Breakfast burrito
Vy N.

I literally love this place. Whenever I'm back home I make it a point to come here and get a breakfast burrito. It's amazing every time. Tried to do work here the other day, it gets pretty loud so I wouldn't recommend but the people are friendly!

Cute little cafe. I wouldn't say it is my new go-to or anything, but I was excited to try it and enjoyed my meal there. Our meal took about 15-20 minutes to get to us, and there was a good amount of seating both inside and outside. It can get a little busy though depending on when you come in and can be hard to find seating. I got the overnight oats which was a decent portion but wasn't very flavorful or sweet. I liked the granola and the fresh fruit on top, but overall the oats themselves weren't as sweet as I would have hoped. But the breakfast burrito was good, and the staff were very friendly. This is clearly a popular cafe as there was a line out the door when we arrive on a Wednesday morning. I do like their commitment to quality coffee beans, but I did not opt to try one of their drinks this visit. Overall a cute place for a little trip, not sure if I am personally going to add this place to my daily rotation but it's was a fun place to try something new. The food quality is great, staff are friendly, and the vibe of the cafe is definitely giving local hangout.

Green goddess eggs

Incredible coffee shop not too far from the beach. Spent a weekend in Santa Cruz and stopped at multiple locations. Made sure to come to this one to try their green goddess eggs from a recommendation. One of the best breakfast dishes I've ever had. Outdoor seating was really cute and the services very quick

Breakfast Burrito

When you have the best coffee and breakfast burrito in town it's like a double rainbow! So beautiful! It makes a small tear come to one's eye. Thank you for being awesome. This is definitely the busiest location of the 4 locations they have in Santa Cruz but it makes sense since this is the only location that serves THE breakfast burrito of all breakfast burritos! I noticed that they changed their potatoes to little potato cubes. I do not know why they made the change but the burrito was made so fast compared to in the past when you would have to wait a little bit if you ordered the breakfast burrito. I also noticed they made the burrito bigger which is nice since they have raised the price of the burrito over the years. Request for improvement: Put umbrellas outside at the tables. For us pale people who are allergic to the sun it's nice to get the outdoor air without having to put on sunscreen.

Look I'm literally in San Jose but I will jump the mountain and get on Highway 17 and drive that twisty road just to have a nice cup of coffee and breakfast here since it's so close to the ocean it's a no-brainer for me. It was a hot day and on this trip I got an iced chai which was divine. I've had creamy beige before and that is also an amazing drink. There's never been a drink here that I didn't love, so basically I love everything here. I got the granola Bowl because I came around 11:30 a.m. and I was still feeling hungry and snacky and it was the perfect snack brunch item for me at that time. Service is truly amazing here everyone here really cares about your experience and it's such a good vibe as well the Ambiance is totally giving cozy Cafe next to the ocean because that's literally what it really is. Give them a try, you'll love it! Support local coffee spots!

I've been here so many times that I can't believe I haven't written a review yet haha. The breakfast burrito is fantastic -- fried potatoes, eggs, bacon, and crispy to perfection. I drive here from San Jose for this. The coffee is solid too. I've tried the vanilla latte, mocha, and dirty chai and no complaints from me. Some nice indoor and outdoors seating. The murals on the inside are really pretty too. They're generally pretty fast with the orders, food takes a bit longer. It gets hella busy, esp on weekends, so finding a table is all chance!

Looking for great coffee in Santa Cruz? This spot is worth checking out. They offer lots of flavor options, the coffee is freshly brewed, and the staff is super friendly. There's great indoor and outdoor seating, plus a few tasty food items on the menu to round out your visit.

Green goodness
Kristina P.

LOVE LOVE LOVED our visit to Cat & Cloud this morning. Extremely welcoming and friendly when they greet and serve you. Plenty of seating (but it does get busy on the weekends) inside and outside. It really is such a cute little coffee shop/small cafe. Food-- we tried the green goodness. Appropriately named. It is a plate full of delicious, yummy goodness. All the flavors were delicious together, and while very filling, it did not feel heavy at all. Such a delicious, underrated breakfast. My daughter ordered the avocado toast and loved it. Yogurt and granola was also amazing. They make their own seasonal compote and it was topped with spiced nuts. I would definitely get it again. If you're a matcha lover, the strawberry matcha is a MUST. It looks like they make their own sweeteners for coffee/tea drinks. I can't wait to go back. Don't sleep on this. It really is that good.

