I used to go there many times per week but at some point I realized that baristas are not looking at my orders. Hope they understand the difference between 1/4 syrup and full syrup. I threw away my coffee again today and this is my 3rd time experiencing this. So disappointing read more

Solid spot, there are definitely things about Cloud City that would make me want to return. The atmosphere is so cute and charming. Fairly easy to find parking and adorable neighborhood. Solid coffee. I ordered the quiche and it was really lacking. It's crustless, which they don't tell you, and it was dried out at the sides.. not the best. Also kind of hard to find a table. Overall, good experience and would return. read more

Visiting from out of town. Not a big review writer, BUT: coffee was fantastic (for snobs and non-snobs alike), breakfast sandwich was simple and done perfect (get the bacon), coconut bread is a showstopper. Fair prices -- not busy on a weekday morning. Sat outside for a little. Great balance of friendly, quality coffee bean and food. read more

Rude and ignorant employee gave me attitude which is a bummer cause I normally like this place. Then my breakfast sandwich order was wrong, missing cheese and bacon which never happens. Sesame latte was fantastic though. Hope the employees feel better next time! read more

The cold day called for a hot pick-me-up, but the mobile order I placed was set out in a cubby to be chilled by the cold outside air. I didn't receive a notification that the order was ready, so it sat there for who knows how long. I'm not a regular here so I didn't know that's where to find my order. To add to the bummer, the vanilla donut I ordered was subbed for a raspberry glazed chocolate donut. No attempt to let me know the kind I ordered was unavailable, so we just paid for a donut that went in the trash. The coconut bread was ok, but I wouldn't recommend this shop overall. read more

Cloud City Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent cafe. Stephanie, the manager and their staff always goes above and beyond with customer service, dietary needs, and product knowledge. I made a mistake ordering a beverage and ordered another one and they refunded me for the first order. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating to the needs of families and are very hard workers. My food is delicious and it's a great menu. I highly recommend Cloud City and supporting local. 10 stars. read more

Oh my word. Let me start by stating an opinion of mine: most flavored lattes are just fine. They are often too sweet for me, too synthetic, and the flavors often don't (to me) play well with the natural notes of coffee. It usually feels like it's masking it. Now for a fact: cloud city's black sesame latte is a flavored latte that compliments coffee, adds to its richness and is so so absolutely decadent. It's flavorful and creamy and I could probably drink one every day. The texture is fun, and you get such a big hit of sesame. Thanks for creating a flavored coffee drink just suited to my taste! Their baked goods and breakfast sandwiches are also amazing. Can't wait to go back, and thanks for the covid safe seating and whole situation read more

Simple professional work. Had an egg nog latte that was well-balanced, not too sweet- hard to pull off, but they did! read more

Very nice, loved it there a lot. I ordered a chai because cc recommended it and it tasted very nice. great service. i've been back a few times but haven't seen cc since. single? read more

Cloud City Coffee - bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pleasant, popular, welcoming local coffee shop and deli with sharp, attentive service and pretty good drinks and food. Traveling through town our group of six stopped by on a busy Sunday morning and had bagels with cream cheese, breakfast sandwiches (egg, cheddar, choice of sausage or bacon), coffee, a mocha, smoothies. Despite the crowd the items in our order were ready fairly quickly, and everyone was satisfied with their food. We were quickly back on the road and appreciated the staff's care with our order. It was easy to see why those who live in the neighborhood (Maple Leaf) appreciate Cloud City. It's the type of local coffee shop that gives a neighborhood personality and distinction. read more

Let me speak for the coffee - GET THE BLACK SESAME LATTE. The experience when using the Joe mobile ordering app was a little hit and miss. The coffees were ready far later than the app promised. The app said they were out of Oat milk and made me choose almond, but when I got to the shop to get my latte they said they no longer served almond milk and only had oat.... One of the drinks I ordered comes with Oat milk but the app still gave me the option to change the milk to Oat for an additional $1....It was kind of a mess. But perhaps that's just because the app just went through an update? In any case, the black sesame latte was fabulous. Not too sweet. Interesting flavor. Both drinks could have came out warmer, so I might make the leap to ordering them extra hot next time...they were kind of lukewarm at best. But TASTY. And the Golden Milk Latte was our other beverage - one of the best golden milk lattes I've ever had. 10/10 on drink flavor. 8/10 Barista kindess 6/10 Joe app experience (which I desperately hope improves because I love mobile ordering on my way to the shop!) read more

