We stopped by Potters on Saturday morning right after the Ames farmers market. We walked in and were greeted by a wonderfully personalble employee who walked us through the menu. We ordered our food and drinks and sat down outside on their well shaded patio. The music and flowers made the spot feel super comfortable. I ordered a smoothie which had real fruit pieces in it. For food I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon that was super crispy. For a side hash browns was the obvious choice. They were well done! Crispy and flavorful with different herbs. Their fruite selection was also superb. Great little cafe!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I absolutely love Potters Eatery! It’s such a super cute spot with a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The location is perfect, and it feels like a little treat every time I stop in. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming—it feels like they really care about their customers. The menu is huge, with so many options, whether you’re in the mood for a full meal, something from the bakery, or just a really good coffee or tea. I’ve tried a few different things and everything has been delicious. It’s definitely become one of my favorite places in Ames. Can’t wait to go back!

Very clean, friendly, comfortable place. Whether you want a quiet place to read or have a meeting this place works be a great choice! Loved the fresh flowers on every table and the Carmel latte was perfect.