Tasty spot with good coffee, I've heard a great breakfast burrito, and lots of folks to enjoy it! Service was very good - seating filled up but plenty of options inside & outside. Also, give Megan a raise!!! She made sure everyone felt loved & taken care of, made convo with everyone, & made several customers' experiences brighter.

Staff was awesome even tho they were busy. Tried a few different things. First I'll stay with the donuts, they were actually really good! The breakfast burrito is a great simple burrito. Not pictured was an iced mocha, super smooth espresso but a little too sweet. Next time I'll get it less sweet and it will be perfect. Also tried a shot of their espresso straight and it was bright with a lot of character. Wife liked her chai latte however also a little too sweet. But overall the espresso is some of the best we've had. It's the only bean I use at home and half we made the drive to see the shop in person! Lots of seating inside and out. Worth the stop!

I came here because my friends said it was the best breakfast burrito they've ever had, and they were not wrong! The eggs were so fluffy, and the bacon was crunchy and thick with a distinct smoky flavor. There were no onions or bell peppers in the burrito, but that was a good choice because it prevented the burrito from getting soggy. Instead, the avocado salsa on the side added the perfect freshness.

We heard some good things about Cat and Cloud and was excited to try as a family. The space is so cute and spacious. I love the artwork and they even have the cutest merch. My kids were naturally drawn to the donuts and baked goods. We got an oreo donut and it was yummy! But I was really there for the breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint. The crispy potatoes were the best part! I'd probably skip the cilantro next time (just my own preference), but overall, it was super satisfying. Theres also a chipotle sauce on the side that adds a hint of spice and cholula available when dining in. To drink, I got the Strawberry Matcha and it had just enough sweetness - definitely recommend! Restaurant was pretty kid friendly with long bench seating. We'll definitely be back!

Avocado toast - could have used more seasoning
Molly L.

We cake here on a weekend morning bordering lunch and it was pretty wild. There were dozens of people placing orders and hardly any lulls. Needless to say it took us about 25 minutes to get our food, and it's just more hectic than I would like. They call our names for coffee but if you're trying to save a table outside, there's no way to hear them call out your name, which isn't great. We ordered a latte, breakfast burrito, and avocado toast. My partner enjoyed his oat milk latte. And we both liked the breakfast burrito but my complaint about it is that there was egg only on one half of the burrito. The other half had mainly potatoes and so it was not great to split. There was also not enough salsa, which I think the burrito was bland without. They are also not the best with their labeling. The two people next to us had one veggie burrito and one normal burrito with bacon. The one with veggie labeled on it actually had bacon, and they were flustered not knowing which burrito had what, also because the bacon was buried in the one that did have meat -- so the same problem with the burrito's contents not being evenly distributed. The avocado toast was a little more on the lemony side and could have used more seasoning and flavor. The bread was moist and delicious. For what we paid for and got, I think their coffee shop is pretty average. Not the best place to study or do anything quiet though given the hecticness. You order at the front and take a number and they will bring the food to you. There's street parking and a back parking lot if you drive past the coffee shop and a few other shops nearby. There are also two sinks bathrooms and a communal sink in the main room.

The location is unique, set behind a church, which gives it a quieter, slightly off-the-beaten-path feel. It's a great stop if you're walking from nearby hotels or just exploring the area. The space itself is cozy with a relaxed, peaceful vibe. There's indoor seating, and on a nice day the patio is a great option. It's not a huge shop, but there's enough seating to sit and enjoy your drink. Drinks were really well done, my favorite was Our Frother. Everything tasted balanced and thoughtfully made. The atmosphere feels calm and welcoming, perfect for a slow morning coffee. Overall, a charming little spot with great coffee and a unique setting. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Santa Cruz.

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!!

Stopped here for breakfast and coffee, bagel sandwiches are soooo big! Definitely worth the $…read moreWorkers were very sweet, order came out quick! Can't wait to go back!
