Clouds

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!

Very cozy cafe. Got a mocha latte (decently priced, same price as a mocha at Starbucks) and a peach custard dessert, which was amazing. I loved the atmosphere and decor of the place. It was very quiet and peaceful. I’ll definitely be back to check out their food and start working on my thesis.

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!nnThis place is amazing, will 100% be back.

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.

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!
