“I love this place. Great everything. An awesome meeting place or to just sit & take a break. In a hurry the drive thru is quick & friendly. They treat you like family.

Dietary restrictions: Various options to chose from.

Parking: Parking is at least easy to get. The service is quick so I'm not waiting for a spot to park for long.

Kid-friendliness: Has more than coffee. Juice benders are a great treat for children. They have board games inside.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps. Inside or outside. Double doors“

“I love playing the Bingo games or other like games Starbucks sponsors. So when I needed to go to three separate Starbucks locations, where do I go in Ames? But then I remembered the one in Target! It worked!! The Barista was sweet as the other locations, and I got the stars that I needed when I placed my order. Yay!“

“My coffee maker died at home so I ran out before 545a--in my pj's--to order an office sized carry-out box of coffee. The service was impeccable!!! They offered to bring the coffee to my car (so I wouldn't make a fool of myself traipsing around under dressed) and even brought me a sample as I waited! THIS is the epitome of customer service! Thank you for being wonderful humans:)“

“The baristas are always wonderful! My only critique is the inventory. I typically go there around noon for my lunch break and about half of the time the impossible breakfast sandwiches are already out. I don’t eat meat so that leaves me with very few options. If you guys could order more that’d be great!“

“Great new small locally owned business in Ankeny. Healthy foods make you feel good!“

“It's rare for me personally to give this kinda high praise to Ames, for all three locations are on top of it! Also, thank you to your reward system! I absolutely love the spontaneous gift. Anyone who knows me personally knows coffee is my love language! A berista transformed my drink into something magical! Thank you so much for your expertise!“

“"No notes" good.

Parking: This Starbucks is in a Target, so it has that Target's parking. So there should be plenty of space, but ideal spots may already be taken.

Kid-friendliness: Use your judgment here. As I keep pointing out in this review, this Starbucks is in a Target, so while kids are welcome, I would still keep a close eye on them so they don't wander off into the wider store.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is wheelchair accessible. I'm not sure, but because it's in a Target general store, there might be riding scooters available if needed, though I didn't see any on my first visit so don't hold me to that.“
