Great local coffee shop and my favorite place to grab an espresso or cortado in Maple Leaf. The place is always busy and for good reasons as their drinks are great as are their baked goods, especially the nutella croissant. Their beans are a little pricey but also worth it and I usually pick up a bag of their Ethiopian beans when it's in stock. Conveniently located across from the park, it's a great spot to grab a cup or sit and stay. read more

Enjoyed the cappuccino! Also snagged a t shirt that is pretty cute. Would return if I'm in the area.

Love love love their vegan curry chickpea wrap! Fresh, complex flavors, filling, and absolutely delicious! Matcha was great too. The staff is friendly and the menu is abundant. More seating outside than in. The outside seating is HOT on a sunny day because the structure holds in a lot of heat but it probably feels great on a cold day. Lucky to have this gem nearby. read more

Cloud City Coffee - Curry chickpea wrap with green salad and a soy matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a mostly good experience, with a couple of things that stood out--both positively and negatively. The ube coconut loaf was a standout--moist, flavorful, and a pleasant surprise on the menu. Lattes were solid, the smoky steak and brie sandwich was okay, but the crispy cucumber salad was a highlight. On the service side, things could have been better. While the baristas got our drinks out in a reasonable time, the vibe felt off. At one point, we overheard staff gossiping about another customer's request, which isn't something you want to hear as a guest. Overall, there are some great menu items here, and I'd come back for the ube loaf alone. Just hoping for a more welcoming atmosphere next time! read more

We came to Cloud City as a party of 2 on a Sunday morning. This was my first time, but I have admired their amazing sign for years! It was crowded but the service was fast. I was admiring all their merch while in line. We ordered an espresso and a maple drink. Perfect for a chilly morning. One thing about Cloud City I really like is that they have a free mug library. You can borrow reusable drink ware and even donate some of your own. The world needs to know this! Our visit was short and sweet! Check them out! read more

Disappointed. I had a BLT sandwich, cup of clam chowder, and a peppermint mocha. You walk in and it's a buzz of people and staff. You walk up and order then wait. My coffee is tasteless. Well, there's an "essence" to it but not really sweet or minty. The sandwich looks great on the website, but it's skinny with minimal ingredients. Then the clam chowder is super thin with the tiniest particles of what makes up a clam chowder. It's too loud with the music to study or work well, it's too crowded to get comfortable. The staff really only answered one question for me but I saw they were quite friendly to people who go there often or that they know. My only thing is the food and drink. If there was more flavor, even more lettuce in the BLT, I'd probably have been fine. But I got a dry, tasteless sandwich and a dry tasteless coffee with a thin clam chowder to eat it with. Sad, because from what I can see, they can do so much better. It kind of bothered me that I saw a staff member take a knife full of avocado spread and smash it on what appears to be his lunch, but no gloves. Everyone else wore gloves, so I thought that was nice. Just random staff member, making his lunch and the food sanitation rules out the door. read more

I ordered a Chocolate Chip Cookie and a vanilla latte. The cookie was good but the service was horrible I waited 25 minutes for one vanilla latte while a staff making my drink made one for an employee before me and went on his phone before making my drink do not recommend for drinks only go for food. read more

on a cloudy seattle saturday morning, it felt like half of maple leaf was at cloud city. adults, kids, toddlers, couples: the line was out the door. we got coconut bread and ube coconut bread. both very good, moist and coconutty, which you want when you're getting something billed as coconut. i also had the iced cardamom latte which was very sweet and had no noticeable taste of cardamom, hence one star off. (for the record, i'm on team cardamom and there can never be too much of it in anything as far as i'm concerned, but i honestly didn't taste any.) a handful of tables inside. if you want one, go early. some outside seating as well. they were pumping out drinks, bagged pastries and to go orders at a reasonable rate given the line so this is obviously a tried and true place in the neighborhood. read more

This place was super cute! cashier was very informative & sweet, got a #2 breakfast sandwich but with a croissant & added mayo and omg!!!! SOO good. their iced latte was good but i forgot to ask for oatmilk!! my mistake, but still delicious. read more

We get custom orders for work here and they have such a great variety. I'm delighted everytime we order

There is plenty of street parking and some parking in front of shop. Lots of merchandise to purchase (cups, coffee, shirt, etc). They have a full breakfast and lunch menu. They have a cup library and honor system coffee bar. Highly recommend stopping in. There is a changing table in the bathroom; because of seating in the shop it would be challenging maneuvering a stroller. They have gluten free and vegan food items on menu. read more

Great community hub who roasts their own coffee and has great food! A Seattle staple.

