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. Looking to start your day in Ames with a morning pour over or simple espresso? Morning Bell is your place.

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.

Their speed is absolutely terrible. Don't go here. Takes 45 min to make a drink! Absolutely a…read moredisgrace

I'm not a coffee drinker, yet KaffeGeita had such a good vibe. I bought a roasted iced coffee for my partner and browsed this place. It's less than a mile west of the 35 and equipped with a drive-thru option. There are lots of pastries and sandwiches, WiFi for interior seating, and super cool T-shirts. 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.

The young lady behind the counter explained that they have a variety of herbs and teas and could mix and match any to our liking. They had a lot to choose from as well as hot and cold teas you could consume on the spot. I ordered a matcha. My wife and mother each had a chai latte. We enjoyed our teas at one of the small tables outside the shop and made the most of a beautiful spring morning in Ames. We visit Ames fairly often and will keep Little Woods on our short list.

The Burgason's are all around great people who chat with their customers and befriend them & create spaces that people can meet to rest and enjoy. My Favs include but are not limited to: iced vanilla latte with oat every time, raspberry white choc scone, & a farmer's burrito to make your taste buds jump. being greeted by name when you're a regular, sitting outside before it's too hot, taking selfies with their stunning building.
