Lockwood Cafe

👍👍 Exotic place you can find in Ames. Everything is affordable. I ordered a glass of cold brew with crepes. They were nice for me, but you can skip them if you are not interested in sweet one. There is a gallery place so that you can enjoy some art pieces.

Van Hemert's Dutch Oven Bakery - Ames, IA
Bakery
🫤 Went in for lunch today and they had already stopped serving sandwiches, even though they are open until 5:30. Thought that was very odd. Second time this has happened to me so make sure you call before you go. The decorated cookie we bought also looked pretty sloppy compared to the ones in Boone. I...

Burgie's Coffee | South Ames
Cafe
👍👍 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 absol...

Clyde's Gastro Diner

😠 Just horrible. Used to be a great place to grab a meal, take it back to your room, and enjoy it. Open until 10pm, it was a great place to eat after failing your midterm. Now the menu can fit on a note card and half the time the stuff on the menu isn't available. For example since nobody goes there n...
