One of my favorite cafes in Ames. The prices range averagely $20+ but the quality of food makes up for it. Tried the korean skirt steak and was absolutely the best. The service was really good and the ambience in the evening is perfect. There are lots of coffee options and they have sandwiches and bakery as well.
The Cafe has the highest quality food in Somerset and I go here several times every month. Staff are nice. The place can be very busy at times, so be prepared to wait.
Great anytime their open, but especially weekend brunches!
Wonderful restaurant. The food is excellent, the selection is good, the atmosphere is very nice. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. We had a party of 6, and all the entrees were superb. Located on the 1st floor with handicapped parking available.
The BEST food and service! Had only gone for dinner in the past but went to lunch with my daughter’s and it was just as amazing! Highly recommend the Red Sangria and Key Lime Martini!
Cute cafe with coffee bar and restaurant. Great food
It's a have to experience Bucket list place, had a tortilla combine with a skillet ingcridiance and I gave this A Michelin approval
I'm so glad this place is still around! Went here while I went to Iowa State and loved it. There was a pizza a long time ago that had white sauce, sliced potatoes, and bacon. It was so good and I make it at home now. This time I had pepperoni and hot honey pizza and it was absolutely delicious!
Very packed and seating was tight. Wait staff very busy. Good food.
The best spot for dinner in Ames. Absolutely amazing. Make sure you save room for dessert.
Great food. Breakfast. Weekend Brunch. Menus change monthly, Desserts are a must have.
Nice place to eat. Definitely worth checking out if you are in Ames. The food is really good. You won't be disappointed.
Have not been here for over a year. Food was very good. My only complaint would be my phone had no service for internet while I was there. And I could not find that it had any public Wi-Fi. But I did not ask either. Food came out timely however they forgot the mushrooms on my omelet. They brought them out separately before I could complain.
It's similar to Provisions, and is still very good, but it takes second place to me. Now, this is a review not a comparison! I had French toast, so a relatively simple breakfast, which was quite good. The service was also quite good. However, I didn't have that "woah" feeling that earns a place five stars for me. Would I go back? Certainly would! I want to try dinner next.
It was okay. It was so dark in the place it was difficult to read the menu. Food was good but a bit expensive for the over all experience.
If you have a palette, there’s nothing you can say poorly about The Cafe. Typically eat on the bistro side (lunch) because their deli sandwiches are the best around. But today decided to order MAHI Taco’s. It’s been a few years since I’ve had these delicious, tasty tacos from the sea. And I can’t wait to go back next week and have them again! Our server(s) - we went back later that night for some libations - were both fantastic. A parade of hands for this gem, located in small-town, America. Kudos, Cafe.
This place was absolutely amazing the fact that the ingredients and vegetables are all from local farmers really adds that special touch. Our only real issue was our waitress did not check on refills often and when it was done forgot repeatedly to get the refills. However, it will definitely become one of our go-to places. There are plenty of options for everyone vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Very nice and relaxing place for breakfast. Friendly staff and deliciously prepared food.
We both had the peanut chicken lettuce wraps with creme brulee and cannoli for dessert. The food was good quality and quite tasty, excellent service.
If you’re driving along I35 desperately seeking a nice sit-down breakfast like we were, the short crosstown diversion is well worth it. We had the best omelettes (mine a “BMT” - pepper bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes - yum!), hot coffee (get one for the road!), potatoes, and toast (what is that amazing bread?!?). Great service and seating, too! Thank you to The Cafe for the respite: we have 1,000 miles to go and your meal will get us there… 💕 Road-trippers: Don’t miss the exit!!
