    Their freshly roasted coffee and outstanding bariste produce the most amazing cappuccini in the United States. That is not hyperbole. Also, three words: chicken tortilla soup.

    It might get overshadowed by the coffee, but it's definitely the best hot chocolate in Ames!

    Terrible customer service. :( I ordered two iced coffees on my way out of town while it was slow inside, and it took ten minutes. The barista was chatting away with his friend in line

    Go to Cafe Milo and order a sandwich but instead of coffee get an Italian soda. The price might throw you off but the taste won't.

    Pay $8 for the smallest sandwich. In general over priced.
