Cat & Cloud Coffee

Sweet coffee shop - located in food court next to museum. Staff were super friendly and happy to make recommendations.

I had the overnight oats and a cappuccino - both delish!

A tip: this is a great spot to escape the bustle of pacific avenue. Just one block back, with tons of seating, inside and outside.

The drip coffee single origin was on par with a pour over for a great price. Their espresso drinks are also good. The vegan coffee cake good, nice and moist. The banana bread was very moist and great as well. Croissant also good. Aka everything here is amazing, definitely would go here often if I lived in SC!

Cute little coffee shop next to the MAH. The mocha was very delicious, but a little on the sweeter side. I also had a macchiato, a lot smaller than most people may be accustomed to, but it had everything you need in a morning cup of espresso and milk. The pastries are a little sad. What I thought was chocolate was actually blueberry buckwheat… nice. The vegan coffee cake that “did not taste vegan” actually did taste vegan and gummy. The banana bread was okay but felt more like a walnut bread with banana in it. I find it very rare when I do not like the pastries and felt that for the first time, I was good with just my drink!

I got a vanilla latte with oatmilk. It was really great. The food hall is really cute. One of the best vanilla latte’s I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone who loves coffee!!

Great coffee and chai; Even the drip coffee tastes wonderful. friendly and efficient service.

Really nice coffee shop and friendly staffs. I ordered flat white. It’s the best taste ever!

This is by-far the best coffee in Santa Cruz AND by-far the best service in Santa Cruz! The aesthetic is beautiful and comfortable and it’s located in Abbott Square Market, a good hall next to the Mah. We definitely recommend this caffeine stop!

I'm unashamedly a fan of the Portola location but this trip has me in a different part of town so figured would give this one a try.

Simply superb espresso, properly good. Don't miss :)

...and yes the brownie delicious and gf too :)

Pro tip: it's inside thev Abbot Square Market building, so a little hard to see from the street

Been wanting to try this place out, finally made a trip to Santa Cruz to do it. This location is in a little market next to a few restaurants, and it’s shaded from the sun - a perfect place to duck into for a break from exploring downtown Santa Cruz. I had their chai latte, which was delicious.

The best staff ever! Super friendly, kind, and genuine. The coffee is great too.
