Burgie's Coffee | South Ames

I've been getting breakfast/drinks here for years. The staff is always kind and friendly. Food is always delicious. Today I ordered and had a lovely conversation with the barista in the drive through. She asked about my dog and just seemed like a wonderful person. I had just dropped my other dog off for surgery with a scary prognosis and a lot of unknowns. While I was waiting at the next window, I couldn't keep it together. I felt terrible that I maybe had scared her when she gave me my order but she asked me if I was okay and had lots of empathy for my situation. She gave me some kind words. It was a rare and genuine interaction that I just really appreciated. Thank you.

Good coffee! We were in town for a bit and I saw the sign when we exited from the interstate and had heard good things, so we had some seasonal coffees. My husband got a Pumpkin Chai, and I got a Maple Syrup Spice Latte with Oatmilk. They were good! Price-wise, pretty comparable to other local shops.

Stopped here on the commute back from work. The staff was friendly and explained how they weigh out their ingredients. The interior design was very chic. The Cortado and Lavender Oat Milk Latté I ordered were... PHENOMENAL!!! Probably the best Cortado I've had in some time. The crema on it was absolutely perfect. I had them add a touch of caramel to sweeten it up a bit. This is my new favorite!

Burgie’s has the best coffee in Ames. Their coffee doesn’t make me super jittery and it has a nice, smooth taste. I usually get a vanilla latte except for when there’s special syrups (like pumpkin spice or rose, etc). Drinking their coffee is enjoyable! Not to mention that their food tastes great too. I always get their Country Grind sandwich. It’s really filling and always comes out very hot! My partner always gets the Farmers Burrito and it’s also delicious. The price is great for the quality of food and coffee. Definitely try it if you have the chance!

Burgies is a unique setting tucked into the same building as a gas station. This is Iowa though. We are open to what can be in a gas station! The coffee shop is tucked to the side so there are no feelings of being in a gas station/convenience store. My friend insisted we order the Country Grind sandwich because it's "the best" and she wasn't wrong! It was as delicious and beautiful! We were able to grab a seat next to the fire place and make breakfast extra cozy. She ordered a Cherry Lime Kombucha and I ordered a hot chocolate which I've had countless times before from Burgie's. It's always perfect. The staff are always friendly too!