I just have to say Amazing! Bliss inducing coconut bread! Stopped in off I5 very early this morning after quick check for good coffee as we drove south (we don't do Starbucks, etc.) Your café was warm and inviting, staff friendly and made quick work of our order, 2 coffees, a breakfast sandwich and coconut bread of which I'm left wanting more of. It was delicate, moist, not to sweet and filled with chewy coconut and crunchy walnuts. Probably a good thing I live 2+ hours away. Please tell whomever made the bread they have a fan for life. read more

My vote for the best espresso beverages in Seattle! Velvety foam, proprietary beans, cheerful service and a wonderful selection of house made food offerings. The baristas take great pride in their bar skills. Highest recommendation in a coffee centric city. ~Will read more

First they messed up our order and then she said I will remake it. They then put us in as a regular order and we had to wait for all the other people ahead of us before we got our order. Customer service is important. We waited double the time for a mistake they made. Also when I asked if she knew when our order was coming the girl at the front acted slightly annoyed. They will need to step up the customer service if they don't want people to go to the new bakery right up the street. Steve reached out and was concerned with the experience and that says a lot to me. So that earns some stars. Thank you Steve. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab breakfast and a few sweet treats before a hike this past weekend. Their breakfast sandwich was great as usual, but I tried their new caramel apple bread and it simply was not good. So dry, and no caramel or apple flavors. I usually really like their sweet treats (esp cookies and coconut bread) but this was definitely a miss. Perhaps this was a bad batch but I recommend steering clear of this one. read more

I remembered a better Cloud City from years ago, but times do change. Or perhaps it was an off day. Stopped in for an afternoon coffee and snack. Their Specials board was full of intriguing sounding beverages, and I went with the Black Sesame Latte (back by popular demand!) and a piece of sundried tomato parmesan quiche. My husband ordered a matcha mocha-type drink and a cookie. He devoured his cookie and the rest of my quiche which I found very bland. Personally, I prefer a flakier quiche crust (and more flavor!). I would not order the quiche again. The matcha was much sweeter than expected, but I really liked the flavor of the black sesame latte. Both beverages were very chalky. Not sure if this is normal? It seemed like maybe they hadn't been mixed properly. Did not find chewing coffee to be very enjoyable, and I discarded my last sip as a choking hazard. Service was friendly. Lots of tables both inside and out (covered!). They also offer a lunch menu with a variety of sandwiches. Not on my list to hurry back to, but when in the neighborhood again I'd swing through and try the tofu banh mi and a plain ol' latte. read more

Cute little neighborhood cafe, they have lots of interesting drink options and cafe fare- I met up with a friend on a Saturday to get coffee and walk at the nearby Maple Leaf Park. I got a Golden Milk latte and a piece of their lemon poppyseed coffeecake. The drink was good and they gave me a generous slice of coffeecake, but it was super dry lol I think it had been in the case for a long time. It's entirely outdoor seating so dress for the weather- they have a semi enclosed area where you can wait for your order to come out, but mind the strips of plastic they have in the entrance as a wind break because they're heavier than they look and almost slapped our coffees out our hands lol read more

Stopped by for a quick pick me up at 11:30 on a Tuesday. Never been before but the reviews looked solid. In the showcase there were a variety of pastry/ baked goods and the menu carried a variety of sandwiches (which smelled amazing, but I didn't try). I quickly ordered their maple leaf latte (iced) as there wasn't anyone in line in front of me. I stepped outside to the sidewalk and noticed 3-4 people waiting as well. Being my first time here I didn't order in advance but noticed that a lot of people probably did. Drink after drink was made , and I ended up waiting over 20 minutes for my latte. Makes me wonder... if business is so good, why only one machine/ barista? read more

Deliciously crafted coffee drinks, friendly service and limited parking! I do appreciate the outdoor seating too!

