My gf likes the front two rooms, but all the way at the back is where you'll find me. That's where you'll find the old treasures. And that's my happy spot. A must stop for us now in Slater when we are cutting between Ames and the metro. And if you are in Slater check out Cole's too. You won't be sorry.

Unfortunately, I've moved away HOWEVER I have successfully had so many of my friends become love interests to this location, that they're informing me when my favorite cold brews are back in stock! THEY NOW HAVE COLD BREW CANNED. So you know I purchase like 4 everytime I am in. Everyone and their mothers know I love this location, I've never had an issue with staff, who's incredibly kind, respectful and super fast to deliver drinks and food. They're drive through is speedy and if you're an addict like myself, giving your number to get points towards more drinks makes my entire life.

It's a place that feels like a big chain, but it's just very modern and techie that makes good coffee. My kids loved getting the hot chocolate flight and I enjoyed my Halloween themed coffee flight as well. My husband got the pistachio latte and really enjoyed it, and both of us liked our scones. The only thing that really really threw me off was opening the door and instantly being hit by a wave of something that smelled like a hairdresser's place. I don't think I've ever been to a coffee shop with decent coffee that didn't smell like really good coffee. I don't know if it's the spaces nearby (it's in a strip) or the fact that it's a workspace and so the smell dissipates, but it was very offputting to have that smell in a coffee shop. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Sisters In Cheese - Madrid, IA…read more We stopped in at Sisters In Cheese and were so glad we did! I had the Breakfast Quesadilla, and my wife enjoyed the Benny Sammie with added Canadian bacon - both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere here is quaint and charming, making it a perfect little spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. If you're passing through Madrid, IA, or anywhere nearby, I highly recommend making a stop here. Great food, great people, and a great experience all around!

The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats!
