So glad I discovered this coffee shop! Such a cute little shop and great atmosphere. The service was friendly and great! The coffee was on point! Nice and hot! I'll be back!

The drinks are unique, the hanging hammocks are a fun novelty, and the service is informative and helpful. Love this place.

Funky and awesome. The hanging hammocks, unusual drink choices, and helpful servers make this a bucket list item in Santa Cruz.

Coffee is yum! I got the mocha with the works, and tried the light beige (a blended drink) with a good bitterness. Saw a pink glazed donut topped with sprinkles and animal crackers and my kids devoured it. I do wish they had bigger size cups. Everything is one size - small - like the "tall" cup that you would get at Starbucks. Friendly baristas. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bowl for doggies to have water.

On name alone I wanted to try this place. I love the decorated atmosphere of Cat & Cloud. The baristas are really sweet and gave us great recommendations for drinks. The creamy beige was wildly good. The Americano kind of tasted like that burnt cigar aftertaste one gets lol, but personally that's an endearing flavor. Thank you for the great service!

I love Cat & Cloud. I have visited other locations but was the first time visiting this downtown location. We stopped by to pick up some coffee & food on the way to the boardwalk. There is metered street parking & a nearby lot. This location is indoors shared with other food places. They do have a limited food menu that differs from the other locations. We had to get the other C&C Breakfast Burrito since the other Breakfast Burrito is one of my favs. Despite eating it on the beach, it was still hot! it tasted delicious & the tortilla had a nice crunch to it. I just wish they gave more green sauce. We had ordered a vanilla latte & a mocha & those were both creamy & perfect too. Their baristas were so nice to talk to as well. Will definitely be coming back!

I tried the creamy beige with an extra shot of expresso but the frap/ blended texture was a bit strange. It wasn't super flavorful even with the extra shot of expresso. Cute vibe though!

First time here! Sunday afternoon it was time to finally try this place out! I've seen and heard about this place for a while now as I pass through it so many times, but haven't tried it until today! I had to try out the basics first, so I ordered a small Iced Vanilla Latte (half and half)! First sip and it was delicious! It was a great balance between sweetness and caffeine taste- Need to note that it costs around 7~ Cat & Cloud Coffee is inside Abbott Square with other food restaurants and a mini dive bar! As being said there's seating all around the indoor & outdoor area. I'd definitely come back, thanks Cat & Cloud for this 5/5 drink!

stopped by here and casually received one of the best looking and tasting mocha's i've ever had
Saw tons of people go to their other location near the beach, so went to check this out and it didn't disappoint! Luckily this location is in a downtown food hall, so it stays open later than the other locations (which close at 3pm). Ordered the iced vanilla latte and hot chai. The iced vanilla latte was good, smooth and with a hint of vanilla. The hot chai was amazing though! It was so warm with the right amount of spice. Service was quick and staff were so friendly. There's lots of seating here since it's in a food hall. For parking, you may have to find a paid parking garage unless you luck out with street parking.

Good latte, but not ok to charge $1.50 for alternative milk. You not using cows milk and the amount that's used for an iced latte is not even a cup. Alternative milk should be included in the price

Boy it breaks my heart to write this review. I'd heard such amazing things about Cat and Cloud, and as someone who has an espresso machine at home and practices the hobby daily, I was looking forward to a great macchiato. Waiting in line, I noted how great their design looked. Marketing is marketing but they looked like they knew what they were doing. I'm sure the beans are roasted well, and I think everything had to do with the barista who made my drink... But that's only an explanation, not an excuse. The drink I got was so watery that the milk didn't even have any visible texture. It was all a flat, uniform light brown. No steaming/froth at all. The espresso was incredibly sour and under extracted. Sadly, I won't be returning. Hope they can develop a more uniform training of their staff

This was a back up choice for my morning brew.. but I was so stoked it turned out this way! Staff was super friendly! I tour alot of coffee roasters/shops.. #1 thing that makes/breaks a place is the vibe and staff.. #2 is delicious coffee.. and this place nailed both. They use their "The Answer" (caramel, Chocolate and berry notes) for their espresso drinks.. I ordered a vanilla oat latte.. I could taste the berries in this!! Snagged a bag of beans to take home for aeropress and can't wait for tomorrow's cup. Well done C&C, meow!
