Cozy, intimate cafe that is staffed with polite workers and a passionate owner. The restaurant provides clean interior and exterior seating that was extremely well-kept. I ordeded the cache creek caliente panini for $15.16. It was a sizeable sandwich that was accompanied by a small serving of potato salad and cucumbers. The ingredients tasted so incredibly fresh and cohesive! I was surprised by how tasty and filling the sandwich was, as I ended up taking home leftovers -- despite my appetite. The only downside to this cafe is that it isn't conducive to studying online! The connectivity in the area was quite poor, but does not take away from this cute, cozy cafe! read more

This is such a nice little spot for a Saturday breakfast! It has a really welcoming vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating options. We wanted something light and fresh for breakfast, so heres what we ordered: * Spring Mix Quinoa: It's a bed of spring salad mix with quinoa and fresh sliced avocados. It was incredibly refreshing and delicious. The dressing wasn't too heavy or overpowering, but it tied the whole bowl together perfectly. * Berry Mix Yogurt & Granola Bowl: Simple, but done right. the berries were super fresh & I loved that the granola mix had walnuts in it The service was quick and friendly, which made our experience great. If you are looking for a nice breakfast spot in Davis this is the place to go. read more

A DELICIOUS cup of hot cocoa. Perfectly hit the spot. Quite literally the best hot chocolate ever. I got one that came only in a small size, it's very very rich but absurdly smooth and oh so good. I don't know how they made it but it's what I would expect a chocolate in Paris to taste like. I am so glad I went! Definitely a more iffy part of town, I didn't feel safe walking by myself at night- not easy parking but part of the journey getting to hidden gems! read more

This was my first time here and the food was good! Between my friend and I, we got the matcha latte and the caramel macchiato, and the avo toast and the banana almond butter toast. The avo toast was good but our orders were nothing too special. The drinks were also ok! Service was lovely and food came out really fast. I also really enjoyed the separation of spaces for conversations and working locations. The cafe was very chill and is a great place to catch up with some friends. read more

There are utensils placed on each plate, and a small container with a label is visible on the table. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

The cloud cafe is super cute! The workers are the kindest people on the planet!! The paninis are good, but nothing is write home about. The summer coffee - honey latte is soooo good, but the machiato was just ok! I'd recommend trying it out for sure, but sticking to the beverages! read more

Friendly staff and quaint cafe. Mostly vegetarian choices on menu of salads and sandwiches. Enjoyed fresh mozzarella and red pepper sandwich with lettuce on ciabatta with scoop of potato salad. Celebrated an early Mother's Day with my eldest who attends UCD. Can't wait to return again. Thank you for a wonderful meal. read more

Let me first say, how much I loved their customer service here. It felt like a local spot where the baristas made conversations that are not quick "how's your day going." As for the food? My husband and I made a mistake of order 2 brie and fig sandwiches (bacon & turkey) thinking we could finish it in one sitting! It was so delicious and so so filling. The fig was a bit sweet but I would still go back for this. We wanted to see which one we prefer by taking half and I definitely recommend the turkey one. This place does not have any wifi and since this is in Davis I felt that it was perfect since college life is a go go go. This place felt like it's where you slow down time and be in the moment. Looking around it was nothing but conversations. Such an amazing ambiance for catching up. read more

Their drinks and some of their paninis are ok, but their breakfast panini with bacon is amazing! Probably one of the best breakfast items I've had in Davis and it's the reason I come back to this cafe. Only downside is that they stop selling it at 11:30 :( The people who work at the cafe are very nice and I love the cozy vibe the cafe has! read more

The owner is an asshole! The owner will refuse to serve you in an actual ceramic cup if it's within a half hour of closing time. Everything is is extremely overpriced and the quality is horrible. read more

I think they remodeled? not too confident but super cute cafe, I appreciate the section they have where you aren't allowed to sit with laptops/ipads and are only meant to be used for dining and conversing (bring back cafes where you just sit and talk !!!). Pink lady juice was delicious! read more

I walk in, immediately theres no room for me to stand. I see fake greenery, an overhead menu with very little and of that little hardly anything enticing, and a nearly empty pastry case. But oh in that pastry case do I spot something that couldn't let me leave just then and there: cocoa powdered marscapone filled sliced beautifully layered Tiramisu pan. Trudge my way into this mid cafe dodging all of the uneccesary decor and fake seating that makes it impossible to find where the line to order begins or ends. My bottom is right beside some poor girls table and cold panini for an excruciating amount of time. Where are we meant to stand? Where are they meant to sit? No good answer for the either of us. I reach the counter I say Tiramisu that's it thank you so much I'll pay with card? 8 DOLLARS Ok whatever I pay I move I wait with my bottom by some other poor man's face and subsequent panini. Waiting for maybe 10 minutes? Guys !!!! It's right there !!!! just hand me a slice and I'm out of here. Anyway. My buzzer (Why did I have that also ) Buzzes and I am handed a large af brown takeout box. Jostle my way out of there with the box and open up to find a ridiculously small slice, kind of moshed around and a little ruined by the turbulence (something a smaller container would have mitigated...) and a tirimisu covered spoon. Whatever. With that aforementioned wooden spoon covered in tiramisu and now my hands covered in tiramisu I scrape the sides of that egregiously spacious box for a bite and Ohhh all I taste is that wood spoon and MID tiramisu. Whatever. Heard their paninis suck too but that's none of my buisness read more

