    I live very close to Cafe Milo so I am here quite often. It is always a good experience. The staff is very friendly and they have some really good drinks. You can also get a free refill if you get just a drip coffee which is nice if you plan on spending some time there. It is also a great place to go to get some work done as it is generally a pretty quiet atmosphere. Overall great coffee shop in west Ames, definitely recommend checking it out!

    My boyfriend and I came for a late breakfast and coffees. We both ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich, very reasonable priced ($3.95). It tasted good, but nothing special. I would say it's equivalent to a bagel sandwich at Dunkin' Donuts. I got a hot vanilla latte and my boyfriend got an iced mocha, both okay. I enjoy supporting small businesses so would prefer coming here instead of a chain. However, I would be coming for the convenience (located a minute from my boyfriend's place) versus the love for their food/drinks. On another note, it seems like a great place to study for a student!

    Cappuccino

    My daughter lives nearby and every time I come to cafe milo, I have a great experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful with recommendations. Today I had a breakfast bowl which was really yummy with fresh tomatoes and spinach added. Also had a cappuccino and later a cold brew which were both delicious. I like my coffee and rich and strong and that's what I got. Spent a couple hours working on my laptop. The barista helped me with the wifi password and the environment was very nice to sit and work. Bathroom was very clean too. Will return for sure whenever I come to visit!!

    Honeynut latte

    I typically come here for meetings and I thoroughly enjoy their honeynut latte. It's my special treat I get for myself maybe twice a month. It's a little pricey here but worth it. It gets relatively busy during the day with students but great place to have a meeting not very loud even for how busy it gets.

    Nice lounge area

    Their speed is absolutely terrible. Don't go here. Takes 45 min to make a drink! Absolutely a disgrace

    I often get the Miel latte and recently I also tried the HoneyNut latte which was also great.

    We always try to eat here when we are in town to visit family. The menu is quite good but the…read morespecials are usually even better. We had the Baja Shrimp Taco special last Wed and restaurant week started so we had the entire Thai tasting menu on Friday. It was fabulous - please check it out. It is Midwest hot, not Thai hot. Staff is always great. We almost always end with carrot cake - I had ZoeBakes carrot cake in the Twin Cities and it was not anywhere close to as tasty as The Cafe's version. I would agree with some other posts that the lighting in some areas makes it very hard to read the menus or see your food. Updated lighting would be helpful. We try to come early and get a spot near the windows so that we can see better.

Disappointed to say the least, I came in the back door not realized there was a correct door and was rudely cut off by other patrons at the front desk. I had to wait several minutes to be waited on and the place had plenty of spots. Maybe because I was a party of 1... they didn't seem to care. After I shared what drink I wanted, I learned they were out... fine no problem. I asked about the Thai specials, the waitress was clueless. I had to ask for the restaurant week menu and ask about the specials. She said they looked good but couldn't describe them and hasn't tasted them. I got the salad on special, but get this... they were out of the main restaurant week special... such a let down. The ambiance was mixed, one corner was a cute date night the other corner was crying children. All dimly lit and outdated decor. The whole experience was off, I ended up leaving after my one drink and salad. I hope to give this place a second chance sometime but hope they aren't out of dishes and I can get a trained server. Maybe another night for sure!
