Clouds

The food was terrible. We didn’t even finish our meals. They tasted like they were pre-made and microwaved . The table cloth was dirty as was the floor. Would not recommend at all!!

Clouds cafe sports an excellent aesthetic from seating to drinks, where they nail both casual and classy. My friend and I relaxed upstairs, and the creative seating layout made for a very comfortable place to brunch (or study if you're so inclined). I enjoyed a cappuccino with added dark chocolate shavings, elevating an already high quality drink, and dined on a light spinach quiche. Their menu prices are more than fair for the pleasant taste, the handmade quality, and the amazing views. My friend and I were very excited to see their wine tastings events and are anticipating coming back to explore. If you have the time for a sit-in cafe experience, please remember to look up on Lincoln because Clouds is truly a unique European gem in Ames that deserves to be as popular as Stomping Grounds.

Stopped in after dinner for a coffee and Clouds is pretty neat. The views are fantastic, and the menu was great. The staff was all very friendly and proud to be there (refreshing as a lot of other restaurants in Ames are staffed with people that are just there for a "job"). Coffee was good and we will definitely be stopping in for lunch in the near future.

Everything in this place is homemade and soooo delicious! The chairs upstairs are extremely comfy to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in. I read about the Friday night Wine Tastings in store today and I can't wait to experience that in a few weeks!

This place is amazing, will 100% be back.

A very chill and relaxing place. Great pastries, food and excellent coffee. My wife and I meet the owner and he's a very down to earth guy with a very chill vibe! Whether u just need a place to study or a place to escape from the world 10 outta 10 would recommend. We will be back!

Extremely overpriced. While the food is tolerable, the whole place is very weirdly arranged and managed which took a lot away from dining here. Additionally, the high prices, especially being right next to the university, for small portions seemed very gerrymandering and soured the "meal".

The one thing I would absolutely NOT recommend is their specialty cloud themed drinks. Think dirty tap water with gritty seasoning in them. After being advised to try one as they are their namesake item, I could only take a single sip and discarded the rest of the pricey drink.

If really want to go, eat at one of the multitudes of restaurants around their location and just go for an after dinner coffee and a dessert.

Such a cute spot to relax! Love the vibe it brings and the views/ lighting is amazing!

It is rare in Ames Iowa to find a genuine, European vibe bistro with exceptional leadership, phenomenal service, and outstanding coffee, tea, novel beverages, food, and treats!! Add to that the best view in the city!

Attened a wine tasting here. Highly reccomended. The host was very educational and served excellent food pairings.

Clouds is just what ames needed. It’s an elegant restaurant with a study nook for people to enjoy good food and coffee while studying. With an excellent view of Ames you feel like you could stay all day.