This right here is a place of great convenience to me, my darling friend lives close and we go grab some foods and drinks for dem folks. While the wait is long, I've got the patience for em, the food is grand for the mindless chewing while chatting up a folksy friend. It's a cute location, nice to sit by with them open doors and watch for perdy engines. read more

I placed an order online so I cant speak much to the customer service informatively. There is ample street parking. I got a make your own breakfast sandwich and the seasonal iced cranberry matcha. The matcha was the perfect balance of tea and sweetness for me. They have a variety of sandwiches you chose from our "make you own" I chose to do a bacon egg and cheese on sourdough. The bacon is a really great thick bacon, the Mayo is nice and flavorful and overall it was a great sandwich, however, it was a bit surprising that it was actually only half a sandwich and not a full sandwich which I didn't see indicates in the menu at all. So that was a bit disappointing but it was delicious nonetheless. I got my sandwich on sourdough and a PNW pet peeve of mine is that places call bread sourdough but it's more of an Italian style bread, not shake on this business as it is just what occurs here, but I am always on the look out for a breakfast Sammy with real sourdough, so I think it's important to let other sourdough snobs know as well. I'd definitely come back for the sandwich and the matcha! read more

Delicious baked goods I also liked there breakfast the gravy was sooo good and the coffee was very nice not too sweet it's a very family friendly place so a tad noisy and crowded but I took all my stuff to go it was sooo good read more

How I heard of this place: Back in 2018, we attended Soccer Shots at the Maple Leaf Park and Playground across the street. The parking lot was always bustling, so we finally made our way in for a post-game treat. Type of cuisine: A simple cafe with typical coffee/espresso and children's beverages, small bites and treats, and more. Ambiance: Set in a home on the corner of a busy street, the space is somewhat compact, but warm and generally welcoming. Tables and chairs are available, as well as a corner for children to read, play and engage with peers and families amid white walls with light decorations. What I ordered: A complete with whipped cream & rainbow sprinkles hot chocolate for the little one, and a mocha for me. What I loved: The family friendly, neighborhood feeling inside. It seemed that folks from around the neighboring houses took their morning walk and ended up here. The whole, entire neighborhood. Why I loved it: Family friendly environment despite the very milky, vanilla (plain) beverages. Cost: Average ($3-$6 per beverage depending on size/item). read more

Mommy and daughter mornings are becoming 'a thing' for us. She really enjoys coming here for their delicious breakfast sandwiches; croissants in particular. Their cookies are super yummy too! On this particular day, Martin Luther King Day was being celebrated. Because we mentioned it, the wonderful barista made my week by comping my latte. I was filled with hope and accepted the love being received. We've been here many times, but this particular day reminded me to review them for being so awesome. The customer service is always welcoming and calm. The overall energy of the space welcomes people of all walks of life. You'll find posters and flags supporting BIPOC, and information on scholarships, local Girl Scout sales, animal healing, and so much more. The vibe here is different and a great reminder of why difference should be embraced. read more

Incredibly friendly staff. Outdoor seating was a calming experience for Sunday morning. Obviously it was busy at that time. Just a touch overwhelming for a first time visitor but overall a very nice place. Saw someone else order a croissant that seemed to reign from heavens own bakery. Would like to order that next time. I got an iced latte. Exactly as expected. Got a fun free sticker too. read more

I went to this place 2 days in a row and really liked it! The second day was a bit rough, and probably more of a 3 star day. Food is delicious, but my order was all wrong. I had asked for a breakfast sandwich on a bagel, and instead got English muffin, but it was honestly so good i didn't mind. I also got a latte with oat milk, and while drinking it, I wondered what kind of oat milk is this? It's so good! But i think they used real milk, judging by my multiple trips to the bathroom in the following hour. Next time I will specify it's for a milk allergy. The seating is cute, outdoors and bright without total direct sunlight. I think it could be improved with a fan for some airflow. Good local place :) read more

I was really into this place before . However it's definitely downgrading from great service to miserable . I been getting a maple leaf latte often . But my coffee was made horrible in my recent visit and I was treated like crap . I complained about the flavor politely to the "manager " of the coffee area . It was a young girl with glasses . Cashier told me to approach them to "fix the drink "... I went to explain that my coffee was not tasty , had a bunch of milk , no good flavor or coffee taste . She went to give me a pump of maple syrup . Ok " I gave it a try . Then it was worse . So I added a shot of coffee* I had to purchase . Still no good flavor . They should definitely review their service to clients & how organize they are satisfying the customers . They seem to only want to finish their drinks and go after business & or baristas more on the socializing among them selves , not paying attention to details of drinks . I been here before . This is the WORST. It's more for a popularity *** kinda place . It's very disorganized. I wouldn't waste my money again . Please try your beverage before leaving , It's a waste of money . Although it's somewhat renovated .. but crowded and getting more worse in service . read more

I really enjoyed my time here. I got a hot maple leaf latte with oat milk and it was amazing. The right amount of sweet maple, not too overpowering. I also got the chocolate chip banana bread which was good, but I wish it was warmed or toasted. They didn't offer and I didn't ask so I'm not sure if that's an option here. The staff was very friendly and there were a variety of seating types which was great to get /9'e light work done. Very position atmosphere. read more

The best coffee spot in the neighborhood. The breakfast sandwiches are straightforward, no frills but tasty.

