One rainy Sunday morning we woke up with a craving for crepes. With no local Yelp or Google recommendations we settled on Ames. Not having any idea what to expect, we landed on the door step of Stomping Grounds Cafe. We absolutely were not disappointed....Read More

Amazing food and drinks! Beware, the French toast is huge. I would highly recommend that any group of 6 or more to call ahead. I definitely wouldn't recommend any group of 8 or more.
