Simple, sunny, and exactly what I needed. Stopped by Cloud Cafe and grabbed a fresh salad and a hot coffee, then enjoyed it outside in the sunshine. The salad was crisp and well-balanced, fresh greens, chickpeas, and toppings that didn't feel heavy or over-dressed. You can tell the ingredients are thoughtfully chosen and prepared with care. The coffee was solid and comforting, perfect for a casual break or light lunch. Nothing overcomplicated, just clean flavors done right. What really stood out was the vibe. It's the kind of place where you can slow down for a moment, sit outside, and actually enjoy your food instead of rushing through it. Great for a midday reset, a quiet coffee break, or a low-key lunch. I'll definitely be back. read more

We stopped by this cafe after we visited the CHM (Computer History Museum). It's inside the museum, and the price was very reasonable. We ordered Fresh mozzarella Caprese ($6.95), Roast beef hot sandwich ($7.50), chicken and sausage flatbread pizza ($6.50), and Tuna salad sandwich ($6.95). Fresh mozzarella Caprese was so delicious and cheesy with balsamic vinegar glaze. Tuna Salad was also tasted fresh with 7-grain bread, lettuce, and roma tomato. The roast beef hot sandwich was very tasty with aged white cheddar and caramelized onions, and horseradish aioli. The chicken and sausage flatbread pizza was not thick, but in a good size; they put a good amount of their housemade chicken sausage, caramelized onions, roasted pepperoni marinara, and mozzarella. The food was hot and fresh. We had our lunch at the outdoor area, and it was so chill and nice. read more

I'm not one to give less than five star reviews, but my three stars here are all about the food quality. For context, I attend Current church which meets upstairs in the Computer History Museum. I felt like saving time on driving to a lunch place after church yesterday; so I decided to grab a bite to eat at Cloud Bistro. I absolutely love the ambiance of the cafe, especially the outdoors area. There is a turf field with ample open seating space, as well as pretty trees. It's a very quiet, welcoming space and after lunch I took a 15 minute nap in the sun on the lawn. The only reason my review isn't higher is that the food -- at least what I tried yesterday -- was very bland. I got the BLT sandwich. It's too bad it wasn't more seasoned or flavorful, because if it was, I would be coming back here often! Unfortunately, as it is I probably will just stick to coffee, pastries, or enjoying the outside space in the sun when time allows. Best, Kyle read more

We visited Cloud Bistro inside the Computer History Museum. After finishing the tour, we decided to have lunch here. The menu prices are pretty good for a museum café, and honestly quite impressive. read more

We stopped by this cafe while visiting the Computer History Museum this past weekend. Service and wait time was standard. The iced mocha was made just the way I like it, sweet and chocolatey. The raspberry limeade was delicious and refreshing. The tuna salad sandwich was tasty and satisfying, with fresh tomato and lettuce, and the 7-grain slices toasted perfectly. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available. Tables were a bit messy on a Saturday afternoon, but we wiped one down ourselves in order to enjoy our refreshments before heading back into the museum. I liked this little cafe and wouldn't hesitate to return, even if not visiting the museum. read more

Pizza was decent, tuna sandwich was okay it was warmed which was not good because the lettuce was hot and so was the tuna, it seemed like the just put the whole thing in the toaster oven. The raspberry limeade was fizzy and gross and do not recommend. read more

This is a super-affordable spot that turns out great food in a great location - right in the Computer History Museum! Excellent natural light both in- and outside makes this a chic spot to grab a latte and a waffle and give your brain a chance to mellow out mid-way through your historical journey of abacuses, transistors, and supercomputers. We had a late breakfast here, and were surprised with the great quality of the food. I had the PB&J ($3.50), which was grilled in a panini press and served with a side of fruit. He had the steel cut oatmeal, which was hearty and also had fruit in it ($4). My latte ($4) was like drinking a cloud - excellent! With prices comparable (and in most cases, better) than Starbucks, there's no reason not to swing by on your next visit to the area. If you have trouble finding the place, just Google it! ;-) read more

I was so excited when I saw the sign on shoreline that they serve four barrel coffee! Sadly, the baristas aren't great at making a latte, and I didn't even want to finish it. (And I never waste coffee, because would a drug addict waste drugs? I don't think so!) Also, for such a nice and new place, I'm super disappointed with the vegan options. Oatmeal and a salad with iceberg lettuce? Just because the cafe is inside a museum, doesn't mean the menu has to be historical too. read more

