Labyrinth Coffee
159 Sheldon Ave, Ames, IA
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.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.
