Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Not a lot of outlets unfortunately. However there are three pokestops that you can reach!
David Zimmerman
Cozy coffee shop in downtown Ames. A good cup of coffee, and the scones are tasty. This is a good place to find a seat, grab a coffee, and read a book.

Bill and Jenn have the best place to get coffee in town. Definitely recommend it. Also, love their chicken salad sandwich for lunch.
Brittany Dueker
Was a great place to work. There are seats near the windows, a few power outlets, and great coffee. I did not, however, see a public restroom.
Alicia Borton
Excellent drinks (and baked treats) and fantastic staff. Great atmosphere for study and casual hang out or business meeting.

The place is nice and decent. Very friendly staff. I just would like to see a better menu (more options)!

Go to for black bean burgers and mocha smoothies. They could expand their menu, but with the seats always taken by loitering sippers, they couldn't really handle more people.

Great atmosphere, great food and coffee. The food is expensive, but good. Free WiFi. Free parking lots less than block way or paid street parking.
