Medlar is a cute coffee shop on the Main Street in Spencer.

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.

All of the candy is good but my personal favorite ends at the homemade caramel. They have the best caramel apples I have had anywhere, hands down. When I come to Okoboji this is my must stop for treats to bring back as well as my morning coffee. The service is quick and friendly. What else can I get here? Hot tea, greeting cards, teapots, colorful kitchen items, gifts, pie, cheesecake, cookies, homemade confections, nuts, ice cream and did I mention coffee? I am sure I missed telling you things. Go here. Have an ice cream cone in the afternoon. Life is more fun with a bit of a treat now and again.

Our oldest and I got gelato, while the other two kids chose pops: one root beer pop with a chocolate coating and one Oreo pop with chocolate and nuts.

Scooter's seems to be very hit and miss. Sometimes the coffee / lattes are great. Sometimes they…read moreare burnt and bitter. We have had very many rude encounters with the staff, although our more recent visits have been better. Maybe they've hired some kinder people. One of the most frustrating things is how skimpy they are with their drinks. I ask for no foam on my latte - so instead of frothing the milk less, they scoop out a full inch of foam and leave me with a 3/4 full drink. Not what I paid for. Or they ignore me and put 2 inches of foam on top. There is no in between, and it has happened every single time I've come here (10+ visits in the past 2 months). When my husband asks for less ice in his iced drinks, they either ignore his request and fill the cup absolutely full of ice, OR they put a few ice cubes but only fill the drink 2/3 full. I understand they're trying to save margins, but really? It's already a $6 drink, you can't spare 3 extra ounces? There is a decent rewards program when you download the app. Just scan before paying and you rack up points pretty quickly. They also have "double smile days" where you can get double points, just like Starbucks. However, for quality of drinks and friendliness of staff, I'd much rather go to Starbucks. Hopefully they can get some of the kinks worked out, or we won't be coming here any more. We keep giving them chances, but we're often disappointed.

While the selection is generally very good, and the people generally pleasant, the clerks were completely unapologetic about selling candy cigarettes (and candy chew). This lead to a long discussion in the car and some disagreement about the appropriate behaviour in such circumstances. So, I won't be back. I'll get candy from places that are quite literally less likely to corrupt (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette). So, you can see this a 5-star review as well as a 1-star review, and if you are a proponent of candy cigarettes, they have the widest selection I've ever seen. They are also overpriced, but for the selection it's a good deal.
