Reviews
Such a cute place! Great cup of cappuccino and fantastic breakfast burrito. But the ambience steals the show!
Loved the pastries more than the coffee. Busy coffee shop with packed outdoor and some indoor seating. Pet friendly.
Happiest people in Santa Cruz! The staff makes this place feel special. The coffee is outstanding, the service is excellent, and the vibes of this place are positive and relaxed. Definitely worth the visit! :D
Came here on a Sunday afternoon and really liked the staff here - super kind people and the seating was ample!
Good:
I like how there are outlets and fast wifi here! There's also a lot of owners with dogs that frequent this location which is nice to watch as you eat.
The sesame bagel was amazing though! Super tasty with the scallion cream cheese. Would recommend that combo.
Bad:
I wasn't a fan of the cream beige coffee drink they had - they described it as a milkshake but with the expresso, it was a bit too bitter for me and I had to toss out half of it.
Excellence in every way! Top tier beans to make wonderful drinks, delicious avocado toast, and always a pleasure to talk with staff. Cat & Cloud coffee is my favorite coffee house in the whole greater Bay Area! Will continue to keep coming back!
Coffee is fantastic and cute place, but they played *solely* Justin Bieber songs the entire time. I don't even hate the guy but after a full hour it was just too much.
We have driven by Cat & Cloud several times over the past year and I kept meaning to stop in. Today was the day and I will be back! The baked goods are from Companion Bakeshop on the Westside. The scones were delicious! Both the chai coffee with almond milk and the latte were spot on. The young man who greeted was so polite and pleasant and the barrista was delightful! Got a look at their Avocado Toast. Yes, I know what some of you may be thinking, but I don’t care. I have never tried them before, but I will try them here the next time I am in town! Why is it I keep hearing the old Harry Chapin song, “The Cat’s in the Cradle”? Well here, “The Cat’s in the Cloud” and it is time for coffee!
Very cool coffee joint...hee hee. But truly a great place for coffee and simple and light food. The ‘americano’ is spot on with the right flavor and aroma. I dig the interior with blend of white walls, natural geometric wooden counter, and blends of industrial metal chairs/furniture. Looking forward to my next visit soon. I wish my neighborhood had a nice coffee place like cat n cloud
2) good pour over, fast friendly peps. Nice coffee for foggy am
3) ice coffee with a slice of banana bread. Smooth coffee flavor and I’m starting to feel the zing... buzz
