In terms of this place, I think there are better places that are more accommodating to people's diets and allergies. When ordering food here, my friend had asked to remove some aspects from the panini due to dietary restrictions; however, a man kept telling him that this was not possible since it was too complicated. Then, my friend ended up attempting to ask if the sauce could be put on the side instead of being drizzled all over the sandwich, and once again the man said it was too complicated, and we can't accommodate. So my friend just ended up getting a side salad to eat. Yet, the chaos didn't end there. Once we did get our food, someone had took ours from the counter. This is when the man actually became nice and accommodating. Only when there was a clear mistake on his end. read more

If you're a matcha lover, you should try the Honey Matcha here. Nice earthy flavor and not too sweet! read more

HAVE AGAIN: The Savory panini with bacon was very good. Needed salt and pepper. Beautiful restaurant. Thank you.

I love this place. Always feels like you can have a moment of zen here. They even have a laptop free area, which I haven't seen at many places. Come for avocado toast, juice, and a latte. My favorite juice to get is the carrot orange. A friend introduced me to asking for peppermint syrup in a latte, which is a flavor combo I wouldn't have thought of, but that is really good! read more

My friends and I went here for lunch. We over heard the owner (I assume) being rude to their server after my friend asked if it was possible to get banana on her strawberry Nutella sweet toast (the answer was no, which is ok but the owner didn't have to be rude to the server for asking for us). When we got our drinks they got our sizes wrong and in response they gave us a dollar back from the cash register?? Also the sweet toast is just sour dough bread and fruit.... Over priced, water downed drinks, weird vibes. read more

The coffee is delicious. I enjoyed a caramel macchiato. I have the cheddar, egg, bacon, and Chipotle Panini. It wasn't really a panini, but it was a delicious sandwich nonetheless. The cashiers were pleasant and helpful. The exterior and interior are adorable. A great place to stop in for breakfast in Davis! read more

My husband and I had lunch there today. Both our sandwiches Cache Creek and bri cheese jam and turkey panini's where great! Matcha ice latte and iced tea were served in unique glasses. I would definitely go back read more

We had a very enjoyable breakfast. Ordered sausage egg and cheese panini, avocado salmon toast, mocha and a cappuccino. The gentleman at the counter was pleasant and almost apologetic that they did not have table Service. The food was fresh and presented nicely, but a tad more on the expensive side. The drinks were average priced and delicious. read more

Creamy. full-flavored cafe latte. We get here occasionally, but it's the highlight of our morning whenever we're in Davis! Go there! Great service and atmosphere! read more

Of all the coffee shops in Davis, Cloud is the best! Their coffee is consistently made, service is impeccable, and ambiance is very home-y. I stop by every time I am back in Davis and they never disappoint! read more

We tried this place for the first time and we LOVED it. Food is great. Coffee was really good. I am very picky when it comes to trying coffee at new places but this place nailed it. Customer service was amazing. Prices are reasonable, if you want quality food and service, you should try out this place. Would definitely come again when will be passing by Davis. read more

One of my favorite cafes in Davis! I love the ambiance there, feels very cozy and quiet. I know some reviews say the manager is mean, but he was so nice and friendly?? I enjoyed my fig and Brie cheese panini, and the dirty chai is the perfect sweetness. Thanks for a great afternoon! read more

Drinks were satisfactory and their cashiers/baristas were very friendly. Great atmosphere and cute patio. Hidden gem. No other place like it in town. read more

A staple of Davis, this shop has wonderful staff and good decor. In terms of the coffee, a recent visit this month saw that the pours are heavy (a good thing) and the pricing respectable for the current economic times (an iced caramel macchiato runs around $6 for a 20oz). A downside can be the cramped quarters as well as the lack of WIFI. The shop features a section that is meant entirely for conversation and dining; however, a lack of WIFI for a coffee shop in a college town of Davis' reputation and magnitude is mind-boggling. Needless to say, a great place for socializing/first date vibes and not so much for work/studying...again, very odd considering the amount of students and teachers/researchers associated with UC Davis. read more

Cloud Forest Cafe - Sausage Panini (photo circa 2022). - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Very friendly staff, owner seemed grouchy at first but he was backed up with a ton of orders and re-welcomed us when he was finally all caught up. Don't blame him--I get stressed out too. Beet and carrot - Made fresh, watch them grind the carrots up, and pour some beet juice in it. Would I have preferred them to use more fresh beets and not juice straight out of a bottle? Maybe, but it was too hot outside to care. I really enjoyed how light and healthy it tasted. Seats outside are nice and relaxing, and much more spacious than inside. Next time try: Three amigos, pink lady, or Davis Sunshine read more

