Cloud Cafe is a wonderful neighborhood café that feels warm, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. Located on Beacon Avenue just a short walk from the Beacon Hill Light Rail Station, it's an easy place to stop for lunch, coffee, or a casual meal. We tried the bánh mì, crispy fries, and a brown sugar boba, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The menu offers a nice variety of Vietnamese comfort food, along with burgers, drinks, and other café favorites, so there's something for just about everyone. What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. It's comfortable without being overly busy or formal, making it a great place to catch up with friends, enjoy a quiet meal, or simply relax for a while. If you're exploring Beacon Hill or live nearby, Cloud Cafe is definitely worth adding to your list. We had a great experience and look forward to coming back to try more of the menu. read more

Leaving yet ANOTHER review for this amazing place. (Read my previous review of Cloud Cafe for more details, but)......just GO. The gentleman who helped us tonight was super super kind; the customer service is just impeccable and heart warming, and the food is remarkable as always. I asked for extra cucumber and they really, really, really came through. Also, best fish sauce in town. Additionally, the crab Rangoon is crazy good; and somehow remains perfectly crispy, even when I've neglected it for 30+ minutes after arriving home. This has been true EVERY time I've purchased crab Rangoon here. Writing this here just to recommend, yet again (and passionately drive home the point) all the joys of this wonderful spot. If you needed a sign to go here, fellow readers, this is it!!! Absolutely lovely place, lovely people, and has been so incredibly consistent in the wonders of both taste and kindness. Cheers to Cloud Cafe, and I'm looking forward to coming back in the triple (and not just double) digits as far as how many times I've frequented. Thank you!!! See you all soon! read more

Come to Ballard and try next level breakfast food and pastries. Seriously the best breakfast burrito maybe In all of seattle. Breakfast sandwich is insanely good. Prices are VERY reasonable. Dionne the owner is hands-on and it shows. Every item on the menu is worth a try. Coffee is great too! read more

THE BIG: Located in the North Beacon Hill area of Seattle. Very cute and quaint vietnamese cafe. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I walked here from a friend's place and was excited to try their pork vermicelli bowl because the reviews said they were great. The Cafe is situated on the corner of Beacon ave and lander in this baby blue color theme. For food, we got the pork vermicelli and the chicken banh mi. To be honest, the chicken banh mi was underwhelming with shredded bland chicken and very soft bread. The vermicelli bowl was better with all the sauces but even then the flavors were lackluster. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall we spent around $21 for the two dishes. It was alright and I dont know if I would come back to try more of their items. Maybe their drinks? read more

Picked up a vermicelli bowl and a chicken bahn mi for lunch! Cloud cafe is located in a corner in North Beacon Hill. Inside is very open and airy. They serve pho, bahn mis and bubble teas. I thought the food was okay in my opinion. Bahn min was too much bread and chicken tasted alright. I thought the vermicelli bowl was filling, but overall okay in flavor. Service was quick, but next time I'll try the Pho. read more

Do you all really save that much money by not providing forks, even if they're plastic anymore?

Grabbed some boba, bao, and fresh rolls here. Everything was great! The server was very friendly and helpful. It's smaller but there's lots of little tables and you can order at the counter. read more

Noted as a "customer favorite" on door dash, for a decent price ($15) I decided to give it a try. I was craving Pad Thai but did explore other options, however there weren't many to choose from. It came in a Cloud Cafe tote bag which I was pleasantly surprised with. But first impression of the food was not looking like the traditional Pad Thai I'm used to ordering from other restaurants. It had good flavor but was pretty dry and lacking sauce. There were more vegetables than noodles, which included cabbage, carrots, onions, basil, green bell peppers, and two cilantro stems to garnish. The flavor from the basil and bell peppers definitely threw off the taste. I had asked for #2 spice level and it was not spicy at all. read more

I ordered the beef pho and the broth was very savory and delicious. If you like extra savory the satay broth is good.The people are very kind and took orders very well and accurate. Also the cloud lights are very cool and unique to the cloud vibe. read more

We arrived around 8:30 PM on a Monday night, close to their closing time (Google shows they close at 9 PM), but the staff was still very friendly. He kindly offered us water when we didn't want to order any of their drinks, as they were either alcoholic or caffeinated. The staff also promptly cleared our finished plates. We enjoyed the $2 off Banh Mi on Mondays and appreciated the clean environment. The Food Safety Rating was displayed as Excellent. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. Parking was easy to find in the nearby neighborhood. read more

