But the space is so amazingly eccentric, it's enjoyable to just sit and look around. The coffee is roasted on site, good flavor nice balance.

The first time I threw the coffee away and chalked it up to someone with lotion on their hands. Today, I did go in to complain and the I didn't notice the smell inside because I had already inhaled so much of it on my coffee cup, but when I got outside, I realized my hair and my clothes all smelled so bad of perfume now as well. So instead of doing my errands I had to come home and take a shower and throw my coat in the washing machine and spray my Jeep out with alcohol. A coffee shop should smell like coffee and donuts not perfume. Very disappointed.

Medlar is a cute coffee shop on the Main Street in Spencer. We arrived early on a Saturday, within…read more30minutes of opening, so they didn't have everything ready but they got the operation up and running quickly. The coffee was great, but the best thing was the cappuccino muffin. We had to wait about 10minutes for the muffins to be ready, but that made these even better! The muffins fresh out the oven were the move. 10/10 quality. You should absolutely order a cup of coffee and a cappuccino muffin if they have them.

Was in town with my wife on business from California and we were looking for breakfast. There were…read moreonly a few cafes listed on Yelp but we saw this place while driving through town and decided to stop. It is definitely the place where the locals get breakfast! Lots of older folks gathered for coffee and breakfast. Exactly what you would expect in a small farming community! My wife and I both had the Bargain Breakfast which was two huge pancakes, two eggs and bacon or sausage. It was about $9 I think and was plenty of food with the big pancakes (I had blueberry pancakes for an additional $1.25). Pancakes were the star of the show. As my wife said, they were some of the best pancakes she had ever had. Perfectly cooked and not too dense. If we were ever in town again we would almost certainly come back to see what the locals were up to!

I often tell the owners that if The Hen House ever leaves town -- I'm outta here, as welI! The Hen House is my favorite shopping destination in Spencer. I also love to bring my out-of-town company to experience it for themselves, because it's tons of fun! They offer amazing seasonal items, baby gifts galore (ear of corn chew toy is my favorite staple gift), house wares, kitchen/dining, funking jewelry, pillos, lamps candles. . . Oh, and to receive a gift card from The Hen House is like finding a little lump of precious gold in your pocketbook.

Twisted Sips is one of our absolute favorite locally owned coffee shops. (Can you blame us for not…read morehaving just one favorite?) This little drive-thru gem is owned and operated by the amazing Bobbi Schmith -- a seasoned barista with a heart of gold and a gift for crafting drinks that hit the spot every single time. She's friendly, fast, and full of good energy, and it shows in every sip. The drinks? BIG, bold, and unique. We've tried everything from the Cadbury Egg Latte (pure Easter magic) to the Twisted Caramel Macchiato -- blended to perfection. They also serve up a full lineup of options: hot, iced, or blended... espresso or not. Coffee, tea, cold brew, Lotus, Red Bull, smoothies -- all the good stuff. And the food? Homemade breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and daily lunch specials that are actually worth going out of your way for. Everything's made fresh and served fast, which makes this spot perfect for busy families (like ours!) on the go. They even do fun promos -- like holiday giveaways, surprise discounts, and cheerful seasonal touches that make your day just a little sweeter. Pro tip: Check their Facebook page for daily food specials -- they change it up all the time, and it's always something good. If you haven't been to Twisted Sips yet, treat yourself. You deserve it. #TwistedSips #SpencerIowaEats #DriveThruGold #LocalLove #CoffeeWithHeart #SpencerIowa
