A Special Blend

I'm really disappointed, I truly selected this place in an effort to support the employees. However, the food was unpalatable. Why offer food that is so under par? Whomever is managing operations needs to address this. Is it because of the nature of your premise that b it's somehow OK to not care about the quality of the food? The croissant wasn't cooked, the center dough was just that, uncooked dough. The cream puff was also undercooked, andchas only a dot of filling. The taste of the coffee is more like what one would expect at a gas station. I basically am justifying the $18 experience as a pure donation. I'm leaving disappointed and not to mention, hungry.
Wish I had time to go elsewhere to grab something, but need to get to a meeting
I love the concept of your establishment. Leading and Teaching your employees about quality products is so important.I sincerely hope y'all will fix this.

I love the heart behind this coffee shop. The staff is friendly and the music is good (covers of pop songs). There is plenty of seating and it is a nice place to meet up with someone to grab coffee or go alone to read a book or catch up on some work on your laptop.

Truly the best atmosphere and most chic coffee shop in town! A Special Blend has the most energetic and hardworking staff and you can see they have a blast doing their job. If you haven’t been, you absolutely MUST go! It’s a plus that all their coffee and food is actually really, really good!

This place is lovely. Staff are very friendly and kind. A bit of a longer wait than a big coffee chain, but definitely worth it. You can feel the love and effort put into all the drinks. Different specials depending on the time of year. I hope they bring some back in the future.

Edit: My favorite was the spring break frappe!

This is one of the GREAT coffeehouses in Greensboro, actually in all of the state. It employees people that all too often get overlooked and left out of regular employment, I am speaking of those with disabilities. They are most often more caring and have a better work ethic than those without disabilities. All they want is opportunity and acceptance. They also serve a meam cup of coffee and aothe terrific drinks. Maybe we can get a few more places like this instead of more corporate places.

Very friendly service! It’s been quite a while since I’ve been greeted at the door. The coffee wasn’t phenomenal but the staff and setting more than make up for it. Nice cozy room in the back with outlets if you need to study.

Incredible service from people who enjoy their jobs. So clean you'd swear it was brand new and some of the best specialty coffee I've ever had.

This is my new happy place in Greensboro. Great coffee and pastries. As summer approaches, I am exploring their amazing flavored iced teas and other cold beverages. A Special Blend refreshes the menu with new pastries selections and beverages to try. The staff provides great service and always makes my day brighter.

The coffee here is great. They just opened so the staff is still learning so it can take a bit of time to get your drink. Everyone is very friendly and willing to answer questions. It's clean and well lit with a friendly greeting when you walk in. Instead of giving you a number they give you a positive word on a slip of paper so when your order is ready they say "super" or "fantastic" customer.

This coffee is some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life. The people who work here are also very awesome.
