Great single origin coffee with a quirky atmosphere, this coffee shop also has the best desserts in town. For a strange but good start to your morning, order the Alarm Clock (Orange Juice + Coffee.)
Feeling adventurous? Try the Alarm Clock—a perfectly balanced combination of orange juice, caramel and cold-brew coffee. Mix it all together and it tastes like a Tootsie Roll!
The gluten free bakery items are fabulous! They can't guarantee cross contamination of gluten, but the baker does their best!
Stephanie JensenOctober 7, 2013Pour over coffee: Delicious and entertaining to watch. The Ethiopia is a good choice for coffee lovers!
Will BlackFebruary 26, 2013Great atmosphere and great coffee. Shots are very clean and simple, lighter than Lorry's espresso.
Jennifer HakeyApril 5, 2011Hands down the best coffee in Ames, and close to campus! The espresso brownies are to die for & you can drink the espresso alone. THAT good.- If you get a brownie, pastry, or anything else worth having warm, they'll warm it up in the oven for you. Well worth the wait.
Aaron HofmeyerSeptember 17, 2011This place is brilliant. Named after Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia," even the Internet password is "Stoppard." Try the Arcadia Dog. Delish.
- If you're into Italian Sodas, try the Arcadian Orange, Blood Orange with a touch of White Chocolate.
Liz NaylorAugust 31, 2011Arcadia's hours have expanded. Open M-F 7:00am - 9:00pm, Sa 9:00am - 9:00pm, Su 9:30am-4:00pm- If you feel like having tea get the PG Tips and get a scone while you're at it.
Lauren PDecember 2, 2012Everyone who works here seems like they hate their lives. And they don't understand the concept of personalizing drinks.
