Coffee & records · 303 Kellogg Ave, AmesA garden-level coffee shop and record store just off Main Street. Lattes and Italian sodas made with care, and thousands of records to dig through while you wait.
The crates line the wall from the door to the counter. Records come from vendors all over the country, and we carry turntables and stereo gear too.
[Example genre bins, matched to your real sections at launch.] [New arrivals feed goes here: post this week's finds in seconds from your phone.]
It opened as the Vinyl Cafe in 2009. Blake Delaney took over in 2012 and rebuilt almost every inch of it by hand: the floor, the walls, the bar. His art is on the walls, and there's usually a record on the turntable.

The shop doubles as an intimate venue for local bands now and then.
