Labyrinth Coffee

Very close to campus, extremely affordable (my iced coffee order here is $4.50 vs $7.50 at Starbucks), and they have excellent coffee and espresso. I love that they pay the staff a living wage and use tips towards good causes. A significant portion of the staff identify as LGBTQ, and despite being located within a church, Labyrinth doesn't have any religious signage or anything like that. I'm thrilled we have a place in Ames that is non-profit and truly focused on being a great community space.

Genuinely, they are so nice here! I once went here to cry about Arcane for 30 minutes while drinking a hot lavender white mocha and it was perfect. Great study space too!!

Labyrinth is such a warm and inviting location. Their coffee is delicious and they have many seasonal and non coffee options. I have been here a few times and will be coming back. The inclusion and safe space Labyrinth offers is irreplaceable.

Stumbled upon Labyrinth while my daughter was at freshman orientation at Iowa State. Their mocha was one of the best I’ve ever had! I will definitely be back!

i was impressed by the atmosphere of this “shop” considering it’s in a church basement… it is a surprisingly bright and welcoming space that would be great for studying. i had an iced maple latte which was tasty, but i wish i would’ve gotten an extra shot of espresso. labyrinth is definitely a place worth checking out!

Faves: flavored lattes, kids menu smoothies, ample cozy space, variety of seating options, sustainability focus, tipless! (With any tips going to a local cause -Ames school lunch hero program this month!) and location, so close to ISU, but with parking! The prices are also super reasonable and the staff is really friendly. This is a top study/work spot that you can feel good about supporting!

Kind, personable employees, delicious food and drink options, and a wonderful atmosphere! I get lunch here most every week and I'm never disappointed, today I even got the cutest muffin I've ever seen!

I got a delicious lemonade with blueberries and even had sparkles! I highly recommend it, priced way better and tastes better than other corporate coffee chains! 10/10 ✨

We randomly found this place on Google Maps and decided to stop in. It's in the basement of the Collegiate Presbyterian Church. The main doors were locked when we arrived so we entered through the basement doors just to the left of the main entrance (photo attached). The latté and Lotus energy drinks we got were great! Good roast on the espresso, appropriate temp, and perfect coffee/milk ratio. I also love that they make all of their flavorings in-house! I felt good about spending my money here knowing that it would go towards a good cause, as well. There's plenty of seating, a play area for children, and lots of puzzles and board games should you want to meet a group of friends here. The staff was also very nice. Highly recommend!
