    The closed sign when we got off the highway specifically to visit this coffee shop.
    Francie N.

    Disappointed! Found directions to this shop and was looking forward to a an iced coffee and found a closed sign for the afternoon on the front door.

    Really nice cafe that allows pets, and their coffee is really good. Nice place to sit and do work, or just chat with friends and family members.

    Grab-N-Go Burrito
    Brian L.

    This is our go to coffee shop when we are going south out of town. It's not super close to the freeway but I rather drive a little farther to get really good coffee than to stop somewhere immediately off the freeway for just average coffee. Their Grab-N-Go Burrito is decent but it lacks in comparison to THE Breakfast Burrito from their location on the west side. That makes sense though as this location does not have a kitchen like the west side location does. The people who work at this location are friendly as always and are willing to answer any questions you may have about the menu. If you live in Aptos and have not tried Cat & Cloud coffee, please give it a try. I am pretty sure you will thank me later

    We were in town for a chill weekend at a friend's beach house in Aptos, and naturally, coffee was a must. Enter: Cat & Cloud -- a spot with serious vibes. From the moment we saw the signage, we knew this place had personality. The branding is on point -- soft pink and blue hues, totally inviting, and the kind of place you'd love to post up at for a slow morning. Unfortunately, with two young toddlers in tow, we had to take our drinks to go. Still, it was impossible not to soak up the energy of the space -- it's upbeat, stylish, and clearly a local favorite. I wish I remembered the name of our drink, but it was basically a frozen iced coffee that puts any Frappuccino to shame. Rich, creamy, and bursting with quality coffee flavor -- you can taste the difference. Whatever milk or cream they used? Absolute perfection. The staff deserves a shout-out too. Despite it being busy (Sunday morning rush), they were friendly, quick, and super knowledgeable when we asked for drink recs. Next time we're back in Aptos, this will definitely be our go-to coffee stop. If you're anywhere nearby -- don't miss it.

    A busy place packed of seating and tables to lounge, work and relax. Drinks are soothing and I love all the drawings and gradients.

    Avocado toast and Mocha
    Rebecca C.

    We stayed in Aptos for a quick weekend away. We usually want to try new places everyday, but after we tried the avocado toast we knew we had to go back the next day. Seriously, the avocado toast is better than most places in the Bay. Plus it's got a chill vibe and cool merch. Lauren was fantastic! She was personable and remembered us from the day before. She was knowledgeable about the menu and the other locations. We'll definitely be back the next time we're down near Santa Cruz.

    Love the vibes here! Simple, straightforward menu, and the staff is super friendly! I've been here a handful of times and I wish I lived closer so that this could be my everyday coffee spot. The interior is super bright and airy and there is an abundance of seating. They have multiple locations in Santa Cruz County, but the Aptos location is the one I've patroned. Their Lavender latte is my personal favorite (iced or hot), and their vanilla latte is solid. For breakfast you can't miss The "Other" Cat & Cloud Burrito (Pork chorizo, scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, flour tortilla with housemade tomatillo salsa on the side) which is so flavorful; their salsa is also fire! If you're looking for something on the healthier side, their Coconut Creme & Berries Chia Oat Porridge is really yummy too. Definitely stop by Cat & Cloud if you want to start your day off on the right note!

    The staff here are amazing! Super warm, all smiles, and they actually remembered me when I came in…read moretwice. They drew little hearts and smiles on our cups, which honestly made my day. The place is spotless and wasn't crowded at all--mostly just local folks. Restrooms are gender-neutral and clean. There's plenty of outdoor seating and easy parking, which is always a plus. The drinks tasted like your usual Starbucks (I got a cold brew). The Egg Pesto Sandwich was delicious! They do charge 25 cents for the new compostable cups. 10/10 overall experience--and a big shoutout to the kind, thoughtful staff!

    How the mighty have fallen. This is our local Starbucks. During the summers, we visit dailiy…read more During school/work, we visit several times a week. Today, my wife & I had the worst Starbucks experience ever for simply asking a drink to be re-made. (My wife asked for it to be remade, not me. She is super nice and kind - it wasn't asked with any attidue whatsoever.) I won't get into the details here but will share it with the DM. The baristas on shift were Fernando, Brooke, and Eguardo. I opened a case with customer service and asked for the DM to contact me so I can describe the incident from a loyal, low-maintenance customer's perspective. In my 30+ years as an almost every day Starbucks customer, I've never opened a customer service case nor insisted to speak to a DM. So as much as it pains me, I'm going to give my local Starbucks 1-star. I'm leaving my previous 5-star review because at that time, it was well-earned. Today, the 1-star review is equally well-earned. P.S. I also have 255 Yelp check-ins at this location... not that I check-in every visit or it makes me any different a customer than every other Starbucks customer, but it does provide some context that as long-time regulars we have a good understanding of normal protocol and decorum.
