Vinyl Cafe

The Vinyl Cafe is a must visit in Ames. It has a ton of interesting records to flip through and look at. The owner/barista is awesome, friendly and attentive - wish I caught his name.

There is some of the most uniquely crafted coffees you'll find here - I had a banana and hazelnut latte that tasted just like a banana. The menu is extensive, so take your pick.

They have free wifi and power outlets for those wishing to study or get work done. Great hangout spot. Fantastic background music.

Highly recommend!

Met Blake, the Owner. Very down to earth guy. Love how passionate he is about what he does. He has a creative imagination when it comes to making his coffees and the place is a cozy little area where he has old school vinyl records.

Some of the best coffee in town!! 10/10, great vibes and lovely owner.

Very eclectic atmosphere with beautiful artwork and friendly staff.

Great coffee,great atmosphere and outstanding service. I highly recommend this coffee spot!

The best part about this place is the atmosphere and the coffee. The record selection isn't expansive but throws a few surprises at you now and again. Try the Barry White!

Great atmosphere, great drinks, friendly owner. A great stop!

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Ames, Iowa. The coffee 👌 the vibe 🤘 and the service is so chill and personal.

Great coffee and vibes. The owner is really kind and is a great barista. It is loud and sometimes busy, but is a great place to hang out and socialize or study if you don't need the quiet.

LOVE this place!! I brought my friend here this past weekend since I've been dying to check it out, and I'm so glad we went. They're just starting to make coffee again but the owner, Blake, let us come in and look at all of the vinyl they have. We ended up staying for about two hours just talking about music! Definitely will start going on a regular basis!
