I ordered Tiramisu latte it was delicious not sweet just right about of sweetness. If you like a lot of sweetness this might not be your drink unless you ask to be more sweet As for parking that's a bit tough since all street parking also meters in place and only take coins. I did see a public garage a block away for those plan stay there for a longer time Definitely a place to checkout

The food options looked good too but I was full from lunch and just wanted a cold coffee! I like how they have a big interesting menu of drinks and milk alternatives. I really liked the outdoor patio - I could see that being a fun place to hang out with friends.

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!!

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.

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. It genuinely tasted like they poured milk in a cup and then added a drop of green food coloring to it. I recommend cat and cloud one street over! They're all super friendly there so the ambiance is a lot nicer

This was my first time ever at this particular coffee shop, and I was so happy I found it when I…read moredid!! I was looking for something heavier than a pastry and found out they had breakfast sandwiches and their own bagels! Score!! To my surprise, they also had specialty drinks so I had to get the Blondie latte with a plant-based milk. I asked the lady if it was sweet and she said it came with a tablespoon of brown sugar. But they could switch it and make it a teaspoon instead. Perfect! As I got my latte it was amazing!! The espresso used in the latte was actually a mild roast coffee so I really liked the flavor of it roast and it was Organic!! Win-win!! Since I'm trying to avoid dairy at the moment, I asked if I could get the lox bagel sandwich without cream cheese and replace it with avocado. The lady at the register asked another barista behind her and she said it was fine! Perfect!! You also get to pick out what type of bagel you want, so I wanted to try something different and got the sun-dried tomato and basil or something like that! The sweet flavors of the herbs in the bagel and then the juiciness of the tomato baked into the bread once simply wonderfully with my breakfast sandwich!! There's a cute little waiting area inside with at least 10 tables or seats along the breakfast bar counter and a couple of tables. There's also a very large outdoor seating area, but I was cold so I wanted to sit inside to warm up my body since I was going to go to yoga on the beach. I had only planned on eating half the bagel sandwich but honestly, it was so good when it came out. I sat there for a good 20 minutes until I ate the whole thing!! Lol so funny!! I was so stuffed I had to walk an extra mile before I could start my yoga on the beach! As I sat enjoying my breakfast sandwich, I got to overhear the two barista's talk about music!! One of the baristas allowed her device to search new genres of music while the other barista specifically looked up different genres of music she liked and then would tell her device to find music of that era. So interesting to hear their discussion!! I honestly loved everything about this quaint little coffee shop, and I will definitely be back again and again!!
