Cat & Cloud - Iced coffee Chai tea Overnight oats - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Amazing! Everything is wonderful here. The breakfast burrito is out of this world. Cloud 9 every time. 10/10

This is the best coffee shop in the Bay area. Period. Believe me, I checked them all: Blue Bottle, Equator, SightGlass, Chromatic, Ritual, Verve (their older bro) and every other "3rd Generation" coffee shop out there. It's not only that the coffee, latte art, food and pastries are great (they really are), but the vibe of this place is a perfect combination, great customer service, super cool design (even the paper cups), no "I'm better than you, take the coffee and leave" baristas :) I had a friendly chat with the one of the coffee baristas there (which somehow remembered me and my "coffee name", Ron, after one time there..) , I really thought he owned the place. Everyone can talk about culture, but when the employees feel like they own the place.. The only problem seems to be that all of their 4 shops are around Santa Cruz.. So I asked them to open in Sunnyvale/Mountain View... Cat & Cloud, if you are listening.. :) In the meantime, I will find all kinds of reasons to get to Santa Cruz.. read more

Cat & Cloud - Cappuccino & Avocado Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Excellent coffee in a marketplace environment. Service was friendly. Standard offerings. Locals love it.

Cat & Cloud comes to downtown Santa Cruz! Awesome! I've been enjoying Cat's cool spot and legit coffee on the East Side for some time now and am so stoked they've opened up another location in hip Abbott Square Market. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to camp out on your laptop or chat endlessly with your friends under the cool glow of the neon Cat & Cloud sign. The baristas are all very friendly and know how to craft a great cup of coffee. I got an almond milk mocha and it was top notch. They partnered up with Companion Bake Shop and have a delicious-looking array of pastries. I didn't partake this time but will definitely in the future. I will be back to this location many, many times! read more

I LOVE CAT & CLOUD COFFEE SO MUCH OMG I'm studying at UCSC next year and I can't wait to come here all the time!!! Their 8 oz. Cappuccino is my favorite item on the menu and the baristas are soooo friendly. Great espresso!!!! I wish the location was a bit quieter though so I could make it my study spot :( but it has great party vibes LOL I'm obsessed!!! read more

Cat & Cloud - 8 oz. Cappuccino!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Tasty espresso, tons of chocolate drink options, and good vibes! As people mentioned, this place is tucked away in an indoor market so you won't see it from the street. read more

Was a bit hard to find at first, but incredible staff! Super friendly and personable, the kind of people that you want to interact with first thing in the morning! Great pastry and smooth iced coffee! The dog enjoyed his puppachino as well! read more

Cat & Cloud - Iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

Amazing, quality coffee. And delicious food too. The food menu is limited, but they don't advertise to be a breakfast spot! They have great local fresh pastries and milk alternative too. They get superrrr busy on the weekends so get their early before the rush. Well worth the wait! You can buy their beans to have at home too! read more

This is a coffee shop in the Abbott Square Market in Downtown Santa Cruz. I didn't get to try any if their pastries, but I tried their almond milk latte. I wasn't that impressed with their coffee. This is in a really cool location though. I should try their other drinks and their pastries and give them another chance. The lady at the cash register was very cheerful. One of the baristas needed some of that energy. She seemed kinda grumpy that I asked for some water... read more

Never have I ever encountered a more caring and friendly staff. I left here feeling so much better than when I walked in. They welcomed me to the area, asked about me and my day (and they really meant it), and their smiles could light up the whole city. When I had to use the restroom, they kept all of my things behind the counter for me, just in case. After I returned and had sat back down for some time, the barista who rang me up brought me a glass of ice water "to go with my coffee", he said. I've just had the most wonderful time here right when I needed it. Thank you, Cat and Cloud. read more

Seems like a good coffee place, inside a food hall next to the art museum. But they closed an hour early, so we didn't get to try their coffee. Call ahead so you don't waste your time. read more

Had a latte and a sandwich, both were really great. Service was great as well and it's a really cool spot. I imagine after 11:30 it gets busy and parking van be a challenge. read more

I stumbled across C&C Coffee only because Verve was closed for renovation. I didn't even know that area had like a public market place. It really reminds me of San Pedro Market in San Jose but less lively. I ended up with a cappuccino and it was good. I bought some beans to-go for my pour over coffee. Been drinking the dark roast called the Night Shift and it's solid AF. The colors on everything reminds me of Tiffany & Co. At least the prices are fair LOL. read more

Cat & Cloud - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

I've been to many many coffee shops and Cat & Cloud is one of my favorites. I always look forward to coming here when I'm in Santa Cruz. Why? It's the small things (most of which I've experienced at the Capitola location) - bringing ice water when I'm waiting with someone or working. Or sometimes someone brings hot water refill for tea. Also, the staff seems to take a genuine interest in the lives of customers. I can tell by the types of conversations and questions they ask. I also see them doing novel stuff between having a podcast and instagram initiatives. Also, today at this location, I purchased a cookie. I fumbled my plate when I asked for a fork and dropped a cookie that was just warmed up in the oven... on the floor. Without skipping a beat, the gentleman who handed me the cookie saw I dropped it and went to get another one and warm it up. He also reminded me to breathe, since I may have looked frustrated with myself. ;) I also hear a few more locations are opening up. I am happy for this coffee chain and hope they continue to grow. read more

Love the idea of this coffee shop. It's in a locally sourced food court that has a nice variety of restaurant options. Coffee is great. There is a small but impressive collection of morning snacks. The staff are friendly and greet the regulars by name. The food court changes the ambiance from cozy coffee shop to eat on the go (and quickly so someone else can take your seat). read more

