Whether you’re looking to study alone or grab some coffee with friends, these are great options!
Arcadia Café
“A chill place for espresso drinks, pour-overs & teas”
This café is located in campus town, and it’s a cute little shop that is perfect for when you and your friends want to go somewhere to chill and talk for hours.
Café Milo
“Chic coffee shop offering artisanal coffee & tea, along with free wi-fi & gourmet light bites”
This coffee shop is adorable! I’ve been there, and they have SO MANY drink choices its almost overwhelming (in the best way). If you want a good cup of tea, this place is highly recommended.
Vinyl Café
“Great Coffee, music, records, and service”
Located in downtown Ames, this small café doubles as a record store. If you are a music junkie (like me), this is the best place to go and get some homework done and enjoy one of the café’s original beverages.
Stomping Grounds
“Much more than a ‘coffee shop’”
Stomping Grounds not only has amazing coffee, but also has the best breakfast food I’ve ever eaten. Although it’s a little pricey, its definitely worth the money!
Morning Bell Coffee Roasters
“Coffee, quiet, cozy”
This is the perfect coffee shop for when you need a quiet space to do homework!
Like I said, whether you are in need of social time with your friends or study time alone, these are the best places for both of those needs.
