The pricing here is deceptive, with the ā€œtemporary tariff surchargeā€ on top of the ā€œhealth contributionā€. (Just raise the prices on the board.) 2 drinks and a pastry came out to $25(!). I was going to get a chai but the barista warned that it would be too sweet, so I got a matcha, which was grainy and too bitter. The baklava was very tasty.

I’ve been here a few times. Unfortunately when I stopped in today, I guess I didn’t understand that their purpose was toā€grab and goā€. I stopped in to work, my laptop battery was low, and was told there were no outlets. I had just ordered a coffee, and it’s a half an hour drive home with traffic. I see an outlet on the wall above a window, I ask a staffer if I can use it, they said sure. Problem solved. Then someone approached me and said I cannot use the outlet let because it’s a hazard ( it was above a window rather than down low). I said I can’t stay if I don’t use it, I just bought this coffee, and there are no other outlets. He told me that was the whole purpose of cat and cloud, that it’s grab and go. I pointed at my coffee cup, which was for here. And I said then why do you have coffee and food for here? He said that’s a great question. Any way, he put my coffee in a to go cup and I left. I can’t say this was a good hospitality experience, and I won’t be returning.

1. First, let me say that the service is always incredible here. The people who work here are always extremely helpful and sweet. 2. The place is roomy, sunny, hip but not exclusive, family-friendly but not full of screaming children, so in short, able to serve all comfortably. It's a little cool in the winter time, so not terribly attractive for me, but that's not exactly a huge problem since I live quite nearby.
3. I am, however extremely disappointed yet again in the kitchen :/. I really loved their old staff's vegan burrito. I don't know if it is the same people or if not. However, I have been being given a vegetarian burrito every time I order a vegan burrito and unfortunately I've ordered to go and not noticed until biting into it later. This is not really something I want... :(. I specifically ordered vegan, not vegetarian...and I noticed the grease definitely was BACON. I'm not someone who makes a huge deal about veganism or even vegetarianism myself, because I can't afford to be.
I live on SSDI and I adopted veganism as part of my medical plan. It's helped save a lot of money too! But other people who are definitely looking to avoid certain things like pork or egg really, REALLY need to be aware that this place is a) not listening in the kitchen, no matter how great they are at the counter b) they definitely don't care enough to look at your order closely.
So please, look at your order if you *do* decide to eat here, or order something else.
Otherwise, I really like this place. Ok EDIT: THERE WAS BACON IN THIS! ACTUAL BACON!

Edited again:
I took my burrito back, since I do live a short walk away and they were very sweet and gave me a refund and a new, vegan burrito at 3:30pm or so, which is near when they close. So that was really very nice of them. :)
What happened: there were two numbers as mine (65) and we'd both ordered the breakfast burrito, but apparently mine was vegan and the other woman's was not. I had placed mine at the end of the bar where I was sitting and didn't see anyone move the number, but apparently she must have been handed my burrito earlier or she took it later. I looked closer and the name on the ticket was not mine, it was Anna. But the staff knew about the mix-up before I went back, so it seems that the other woman must have made the discovery first.

Kitchen staff walked right past me, and to a group of twenty-somethings to ask if their burrito was vegan...just maybe remember I'm alone and come back for a reason, not because I am refueling on caffeine like a robot lol. Also, this may be because I came back at 3:30 and the kitchen was closing, but the potatoes were unfortunately soggy in the vegan burrito while the potatoes in the regular burrito were nicely crispy, although bacon grease may be the culprit here. Not everyone has the talent of frying potatoes using only vegetable oils...:).

Extremely sweet if not particularly thoughtful staff, quality ingredients, up and down delivery.
Thank you Cat & Cloud for my vegan burrito. Your staff is very polite & considerate.

Modern location with great coffee and yummy snacks. Whether you need a mid day pick me a up, your morning coffee to get through the day, or somewhere to catch up with friends, this is a great location to visit! Their coffee is delicious, and it's roasted in the back of this location and distributed to their other stores. On top of buying coffee and other drinks, you can buy ground or whole beans to brew at home, with tons of options available from blends to single origin beans from specific farmers.

Coffee was weak, when i complained they made me another cup, still weak, industry standard is 2 gm/ounce of water, they need to be aware. Breakfast burrito was fine.

Cat & Cloud Coffee is a great spot to have breakfast, brunch, snacks, quick coffee run etc. The parking wraps around the building with a one way driveway if you can't find street parking. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and produces flavorful fresh quality food, superb coffee and drinks plus excellent service to top it all off. They are balancing flavors and giving you something nourishing made with love. It's about a 5 min drive or less from Natural Bridges great after a walk to get something tasty. There is a roastery at this location. Their house coffee is a must try. Will definitely be back 5/5 stars!
