Reviews for Clouds in Ames, IA
Great coffee place, foods are nice. And the view is the best around. Recommend for dating, chilling, and studying.
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!! Read more
The best view from the only "skyscraper" of Ames. Chef Yann is personable and entertaining, kid friendly. Deserts are... outstanding and sophisticated, while the rest of the food and drinks can be a hit or miss. Wait staff are good-willed studentswho deserve a bit more coaching. Restaurant is on two floors, and the design and furnishing of the upper one will pleaseInstagram users. Visit when you have moderate hunger, plenty of time, and enjoy the space and views. Read more
This was hands-down the best dining experience I?ve had while visiting our college student. We had brunch, and it was... phenomenal. Yann, the chef helped us schedule the brunch and accomidated our last minute request for a special cake. The Brunchwas amazing, course after course of fantastic scratch made food. At the end there was even a flambé experience. We will be backto check out their dinner experience. They also had a quaint little area for specialty coffees that I would highly recommend.The view was fantastic as well. Read more
Came to do some work and the girl said she'd bring me my coffee. I said "cool, thanks" and told her where I'd be. Didn't... really bother to follow up for the next half hour since I was pretty intensely focused on what I was doing but eventually shebrought it over and seemed confused that I never came to pick it up. I politely reminded her what she had told me and said thatwas why. So here I am drinking a room temperature coffee that cost me $5+tip... +1 star though since it was still pretty good Read more
Good Food. A bit pricey but that's their call. Biggest issue: Service takes a lot of time. I mean lots of time (So there goes 2... stars). Maybe that was because it was mothers day. I could see many customers visibly more upset than us. Also their buffet hadlimited cheese! I understand, but then it shouldn't be called a buffet (there goes another star). The guy serving Bacon,Potatoes etc was very nice. The head chef did a great job of entertaining everyone. I saw that the kids were having a greattime (so 1 star is given back). Read more
We loved the atmosphere and the amazing views of campus. We both got hot cocoa bombs, which could have used some more chocolate... flavor but maybe that's just how cocoa bombs are. Prices were fair and service was good. Will definitely stop by again andbring family to show them the amazing views. Read more
First time there. Very cozy. Yummy coffee, and little chocolate extras that looked delicious. Bit on the pricy side and I... don't know what is like when they are busy, but worth a try@ Read more
