Awesome cafe feel inside. Lots of little seating spots to read a book or get some work done. Smoothies, coffee and pastries. Secret gem, their cinnamon rolls! Best smoothies in Ames!

The service from the girls was excellent. I ordered a latte and got the cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious, but $7. The coffee is definitely not one of my favorites, I couldn't even finish mine. It seems like a really dark roast, it was extremely bitter and my latte tasted like a straight black coffee. The atmosphere is nice, but it gets especially loud when only 1/3 of the place is filled. I would absolutely come back again for the pastries and desserts.

This place is awesome. Always feels good to get greeted in as I enter in. Can't go wrong with any of the drinks, and I love the interior of the shop. Great place to sit down and get some work done.

Everything just hits on the average cylinders, except the service. The girls behind the counter did just fine. Unfortunately, the coffee was dark or light. A good coffee shop should have more choices and better tasting beans. They accommodated by adding honey, but it wasn't enough to make for unexciting coffee. Pastry choices were limited and atmosphere blah. They didn't meet hopeful expectations on a dreary day that wouldn't have taken much.

My husband and I got the chicken panini. Spoiler: 10/10 not a panini 😂 it’s. Sandwich with a chicken breast and some tomatoes pesto mayo? Mine was fine but His was grisly and inedible. Plus we got to share a napkin. Just the one. Loved that. Love the Cafe but I think the menu could do with some revisions.

I loved it here !! The latte was very good and the coffee was strong which I love. My friend got some fizz drink and I absolutely adored it, so i’ll try that next time!

Great environment! Cozy place to study with friends. Coffee was decent, I got the mocha s'mores. The waffle with berries and whipped cream was also pretty good! Overall, a welcoming atmosphere and a great place to hang out
