Description

Nestled in the heart of Ames, this popular dining spot offers a mix of hits and misses. While some menu items, like the French onion soup and various vegetarian choices, receive high praise for freshness and flavor, certain sandwiches, including a notably underwhelming chicken salad option, leave diners wishing for more substance. The café boasts a cozy atmosphere, ideal for casual dining or work, enhanced by friendly staff and self-ordering kiosks facilitating faster service. Though prices can be steep and portions modest, many agree that the quality of food makes it a worthwhile stop for a tasty meal.
