A heavenly chocolate shop! I had the tiramisu gelato. Delicious! I loved the ambiance and the staff was helpful with offering samples and very attentive. I purchased some mini chocolates. Yum!!

They give you free chocolates to try. Everything is a bit expensive, but the hot chocolate is really good! They have great service. It is a very calm and peaceful place.

Stam is a lovely store. The staff is always friendly and the chocolates are oh-so-good. My family loves the gelato. My only complaint is that I wish the prices were more transparent on some of the items, like those sold by weight. As in, I wish all prices were actually posted/readable. I know I'm buying luxury, but when you mishear the price as $4.99/lb. and it is $47.99/lb, it's a bit of sticker shock!

Was asked to leave the store and they refused service because I walked in with my 13 pound service animal in my arms. I will be filing suit for discrimination against the business.

Nice place to stop and drool. Try a few pieces of chocolate and then walk it off. Staff is very patient.

Holy Buckets! This place knocked my socks off with their homemade gelato and real deal cappuccino. The best part, IT DOESN'T BREAK THE BANK TO TREAT YOURSELF! There are cases with handmade chocolates... yes handcrafted chocolates!! To die for!!

Amazing Gelato and the best cup of coffee in Ames. Truly a classy place, plus the chocolate is pretty good too!

Stopped in on 3/25/23. I found the place to have a very welcoming and quaint atmosphere that was complemented by a friendly and helpful staff. In terms of products, the blueberry gelato I purchased was incredibly flavorful. I will definitely be returning! If you are in the downtown Ames area, I highly recommend stopping in to buy yourself a treat.

Best Hot Coco ever when its cool! Best Gelato when it's warm! The chocolates are pretty exceptional too.

Wonderful little place on main street Ames. I had the chocolate gelato and it was soooo good. Will be returning to try some other goodies
Ice cream is not very good; pistachio is quite
