    iced latte
    Alice C.

    Super cute cafe in a nice location! It's located next to a driving range and aviation center with plenty of parking. This cafe is super nice to visit on a sunny morning - I usually like to get a cup of coffee and pastry for breakfast and just chill outside and chat. The service is good and the coffee is always good and consistent here. I always order an iced latte and there's never been any issues.

    I found this lovely café by chance driving by when I searched for a quick place to stop and work remotely before at an appointment at lunchtime in Palo Alto. I'm so happy I did because it's one of the few places that has a nice London Fog. I love that when you get your coffee "for here" it comes in actual ceramic mugs instead of plastic or paper. Thanks for creating less waste this way They even have metal utensils too! There is a long table inside with an outlet extension for working that could comfortably seat 6 people, but up to 10 if you really wanted to. Inside, it's bright with all the storefront glass and spacious with its open strut ceiling concept. Aside from coffee and tea, they also have salads, croffles, tartines of various combinations, and pastries so you can grab a quick bite or dessert too. Parking is limited right in front of the café but there's another parking lot in the area so I wouldn't worry about parking here either. The cloud 9 name and theme is so clever since it is right by an aviation club. The music inside is light and unobtrusive. Outside there's a peaceful, quiet patio with shade, sun, and flowers. Absolutely magical.

    What a hidden gem! I came here on a solo brunch back in 2024. Felt like I was on Cloud Nine. I enjoyed sitting in the outdoor patio on a sunny day with a cup of hot sesame latte, salmon avocado tartine, and a matcha croffle while reading my favorite book. Everything was delicious, freshly made, and the server was kind to bring the food to my table. It was so relaxing and less loud since there was no music playing. Only great for conversations and remote work.

    Lattes; butterscotch and red velvet
    Mona A.

    Sad to write this updated review as this has been our go to coffee shop for to go orders and the latest few times it has been disappointing but today was the worst; their croffles (my guilty pleasure, but in all fairness who doesn't love croissants made into a waffle with matcha?!) but this time their croffle was horrible, because it was made with old croissants and as a croissant lover you can easily identify reheated croissants, which is super disappointing and it was hard to chew, was dry and not good. Their latest lattes have also been not good so I wonder what happens to their quality? Maybe it's inflation but switching out ingredients? Disappointed and sad as this was an incredible spot :( I hope they fix it

    Latte and egg avocado toast
    Rachel C.

    Delicious food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the avocado toast, iced chai, and a latte and everything was delicious. The chai was perfectly spiced and refreshing, and the avocado toast was super tasty - creamy avocado on rustic bread with arugula, tomato, and balsamic. Yum! We sat outside in the sun and it was the perfect way to start the day. Will definitely be back!

    Pastry selection

    Cloud9 Coffee is perched between a small airport and a golf range. With a small somewhat confusing parking lot and some street parking, Cloud9 Coffee is busy especially weekend mornings. The menu has a great selection of specialty coffee, tea, pastries, toasts and of course their beloved croffles. This Korean cafe is quite small inside with limited seating indoors but a good amount of outdoor seating. There is a small selection of merchandise, beans, and some dog products for sale. The pastries are from Midwife & the Baker so you know they're solid. Service is pretty inefficient and inconsistent here. Some of the orders are brought out to you by the workers while some orders just sit on the coffee counter unclaimed with no name or receipt attached to it. We received a drink and a toast via delivery to our table by a worker. We then waited 10 minutes for the rest of our order to come out but finally gave up and my husband went inside to check on the order. Apparently my iced coffee and scone had been sitting abandoned on the counter for a while. When he asked "is this the butterscotch latte for Stephanie?", the worker shrugged and was unsure of the drink. So it's safe to say, the service here is a bit messy and disorganized. The cashier never asked if we were dining for here or to-go. Our toast came out on a plate while the pastry came out in a disposable sleeve. Lack of communication seems to be the issue here. If they could implement a standardized pick up system and perhaps just stick with numbers (rather than names) it would be less confusing. Also if they asked customers whether they would like their order to-go that would be more efficient. Butterscotch latte - Creamy, good balance of coffee to milk ratio. Sweet but not too sweet in my opinion. Quite enjoyable and goes well with a scone. Brie proscuitto toast - The country bread is substantial but holds up well without getting soggy. The brie was creamy and rich. The proscuitto added a nice touch of salt while the balsamic adds a bold acidic contrast. All together with the greens and mangoes, the flavors come together well. Orangesicle scone with vanilla drizzle - Crumbly but still moist, this scone is refreshing and you can taste the citrus flavor. The vanilla flavor is a nice touch adding some light sweetness. Final thoughts: Coffee and toast/pastries were delicious. This is a great outdoor spot especially on a day with some nice sunshine. Service is a little disorganized and can be really confusing. We noticed the workers making a lot of mistakes with other nearby customers' orders. Unless they make changes to their communication with customers, I would suggest waiting inside for your order so theres less room for error.

    Black sesame latte - Amazing latte! The best I've had in a while. My black sesame latte (with an added shot) was smooth and creamy and nutty and just the right amount bitter. A lot of the black sesame had settled at the bottom of the cup once I had finished the drink, so that taste was quite mild. I liked it anyway, like a latte with a hint of nuttiness. Immaculate atmosphere - Most seating is located outdoors, right next to a golf course. It's calming and bright and overall quite lovely.

    Brie Pear Tartine & Thai Tea Latte
    Allie G.

