Cafe Milo
4800 Mortensen Rd, Ames, IA
Crema's Take
“Cafe Milo is a welcoming refuge in Ames where passionate baristas craft thoughtful espresso drinks and chai tea while you settle in at one of their many charging stations, making it equally perfect for a quick coffee with your spouse or a full study session. Their homemade pastries—especially the cinnamon rolls—and surprisingly good light fare like pesto turkey caprese sandwiches punch well above typical coffee shop food, all at prices that feel genuinely fair. The quiet, comfortable vibe and attentive service keep people coming back weekly, even when the line moves a bit slower during busy mornings.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.
