So for some reason they are using a very heavy perfume inside of the coffee shop, the last two…read moretimes my coffee has actually smelled & tasted like perfume not coffee. 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.

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

We popped in on a Sunday afternoon and my kiddos each wanted some ice cream. While they didn't go with this gem's namesake (ahem, the nutty bar), they did enjoy a very generously scooped cookies and cream ice cream and a rainbow sherbert. Both were delish. The shop is clean, it has a great patio, too. The staff was super kind and patient with my noncommittal nine year old. Pricing was on point. This shop is open daily. It also features Blue Bunny ice cream, which is made just down the way in LeMars, IA. Next time I'm around, I'll be getting a frozen banana!

However, just across the street, we noticed that Wilder Thymes Natural Foods had opened right next to Art on 16th. Running this kind of successful business is a challenge as summer resort folks go home in the Fall, utilities costs are higher in the Winter, and there's competition from grocery stores who are increasingly selling organic goods and local Farmers Markets. Wilder Thymes Natural Foods offers bulk items, snacks, drinks, spices, cooking ingredients, frozen, dairy & gluten-free foods, personal care items and natural cleaning supplies. There's also a kitchen that features ready-made sandwiches to go, baked goods and take n bake entrees. And from their our own farm comes a wide selection of fruits, vegetables & herbs when in season. Best of Luck! Gayle and I will also continue to contribute our share whenever we are in town.
