“The food is good (in both places)
And the service is quick and an excellent place to study the atmosphere I'd odd since you essentially have a cafe and a Greek restaurant smashed together but both atmospheres are nice just an odd combination
Good place to people watch as well but beware of protesters as it's right by the library and people like to protest there
(Thankfully they arnt protesting the cafe)“

They are so nice and go out of the way to help make your event special. The wall of windows looks over the whole campus. We could see the Heartland Baptist Church's steeple at 3333Stang road!
We will be back“

“This is my favorite place in Ames, each time I want to relax or cheer up I ended up going there. I am a student and I love it that I can work from there. The fire place makes the atmosphere pretty cozy. The staff were always nice. I remember once I came there pretty late that they were about to close but they accept me to stay and have my food and edded up giving me some free cookies that was left from that day bakary. I went to other branches of banera bread but non of them were as clean and pretty as this one.“
