Solid spot with a stylish, cozy vibe. The place looks great, and it works both for daytime coffee and an evening drink.
Food and coffee were OK overall—nothing mind-blowing, but enjoyable.
Service was good and friendly, though pacing could be tighter.
Prices feel fair for the area. Patio and indoor seating are comfortable, though it can get a bit loud at peak times.
I’d come back for a casual meet-up or pre-dinner drink; with slightly sharper service, it could easily be a 5-star experience

Waited ten minutes to receive a menu and ten more minutes to get our waters, the server took our order of food and two cokes when we got the waters. We waited ten more minutes with no cokes until another server came by, refilled the waters, and asked if we had ordered to which we said yes and mentioned we were waiting on two cokes. Five minutes later she comes back (with no cokes) and asks us to repeat the order to “make sure they got it”, we tell her not to bother if they haven’t even put in the order.
It was semi-busy at 6pm when we arrived. I’m not sure if there was a situation in the kitchen or not enough people were scheduled, but there’s no excuse for that kind of service.
Edit: I’ve rated the food because I’ve been here before.

Loved this quaint space! We didn’t get food, only coffee, but it was spectacular! Their patio is so inviting, and the inside is fresh and fun, with lots of indoor plants! Loved that they were open til 9!

Food and service were exceptional. Fries and sauce are top notch. Table was kind of small for a group of 4. Went on a rainy Tuesday night and we were the only ones there. We saw raccoon scurry around the outside of the restaurant through the windows. Poor fella was trying to get out of the rain

We love this place and make a point of eating here every time we visit Ames. The coffee is strong and the food is well crafted and delicious. We always sit on the patio with our pups.

Fantastic time here on a Saturday morning. Most other places we went were too busy or offered little to no seating. Food was good and prepared fast. It was nice to have some breakfast and lunch options for those who go around brunch and no longer think breakfast. Cute aesthetic and nice place to work, meet friends, just grab a bite.

We stopped in for an impromptu lunch. Great pub like atmosphere and friendly bartender, although I thought the overhead music was a little loud.
Surprisingly the calamari we ordered had jalapenos in it, I have never had it served this way and we absolutely loved it. It was crispy, salty, and spicy. The aioli sauce was very good too.
We also ordered the Chicken flat bread and Chicken fettuccine. The chicken on the flat bread was very flavor ful, but I personally didn’t care for the big chunks of tomatoes, but my wife really enjoyed it. The chicken and mushroom fettuccine was creamy and we’ll balanced.
This was a great little lunch spot and worth coming back to try other menu items.

It’s generally a pretty environment. You need to be careful what you order cause some food are not very good. I had a bad experience from dinner before which I wrote a review. This time I got berry mascarpone crepe for breakfast and it was ok but the combination of mascarpone and sour berry made it taste like spoiled milk!
It’s ok in general.

Took a large group of 20+ people to La Tosca. The atmosphere was great, super open, lots of light, very cozy! The food was great. Called in several days ahead of time and they were able to meet our groups needs and requests. Servers were so sweet and helpful! Would go again!

Excellent cocktails and the salmon dish was divine. I fusilli texture was not what I wanted with lamb, but the flavor was really good. I would’ve preferred shredded parmesan vs the granular and not have it be already added to fusilli as well. Will be coming here again!
