We went to the Easter Brunch today. It was amazing. The food was wonderful. The atmosphere was relaxing and entertaining. And no holiday clean up.

It was a fabulous experience and plan on making this my regular study spot. Only sad thing is that they're closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Love the view, definitely helps put me in the mood to write and study.

We have attended many events at Clouds over the past few years and have never been disappointed! Yann does an excellent job of presenting a unique, European experience. All the food is made from scratch with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We have attended many wine nights, themed dinners, brunches, and even took a class in the kitchen. A wonderful experience in central Iowa!

A fun evening at a themed fondue dinner. Excellent menu. Chef is very congenial. We enjoyed the evening.

It was not Kenough! Went to Barbie Brunch on 11/5/23. We got one miniature egg bite, one piece of sausage and one new potato, for $40. Each item was served separately (cold) and set on our plate as they walked by. I'm embarrassed for the owners of this business. Do not ever go to this restaurant!

Attended for an event and the dinner was delayed over an hour. The paella was cold, hard and stuff out of a box tastes better. The risotto was left basically untouched by others. Truly a disappointment! 0/5 do not recommend.

Went for a themed brunch. The decor for the theme was not impressive. Patrons put more time into the theme than the table decor. The tray of sweets was pretty but none of them were home baked. They charged $36 a person for reservation only brunch. They then charged extra for coffee, tea, hot cocoa etc. Brunch was a plate of sweets, cold cuts and sliced cheese and some sausage, meat balls and potatoes of which they gave you two small bits. Very expensive for a Sunday brunch.

this is a cute place & the scenery is great but they treat their staff terribly, are super expensive for a cafe in a college town, they seem to change their hours and the general set up of the store like every semester. food is way too expensive for things that are frozen & reheated. honestly cafe diem & vinyl cafes are my recommendations instead of this place !
Bridal shower was an awesome venue with food, and outstanding view.Parking: Easy access to parking

Ambiance and view is worth it alone! Kate was our server and wonderful! Just had coffee and breakfast. Yogurt parfait we will get again but pass on the egg bakes.

worst brunch ever, unless you like Subway sandwiches for $22.

Took over an hour to get our food, apparently the cook forgot it in the oven. The food also does not meet expectations for taste. The serving sizes are ridiculously small for the price. The only thing it has going for it is the scenery and set up it looks and feels nice and comfortable. But the food was not that good I stand on my rating. Also have not tried any of the pastry dishes so not gonna speak on it.

You definitely pay for the view. Coffee and food are extremely overpriced. I’ve paid almost $7 for a simple cup of (just okay) brewed coffee with cream and a flavor shot. The owner is also extremely impolite and unkind to staff. I applied for an events internship here, open to all majors, and not only did he make me wait for him for 45 minutes in the empty cafe, but he immediately turned me down before asking a single question because I wasn’t an event management major in school. View is amazing on a stormy day and seating is very cozy, but between the prices and my experience with the owner the whole place has just lost its appeal to me. Every once in a while I give it another try but I always leave wishing I went somewhere else instead.