Thai satay with traditional rare brisket pho bowl and and the lemon grass chicken vermicelli. Fantastic. I usually have more things to say in my food reviews but today I dont. I came in hungry and completely devoured my food. Added bonus that our food came out in less than 10 minutes. I usually add chilies and other things to my bowl but everything was perfectly flavored that I left no need to add anything We also ordered the chicken ban mih to go. It wasn't bad -- but ill likely focus my next orders on other items from the menu. read more

Very clean and bright pho parlor on Beacon Hill that's worth the stop if in the area. The portions are large and the food is all freshly made. The pho isn't too salty and everything is made to order. The service is friendly and attentive, even when busy. Aside from all else, the prices are reasonable by Seattle pho standards these days! read more

Finally got to try this place and it was cute and lovely. Open, airy and bright space, order at the counter with friendly staff, fresh well flavored food. The garlic chicken wings were crispy, salty perfection. The lemongrass flavoring for the vermicelli beef was fantastic. My son also had the pho but I forgot to photograph it - the broth especially was delicious. Great Beacon Hill addition. read more

I came here on a weekday around 6ish looking for some pho. I was able to order at the counter and get seats immediately. I've tried many pho places around town and Cloud Cafe definitely ranked up near the top! I got the traditional pho with rare beef and it was excellent. The broth was light but filling and the beef was super tender. Definitely stop by if you're in the Beacon Hill area. Also, there's a handful of parking spots in front of the restaurant so you may also get lucky with parking which is nice! read more

Came in on a rainy night and the traditional pho really hit the spot! Served as is, the noodles were a bit clumpy, but they separated easily enough in the hot broth. Another note: compared to pho places in Metro Van, all the toppings are portioned out already (unlike at home, where it's usually a plate on the side and you decide how much Thai basil, bean sprouts, etc. you want). I didn't mind this actually as I tend to overdo it with the bean sprouts, haha. I also got the mango green tea with boba/pearls. The tea was great -- exactly what I was craving! The pearls needed to be cooked longer though. They weren't chewy enough. Service was friendly and the bright atmosphere matched. If I lived in this neighbourhood, I think Cloud Cafe would be one of my regular spots! read more

This has been the most expensive pho I've ever paid for, but it's also the cleanest tasting pho I've had in a long time. Decided to try to place out after driving by it so many times the past month or two. It's a small little restaurant that has a bright and clean ambience. It's pretty quiet when there's only a couple customers, but when the house is packed... man, can it get loud. I felt like I had to start shouting once the dinner rush came in. So you order ahead at the counter and grab a table afterwards. The menu is fairly simple with appetizers, banh mi sandwiches, vermicelli bowls, pho, and drinks. Went with the pork belly baos as a starter and got the beef pho bowl. Pork belly bao had a small piece of meat in it and a slice of apple surprisingly. The sauce brought it all together and it was good. I don't think it's worth getting with the the small piece of meat that was in it. The beef pho was pretty good. Bean sprouts was already added to the bowl so there wasn't a side dish of veggies to add basil, bean sprouts, lime juice, or jalepenos to your liking. What's in the bowl is what you get I guess. I have to give props to the broth here. It was so clean and tasted wonderful. The amount of meat and noodles in the bowl felt like the right amount. It wasn't too little or too much of either. Very nice. The hoisin and sriracha sauces were available, but I didn't want to ruin the broth by adding them in. Even though the pho broth was good, I don't know if I want to pay such a hefty price for that again. I could probably get talked into it though haha! read more

Best chicken banh mi! Usually if I call ahead to order, it only takes 10 mins or so for them to prepare. The inside is clean and tidy

Love this spot! Quick, fresh, consistent, and easy! The flavors are fresh and on point. The staff is always receptive and courteous. The menu has fun things but keeps it basic and authentic and the prices are good for the quality and portions. A new fave, try the taro milk tea, you'll be hooked read more

