"Stopped in 15 min before closing on our way to Minneapolis today. Cute coffee shop but guy working the register was rather surly. Didn’t like answering questions cause he clearly thinks he’s smarter than everyone. After paying overhead him telling the female employee that he wasn’t making any additional coffee and if someone ordered coffee before they closed to give them an Americano cause “they won’t know the difference.” Good luck to anyone watching their caffeine intake since there’s a difference between coffee & espresso. Overall lattes were nothing special but not terrible either."

"Conveniently located right off the freeway is this cozy gem for great coffee and a whole lot more. My decaf Sumatra was just right, and the "cabin" decor was pleasant and comfortable. Drive through service too! Friendly staff!! Closes at 4:30 pm. GREAT LUNCH SANDWICHES TOO!! UPDATE 2022: STILL OUR FAVORITE!!"

"Went through the drive through today & there was a car in front of us. We sat behind them probably close to 15 minutes, I'm not sure what took so long but felt like forever for a coffee shop drive through. When my husband went to pay the gal at the window asked him: "Would you like to leave a tip? No pressure though." I feel like saying that made it obligatory for us to tip, then she asked how much. If you are asking for a tip in a drive through coffee shop then maybe you aren't being paid enough...Just made the whole experience a little uncomfortable."

"This is my go to if I'm in Ames. The tumbleweed is my favorite. They have a wide variety of white coffee drinks which i find more flavorful than most dark roasted coffees."

"Really cute place and great coffee! I took my 4 year old for a "tea party" and it was a lot of fun. My daughter loved the raspberry steamer, which the barista made at the perfect temperature so my little one didn't burn her mouth. I got the tumbleweed (which tastes just like a snickers) and they far surpass Starbucks in taste. I have also gotten the turtle mocha before and it was equally delicious. The chocolate chunk scone was mom and daughter approved. They had puzzles and games so we could play something during our tea party. Staff was very nice and friendly. We will definately be back!"
