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.

My wife and I come here before work maybe once a week. It has never disappointed us. Sometimes there can be a wait for drinks, but totally understandable when there are a lot of people ordering drinks. Highly recommend the hearty breakfast burrito with salsa. We cannot wait to try the other stuff on the menu for dinner!

Got the Pesto Turkey Caprese and Carmel Corn coffee, and both were very good. Loved dining in and had plug-ins everywhere for charging my computer.

Perfect place to study! It’s a quieter atmosphere and there a plug ins everywhere which is nice as a student. Their cinnamon rolls are the best in town and their chai tea is great! Highly recommend!

Wow! One of the best coffee shops I’ve been at in a while. Passionate, talented baristas who crafted an amazing latte in an actual mug! Reasonable prices and a welcoming atmosphere. The avocado toast was really good and only cost $4! They have games to borrow and plenty of seating (tables, barstools, couches). Handicap accessible entrance (no automatic door) and bathrooms. They have water cups available next to the trash/dish return.

SLAY SLAY SLAY. This coffee house is comfy and cheap prices as well. Their food is better than Panera and easily half the price. Not to mention, their coffee is some of my favorite in town and beats Starbucks easily. They have a lot of seating and it’s very cozy and quiet. This is a perfect spot to hangout, study, play games, or literally just vibe. There are games and books and little things they have offered through the place to keep you entertained with your guests as well.
