Delicious coffee! I don’t typically enjoy matcha, but I have theirs a try after a friend recommended it to me and it was so great! I have gotten it a few times since then and it’s becoming a favorite! The staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions, and the pastries are so yummy! Overall, such a great addition to the Ames cafe scene!

went here for a relaxed breakfast and ordered chai latte and breakfast burrito. Chai was ok hoping it could get more flavor in it but it was not as strong as i would expect. Breakfast burrito was really good! It took quite awhile for my food to be served but not too long. The place is really nice and clean and well decorated. Good for hanging out with friends or family. Price is nice too around 10-20$ for drinks and foods.

My new top choice for high end coffee in Ames ! Their Avocado Toast was exceptional as well! I’ll become a regular :-)

This is one of the cutest diners/ coffee shops that I have been in in a very long time. It has a very open and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is open and cute with a bit of a retro feel. The staff was super friendly and prompt. And the coffee, On. Point. 100% recommend checking this place out!

Went with my friend for brunch and we both LOVED IT. The latte I got was so good my friend ended up ordering one later. The food was delicious. And the staff was LOVELY. I will definitely be returning.

The pour over coffee was so smooth. I'm trying to cut sugar and creamer from my diet and Daytime might be the ticket. Getting to know Stan's passion for his beans and entire process was a delight as I waited for the pork tacos. They were really tasty but I could have enjoyed three or four of them if it was my lunch or dinner. I'll be back for sure.

It was our first time here & we really enjoyed it! We didn’t realize there was a different menu for Weekend Brunch but there were still good options to choose from. Coffee is really delicious, like others have said, & the barista gave helpful input when deciding on which one we’d like best. The portions weren’t small & it was very filling. Service was a bit slow when delivering water & silverware but it was a busy Sunday brunch. Staff was very friendly nonetheless(:

Oh wow this place does not disappoint. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The food and the presentation is amazing. We had lattes which were beautifully made and delicious. This is a gem to be right here in Ames.

Relaxed atmosphere with some serious coffee. Food was good and different. Not my favorite avo toast in town, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. This is not a drive thru style place and does not put off a rushed vibe by any means. Relax and enjoy the peaceful environment.

Very friendly staff and pretty fast service. Menu was limited but nonetheless had some delicious options! Ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup and it was good. Their breakfast burrito was unlike your traditional burrito, VERY delicious! Ordered caramel lattes and couldn’t put them down. Nice and inviting ambiance. Such a cute diner!
