I really loved the breakfast sandwich here and the coffee was good too! Cute little spot where lots of local hang out. Would definitely go back here

Love the coffee here! They make it pretty strong so be prepared for that extra kick of caffeine, that aside I've never had a bad coffee from them. There isn't a large selection of food items but I've liked the soup of the day when I have had it. The coffee shop itself is cute and usually it's a pretty quiet place to get work done. It can get really packed on weekends in the morning and tables fill up quickly so maybe plan on taking your coffee to go if you visit Saturday or Sunday morning.

Diem serves good to above average coffee consistently, with a rotating mix of seasonal flavors for lattes and such. Hard to tell if they aerate the pucks before tamping since the equipment is hidden behind the front desk. Good ratio of large to small tables and bar seats near the windows. The decor feels “lived in” and comfortable, though some of the tables and chairs don’t match the aesthetic. It could be an example of eclectic style to stand out, or it might be a case of answering an ad for “anyone want this free stainless steel table?” Parking is metered on Main but you can park in the lot by the Union Pacific trackway for free and walk a short block and a half to the cafe. Staff is friendly but don’t expect a casual conversation or banter unless you’re a regular. Hot food menu items aren’t worth the cost, in my opinion.

WiFi Paradise that gives off a local Starbucks Vibe, but run by Ames Resident!
Loved the cappuccino! Can't believe I've missed this all these years. Knock it down to 8 ounce sizes as an option and you're really cooking with gas. Great spot!!!

I love Cafe Diem! It's a downtown staple, and has been my morning stop for over 15 years already!Can't beat a local shop, and it's way better than the 10 other corporate shops combined!See you tomorrow!
