Our food was delicious!!! The portion sizes for the price is perfect and the ingredients are FRESH! Everything tasted wonderful and it wasn't too much. We also got a smoothie, which was SO GOOD! It was very well blended and somehow stayed blended? Lol. Other places tend to half a** blend things and they wind up separating, but that was not the case here thankfully. It was also packed with flavor. They even have kid friendly options on the menu, too. Inside is more on the "intimate" side. It's small, but not cramped. The decor is upbeat and it's delightfully bright. It was a bit "noisy", but they blend smoothies, so ‍ lol. We didn't mind because it wasn't too loud; we still had a normal level of conversation without having to yell. I'd say it was an average noise level; not too loud and definitely not irritating. Overall, this is definitely a fantastic lunch spot! We will be going back to try more of their menu :)

I usually have great experiences at this location, but at the latest I was disappointed. I spent…read more$15 on a full meal, and every ingredient fell short of the regular proportion. I received a couple spoonfuls of corn, a paper-thin quesadilla, and my salsa was missing. I know working food service is difficult, but at the end of the day people are paying for food and you are providing it. Please train your workers better. :)

Our food was hot and the everything bagel sandwich is really good! The spicy sausage burrito was a bit on the small side, but that's ok; we made sure to order 2 the next time lol. It had good flavor though! My matcha latte was perfect! It had the right amount of sweet and was mixed well. The Oreo blender was also delicious! It was blended together really well and the mixture of sweet vs "bitter" is great! Service: We went through the drive-thru and the service was fast! Not only were they efficient, but they were polite and didn't cut us off while we were placing our order. They were patient as well, seeing as we had never been there before and had no idea what to try lol. They greeted us with smiles when we approached the window and made sure that our items were carefully handed to us without making us feel like we needed to hurry up. Ambiance: There's not really much to say about the ambiance since it's a drive-thru only location. There is plenty of room in the drive-thru which is a plus! It's kept clean of any debris and the lawn area is well maintained.

There are many nursing homes and elderly people living in Story City, and if you need a place loaded with kindness to get away for a little bit, this is the place.

I really like is a coffee shop with a cool, informal vibe that opens early. Throw in a nice window and some big ass plants and I am in! Filled with plenty of seating, a couple of outdoor tables for the nice days and some larger tables for those with actual work to do, it's easy to spend a chunk of time here. I am sure if I lived nearby, I'd be here all the time. In fact, if I was looking for a home in Ames, I'd probably just draw a circle within walking distance and start my search there.
