Good food, caters to a more college age crowd, but we enjoyed the friendly staff and it was a good place to meet our family.

Overall the time spent there was nice, but two groups were served before us even though we arrived first and we had to call for the worker’s attention after being left for 15 mins waiting. We got left by our initial waiter while they put in orders for a group of 6 and group of 3 that were neighboring us. After we hailed another waiter we finally put our order in and got our 2 dishes after 50 mins of waiting. The food was really bright and delicious and they had really good music taste. After we switched waiters it was great, but being forgotten damped our mood a bit…

This is one of the cutest and best breakfast places i’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. I’m not one to leave reviews because i usually don’t care enough, but this place is now my number one breakfast place. From the breakfast burrito to my orange juice to the music and the beautiful interior decorating I can’t explain how absolutely amazing this place is. I would recommend this place to literally anyone I come into contact with. I love this place down to my core.

Leaving this review because I had a terrible customer service experience. We got there and it was pretty full, but most tables already had their food and drinks. We ordered and got it to go since there were no spots then sat at the bar. We waited for our food(2 burritos) for over 40 minutes. I saw other people order food after me and leave with theirs before I got mine. The staff even started rolling silverware right in front of me at the bar at eye level even though there was a huge amount of space on the bar not in front of a customer. There was no communication from staff about updates about the wait time. Even after getting our food there was no thank you, no sorry for the wait, they literally said nothing. The food was really good, but if you’re charging that much for food the least I ask for is staff to be nice and courteous, I didn’t feel comfortable or welcome at all.

The coffee and Bloody Marys are on point, the food not so much. The food arrives cold/semi-warm. They need a food lamp and/or plate warmer. No one checks on you to see if your food is good. Staff seems more concerned with flirting with each other. The eggs are slightly under poached, the eggs Benedict is served with cold bacon, but hollandaise sauce is homemade. There is potential, but food execution requires improvement.

My favorite coffee shop in Ames. I go here every weekend! Their drip coffee is amazing and the overall atmosphere is exactly what I need on a chill weekend morning. It can be very busy at points, so sometimes it’s hard to find a table if you’re going with a group, but otherwise no

We came here three days in a row while visiting Ames. Twice for dine in and once to go. The BLT is really special, the brown butter flavor really makes it unique. The orange juice and coffee are delightful and the chai is worth the trip alone. For my preferences, the Strawberry Goat Cheese toast needed some more crunch to it, but the flavor combination was good. We will be back again whenever we come through Ames- thank you!

Kid-friendliness: Our daughter is very friendly and curious and the staff was friendly and accommodating back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp from the parking lot to the front door, with two handicapped parking spots.
