Nice place, had James Brown paying. That’s a plus. Food was good, nice clean place. Definitely not a small town old school... café. I am more modern café. Not a place to bring a date if you don’t plan on dating them long. They might get the wrongmessage. A little too nice for short term. Love Read more

First time there. Am from out of town. Sat at the bar to get a quick seat. Kelsey was a great help with the menu and was... perfectly friendly. Korean steak and eggs was excellent. Steak was PERFECTLY on point. You could cut it with a fork it was sotender. The fried rice had a couple bites of strong salt as if someone dumped and didn't stir and it was a bit salty overall,but otherwise all the flavors combined well. Definitely worth having again.

The steak was amazing! Kimchi fried rice and egg was good too. However, all the foods are a little bit salty. (Especially on the... fries and eggs) Please use less salt! Your food itself is already good:)) Read more

The Cafe earns its rating of being the best restaurant in Ames. Unrivaled ambience, sharp service, and great food. We went for... dinner and the lighting/music was truly immaculate. The portion sizes are smaller than average - but are as satiating as ever.I recommend the Korean Steak & Eggs. The highlight of my visit was none other than the carrot cake. Quite possibly the bestI've ever had! The Cafe is fantastic, period. Couldn't recommend it more!! Read more
