Very cute vibe! Loved all the retro decor and the salt and pepper shaker collection. The food was amazing! I got the fall biscuits and gravy special. So delicious. Staff was very friendly.

I was visiting a friend in the area and we stopped in. There was no wait even though it was busy. Drinks and lemon blueberry oatmeal were good—i wish there was a place like this near home

Shaved Brussels with bacon, goat cheese, sunny side up on sourdough!!! SUCH a cute place. Find it in west Ames—The Dot is a happy little spot 💫

Really enjoy this place! My friend’s eggs did come pre salted though and they were a tad over salted! I love that they have a crafts table that anyone can do for free!

We were told we had a table it just needed to be cleaned but then they gave our table away. We waited patiently and they did it two more times. When we inquired as to what was happening we were told “maybe we just aren’t fast enough”. The woman behind the counter was extremely rude. And the waiter seemed confused. It doesn’t help that we were the only black family there. I’ve never had worse treatment in a restaurant.

Checked this place out one morning and tried one of their breakfast sandwiches. Was not disappointed! The overall vibe of this place is super friendly and cozy. You can tell the staff here really go above and beyond for customers.
Will definitely be coming back here in the future!

One of the best cafe experiences I’ve had in a while! The decor is adorable and the vibes are beyond cozy. My chai was amazingly delicious and an amazing blend too. BLT was very lovely on the bread they chose. The chip dip…. I don’t know what they put in it but that stuff’s addicting. Boyfriend and I are already planning to come again soon!

The 'Breakfast Sandy' is literally my favorite sandwich I have ever had in my life. Not an exaggeration. I love this place.

this was a great little place! our food was delicious: we had the lemon blueberry oatmeal, early grey and orange French toast and the breakfast burrito. All were wonderful. This is a buy before you eat place. Reading other reviews, not sure what people dislike about buying food before eating?? The staff was very helpful and kind. will definitely be going back.

Excellent food! The shaved Brussels toast is a must for breakfast and the broccoli Reuben is lunch. We got takeout two days in a row and everything was incredible.

What a delightful spot to dine! I absolutely loved this place and highly recommend. My family has varied dietary needs and preferences including carnivores, vegans and gluten free; and everyone was happy! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is innovative and comforting at the same time. The shaved brussel toast was to die for and the coffee drinks and cocktails were beautiful to look at and expertly crafted. If you haven't been here, go! We had to drive thirty minutes and it was well worth it!!!

Wonderful experience eating breakfast. Great food, great service and great vibe! Love! ❤️
We had high hopes, but this place was horrible. The French toast is actually just bread with nothing on it, the quesadilla and breakfast sandwich were equally as horrible. Would not recommend. The tip before service is not the way to go either.

This is a great restaurant. They offer a lot of delicious and atypical food options (see sunbutter banana sandwich on GF bread). Many veggie options and most things can be made gluten free. The food was delicious, the staff were kind, the dining room and bathrooms were clean. I could not ask for more, will definitely be back!
