Stomping Grounds: User Reviews

Nothing short of amazing

Stomping Grounds is one of the best places in Ames to visit. You can study there, grab dinner and drinks with friends, have a coffee or lunch break, enjoy some delicious coffee or tea, check out local art or even catch a concert on the patio. Despite that fact that its completely versatile, the food is amazing as well. Some of my favorite are their crepe options (savor or sweet), their baguette sandwiches and the very popular tomato soup they make daily. I also absolutely love their green teas. The atmosphere is creative and laid back and perfect to catch up with an old friend over a glass of wine or brainstorm an idea for your thesis. Thats the beauty of Stomping Grounds!

One of my very favorite spots in Ames

I love Stomping Grounds! They have fresh, delicious, home made food. I highly recommend their creamy tomato soup-heavenly! I love going for lunch at work, or just for a cup of their green tea. My lunch order is almost always a baguette and soup, although I have heard the savory crepes are amazing. Its a large place, with a big patio in the front. Good thing it can hold so many customers, because it can get quite busy at times. You can always find ISU professors meeting with students or study groups. Another reason I love it-its the perfect spot for so many different functions from studying to drinking wine. Local art decorates the wall and is an experience in itself.

ONe of my favorite spots in Ames
By MegF from West Des Moines , May 20, 2009

Stomping Grounds is truly one of my favorite places in Ames. They have a great patio for the warmer months, something that is really lacking in Ames. The inside is spacious and adorned with local art and minimalist style tables. I absolutely love their menu that consists of a plethora of coffee, tea and specialty drinks, great beer and wine choices and salads, soup, paninis, baugettes, various sandwiches and one of their specialties-their crepes. Nutella and banana crepes are one of my favorite foods ever and I was so happy to find out they serve them here! Try the tomato soup-I dream about it in my cubicle some days.