Came in here on a whim. It always looked busy, so I thought it has to be good! And I was right! LOL Their coffee was excellent, and I tried their apple pie. Oh man, sooo good! Cool ambience, VERY friendly staff and just an overall good experience! I will love to come back! Thanks! read more

Was in the area for a couple of hours and was looking for an espresso place were I could sit, read, and spend some good time while waiting. Unfortunately Ravenna's Cafe Ladro was closed so I pulled up Yelp and I found this place, which was actually closer to the location I needed to be at. Once I got there I was not sure if the place was what I was looking for, because there is no sign or I couldn't see any, and the place looks a bit run down, but I peeked in and sure enough it was it. Got my usual cortado, which came with sparkling water, similar to how cafe ladro serves it, great! Preparation is quite slow, but whatever, it seems to be the norm around here. I'm used to the speed of Italian baristas in italy and omg there's no competition... in italy they are so fast! Anyway, I get my drink and I sit down outside under a canopy. The cortado is delicious and I spend some productive time reading undisturbed. I peeked at the food, but I couldn't see anything that seemed worth the sugar/calorie intake, so I passed. Anyway, I enjoyed the drink and the ambience, even if it showed its age. read more

I'm so happy that nothing important has changed about the experience here in my decade of absence. Everything tastes great, everyone is friendly, there's lots of good seating. Parking sucks but that's not their fault. Don't leave here without a slice of their coconut bread- I've never met its equal. read more

My favorite go to is the coffee with a peanut butter cookie or morning glory muffin. Great neighborhood vibe!

I've been here a handful of times and it's never disappointed! The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the vibe is fantastic (though I've never eaten in). Any food orders can take a while during busy periods, so just be aware of that. As for specific food items, the breakfast sandwiches are so good, and filling (I usually eat them over two breakfasts) and I can't stop ordering the turkey club wrap, it's that good. I definitely recommend this for a nice beverage and a bite! read more

Stopped by for a lunch and pretty decent! I am probably out of touch but the food prices have gotten pricey as two drinks and two sandwiches were $32 before tip. We got a breakfast sandwich, turkey club wrap, vanilla latte, and mocha. Lots of street/general parking spots and even more room to sit outside (undercover) to work on some things if the weather allows. Overall a good lunch! Food (4.5/5) Breakfast sandwich was a small little snack and pretty tasty but sort of overpriced. Turkey club wrap had such great texture from the bacon and really fresh tasting! Coffee (4/5): the vanilla latte was pretty good. Not super strong but not weak either. The iced mocha was just ok. The chocolate syrup was really overpowering but my sister really liked it (so it might just be a preference thing). read more

The iced caramel latte was probably one of the best beverages I have had. The sausage and egg sandwich was good. There wasn't anything special about it, nothing that made me immediately order another one but it was okay. The service was fast, efficient and very friendly! read more

I had the best tuna sandwich here today. Excellent! Also, the new outdoor seating is lovely! Let's in the sun and keeps us dry.

Have been coming to this place for years, and even when I moved to a neighborhood further away I make a point to come visit because of the great coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches! Love this place even more after today, my partner dropped his wallet while we were eating here and didn't realize until we got home. Even though they were closed when I went back to check for it, an employee was still inside and kindly let me in and let me know they had found the wallet and had been looking for a way to contact us! SO grateful to cloud city for providing not only great food but a great community! read more

Great staff and atmosphere. The coffee is incredible and you should try the coconut bread. I need to learn how to make this bread. The atmosphere is really nice and the breakfast sandwiches are made to order. You will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely love this place! Delicious coffees, sandwhiches and sweet treats and it is conveniently located near Maple Leaf Reservoir. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is that the service can be pretty slow/long wait times. Other than that, it would be 5 stars in my book. Cute ambiance though can get very crowded inside since it is small. read more

Drink (4/5): I love getting a cup of coffee and talking around maple leaf. The latte was well balanced between the sweetness of the vanilla and the bitterness of the coffee. It honestly depends on the barista who is making your drink. Most of the time, my coffee comes out delicious. Service and location (4/5): Recently, the barista messed up my order and gave me an iced latte rather than an iced vanilla latte. But other than that it is a great neighborhood cafe that has outdoor seating (due to covid). They have a one-way flow (due to covid) and have customers wait outside for their orders to maintain social distancing. The location of the cafe is perfect where it is within walking distance of Maple Leaf Park. Parking (4/5): Parking to go to Cloud City can be a doozy because they do have parking but it is less than 10 spots and can be difficult to get in and out. There is also street parking but on a busy day, it can be extremely difficult to find a parking spot. But eventually, you will find one. I also recommend parking closer to the park and walking there as well. - Please vote below, comment, and like the photos to give me feedback on my reviews - For more reviews and photos, follow my instagram: @nvc.eats read more
