A quaint coffee shop over in West Ames. This place is my absolute favorite study spot. There are…read moreplenty of tables. My favorite spot is the high top tables that face the windows. They are a great spot to wire in and get work down and they have outlets. Their drinks have a large variety. They have smoothies for when you dont need the caffeine late at night. They also have a decent variety of pastries. The part that makes Milo unique is the community. I realize it sounds cheesy so let me explain myself. All the baristas are really friendly and nice. They welcome you and do all the standard stuff, however if they recognize you the visit is even better. I guess that what I'm trying to say is. Come to Milo to try it. Then come back again and again cause it only gets better.

Drinks were almost as much as…read morethe food with my bill $13ish before tip for a smoothie that claims to be made from fresh fruit and is made from processed smoothie concentrate that is made with real fruit + a salty maple latte. The latte was too salty and too sweet and the espresso shots were weak while the milk wasn't frothed properly to be a real latte. I can't accept that just because I'm in a small town or a state like Iowa, quality needs to be compromised. There was not a design in my latte either and it definitely wasn't possible with the milk that was frothed.

Due to winter I haven't been to Cabin Coffee as often as I plan to in better weather but my…read moreexperience has been notably positive. The food is good and worth the money but the service is what sets the drive through apart from other local businesses. The staff are unusually interesting, intelligent, friendly and thoughtful people. I also appreciate the small things - the mint with the meal and the biodegradable to-go box. Owners really care. "Iowa Kind" is working well here.

Stopped in for a coffee and breakfast bagel on our trip back from Wisconsin…read more The coffee was good and hot with plenty of flavors to add if that's your thing but I like mine bold and black. Good stuff. The breakfast bagel with Swiss, sausage and egg was huge and served extremely hot but lacked flavor and since we were anxious to continue our trip home I forgot to grab salt, pepper and other condiments (my bad) it was a bit flavorless. Super nice staff and a cool place to visit.

This is the CUTEST coffee shop and bakery!!!! Located in the quaint downtown of small town Perry,…read moreIA and just opened about a week ago. You walk into the beautiful brick building, wood floors and it smells scrumptious. You are welcomed by the cheery staff and an assortment of handmade, locally crafted items from candles to crocheted items. Up toward the counter you have a long glass case to view all the yummy eats from egg and cheese scones, cookies, HOMEMADE BREADS, and I got the cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing. Beverage wise, they serve the basics, coffee, lattes, mochas, teas and hot chocolate. The ladies/owners were super friendly and treated us like we were family. There is a large area with tables and chairs that would be great for conversing, working, or a meeting. They even have a cool "back entrance" to the cute woman's clothing boutique Backwards Boutique. Will definitely be going back. A new shiny gem you must try!!

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.

As a citizen of this town I am SO HAPPY to have a place like TheDaily Boss for high quality coffee!…read moreThey use local roasters, the morning bell in Ames! Step inside to be transported to a very fun eclectic 70's vintage vibes.

This will be my new go-to coffee spot for sure. Added bonus as a plant mom myself, they've got some beautiful indoor plants! If you haven't checked them out yet, what are you waiting for!?

The location is sort of hidden in the church that its in, but when you go in, you wouldn't have expected a cafe inside. The place had nice natural lighting and there were a lot of wall plants everywhere. There was a lot of seating and some creative ones such as having church pews at a table. We went in the morning and it was not at all busy. A lot of campus students usually come in and order takeout from what I've seen. The coffee options were great and the price is comparable to Morning Bell in Ames Town. They have a system of using reusable cups and an option for if you buy their reusable cup, you can get discounted coffee. What a great deal! The service was good and the coffee was quick. they made latte art in our coffee and I always appreciate that. I got a honey latte and the sweetness ratio was perfect, and the drink itself was smooth. Overall, come check this place out if you ever get the chance to.
