Linus Falck-Ytter 10 months ago
One of the true remaining third places in Ames, Morning Bell is a gift to coffee lovers and people who need caffeine in the morning to function. Personally, I recommend getting a Cortado, followed by a large latte, hot in the winter (which is long in Iowa), and iced in the summer (which gets very hot and muggy). The people working at Morning Bell are extremely friendly, knowledgeable about all things coffee, and exactly the kind of folks who make this sort of place important to a neighborhood. Whether it's a Farmers Market Saturday, or a cold Monday in the middle of an interminable winter (seriously why do they last so long) - you can't go wrong with Morning Bell.

The best espresso in Ames! Super friendly staff and good food and sweets. When in Ames, I know where to go for the best coffee!

Stopped by yesterday because I heard they might have vegan pastries & I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience! I got a London Fog Latte with oat milk and my sister got an oat milk latte and there was no upcharge for dairy milk! The vibe is very modern and chill inside too (love the plants!) For snacks: I got the gluten free and vegan chocolate tahini sandwich cookie which was great -VERY rich. The baklava was also really good and they had another gluten free cookie option as well. (I assume it rotates). Gluten-free vegan snacks were from Little Bohemia. They had non-vegan donuts as well.

I would love to own a place like this. Morning Bell and its coffee are the perfect combination. Every sip feels like a journey to the coffee plantations they bring straight to Ames. The staff are wonderfully friendly, and the atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy an exceptional cup of coffee

Best coffee spot in town! They roast their own beans and do it really well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious cup of coffee (the mocha is really good!) Plus Maegan, the barista who served me today, was a wonderful conversationalist. If you're still looking for the best cup in Ames, look no further!

Con limon drink got my attention at the first glance of the menu, it’s half cold brew and lemonade. A very special drink, it’s very refreshing, with slight coffee taste and some sweet and sour. It actually make me feeling like beer tasting. Recommend. I also tried the dragon fruit cookie. Was toooooo sweet for me, just had one bite, and don’t think could finish it at all. It’s also a great place to work/hang out/ group study. Wi-Fi is free and fast.

We enjoy stopping in the morning for a special drink and getting some reading or schoolwork done! Also someone who doesn’t drink much coffee, there are so many options for tea drinkers. Gotta check out the clock bathroom - it’s pretty neat!

The one and one was a great way to try out their espresso and both were excellent. The service was very friendly and quick. I hope the beans I bought are as good as what I had in the shop.

good beans, but coffee quality heavily depends on the barista. this morning i had a delightful pull of espresso. this afternoon i got a burning hot pour over (probably over 95°C) and it did not taste good.

Favorite coffee in Ames! I always get a lavender rose latte with oatmilk. But will venture out to try their new syrups, which if I’m not mistaken are locally made… we like to buy their bagged coffee for “local gifts” for our out of state friends too!