Coffee is not bad. Good and strong. Service is friendly and nice. All their stuff is organic for those who only do organic. Nice place to go study. Grab a coffee and grab food from the other vendors around. Lots of space! read more

Delicious. We tried the location near Pacific Avenue and the spot near 41st / borderline Capitola. The downtown location is fine for grab and go since it's in a food court, the second location is much cuter for spending a little time. Oat milk latte was perfectly smooth, I love that the espresso wasn't too acidic. Staff were friendly, will return when in the SC area. read more

I heard great things about their coffee and I was disappointed. I had their drip coffee- it was bitter and didn't taste too fresh. I'll give it another shot sometime and try an espresso drink- the chocolate chip cookie was rich and delicious from companion bakery- staff was friendly and bubbly. read more

As soon as I walked into Cat & Cloud coffee I was welcomed by their barista. The vibe is calm, cool and collected. This space works if you want to get work done or just drink a cup of coffee. There are big windows, which allow for fresh air and light to come in. Their coffee is delicious and so are their pastries. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm picky about my chai. This was excellent. The customer service was super friendly and quick! I can't wait to try the chai overnight oats!

Cat & Cloud is absolutely my #1 favorite coffee spot to go to. They're staff is phenomenal and never fails to put a smile on my face with their contagious positive attitudes. Not to mention their coffee is the best in town, I highly recommend you stop in and see what all the hype is about! read more

I love going here. The customer service is amazing. They make you feel good. Today I am trying there pumpkin spice latte. I am highly recommending it. It's not to sweet or bitter. I like the hint of pumpkin. read more

The staff at Cat and Cloud are always so warm, iind, and positive. I broke my arm yesterday and they brought my food and drink directly to my table. Everytime I come to any C n C location, the food and drinks are consistent in taste, quality, and ingredients. Shoutout to this team for being a part of our community and going the extra mile to make a coffee and waffle's experience so great. The store is quick, clean, and fun. read more

The team at Cat & Cloud were awesome. Warm vibes even before the delicious coffee. I got the mocha and they added marshmallows & whipped cream. Man, that was good. Only knock, which is kinda minor was they were out of butter croissants at 8:30 AM but never know who came in before us but other than that, off the hook! read more

Cat & Cloud serves the best coffee in Santa Cruz. I was in town for work and wanted to find a good spot to start my mornings. The shop is a part of the Abbott Public Market which can get busy at lunch time but in the morning it's pretty quiet. The baristas here are just really cool gals & guys. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming in that rare kinda way that when they ask you how you're doing they care to hear your response. They roast their own beans and have a beautiful Marzocco on deck. I had both their iced coffee and their Americano--iced coffee is iced coffee (it's real hard to do wrong) but the Americano was amazing. Perfect pull every time! If you're craving a quick bite, they serve pastries and savory items all handcrafted from Companion. I didn't have any sweets but I did pick up a Brie & pesto baguette one day for lunch and it was the best thing I've had in a long time. I don't normally like Brie but I ordered it because it looked so good and it did not disappoint! They also do a Community Day every first Friday of the month where all of their regular size whole bean bags are only $10! I was stoked to have caught this deal and I bought a bag to take home! I loved this place so much I even bought a sweater. Thank you Cat & Cloud for being my home away from home while I was traveling. I'll definitely be back! read more

stopped by here and casually received one of the best looking and tasting mocha's i've ever had

Glad to see this place still has such a great pour. This time we got the quad oat cappuccino. Smoooooth

Coffee is amazing and workers are very nice (overly nice at times) ;-). Fav coffee in Santa Cruz area.

Great coffee, cozy environment, great service. Not a good place for breakfast though, unless you are just looking for a pastry. read more

Really great place with a friendly and helpful staff. Fits in really well with the Santa Cruz vibe and a locally owned business. The coffee is insanely good, both the espresso coffees and drip coffees are great. My personal favorite is a cappuccino or mocha with an extra shot. The pastries you can get are also delicious. From the avocado toast to the cinnamon bun. 100% would recommend. read more

It's overrated I think. Coming from San Francisco, I've tried many cafes. Not a big fan of coffee but always love a good cup of latte. I had a latte and croissant here. The latte was pretty good, not too foamy but you can taste the thickness of the milk. The croissant though was bad...Not sure if it was sourdough or what but it was not flaky and the taste was not buttery.... It was just wrong... It's a cute looking cafe but I won't be coming back read more

Great coffee and love the goodies from Companion Bakery - so yummy! Always friendly service too. read more

I absolutely love their coffee! Seriously the best in town. I'm so glad they decided to come to downtown Santa Cruz and save me gas money driving out to Capitola. I have to deduct two stars for their payment system that makes you feel like a cheap bastard if I don't want to tip an extra dollar for a four dollar coffee drink. If you select "no tip" on the screen, an alert saying something like "Are you sure you wish to proceed with no tip?" comes up. Seriously? I don't tip every single time, and when I choose not to I shouldn't be made to feel like a piece of &$@! If you want more money just charge more for your coffee... I will probably still pay for it! read more

Ok, Ill be honest...I came in as a Fan Boy of @realchrisbaca. I was hoping somehow he would be pulling my shot and doing latte art in my cup! Okay, place is small and parking was easy in the am. Coffee was legit. Cap and Latte were just as good as Verve. I got a pound of coffee to go as well. La Marz machines with all the signatures were pretty cool, Id love to have one of those $20,000 machines in my own kitchen! Yes, Id be back for some espresso. read more

Cute mug and amazing coffee is always a good thing! Came here on a whim and ended up finding a cat mug for a coworker. Friendly staff and the latte was tasty. Will be back for more! read more

They're doing outdoor drinks only so you walk in order and then leave then they call your name when your drinks ready. I tried a blended espresso drink and it was delicious! read more
