This was our first time stopping in. There wasnt anybody else eating there at the time (during an ISU football game) and we were shown the different seating areas right away (total of three: two separate indoor areas and the patio). We ordered the Gourmet Grilled Cheese with Macaroni Salad and the Turkey Club with Potato Bacon soup. Both dishes were great and the prices are very reasonable (each dish was $9 side included). Its on the edge of town but its definitely worth checking out.

The incredible atmosphere, food, and ownership of The Cornucopia make it one of the most wonderful places around. My wife and I had our wedding here and it could not have been more perfect. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in hosting a small, intimate event or meal reach out to the owners. You will not regret a single thing and will not find a single fault. We are so lucky to have The Cornucopia!

I dont even know where to begin with all of the positive words we have for the Cornucopia. My husband and I had our wedding here on September 12th. After rescheduling our wedding that was originally in May due to Covid and discovering our original venue would not work out for us on our postponed date we scrambled to find a new place to have our small wedding just one month before the event. Our florist told us about The Cornucopia and it was such a blessing. Graham and Kim and the staff went so far above and beyond our expectations to make our day absolutely perfect. From the beautiful decor, the most amazing food, fantastic drinks and unmatched service they took care of everything. They were extremely flexible through every twist and turn that planning a wedding during Covid brought us and were very mindful of safety precautions during the pandemic. I could go on and on about the amazing service. They even set up a tent on the patio to ensure that we could have our ceremony outside if it rained and they let us come back to clean up the next day so we could enjoy our night. Their pricing was also extremely reasonable, you will not find a better place to host an event in the area! Whether youre planning an event or just stopping in to shop, eat lunch or have a drink I cannot recommend The Cornucopia enough. Our day was perfect and beautiful and were so thankful that we found this place, cant wait to stop in again whenever we pass through Ames❤️ - pictures by kianagrantphotography.com

What a pleasant change of pace from your typical restaurant. When walking in, you are greeted by a boutique type shopping experience featuring candles, wall hangings, furniture,and other fun things. Most items give a vintage vibe. Mosey in further to find the dining area, which compliments the decor. Food was outstanding and reasonably prices. Staff was helpful in choosing your preference. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed my grilled cheese sandwich with broccoli cheddar soup, and a pretty good cup of tea to go with. Nice place - quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Friendly staff. Check out the gift shop - lots of interesting and unusual things!

Very pleasant staff, and interesting decor. I had a grilled chicken croissant and salad. Both were very tasty. Excellent brewed iced tea. We shared the caramel apple cake. Yummy!

Great place!! Just had our Red Hat group there for luncheon! Great food! Super nice people!!!! Love it.☺

Good grilled cheese sandwich and kettle chips. The woman I went with said her soup was not as awesome as her roast beef sandwich. Fun place, great atmosphere but skip the soup!

Love the ambience of this place and the unique gifts and home decor. Havent eaten here though.

Good food-very accommodating. Nice atmosphere. Pretty affordable and I love howFood items are all the same cost.

This place is leading the cafes in Ames in the right direction. We need more places like the Cornucopia. I cant wait to see the patio and have a nice outside place in Ames

Cute place to visit for lunch and seasonal gifts!