My wife took the first sip of her latte this morning and proclaimed "ELIXIR OF THE GODS! How is their coffee so good!?" Needless to say, we're at Cloud City often with our bacon bfast sammies, and latte/ golden milks in hand. 100/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

Extremely tasty food and baked goods! Homemade and fresh daily! Creative recipes like pear cardamom muffins (not always in stock - I WISH!) They have a drip coffee self serve station if you're in a hurry and if you can pay cash! Great coffee, chai and tea! This place is OFTEN very busy and OFTEN filled with families with young kids. The busyness, noise level, and lack of easy parking are the only bummers about this place. I always look forward to what they have in their pastry cases and would come a lot more often if parking wasn't sometimes difficult. read more

absolutely a lovely neighborhood coffee shop. It gets really busy around lunch time. The baristas are friendly and helpful. Last but not least their Ethiopian brew coffee is the best! read more

Absolutely the best coffee and egg mc muffins with bacon the bourbon doughnuts ? What the berry doughnuts are the bomb! I wish they would make a bourbon donuts or a spice doughnuts but the bacon is absolutely one of kind i highly recommend this place read more

Cloud City Coffee - Getting coffee after cypress hill - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

They make most of their food in house, and it's all so good! Lots of vegan options, love the vegan donuts, muffins, breads, chia pudding, and tofu bahn mi (with a delicious sauce and marinated tofu). Go early if you want something specific, they do sell out sometimes! The service is great too, people are really nice, glad to have this coffee shop close by. read more

Drip coffee (yay, they have dark roast) = 4 stars! Chocolate raspberry scone = 4 stars! Vegan maple donut = 5 stars! Vegan vanilla donut = 5 stars! Coffee cake = 4 stars (when moist and iced) Maple coffee cake = 2 stars (too dry and dense). Pumpkin scone = 2 stars (too charred). Order for pickup (yay, you can order ahead via Joe!) read more

My husband and I were in the area and wanted stop for a cup of coffee. I Yelp the best coffee shops in the area and Cloud City Coffee popped up and did not disappoint. It's nestled in neighborhood off of Roosevelt Way in North Seattle. They have their own blend of coffee beans they sell along with breakfast sandwiches, pies, pastries and various quiches. We ordered vanilla latte and a turkey club wrap and the coffee and wrap were delicious. I highly recommend stopping by if you in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've gone to this place for years but they've gotten lazy with orders & getting things wrong. Several times I've ordered/paid for a whole sandwich and was only given half. I've let this go on multiple occasions but this morning was hands down the worst experience and I will not be coming back here. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant with egg, cheese, & avocado. I was given a croissant that was falling apart in the bag, unmelted cheese slices, and no egg. When I asked for it to be re-made, I was offered a refund but no consolation for having my order messed up or any attempt to re-make it. I would honestly save yourself the time of coming here. At best you're waiting 15 minutes in a to-go line for something that may or may not be the correct order and no attempts from the staff to fix their mistake. read more

I just had the worst espresso ever. 4 shots and a healthy tip. Perhaps she doesn't like senior citizens with magnificent beards. It had to be intentional. Perhaps she thought I was a derelict. If so, she missed my $1000+ rain kit and $6000+ bike. I'm a professional bicycle mechanic who was returning from visiting my friend just home from prostate surgery. Cold, wet; just looking for my standard shots of coffee. Shame on you for judging. One sip and I had to toss it. read more

Cloud City Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The drinks at Cloud City are solid across the board. In particular, they have one of my favorite chai lattes in the city (aside from Cafe Floret at Sea-Tac, but it looks like I won't be there for a while because of the pandemic). They also have a drink in the autumn called the Chaider--a nice mix of chai and apple cider that is delicious and unique. Right now they are running to go orders out of the side of the cafe with a limited menu, but they do still have their famous coconut bread, which at first seems dry, but actually tastes moist with great and not-too-sweet coconut flavor. Happy to have this place in the neighborhood! read more

The boy and I are SO excited to finally have a good coffee shop within walking distance to us. We had just moved into the area over the weekend and with our lack of organization/unpacking, we literally had nothing to cook with. In our haze of sleepiness and hunger, we walked over to Cloud City in the morning for some food and caffeine. It was busy and packed with people. They have a cute outdoor seating area too. Limited parking in their lot, but with the neighborhoods around, it's not too bad especially within a couple of blocks. They have a lot of food options! And they all looked good. Quiches, Breakfast sandwiches, regular lunch sandwiches, and a ton of baked goods (muffins, donuts, cookies, pie, etc). The cashier wasn't that friendly, but it won't deter us from coming back. We got two breakfast sandwiches (#2: Sausage, cheese, and egg), a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, a 16 oz coffee, and a small london fog. I was tempted to order a donut/banana bread/about a billion other things as well. The London Fog came out pretty quickly (regular coffee was self service). The food came out a little later. I liked that they wrapped them in aluminium to keep it all warm. We walked back the 6ish blocks to our place to eat. The food was really good. I loved the sausage, it was very flavorful. The sandwich altogether was delicious. The everything bagel was tasty. They load up that thing with cream cheese too! I kept stealing bites of it from my boyfriend, who was doublefisting the bagel as well as a breakfast sandwich. My London Fog was done well! It was piping hot, creamy, and had the perfect hint of sweetness to it. We have already been back to try some of their baked goods as well. The blackberry lime pie was a bit too tart and could have used some more sugar in my opinion (unless tartness is your thing!) and the Mexican chocolate bread pudding which I really enjoyed. Now that we live so close, I guarantee you that a lot of our money will be spent here. A good neighborhood coffee shop that I absolutely love living near now! read more

