Love A Latte
1210 12th St #1721, Ames, IA
Crema's Take
“Love A Latte is a cozy Ames gem where the staff's genuine warmth matches the quality of their craft, earning consistent praise for both traditional espresso drinks and creative signature beverages that punch above their price point. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in to work, the quiet, well-maintained space welcomes you in, though their white mochas have apparently earned legendary status among even passing travelers. It's the kind of place where you feel the care in every cup and interaction—the rare coffee shop that nails the trifecta of excellent coffee, friendly service, and a space that actually makes you want to linger.”

Best place for coffee! Awesome staff!
Super cute coffee shop in town. Stopped by to work on my computer while waiting for a friend for about an hour. Quiet and friendly place. Great coffee options.
Nice little coffee shop! Very well kept and amazing service! Coffee is wonderful and cheaper than most coffee places! Would recommend!
Traveled through while on RAGBRAI 2025. Daughter and her boyfriend ran in to grab us coffee. I can’t even tell you how delicious my white mocha was. It is hands down the best I’ve ever had. The staff were friendly and efficient and the prices can’t be beat!!!!!!
Sweet spot to stop for coffee. Great service. Lattes were so good!