Finally tried this restaurant tonight because we were lazy to cook and didn't want to go to our usual pho restaurant on MLK. We ordered two traditional pho noodles and the beef broth was clean and delicious without tasting oily. My husband ordered the chicken vermicelli bowl and thought the chicken tasted uniquely great despite using the traditional lemongrass and garlic for the flavoring. Overall, the food tasted fresh and delicious! We will come back again and try other dishes on their menu. Oh, we also have to praise the excellent customer service from the young gentleman who worked the cash register and waited on all the tables! Totally didn't expect such attentive service at this type of "cafe" (pouring water and giving us extra napkins without us asking). That definitely made it a full 5 star experience! -mom of two little kids. read more

Great food. Thai coffee was delicious, pho was spot on in flavor and always a good spot to stop or order for takeout.

Cute cafe but mediocre service and food. I didn't feel like going out so I placed an order online for pick up. The app said my food was ready. When I went to pick up my order, staff said it wasn't ready. They said they don't control or update the online status and jt would be another 45 mins. I ask to cancel my order and they said they can't but would rush my order. You can tell sit in customer had an impatient look on their eyes and customer getting told their bubble tea was out. 25 min after the app said my food available they handed me another customer order. I realized this once I was outside. Had to wait again. Over a hour after I had placed my order I was finally home. The noodle was soggy, the beef was not rare and I'm sure my pretty sure my extra noodle and beef was missed. Definitely was a disappointment after craving pho all evening. read more

I wish they offered more ingredients to add to my pho... it's pretty basic but definitely hit the spot cause I was surely hungry on this Sunday afternoon. The Vietnamese coffee was sure tasty though. read more

This place is too expensive for the quality and taste of food I have received Got it. When describing the taste, you might say something like: "The flavors of the pho combination and garlic wings fell short of expectations, as they lacked the vibrant and bold tastes typically associated with these dishes. The broth in the pho lacked depth, and the garlic wings were under-seasoned, resulting in a rather bland overall experience." NEVER COMING BACK. Idk how this place is in business. Because this place is a disgrace to Vietnamese food. read more

After a long weekend out, this combo pho soothed my soul. Compared to the popular pho bac, it's not as spice heavy, but the broth feels very clear and clean and not as oily or thick as some other pho broths I've had around the area. It's a simple pho that does the job. read more

The rice was a little mushy and there were too many peas for my liking. I probably wouldn't order it again, and would try something else. read more

Cloud Cafe is what Beacon Hill has been missing for many years - a pho shop! For OG Beacon Hillers, Cloud Cafe is in the old hair salon, Chop House, right across from El Centro. The owners are from Beacon Hill so it feels good supporting a legacy family and very local business. They have a smaller menu but I believe it's because they are still in their soft opening phase. Items are on the pricier side, but everything I tried was delicious. The pork belly bao is my favorite dish. It had a Granny Smith slice in it which was a unique and flavorful combo. The satay pho is also a highlight, slightly spicy but extremely flavorful. read more

The place was decent, customer service was adequate, and the food was "so-so" according to my hubby. I personally liked what I ordered, albeit the salt content was pretty high. What, you thought? Yeah, I was super thirsty after eating. You know, the unquenchable type of thirst. Mind you, I had a glass of water and ordered a boba drink, when I got home I still felt thirsty throughout the night. The 3 stars is for the taste, hmmm I'm kind of agreeing with my hubby that it should be a 2 star. Sorry, not really. The size of the pho is smaller compared to other pho places we've been. Please cut the salt content, recylce older drinking glass, and tidy up the place a bit more. read more

Surprisingly, the pho here is exceptional. I typically reserve that title for the hole in the wall restaurants where you are certain the food is amazing. Seems to be a fusion Asian restaurant but predominantly focuses on Vietnamese food. Such a close drive to my house and fulfills all my soup needs on those days you need something warm in your stomach. Small interior with semi complicated parking so I'd recommend finding a spot further into the residential area and walking over as it is on a busy street. You order first at the counter and then seat yourself. The first time we came here we LOVED our food. Brisket pho with added meats, and a pork lemongrass bánh mì which was to die for. The second time however, our bánh mì was cold- to the point where the fat in the sandwich was congealed and I could feel the cold meats as I was chewing. This was understandably disappointing because I don't expect cold food when I dine in. Haven't gone back since but if the consistency was there for me this would have easily been 5 stars across the board. read more
