• They offer almost every one of their drinks hot or cold, both iced and blended, which is a very nice change from most coffee shops that only offer iced coffees, or only certain ones. – Google Maps user who reviewed on 08/03/2009
• The staff is fantastic and so much fun! The food is great and the coffee is the best in town! – Ames Beat reviewer who reviewed on 12/08/2009
