Amazing café, the workers are so kind and sweet, I ordered the Monte Cristo and they happened to be out of raspberry preserves and asked if strawberry worked instead and it was incredible. Their drinks are obviously amazing too with fun seasonal flavors. 100/10

We just saw them yesterday at the Ames Farmer's Market. The best tasting gluten free cookie and coffee cake muffin I've had! A real treat for those of us that have to be gluten free!

Our family loves this coffee shop. We're so grateful to have them in our downtown district. A must stop for all your coffee and syrup needs!

Love stopping here when we are in Nevada. Coffee is very good, and made with homemade syrups. Had the cinnamon toast crunch latte.

Love this local coffee shop & all the syrup flavors they offer. Plus, it’s super kid friendly! Also, another bonus is that it’s connected to Main & Market, a unique & fun shopping experience!

This was a delightful little find that had vegan options. It may be one of the first and only times I’ve ever been able to have a bagel with actual vegan cream cheese!!! I know there are more option options. Will definitely be back.
