Crema's Take

Tucked into the basement of a historic church, Labyrinth Coffee feels like a secret worth sharing, with a genuinely warm team crafting exceptional mochas and creative drinks like blueberry lemonade that taste as good as they look. Their cozy, labyrinthine space offers plenty of room to linger with your laptop or meet a friend, and they've built something special around sustainability and community—their tipless model funnels gratuities straight into local school lunch programs.

We randomly found this place on Google Maps and decided to stop in. It's in the basement of the Collegiate Presbyterian Church. The main doors were locked when we arrived so we entered through the basement doors just to the left of the main entrance (photo attached). The latté and Lotus energy drinks we got were great! Good roast on the espresso, appropriate temp, and perfect coffee/milk ratio. I also love that they make all of their flavorings in-house! I felt good about spending my money here knowing that it would go towards a good cause, as well. There's plenty of seating, a play area for children, and lots of puzzles and board games should you want to meet a group of friends here. The staff was also very nice. Highly recommend!

I got a delicious lemonade with blueberries and even had sparkles! I highly recommend it, priced way better and tastes better than other corporate coffee chains! 10/10 ✨

Kind, personable employees, delicious food and drink options, and a wonderful atmosphere! I get lunch here most every week and I'm never disappointed, today I even got the cutest muffin I've ever seen!

Faves: flavored lattes, kids menu smoothies, ample cozy space, variety of seating options, sustainability focus, tipless! (With any tips going to a local cause -Ames school lunch hero program this month!) and location, so close to ISU, but with parking! The prices are also super reasonable and the staff is really friendly. This is a top study/work spot that you can feel good about supporting!

Stumbled upon Labyrinth while my daughter was at freshman orientation at Iowa State. Their mocha was one of the best I’ve ever had! I will definitely be back!