I came in craving the salmon avocado toast, but alas they were sold out. The counter crew bolstered my spirits suggesting a vegetarian panini. I rallied, ordered it (along with a decaf Americano). The panini sandwich was truly inspired. Many restaurants fall into the trap of gilding the lilly with garlic olive oil, obscuring the flavor of the vegetables, but not cloud forest! And the bread (chiabatta) was artfully and masterfully toasted. The Americano was well balanced. Side of potato salad (normally I am wary) was also well proportioned (you know what I'm talking about). This is a must stop cafe when in Davis. Friendly crew, solid food and coffee. Isn't that what life is about? read more

Disappointed to say the least. Waited over 30 minutes for these paninis that ended up being $26?? For that amount, you expect to get a lot more than what you pay for considering the sandwich was more bread than anything else. If you have money to burn, you'd enjoy this place. read more

I've always had a good time when I've come here. I love the drinks, although I can't recommend the scones/baked goods, since they are a bit overpriced and not particularly delicious. But I love the environment and the drinks. Also it's good to know that there are limitations on laptops & studying in certain areas here. read more

I went based on reviews with my sister and my mom, and we were all impressed. The staff is super sweet, and we each got a panini and sat outside to eat them. Wait time was a little bit because there were only two people working, which was understandable. Paninis come with a side of baby carrots or potato salad, and we all got ours on ciabatta bread, which was delicious. I got the Fresh Mozz (I'm allergic to avocado) and it was delicious! My mom and sister enjoyed the Valley Veggie and the Cloud Forest, which were full and thick. We didn't feel weighed down or greasy afterwards, which was great. They're taking great COVID precautions and I will be back to try some beverages! read more

I enjoyed my orange carrot juice and avocado toast. My mocha was OK, nice mug but small. There are a few tables inside, fairly close together, not very comfortable. We bussed our own table, which made me wonder why I had tipped so much in advance. It's a nice menu, but I thought everything a little too pricey. read more

I love this little Cafe. I stop by every time I visit my son. He loves their breakfast sandwiches and I love the avocado toast and fresh juices. The Cafe is quiet and cozy, I love the ambiance, plants and environment. The owners are always super sweet, makes you want to come back over and over again. Parking is available in front. read more

Cute cottage atmosphere, great breakfast date ! There was a little line inside the cute cottage to order. It went by fast, and gave us both enough time to look at the menu. Ordered, sat outside, and our breakfast was ready in under 10 minutes. Was delicious. The atmosphere was extremely cute, highly recommend for a date location. On top of that, what makes this a five star hole in the wall is that the staff was so nice and friendly !!! The person I was with tried to pay, and the staff even played along and helped them pay instead of me!! Gave good menu recommendations, and wished us a nice day when leaving. read more

This is a gem! The strawberry smoothie is fresh and the panini foccacia bread was so crispy and crunchy! Well toasted! I don't know what spread they used but it was delicious. The cache creek caliente panini wasn't spicy at all to me. I tried their iced caramel latte and will be coming back for more! It was so good and a definite must try. They have outdoor seating available. They had limited staff and a line of customers so we waited about 10-15 minutes for our order but it was well worth it! The workers were very warm and friendly and I will continue to support this little business in town!!! read more

Cloud forest is a little cafe in downtown that has some cool photos up on the wall. I ordered the cloud forest panini and thought it was solid. The bread was toasted perfectly and the sandwich had a nice crunch and bite to it. I got the potato salad as a side and thought it was way too sweet for my liking. The girl working here was very friendly so the service was pretty spot on. Moderate prices so expect to pay around $9-$12 or so. The panini is pretty well sized though. Food: 3.75/5 Value: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 3.75/5 read more

super cute place and cute vibe, however i ordered an avocado toast and it was 14 dollars. i assumed it would be big or id get two slices, but it was one tiny piece with literally just some avocado and seasoning. i wish i grabbed a photo of it but it was so tiny and i was so hungry i ate it in one bite. it still tasted pretty good cant lie but 100% not worth 14 DOLLARS. and as my 3 friends were grabbing a seat outside because i was the only one ordering, as other reviews are saying, an older short asian man tells me to be considerate the "lunch rush?" and like basically telling me i can't eat outside with my friends bc i was the only one eating? and was basically upset at me for taking a table with my 3 FRIENDS after i paid 14 DOLLARS for a tiny ass piece of toast. not to mention the store was pretty much EMPTY. maybe 3 tables were filled and we were sitting outside anyways. and to top it off, as i'm outside eating, my friend next to me is eating a tiny pastry out of a tiny brown bag, and a worker comes over to us and tells her she can't eat outside food at the table. lowk ridiculous sorry, cute place but like not worth it and lowk crazy of them to say that stuff to me so rude. and makes me even more upset to read other comments of ppl having the same experience with this asian man read more

This is a cute little spot and their latte was pretty good! I got a small vanilla latte (which truly is a small haha), and it was very sweet. The coffee flavor was there, but could have been a bit stronger. One small issue is that we waited 5-10 minutes to order since there was one person both working the register and making the drinks. She was nice though and walked our drinks to us as soon as she made them. Would come again! read more

two groups behind us got their orders before me and my sibling. We only order two drinks but the TWO groups behind us got their food and drinks before us. Asked what's taking so long after waiting 20 mins and the owner just has an attitude. stay yourself the headache and support another small business who isn't owned by an A-hole. read more

