drinks and the friendly smiles we will definitely be back soon.

What an amazing little coffee shop gem. Upon walking in you are welcomed with the biggest smiles and upbeat attitudes. The main mission of this shop is absolutely amazing. The staff couldn’t be more amazing. It was a breath of fresh air seeing all of the genuinely happy individuals working with ease and the joy was radiating out of this shop. All of the drink options, food, and prices are very well displayed and visible. The Wi-Fi is so easy to access with an easy QR code to scan and get you right in so you can connect with ease. The staff goes above and beyond to get you exactly what you want. I will tell you, for the price you pay and atmosphere you get, you will get an absolute wonderful experience. The indoor and outdoor area are set in a comfy and cozy setting, but there is a nice little nook to get work done as well. Noise level is minimal. The only good problem I encountered, was there wasn’t enough parking close to this lovely shop. Thank you for giving me a truly wonderful experience with delicious coffee exactly how I like it and an easy going environment to get some work done.

Spencer's place is a coffee shop located in Surprise that employs individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They recently celebrated their 4th anniversary and opened a second location nearby as well. The front doors were wide open on a beautiful Arizona spring day, and Racquel and Heidi greeted me with big, friendly smiles. I was eyeing the pastries on the counter when Racquel started talking to me about the pop tarts. I decided to have one, and she recommended I have her warm it up. It was like eating a warm peach cobbler... comfort food. Heidi walked me through different drinks and helped me decide on one of their specials this month. The sign board of specials changes theme with each month, and being that it was April, the theme was all blue drinks in honor of Autism Awareness month. I enjoyed my berry breeze botanical with lotus natural energy and added coconut milk. It was bright and refreshing...thank you Heidi. As I was taking photos and video of the shop, Racquel continually smiled and waved. She came over to check on how I liked my order, and we got to chatting. She even walked me over to show me her portrait on the wall of staff caricature photos. Her energy was so positive and electric, and it really was much needed light in my day. The majority of the customers left with the baristas waving goodbye and saying their name. So the shop obviously has loyal customers. Raquel definitely made me feel special when I left as she remembered my name and gave me a big smile to go.
