I originally started going to Burgies because of a corporate event where their food truck was serving and was impressed with how good the coffee is. Since then my wife has became a fan. May I say while the coffee is good, I would only recommend if you are going on a coffee date or intending to stay here for a longer time. I have been in the drive thru multiple times, it doesn’t matter if there is a long line or not, the wait is always 15-20 minutes for two drinks. In addition the coffee shop is extremely expensive, while the price is $6-$7 comparable to most shops, the largest coffee they let your order is 16 oz, so your essentially paying double the cost to other shops in Ames considering your getting a small coffee
Good coffee, fun atmosphere, good service.
Always great coffee and coffee-blended drinks. Gets quite busy at times, so there can be a wait.
No allergens list on in store or online menu, my partner had a severe allergic reaction to the peanut butter that they put in the ‘lean green’ smoothie - doesn’t make sense for pb to be in that type of smoothie so why would anyone think to ask? For a place that acts invested in healthy eating and buying local it’s disappointing to see that they can’t even list the most basic allergen. They’re main selling point is looking like a pinterest board.
New hires. The lady taking orders for drive thru seemed like she didn’t want to be there. She didn’t even smile once. My food was passive aggressively handed me to me and my sunrise melt looked like something McDonald’s prepared for you, put together very sloppy. I go here often and haven’t had this kind of service from them. I didn’t recognize any of them so must be new staff working.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food. The Southwest breakfast burrito was perfect. My wife and I shared a generous white chocolate raspberry scone alongside a milk chocolate mocha that came with a turmeric and chai flavoring. The spice, creaminess, and excellent balance of sweet vs savory paired quite well with our light lunch. We’ll be seeing y’all again next time we drive through Ames!
Burgie’s has the best coffee in Ames. Their coffee doesn’t make me super jittery and it has a nice, smooth taste. I usually get a vanilla latte except for when there’s special syrups (like pumpkin spice or rose, etc). Drinking their coffee is enjoyable! Not to mention that their food tastes great too. I always get their Country Grind sandwich. It’s really filling and always comes out very hot! My partner always gets the Farmers Burrito and it’s also delicious. The price is great for the quality of food and coffee. Definitely try it if you have the chance!
A cozy place to work on homework, meet with friends or just to relax. Great food at great prices.
Good breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Coffee is also good. Don’t let the gas station location fool you
I like Burgies but what's up with the breakfast burritos being extra heavy on hash browns and little of everything else lately. I'd pay extra if it's a food cost thing to get some more eggs and meat in there.
Excellent coffee. I personally prefer half-flavor here. Food was just okay, but I'll need to give it another chance to fully evaluate it. Regardless, the quality of the coffee is what is most important to me.
I’m biased. I think most coffee isn’t all that great. This is because Burgie’s Coffee has ruined me with some of the best coffee you will drink. The friendly, efficient staff makes for a great visit.
Great except when full the noise makes having a conversation difficult.
I love this place. I have never had any problems getting what I need crom this store.
Burgies is a unique setting tucked into the same building as a gas station. This is Iowa though. We are open to what can be in a gas station! The coffee shop is tucked to the side so there are no feelings of being in a gas station/convenience store. My friend insisted we order the Country Grind sandwich because it's "the best" and she wasn't wrong! It was as delicious and beautiful! We were able to grab a seat next to the fire place and make breakfast extra cozy. She ordered a Cherry Lime Kombucha and I ordered a hot chocolate which I've had countless times before from Burgie's. It's always perfect. The staff are always friendly too!
Best cafe in Ames for coffee drinks! Love their fireplace. Their menu options are hearty. Good bang for your buck!
I'd recommend Burgies over Starbucks any day. No offense Starbucks. Love their coffees !!
Coffee was above average. Perfect place to study or hang out. Lots of outdoor seating. Easy in and out location and they have a drive thru.
You can't go wrong with Burgie's. It is standard cafe with a solid selection of coffee, tea, shakes, baked goods and sandwich items. The decor inside is cozy and industrial. The staff are friendly too! It is a great place to study or work, or just have brunch with some company. It isn't out-of-this-world but Burgie's is a solid little cafe out in Ames!
Probably the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Fresh ingredients. Good service.