Cloud City Coffee - Breakfast sandwiches are delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Used to come to this place all the time, for years and years. Now, it's become a machine; a cold place where they pump out drinks and won't even make eye contact. Good coffee and food but a brutal lack of kindness. I recently brought in a couple of my students who had written letters to Cloud City (students from my class wrote letters to all of the businesses in Maple Leaf as we were learning about our community and how it functions). We walked all the way there and the two students bravely handed their letters over the counter, only to have the staff member take them out of their hands, say 'okay' and then turn around and walk away. Used to be a place where the folks knew my name and greeted me with a smile, now it's like an amazon warehouse that serves coffee. read more

Neighborhood go to café. Love their coffee, pastry, and sandwiches. The crew is friendly, the place well kept, and the service is quite efficient. Love that they have outdoor seating area where you can take your beloved pets (‍‍). Drop by and enjoy a cup (venti, will do) of coffee. read more

I smell like I work in the kitchen all day..... Very busy close to noon time when I visited the first time. Older building and interior, definitely a neighborhood hangout place. I can see that most patrons are local. Food offerings seems good, but I tried regular drip coffee that's stored in thermo dispenser, disappointed that it tasted Watery and acidic, both medium roast and the dark. Not good. Most of all, I can't stand the smoky greasy smell that's clouded the whole place that's taking over my clothes.... I'm gonna smell like I worked in a kitchen all day!!! Really not good, wouldn't come here again. read more

The breakfast sandwiches are very good! They are the perfect size and go great with an americano.

Great baked goods , salads, sandwiches and strong coffee. Friendly, many regulars return daily

I had their Cold brew ice coffee black and it was really smooth satisfying. We also got the Ube Latte which was delicious. Wife is normally not a coffee person and even she liked it. Not too sweet with a hint of Ube flavor read more

Some of the best coffee I've ever had. Great bakery items as well. The employees were very kind and I loved the vibe inside.

I wanted to like this place so much. Super cute spot and was pretty crowded on a Sunday afternoon when I walked by with my dog. They don't allow dogs inside, and there wasn't a great spot I could tie mine up outside and still keep an eye on him. I didn't know they had mobile order set up, so I ended up going home. I came back an hour later without my dog and we got a pumpkin spice latte, chai latte, BLT, and Turkey Club as a sandwich instead of a wrap. This place is expensive! $15 for each of these sandwiches is pretty steep and they were just okay. I was bummed my sandwich wasn't on sourdough like I was offered and also that it wasn't toasted (I assumed it would be). The BLT didn't have enough mayo on it and was pretty dry. It was probably worth $10-12 at the absolute most. It was also pretty small. The bacon was good. Drinks were just okay as well. Not very strong and very milk forward. They also don't have almond milk which was odd. Maybe a nut free facility? For about $50 after tip, I could have gotten much better food in larger quantities. I probably won't be coming back. read more

It hurts a little bit to give them three stars. Why, their food is good and the servers/barristas and staff are super nice. It's also a great place to go with little kids having a space to hang out. Well then why, why would I go three stars. Well, the noise, the lack of organization. the food is good, not great. Meh.. .it's all okay. read more

I've been coming to Cloud City for years and the staff has always been welcoming. At this time, they're only serving to-go but there is outdoor seating on the patio. They're one of the few coffee shops in Seattle that has a full kitchen providing home cooked food and pastries. Their locally roasted espresso is among the best with less bitter aftertaste. They also carry some vegetarian and vegan items. I recommend the Vietnamese sandwich with marinated tofu, fresh cucumber and basil mayo. You also get a choice of sides. I tried the kale slaw which is much better than it sounds! They also serve fresh fruit smoothies, breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos (grilled, not steamed), soups, sandwiches, fresh baked pies, cookies and vegan brownies. My only disappointment are the muffins which are too sweet for my taste. If they removed the sugar topping, they'd be perfect. read more
