The overall vibe of the place is calming, which helps me in these hectic times. Private parking lot, great layout, helpful staff who know their store. Excellent produce. Terrific deli and meat market. Numerous options that you cannot obtain in most store. Located just West of downtown Ames. I try to stop here every time that I am in Ames, as I find items that I cannot get elsewhere, and they add to my quality of life. Some interesting food options always intrigue me too!

I also love their juice bar and always get a juice to go. It is their hot bar that I love the most but especially their soups! It is hard to find any vegetarian soups but they always have at least one! So far every soup I have tried, I have enjoyed a lot! A few times after getting a small bowl for there, I get a big bowl to go. I also enjoy their deli too. I love how they even have vegan options there too! I don't do much grocery shopping there but usually go for the food lol. It really is a little hidden gem! Ended up becoming a member a few years ago because of how much I love their hot bar! Other part I love, they have some of the most amazing bread made in shop, not always lucky enough to get some but when I do, it has to be best bread around!

It all tasted so fresh, and the baklava was absolutely to die for! My husband was unsure as to which one he should get, so the gentleman working recommended the selection of baklava that we got. I am so glad that he did because all of it was phenomenal. Service: The service was great. I definitely feel as if they went above what would be considered basic service and were all incredibly friendly and pleasant to interact with. They were quick and efficient and definitely knew what they were talking about. Ambiance: Being a smaller international-type grocery store, it was really pleasant and comfortable to be in. The selection can be overwhelming, but not in a bad way. There is just so much to choose from, and I feel like every time you go in, you will find something new that you didn't see before. The selection of items they have is incredible. It's not overly noisy either, and it smells amazing as soon as you walk in.

The prices are fine, some are a little high and some are less than other places.

I had a coupon, so today got a sandwich, the loaded potato soup and some garlic bread to dunk into the soup. The steak with carmelized onions was ok. This is the first time I've gotten potato soup that was anything but loaded. There are potato chunks, some bacon and the taste of cheese in it and it's thick. After getting this soup maybe 5+ times over the years, this is the first time I've actually gotten the "loaded" part and it's really good. I think it depends on the workers. Mix it up and scoop from the bottom. My previous entries about this soup essentially said "where's the loaded part?" Staff was very friendly. Place was clean. And today, I'm glad I got the soup.

Has to be a tax write off so the owner can invite his friends over and drink in his bar. If that's not the case, the guy is scared of making money. I could go on and on about how this makes zero sense. Add a bar to the most well known spot for food after the bars in Ames, but don't sell alcohol to the people that hold this business together. And it's not like anyone is asking for beer at 2:00 am. We're talking an hour or two before that when students are leaving the bars early and grabbing a slice. Let us enjoy a beer with our pizza during that window. That's prime time for your actual customer base. Jeff's was perfect without the bar, but why add one if you're just not going to use it when it actually makes sense?

Best place to buy groceries in town, period. Maybe it's because I'm in there so often, but they're…read morealways extremely friendly, and it really works as a "one stop" place. They have the alcohol and spirits section, the health food section, a Starbucks, the hot food, Chinese food, and bakery section, and of course, the pharmacy and medicine section. The front desk also does postal services, and you can recycle cans and bottles as well. The store has always been beyond helpful. While I haven't always been met with an "Employee of the Day" attitude (which I would never expect), they've always been pleasant enough and extremely friendly. I use my reusable bags constantly, and cashiers have never had any problem with them. When I point out a price error, a manager is called over and the price is honored. In fact, I went to Starbucks (inside the Hy-Vee) the other day, and while checking out, the cup was knocked onto the ground and spilled all over the floor. I was mortified - to say the least. (Now I wait until I'm done shopping to get my Starbucks). Within seconds, two employees were there cleaning it up, and a manager asked me what coffee it had been. By the time I was swiping my card, he brought me another version of my drink - free of charge. Seriously, an amazing grocery store. When I have to travel around the midwest and go to other Hy-Vees for groceries or whatnot, I'm always sorely disappointed compared to this one. This one has spoiled me.

Food: While the ingredients were fresh, the flavor just wasn't there. The ratio of ingredients to…read morebread/tortilla is pretty off as well. The entire inside of the sandwich would fall out with every bite; it was pretty frustrating. Same goes for the wrap. It was overstuffed (normally not a bad thing), so each bite resulted in the inside falling out as well as the torn tortilla, which made it almost impossible to hold to eat. The meat was dry (chicken and roast beef), so both items could've done with a bit more sauce/flavor and the sandwich was supposed to be toasted; they didn't toast it :/ The price point for the quality of food just isn't there. It's overpriced for subpar food. Service: Possibly all of the employees said "Welcome to Jimmy John's" as we entered. One employee in particular (a slightly older gentleman) was really welcoming and said hello as we approached the counter. The other employees didn't really look up much, besides one young lady (possibly a trainee), who seemed really irritated with our presence. Every time she made eye contact, she looked annoyed with us. Our food came out quickly though. It came out wrong, but quick. Ambiance: Overall, it was loud. No matter the spot inside, it was loud in there. The seating areas weren't really cleaned well (if at all?) with food debris scattered about; we wiped a booth down to sit and eat. We didn't get any pictures of our food because we really just wanted to leave. It was uncomfortable eating there.
