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.

Best coffee and coffee blended drinks in Story County. Why spend more for bad coffee elsewhere when you can get excellence for less here? They will happily make you something off-menu too. A great selection of LPs and good, used stereo equipment. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a small place and popular, so there can sometimes be a bit of a wait but the quality of the coffee makes it worthwhile. Quirky, fun, eclectic, locally owned little shop. One of Ames' hidden gems.

Coolest study/chill hangout spot in ames. Nobody makes better coffee, their ingredients are top notch. I keep coming back to try all the flavors and flip through the extensive record collection.

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!

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.

Great owner, knows what he's doing, usually the guy making the coffee.
