This is the first coffee shop I've tried in a very long time that has good coffee. A lot of the shops nowadays focus so much on things like the milk and syrups and not necessarily the bean itself so I was so happy to find this place. It'll now be a must every time we're in the area.

The service wasn't good - they took my order having a parallel conversation with someone else and forgot about the croissant in the oven I ordered. After being in the oven covered by foil for too long it looked like a wet cloth. No restroom, all parking in front was occupied.

We appreciated this corner coffee shop and the vibes. We even came back the next day just for Donnie Darko - if you enjoy iced coffee this is it! One of the cons of this drink is it comes only in one size; apparently a specific formula or proportion of ingredients. Would come back to this town just for this amazing coffee!

Definitely a bit dingier and…read moredarker than most coffeeshops, with some concerns about cleanliness - tables were sticky and there was food and crumbs on the floor around my chair before I sat down. Coffee and pastries are decent, although the pastries are priced pretty expensive. Lots of activism and messaging by the coffeeshop, which can be a plus or minus depending on your proclivities.

As we got off the freeway, she looked up and there was a coffee shop right down the street. He stopped in here for a quick bite. The two barista is helping us were incredibly helpful and patient since we had to read everything on the menu. I also loved how their store was set up and they sold local arts and crafts from the community! I love the community aspect here in Santa Cruz County! Perhaps she misread the menu, but she thought "egg stacker" was a sandwich because it was under the "bagel sandwich "category. But under the description, it does not say there's any bread. Lol, which is better for us since we're trying to be gluten-free for the day. I had an ice green tea and a salmon egg which was delicious and filling perfectly made egg with the right amount of capers and seasoning for each bite to have enough flavor on it. The green tea was perfect since it was 92°! I can't wait till we get to the beach! I was sad. They didn't have any nitro coffee, but I will definitely come back to try more pastries since it seems like they were out but then again we got there about 30 minutes before they closed. Lol.

I always get excited with the change in seasons because of their seasonal drink menu is unmatched - the drinks are fun and creative but most importantly TASTE DELICIOUS. They manage to make their mochas and seasonal drinks very coffee forward and not too sweet while keeping a nice whimsical charm about them. The interior feels so homey and inviting. There is a nice hustle and bustle during the morning time but still chill enough to read or get work done. I love coming to Zizzos! Suggestions from a loyal, Zizzos fan: - The paper cups get very soggy after like 30 minutes. I had an iced drink and it felt like the paper cup was about to gave in! Luckily it didn't but I had to be careful when picking it up to take a drink because it a firm grasp would have destroyed it :) but the drink was DELICIOUS!

Super tiny cafe in downtown Santa Cruz that's hidden but a pretty good find! Something I found…read more interesting is that what makes their coffee fun and unique is not necessarily fancy cold foams or syrups that they add (but they do have yummy sounding house made syrups), but more of the spices that they add to the espresso! I ordered the Otter Latte and I thought that the addition of spices like cinnamon and cardamom to the espresso was super delicious! The inside is a little small so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go type place, but I think it's cute and a fun hidden gem in downtown. While I didn't try any of their food, they seemed to have some interesting food options available as well. Super cute place and I can see me coming back here to get a simply but delicious coffee.

This place has great food and people are attentive to detail. The coffee has a really unique taste. It doesn't taste so dark and so like cooked like other places do it's it's got a really nice smooth flavor. I hope everybody will try it. Also the names of your coffee the food the atmosphere. It makes it really fun. I know that it's a small shop it probably only seats maybe 25 people inside and outside but what a great experience. I've been there four times now in the last two weeks and I've brought a lot of my friends. I continue to look forward to coming. Thank you so much for your attention to detail. Please keep up the good work. The only change I would make is to ad hair nets to those preparing the food but a lot of places don't have this so that's just me. when you are there, be sure to say hi to someone in line to find out how long they've been going to the coffee shop what they think what the best things are and post it because I would love to know which of the many coffee flavors and food items are the best tasting thanks

At the moment, any espresso drink in general works but their seasonal drinks do look interesting. A quick stop here while I was in SC and checking this food hall out. Cat & Cloud is a small cafe with friendly staff that makes great coffee (then again it's the only one in this little food hall) so you'll get your great coffee fix here and enjoy your meal as well. They have a few pastries but I didn't get a chance to try them so if I'm ever back in the area, I'll give them a try and also curious to try their holiday drinks too.

The main flavor came from the cashew and date toppings. We also ordered their breakfast burrito which wasn't all that good either. Also something to note, from what I can tell their items like the breakfast burritos are premade which I wasn't really a huge fan of. I can't speak for their specialty coffees but I don't think I would come back here for the food. There is also a little bit of a limited seating for indoors, but a good amount of seating outside. Staff were really nice though and clearly like what they do.