This was my first visit, and I was surprised how cute it is inside! From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem in Davis. Two other very popular brunch places are on either side of this establishment, but this is definitely now my favorite brunch spot in Davis. We sat outside on a nice day and enjoyed our fresh pressed juice and smoothie. The service was absolutely phenomenal, they explained everything on the menu, gave recommendations, and indicated what was popular at their cafe. The ambience is very comfortable and I will be returning to see how they are like when they return to normal business as well read more

This is definitely not my first visit, but I never got the chance to write a review. I've been coming here since my sophomore year (I'm now a senior) and it's got to be one of my favorite cafes I've ever been to. It doesn't look like much outside, but this place is a hidden gem! The general atmosphere is casual and gives off a very home-y, mom-and-pop shop feel. It's a nice change of scenery among coffee shops like Philz and Starbucks. The cafe is usually buzzing with a handful of students studying or older folks getting a quick bite to eat. As a student, studying here is great (just be aware of the 2 hours of free wifi per order), although sometimes it can get a little loud with people chatting or music playing. So if you mainly study in silence, maybe go somewhere else since it's a bit of a gamble. Other than that, the service is great and the workers are always very sweet and accommodating. I usually order the Cloud Forest Panini or the Bacon, Chipotle and Cheddar Breakfast Panini, but my favorite has got to be the Cloud Forest with ciabatta bread. It has a really nice crunch to it, the spring mix is never soggy and always refreshing, and there's a nice balance between all the components. The only thing is the potato salad is pretty small, but still tastes pretty good. I'll continue coming back unless proven otherwise, but overall it's definitely a sweet spot in Davis! read more

Cloud Forest is a great breakfast spot if you're looking for something that is hearty but not too filling. We had the Savory and Veggie Breakfast Paninis and both were absolutely delicious! The physical space was clean and spacious. The staff was incredibly welcoming - top notch customer service!

Such a chic/ hip little spot in Davis, and the food is incredible. Super nice and friendly staff.

Location- really cute shop nestled off the street. Both inside and outside seating. Owner works the counter with a few college students. At least this is how it appeared. Reason why I noticed is he was too hands on & it did not look like a comfortable situation with the young workers. Food- small menu but I initially wanted the Avo sandwich which is on their Yelp review and looked very good. Got there and saw they had BLT and I ordered that. He asked me if I wanted potato salad or raw carrots. Sort of an odd side dish but okay. The bread was really good BUT 2 slices of bacon? Really that's the main item so it needs to be THE BOMB Nope had to YEL read more

I chose this place as it was across the street from my hotel. What I loved: they had great breakfast sandwiches and loved the choice of focaccia bread. The chipotle sauce on the sandwich was a nice surprise. It was also nice to see the place filled with work from local artists. Okay I wasn't a fan of: Filthy Dirty Chai. I love Dirty Chai's and usually get one if it's on the menu. The filthy dirty chai adds chocolate and espresso so I had to try it. They used way too much cocoa and it overpowered the chai flavor. I ended up having to toss it sadly. read more

Deffinatly good vibes here! I'm wondering around davis for the weekend and I came across this little place. They actually have 6 different kinds of chi tea here which makes the world a happy place. Theres some ultra mellow music going and the people seem to be enjoying their conversation. They also have outdoor seatimg which is perfect for a warm summer day. Everything is original and the staff here seems to be students who are intra friendly. There is a ton of art on the walls from what I assume is all local artists. All photography so I'm deffinatly glad that they support the local artist! I ordered a candy chi which is one of the sweeter drinks that they offer and it actually has satisfied my sweet tooth. Overall this place is very laid back. I will deffinatly return during my next trip to davis! Yay. read more

5/5 every single time I come here! The owner of the restaurant is so kind and sweet. The drinks are always delicious and the food is amazing no matter what I get - but the cloud forest panini is definitely a favorite of mine!! The ambiance is inviting and feels like a great place you can go to sit and chat with a friend. My only complaint is that they aren't open Mondays so I can't get my fix everyday of the week! Definitely check it out! read more

Such a beautiful cafe! Wonderful atmosphere, and very kind staff. The gentleman who works there is always so kind and welcoming, and makes sure we're taken care of every time we come in! The d street brie is one of my favorite sandwiches here, and I wish they sold larger sizes of the potato salad! Fresh juices always hit the spot, and we are welcomed back with a smile time and time again. read more

I had a turkey sandwich on focaccia and an iced coffee and it was so good! The side of potato salad was a little small but was delicious. They made my coffee right away and waited maybe five minutes for the sandwich. The cafe has a tree covered patio. Very quiet and cozy spot for lunch. read more
