Crema's Take
“This cozy corner spot in Ames has carved out a loyal following as the perfect pre-lecture pit stop, with genuinely excellent service and coffee that keeps regulars coming back on Friday mornings when the pricing hits just right. While the space is snug and seating can be tight, those who find a spot appreciate the quiet, clean atmosphere ideal for meeting friends or settling in with a laptop alongside satisfying sandwiches and smoothies. The friendly staff and quality drinks make it worth navigating the cramped layout, though be prepared for premium pricing on most days.”

Nice quiet place with a big hefty delicious sandwich, and a yummy strawberry smoothie. Also in a great locations where there is some convenient seating.
The iced tea sometimes tastes off.. but the service is nice and quick unfortunately there arnt any places to sit and it's quite cramped like it was stuffed into an avaliable corner It is very convenient to grab a drink right before class if you have one in the hall
Very clean the 2nd shift custodians do a wonderful job
Prices are excessive, but the sandwiches and drinks are good and the staff is helpful and pleasant.
This is my go-to coffee shop before I lecture at 9:00 in the morning :-) The coffee is great The service is excellent the pricing is fantastic especially on Fridays!
