“I went to a European brunch at Clouds. It was so fun! There was a ton of good food, the service was great, the atmosphere went with the theme, and the owner of Clouds was there to present the history of the restaurant and made dessert in front of the group. I love the themed meal ideas. They are so fun and creative. I think Clouds is a gem! I will definitely return.“

The fire place makes the atmosphere pretty cozy. The staff were always nice. I remember once I came there pretty late that they were about to close but they accept me to stay and have my food and edded up giving me some free cookies that was left from that day bakary. I went to other branches of banera bread but non of them were as clean and pretty as this one.“