New cafe and great alternative to Starbucks located inside Computer History Museum. Pour over Four Barrel coffee, soup, and vegetarian chili for less than $15! Free wifi and a nice and quiet place to work while charging. My food was a bit cool - but I'll give this place benefit of the doubt as the food was actually very good. I might come for the veg chili alone - $5 for a giant bowl. read more

Coffee was kind of burnt for my taste but i had a pleasant experience Sunday afternoon post Mountain View farmers market when i was looking for a more isolated coffee shop but still in the area. The patio is very pleasant and the white interior has pretty much the look and feel you can expect from a museum café. Very quiet, mellow and they give you discount coupons for the food. Pastries were old looking so did not even try. Plenty of parking. read more

Three stars because the food was pretty decent, I had the monte cristo sandwich with a small side salad. Unlikely I'll ever go back though. Minus one big star because my soup never arrived, despite having paid for it (plus tip) in advance. When I was almost done with my meal, the runner asked if I was still waiting for the soup, I said yes and at that point I no longer wanted it. No refund offered. Minus another star because the open area is super loud and the screaming children don't make for a pleasant cafe experience. read more

Cloud Bistro - Small cafe in open floor space. Tables for ~16 and window bar seating for another 10 or so. - Cafes Near Me - Mountain View, California

Good food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. This is located inside the corner of the Computer Museum on the first floor. Surrounded on 2 sides by glass, when we went there the self driving car was parked to one side. We ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and got a hand made sandwich and a small, delicious, salad that we shared before touring the museum. If the day is nice, you can also sit outside and enjoy the food and the weather. Definitely recommend this restaurant as a good place to get a snack or meal while at the museum. read more

I was so happy with my sandwich but shocked to see tiny mold in my salad. When I told the cashier/chef there, he asked if I wanted something else like a donut... no apology or agreement with my sanitation concern... it's so sad because the museum atmosphere so nice. Hopefully I won't get sick after because I had most of the salad side... but what about other ppl who ordered the full salad there? Gross. read more

How did i not even know about this place????! This has to be one of the best little cafes that I've found randomly through yelp. I had a coffee meeting with a friend since she had an interview at Google and I didn't want her to have to drive too far in fears she would be late. We went at on off hour, so the place was empty. But the coffee. Good lord. They serve 4 Barrel coffee (from San Francisco I believe). I ordered the Guatemalan, and it was made using the pour over technique. For those that do not know what that is, it's when you take the coffee, put it over a container and pour the water over slowly to brew. The person working took the time to explain to me about the process, the beans, etc. I asked him about roast and grinds, and he was VERY knowledgeable. I drank the coffee black because it was the good, not "burnt" tasting like you would typically get at a starbucks, and was...well, damn good enough to enjoy without cream. This is worth stopping by if you're in the area. It's inside of the Computer History Museum. No need to pay for entrance. Will definitely be stopping by here every now and then before I get to work! read more

The food seems to be of good quality. I had the Mexican Chopped Salad. However, the level of customer service is very poor. The gentleman at the front register treated me almost as if I were bothering him with my order. I almost felt as if I should have apologized for purchasing from them. The pace at which they moved was almost as if they didn't have a care in the world, when in reality there was a line half way to the Museum's front entrance. I think I'll plan to bring my own lunch if I come again. read more

This is the only place to eat within the museum, so that should tell you something already. Given the lack of choice, this place does not have to perform too well to garner customers. However, I do have to say that this is quite a convenient place to grab a quick bite at a decent price. The selection is quite small with only a few sandwiches and some drinks to choose from. However, many of the sandwiches are quite tasty. The pricing is also quite reasonable with each sandwich coming below $10. Given the choice however, I would not come here to eat unless for convenience reasons. There are lots of good eateries around the area, so it is always possible to grab a bite outside before coming to the museum. read more

Great find! Had the Monte Cristo and a macchiato. Delicious. Fun space in technology museum. Outdoor seating. Great on a beautiful day.

Worst experience ever! Horrible soft and cold waffles, had to wait for syrup for over 10 mns then they take my plate to bring it back with syrup pored over cold and and soft waffles! Terrible service with no apologies whatsoever ever! read more

Wonderful restaurant. Stop here and had some food before I go to Computer history museum. I had only a homemade soup. It was tasty, the place is clean, the stuff is friendly. The location - the same building with the Computer history museum. I glad I stopped here! Thank you :) read more
