SARASOTA, Fla. - Employees at a Sarasota cafe are doing a lot more than working the cash register and serving up coffee.
Rise Coffee Co. and Nye s Cream Sandwiches is giving employees a chance for a better life. It s all about inclusion for these guys, all about giving them an opportunity which they haven t had forever, said Beaver Shriver.
Partnering with The Haven and Easter Seals, Beaver Shriver has about 30 employees working at the shop. He co-owns the business with Christian Nye of Nye s Cream Sandwiches.
Making ice cream sandwiches at Rise Coffee Co. & Nye’s Cream Sandwiches on State Street is a new job for Kristi Stadler.
Scooping up various flavors and sandwiching them between two cookies isn t always a perfect science sometimes the ice cream slides off the spoon but she s getting the hang of it.

Still, Stadler, a person with special needs, has been able to do all sorts of things she never could before at work. Her favorite part hasn t anything to do with frozen confections, though. It s more about meeting new coworkers, making friends and trying new things.
