Welcome to A Special Blend
Brewing Up a Community of Acceptance
At A Special Blend, our aim is to serve you a great cup of coffee while simultaneously achieving a greater goal of providing employment and training for our special needs community. A job gives people a sense of dignity, purpose, belonging, and acceptance. Our goals for A Special Blend extend beyond creating jobs and a great cup of coffee. We believe our customers will be inspired by their interactions with our employees. We hope to create a loving community that values the differences in all people.