We are always greeted like old friends by the fabulous owner! The food is beyond excellent. My personal favorites

Still loving their sandwiches after all these years. Now our kids love them too. We always make a point to stop here to get the delicious sandwiches and fresh squeezed OJ. read more

Cloud forest is my go to place to grab a quick bite to eat with my friends. I absolutely love coming here! The owner is very welcoming and happy to see all of his customers. The staff are equally as kind. I usually order the savory Panini and it never lets me down. There's a great selection of sandwiches, pastries, and drinks. It's never too busy here and there is a good amount of seats indoors and outdoors as well. The vibe is very calm and relaxing in a perfect place to spend your morning. read more

The gentlemen at the front register was so nice! I had a honey matcha with almond milk and it was delicious. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

Service is rude and unaccommodating. Have eaten here multiple times. While all employees have been respectful, the owner is mercurial, sometimes sappy friendly and other times completely rude. The owner is a really grumpy and tight-ass old man. We like the food, but we get consistently rude service by the owner himself. read more

Their food is stupendous! This was our third time eating there. I freaking love the Brie sandwich. Their food feels and tastes healthy but filling. I love the interior's decorative features. They have many pieces of art on display and for sale. Overall a friendly gem that we will be returning to shortly. read more

Food was great. Got the panini's that were recommended to me by the very sweet cashier. The chai latte was alright but a little two sweet and not enough chai. White mocha was also just alright. Outside seating was also super cute and had a good amount of space. Overall good food alright drinks. Only issue is there was a very unfriendly barista who was not very helpful or kind when i asked to fix my drink. She could definitely be a little kinder and work on her customer service. read more

Food was amazing and staff were extremely nice. One of my new favorite cafes. Did not have to wait too long. We also got their lattes and those were amazing...had to order another. read more

The place is generally nice with good coffee and drinks. However, I don't really recommend eating here as the food is very expensive with little payoff. I paid $14 for avocado toast with egg and got a single piece of regular sandwich bread with an off-tasting avocado. I was frustrated as I felt like I could've made it at home for less than half the price. I didn't end up finishing the toast and just sorta left disappointed. read more

Best coffee in Davis, hands down. The food is yummy, but a little pricey for what you get in my opinion. I love that they purposefully create a laptop free section. It feels like an actual cafe and not just a big study room like other cafes in Davis. The planes and art create a nice ambiance and I love the hand crafted ceramics they serve food with. Service has always been speedy and friendly. read more

I should have listened to the negative reviews about the grumpy man who works here. I felt very unwelcome just with his attitude and gestures. I take it he didn't like that i walked in with my umbrella, which was hardly even wet, def wouldn't drip. He was nicer to most of the people who came in after me. I got the valley veggie panini, vegan option (for the cheese). If the food were good, it would have at least helped redeem my visit but the panini was fairly tasteless. Definitely not worth $13 plus tax and tip. The cafe itself does look and feel nice but it's undone by the grumpy owner. He was also very clear that if I had a laptop to use, which I didn't, that I could only sit in the front section. read more

The cloud forest panini and honey matcha are SO GOOD. I have had their chocolate sweet toast in the past as well and very much enjoyed that too. Service is welcoming.

This place is a gem in Davis! It has beautiful wood tables, plants, and they serve lattes in hand crafted pottery. You can also buy local art and they have delicious breakfast and sandwiches.

