About Clouds

Clouds is a charming restaurant with a campus view and European influence. It partners with a nonprofit to support Honduran coffee farmers. The owner, Yann, runs the business well, interacting with customers and entertaining during events. The staff also provides excellent service. Visitors praise the delicious food, classy atmosphere, and gracious owner. The unique seating is very cute and comfortable, though the overall area can be a bit unclean, with unused tables sometimes having stains on their tablecloths. While the food is generally good and the atmosphere is elegant, some reviews mention that certain events, like Father’s Day brunch, can be disappointing, with slow service and dirty conditions. The restaurant also hosts fun events like Barbie brunch, which is highly recommended for its friendly staff and delicious food and drinks. Prices are mildly high, and portion sizes can be small, especially for items like loaded bagels, which cost nearly 7 dollars for half a bagel with toppings. The espresso drinks tend to be overly milky, and the overall quality may be lower compared to store-bought options. Dietary restrictions are accommodated with alternative milks and decaf options, and staff generally handle dietary requests well.
