Waveland!

Second Machine Shed. You won't leave hungry.
I've eaten way too many breakfasts at the Windsor Heights HyVee.

 

[Cy Hard]

Those are the top 3 consistently.

 

[herbicide]

Those would be my top 3 as well. Waveland gets my 1st place vote.

Another vote for the Waveland, althought AK O'Conner's Sunday Brunch is excellent too... Porky's also has a decent breakfast but not sure how much longer they will be around...

 

[NobodyBeatsCy]

It's not Sunday, but the brunch buffet at Granite City is great. Put that in the back of your mind when Sunday rolls around

Waveland Cafe - University just west of Polk Blvd.

Did any of you ever eat at the Grove Cafe on Main Street during your time in Ames? Those pancakes are incredible...

Baby Boomers in the East Village. Great breakfast food and pretty cheap.

 

[Broodwich]

The Mexican Breakfast at El Rey in WDM.

Where is this at in the east village?

Waveland...best blueberry pancakes, combine that with the lumberman and you're good 'til dinner.

I don't think you will beat the Waveland......but I like the Hy-Vee on Valley West Drive for breakfast...........

I 2nd Baby Boomers in the East Village. My wife heard good things so we went there last week for the first time. Terrific small cafe, with lots of good food. They've been getting lots of National Pub too because the Obama family LOVES their chocolate chip cookies....for what its worth.

I ate at The Grove several times and it was pretty good! If anyone takes the time to drive to Ames for breakfast they have to go to The Cafe out on North Stange, right by the newest Ames Racquet and Fitness Center. That place opened up the year before I left town, it was probly the best place Ive ever eaten breakfast at. They use all farm fresh produce from the surrounding area.