Wow! The worst experience my family and I had today. Our first and also our last with this place. I thought it was a good place to bring my family for brunch, but we left with a nasty experience thanks to the owner(older Asian dude) treating his own kind badly. I witnessed the owner himself bringing menu, drinks and food for other tables, but we had to wait our own table from the beginning to the end. He was mostly pleasant with other customers and never even smiled at us even though we were his customers too. When we were done, the waitress came and asked if she could take our dishes for us, but then as we were we all leaving, the damn owner himself stopped my daughter and told her to clean the rest of the table . I was shocked that the owner was asking my girl to pickup after herself when he didn't ask other customers to pickup after themselves. Not to mention, after we ordered our food, I overheard the Asian man ask the waitress who took our order "No drinks?" If you only want customers to order drinks, make your menu consist only of drinks. The food was definitely not worth this experience and I would not recommend coming here. read more

The food was okay. What wasn't okay was the way my family and I were treated the second we walked into this restaurant. We were offered menus and chose to sit at a table while deciding what to order. All the while I noticed who I presume to be the owner, a short Asian man, attentively handing menus to and serving food/drinks to tables around us. He walked by our table numerous times without as much of a glance. When our food was finally ready, we went up to the counter ourselves to get it. Finally as we were getting ready to leave, one of the waitresses came up to our table and took away some of our dishes. After that, I thought they would clean everything else as well, so my family got up to leave. As I was leaving, the Asian man stopped me and told me to bust my own table and that they weren't responsible for that. I tried to tell him the other worker had taken some of our dishes already, but he wouldn't even listen to me. Since it was my first time coming to this restaurant, I'm not sure what the "normal" form of service is, and my issue isn't at all with the idea that I had to clear my own table. My problem is that these policies seem to only apply to certain groups at this establishment. As an Asian, I really hadn't expected this kind of treatment from another Asian. Make your policies clear, treat your customers equally, and stop fostering such a negative environment. Definitely left this experience extremely disappointed since I had been wanting to try this cafe for a while. read more

I visited the cloud forest cafe after leaving a popular brunch place with a 50 minute wait! Not only does cloud forest have a beautiful and comfy aesthetic, the food is bussin! I got the cloud forest panini with a lavender latte + oatmilk. The ciabatta bread tastes homemade, with a delightful crunch when you bite into it! The ingredients were all super fresh and blended well together! I think mine had pesto, arugula, turkey, cheese, and maybe onion! My friend got the veggie panini which came with a ton of yummy looking veggies and it looked just as good as mine imo. I love how the drinks come in huge, handcrafted mugs! Made the whole experience more cozy! Will definitely be back to work on my laptop and enjoy more yummy treats! read more

Like every other comment said the older shorter man that works here is incredibly rude. I never leave reviews but I felt I had to in this situation. My friend and I came here to study but felt unwelcomed since the beginning. We arrived here at 1pm and knew they closed at 3pm but in the last 30 min the man continued to clean around us and left the cleaning spray and towel on our table. With 10 mins left before closing he told us we needed to leave and said rudely we are closed and made a big x with his hands and pointed to the door for us to leave. I told him we still had 10 mins left till closing but he stated they needed to clean. I'm sorry but if you want to leave earlier then close earlier do not kick customers out! I continued to let him know he was being incredibly rude and he proceeded to walk to a back room. I am usually an understanding person but I have never been treated so poorly at a cafe. Also he purposely puts covers on outlets in the "computer zone" so students don't stay long, not sure how he doesn't like catering to students in a college town. Please do not give this greedy old man your money!! read more

I can't believe it took me 3 years in Davis to visit this place! The coffee is amazing, the food is delicious, fresh, and locally sourced, and the atmosphere is so charming. The staff were all so very friendly and patient and I love love love the handmade mugs! Only drawback is that it is rather pricy, but many cafés already charge about this much and don't have food/drink that stands out like truly it does here. I'd absolutely recommend this place!! read more

Came to visit here from Sacramento after the farmers market. I'm not sure if the guy was the owner or not but he kicked me and my other two friends out of our table for another group. He said we were taking up too much space for the other group, yet they had the same amount of people as us and were at a bigger table. Extremely rude and sad, all of this after we purchased drinks and were sitting. He was a shorter Asian guy and super unprofessional! read more

I went to Cloud Forest Cafe for lunch today after being super hungry and craving a panini. We got the Cloud Forest Panini, Cache Creek Caliente Panini and a chai latte. The drink was good, and both paninis were pretty good, they were solid but I wouldn't say they were the best I have had. The place is cute with nice decor and table setting. The workers were very nice as well. Also, I like how they provide a side of potato salad with your paninis. Both were good but I preferred the Cache Creek Caliente, but my sister preferred the Cloud Forest. Although I have three cons. First, the bread is quite crispy which can scratch your mouth, so it's your personal preference if you like that. Second, I think the bread was bigger than the filling, so middle would be great but all the edges were just bread, which is not as good. And finally, on one of my last bites of the potato salad, I found a hair in my potato salad. Seeing hairs in food is always a gross sight and definitely ruined my experience a bit. I had to put that aside and try to eat the rest, hoping I hadn't eaten any other hairs I simply didn't catch on. Overall, I think this is a solid place to get food, but wouldn't say it's the best that everyone needs to try. If you do go, just be on the lookout for hairs read more
