Hidden gem!!!!Everything was amazing. Our party of 4 arrived at 4:30. We were greeted and seated immediately. Lights were dim,music was great, our waitress was very friendly. The food and drinks were great! We got shrimp ceviche,calamari,pastrami sandwich,Korean short ribs (which was my absolute favorite) everything was cooked to perfection. We are glad we found this place! Our tour in Boone was cancelled due to weather so we drove back for desert and martinis. The carrot cake was full of flavor and super moist. The passion fruit coconut cheesecake was divine! We will definitely be back.

I had an amazing meal and it is easily a 5 out of 5 for me. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Chinois, the Café Burger, and a side of house-made potato chips, and every single item was outstanding. The Korean Fried Chicken Chinois had perfectly crispy chicken coated in a flavorful sauce with just the right amount of heat, paired with fresh, crunchy vegetables that made the dish feel balanced and vibrant. The Café Burger was juicy and cooked exactly how I like it, topped with sharp white cheddar and their signature 1000 island sauce that added a rich, tangy finish. The house-made potato chips

We were passing through Ames and came for breakfast. Friendly service, excellent coffee, my quiche was full of flavor and the salad it came with was delicious. My family all enjoyed their food too. Will come again when we're next in the area.

The Cafe is one of the best places in town. The curated menu is constantly evolving, anchored by a few staple items. It's one of those places where you can order anything that sounds good on the menu with the confidence that it will be even better than you imagine when it arrives. Great spot for small gatherings, or dates. Try the Carrot cake! Best I've ever had.
