We had the berry white (white chocolate + blackberry) and b-side (white chocolate + raspberry)hot drinks. Both were delicious! Such a cool vibe coffee shop! Only wish they came in mugs for those who enjoyed in the cafe
Wanted to support local so drove past Starbucks and popped in here. Jonathan greeted me right when I walked through the door, quickly made my two drinks and when I forgot and added a 3rd drink, he was great and did that one too with no complaining. Kept great conversation the whole time.
Super cute little hidden place but we'll worth it. All the drinks were amazing too ❤️
Best business owner in area! Love a lively, loving guy.
He is also a coffee GOD. If you're looking for a relaxing chill environment. This is the place. Gotta love the amazing coffee too.
Whole lotta love is a banger!
Friendly, fun and AMAZING coffee. We had Milli Vanilli and a custom drink that tasted like cinnamon toast crunch. The best coffee we have had in a very long time. Go here and nowhere else!
The Vinyl Cafe is a must visit in Ames. It has a ton of interesting records to flip through and look at. The owner/barista is awesome, friendly and attentive - wish I caught his name.
There is some of the most uniquely crafted coffees you'll find here - I had a banana and hazelnut latte that tasted just like a banana. The menu is extensive, so take your pick.
They have free wifi and power outlets for those wishing to study or get work done. Great hangout spot. Fantastic background music.
Highly recommend!
Innamoratissimo! The city’s definitive hole in the wall cafe downtown, under what was the old Bike World / Two Wheel Travel on Kellogg and Main. Great aesthetic, not too big nor too small. NOT wheelchair accessible due to the almost microscopic stairway into the place. Menu features all of the staples of a drinks-only cafe, including unique lattes and dozens of flavors for Italian sodas. The place can be packed one minute and empty the next, so plan accordingly. The staff are great and knowledgeable about their products.
The true hidden gem of Ames. A perfect experience every time. The only things that match the quality of their coffee, is the distinct atmosphere of the café, and of course, the grand dukes of drink staff themselves. Stop in, peruse the record collection, relax at a table for a while, and take your mind off things a while.
Fun, friendly, full of life!
I'm coming here after a long time and the shop owner gives the same cordial behavior.
Also come here if you're into vinyl records.
