Crema's Take

“Tosca is a stylish, cozy haven that doubles beautifully as both a daytime coffee destination and evening hangout, with a particularly inviting patio that's perfect for bringing your pups along. Their espresso-focused coffee earns genuine praise for its strength and quality, while the kitchen puts real care into well-crafted food and their notably excellent fries. It's the kind of place locals make a point to return to, where you can settle in for a slow sit surrounded by fresh indoor plants and that perfect blend of laid-back comfort and thoughtful design.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late. Dog friendly.

Solid spot with a stylish, cozy vibe. The place looks great, and it works both for daytime coffee and an evening drink. Food and coffee were OK overall—nothing mind-blowing, but enjoyable. Service was good and friendly, though pacing could be tighter. Prices feel fair for the…

We love this place and make a point of eating here every time we visit Ames. The coffee is strong and the food is well crafted and delicious. We always sit on the patio with our pups.

Loved this quaint space! We didn't get food, only coffee, but it was spectacular! Their patio is so inviting, and the inside is fresh and fun, with lots of indoor plants! Loved that they were open til 9!
