I love Renn's Café! They have new specials and drinks flavours every month, and have a variety of drinks for coffee, tea and lemonade lovers.The prices are also low compared to many other coffee shops. The staff is friendly and the wait time is never long. The Café itself is absolutely beautiful- from it's hand painted mural on the wall, the antiques throughout, to tons of seating with a variety of games. Highly recommended!

This is hands down the best coffee shop in town! Renn's syrups are **phenomenal**! Every coffee concoction she has come up with tastes delicious! And the regular/normal coffee options are spectacular too. The shop itself is the kind of beautiful, restful, lovely space that makes you want to spend hours there. And my favorite part is the food. So good. But since I have recently had to give up gluten I am even more grateful for Renn's and all of the delicious gluten free baked goods she offers. You would never know they were gluten-less! Everything she does is done with excellence and the staff are also very friendly. Also, if you go make sure to check her social media or get on the email list because her menu is constantly changing and you don't want to miss out on the seasonal goodness!

Love this local coffee shop & all the syrup flavors they offer. Plus, it’s super kid friendly! Also, another bonus is that it’s connected to Main & Market, a unique & fun shopping experience!

Love stopping here when we are in Nevada. Coffee is very good, and made with homemade syrups. Had the cinnamon toast crunch latte.

This was a delightful little find that had vegan options. It may be one of the first and only times I’ve ever been able to have a bagel with actual vegan cream cheese!!! I know there are more option options. Will definitely be back.

Every time I come here, the food, drink, and ambience are improved. They could have stopped upgrading at any point and it would still be five stars to me. But it seems they can only go up!

I was out working in Nevada and happened to stop in her shop which smelled amazing. Renn was working and she was so sweet and kind. I asked her about her coffee shop and what makes it stand out from the rest besides the amazing coffee I had . She makes her own syrup from scratch and no extra chemicals and all natural ingredients that are not harmful to our bodies. I was very impressed with that and the taste of her coffee coming from a daily coffee drinker. If you’re ever in that area or looking for an amazing cup of coffee that will be hard to forget I recommend you check this place out. I will be back and with others for sure

We just saw them yesterday at the Ames Farmer's Market. The best tasting gluten free cookie and coffee cake muffin I've had! A real treat for those of us that have to be gluten free!

Amazing café, the workers are so kind and sweet, I ordered the Monte Cristo and they happened to be out of raspberry preserves and asked if strawberry worked instead and it was incredible. Their drinks are obviously amazing too with fun seasonal flavors. 100/10
