My lattes and cold brew are solid though my friend, who likes dark brewed coffee, couldn't get one here today. They do have mugs and glasses available which I always get to avoid using single use ware. But the Classic Avocado Toast, oh MY!! Delicious and full of avocado (which my pic didn't quite capture). Watermelon radish added beauty. Wasabi mayo added a nice tart, tangy flavor. Delicious bread too. Coming back again for that soon!!

My go-to is the Missile, which is a sweet cold brew. I might need to change it up because it's a bit too much on the sweeter side now that I'm more into black coffee. Verve Coffee is always a great way to get your coffee fix and it's a local institution!

My only surprise was that it was a smaller coffee drink than I was expecting, maybe 6 oz or so. As for the food, it was also delicious! The portion size was solid and everything worked really well together. There was the flaky toasted bread (not a traditional Cuban bread but still really good), and the perfect amount of mustard and cheese! The sandwich isn't traditional necessarily, but it is still amazing and something I would definitely eat again. It did take about 20 minutes to get to us, however, and we came in at a fairly slow time. I think this is such a hidden gem and I am so glad I found this place! I will definitely come back and try more of their coffee drinks!

At the moment, any espresso drink in general works but their seasonal drinks do look interesting. A quick stop here while I was in SC and checking this food hall out. Cat & Cloud is a small cafe with friendly staff that makes great coffee (then again it's the only one in this little food hall) so you'll get your great coffee fix here and enjoy your meal as well. They have a few pastries but I didn't get a chance to try them so if I'm ever back in the area, I'll give them a try and also curious to try their holiday drinks too.

Came back here again because I wanted to try the Chai overnight oats. They were just okay, not a…read morelot of chai flavor and they weren't really sweet. The main flavor came from the cashew and date toppings. We also ordered their breakfast burrito which wasn't all that good either. Also something to note, from what I can tell their items like the breakfast burritos are premade which I wasn't really a huge fan of. I can't speak for their specialty coffees but I don't think I would come back here for the food. There is also a little bit of a limited seating for indoors, but a good amount of seating outside. Staff were really nice though and clearly like what they do.

Coffee, Ocean Views & a Mini-Retreat for the Soul…read more I've been to A LOT of places for coffee, and I'll just say it: I'm a coffee snob. So when I say the coffee here is awesome, I mean it! What makes this place special isn't just the coffee--it's the entire experience. Operated by the Catholic Church, this peaceful coffee establishment has a beautiful prayer garden where you can stroll, reflect, and maybe even get your thoughts straight before your second cup. My bride and I spent FOUR HOURS here reading, journaling, talking, and enjoying the serenity. And yes, we were still happily married when we left! The view of the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. You can walk across the street, sit on a bench, and simply listen to the waves. There's also a spacious patio, clean restrooms, friendly and polite staff, and an atmosphere that seems to say, "Slow down...you're allowed to breathe." This isn't just a place to grab a cup of coffee. It's a place to grab a cup of coffee, grab your thoughts, grab your bride, and grab a little peace for your soul. As a Yelp Elite reviewer--and someone who takes coffee VERY seriously--this place gets my enthusiastic recommendation. Great coffee. Great people. Great atmosphere. Incredible view. And a prayer garden thrown in for good measure. Sometimes you don't need a vacation. You just need four hours, two cups of coffee, the Pacific Ocean, and someone you love sitting across the table. #YelpElite #CoffeeSnob #CoffeeLovers #PacificOcean #CoffeeAndViews #PrayerGarden #MiniRetreat #DateDay #GreatCoffee #HiddenGem #CoffeeWithAView #SoulRefreshment

If you're going to a Verve, definitely go to that one. This one's less busy and safe to say I understand why now... also matcha lovers beware!!! A small matcha with nondairy milk comes out to be an upwards of ten dollars and has zero matcha taste to it.