    Cloud9 Coffee was awesome! I visited on a Saturday morning and found the place pretty busy. The interior was bright and clean, with minimal decor and some indoor seating. Most of the seating was outside on the (dog-friendly) patio though. I love when coffee shops have real food on their menu, and Cloud9 had sandwiches, salads, and tartines. The tartines all sounded so good, I had the hardest time choosing, but went with the Brie Pear. For coffee, I chose the Thai Tea Latte. Service was pretty quick despite them being so busy, and I was able to snag a table outside. My Thai Tea Latte was phenomenal. The flavor was so good, and the drink wasn't overly sweet. I also loved the Brie Pear Tartine - such a nice combination of textures and flavors. Will be returning to explore more of the menu!

    Vanilla latte
    Hanh T.

    One of my fav spots so far! The vanilla latte has a great balance of flavors: the robust, nuttiness of the coffee vs. the lightly sweet vanilla. My first thought was that it tastes like Vietnamese coffee but less sweet which is perfect for me. Only downside is the WiFi is not great here, that is if you care to work there.

    My husband come here every once in awhile. We love the calming ambiance of the sunlight over here. The parking lot is small, but we park in the lot across from it sometimes. I love their coffee and their croffles! They offer a pretty good variety of food, which is appreciated. The staff are always friendly and, while the food orders can be backed up sometimes, we don't mind the wait as we sip the coffee and slow down time on a busy morning

    Flat white
    Jason H.

    Casual patio coffee shop and outdoor dining for breakfast or lunch which is a bit of a locals spot. I can recommend the spicy tuna sandwich and flat white. Most tables are partly shaded and next to the Palo Alto airport and the Bay Lands nature preserve. Tip: best when it's sunny, warm and not windy. It's still fairly quiet as the airport serves only small planes, so a good spot for conversation with friends.

    Carine B.

    Went back today, it was a nice clear and sunny day with a slight breeze. I ordered a flat white and have decided their coffee is pretty decent. It's a nice open café, and the food menu looks delicious. staff are friendly.

    Ham and cheese croffle
    Lindsay C.

    I wasn't expecting to find this spot right by the Palo Alto airport. I tried their holiday drink the peppermint mocha, it was light on the peppermint and not too sweet which was nice but I wanted a tad bit more peppermint flavor. My husband got the drip coffee, and we shared a ham and cheese croffle. After one bite, I told him he needed to order his own. The croffle (croissant waffle) was buttery and chewy, with a nice balance of sweet and savory from the ham, cheese, spring mix, and balsamic glaze. There's a few tall stools inside but plenty of seating outside. Sometimes it's nice to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee and look up at the sky.

Ordered: Hojicha Einspanner (go to), Espresso Tonic (go to), Seasonal Drinks, Pour Over Covour is one of our favorite coffee shops and we always come during the weekends! Highly recommend going early because the parking fills up fast, therefore, the seating in the coffee shop fills up fast as well. Our go-tos are usually an Iced Hojicha Einspanner and a pour over, Iced Americano, or an Espresso Tonic. We've tried their matcha as well, which is also solid! Every single time we have gone (which is usually when they open), there is already a line forming outside the door. Depending on how busy it is, we have waited between 12-18 minutes for our drinks (on the high end), but the drinks are always so yummy! They also have an amazing selection of pastries including an everything croissant, cookies, mochi, pistachio raspberry croissant, spinach and feta croissant, and a mushroom croissant to name a few! Their Hojicha Einspanner is sooo good. The Einspanner is so creamy and their Hojicha is the perfect, balanced amount of nutty flavors. Whenever I have ordered this drink, people are always eyeing to see what it is because the presentation is also that good! The Espresso Tonic is also a perfect summer drink and the shot was pulled perfectly. If you want to get some work done here, I'd highly recommend coming early so you can grab a table and to also bring your headphones because it does get busy and loud. They also have WiFi and one single bathroom. Thanks Covour Coffee!

I especially love getting either the matcha or hojicha latte with the soft serve top. The soft serve melts into the drink and makes the latte even creamier, but it's also delicious to eat straight off the top. I love the balance of sweetness with the deeper matcha flavor- it still tastes distinctly like matcha rather than just a sweet milk drink. // Cheese Tart I was initially skeptical about a matcha cheese tart, but this completely changed my mind. It's essentially like a rich, creamy matcha cheesecake inside a buttery tart crust. The filling has such a deep, creamy flavor, and the buttery crust pairs so well with the matcha. So yummy! They have other flavors like Hokkaido and Ube, which are a bit sweeter in comparison with the matcha cheese tart. I keep missing out on the seasonal strawberry flavor when it comes around. Their cheese tarts are definitely one of the things that makes Maruwu stand out from other matcha spots. There is seating inside but it can be quite loud and packed sometimes. Service is usually pretty fast even if there's a long line.

The shop is decently sized with a good amount of seating and lines out the door are not uncommon. Ordering is done with the cashier or on a kiosk, both having the same line, and orders are made fairly quickly once placed. The seasonal drinks rotate every few months so it is best to try them before they're gone. While in the area on a Friday night after having dinner nearby, I noticed the poster in the window for their seasonal Hawaiian ube & matcha latte so I decided to try it out. I ordered mine iced with regular sweetness. The drink looked very good with the contrast of the green, white, and purple. The ube mashed puree was tasty with strong ube flavor, however it was only lined around the inside bottom of the cup and there wasn't much at the bottom to actually consume. After mixing the drink, the ube flavor was very minimal and there was quite a bit of ice that made the matcha taste watered down, though I did taste the matcha before mixing. I also did finish the drink rather quickly since there was so much ice in the cup. I'm usually a fan of Maruwu Seicha's offerings, especially their seasonal drinks, but unfortunately the execution of this drink didn't quite hit it for me. The ingredients individually were very good but the combination was not executed well since my drink tasted watered down. Hopefully I had a one off with this drink and this is not the new standard. That being said, I still would come back to try their newest menu items but will make sure to request little to no ice.
