    Pastry selection
    Sandra N.

    Cloud9 Coffee is perched between a small airport and a golf range. With a small somewhat confusing parking lot and some street parking, Cloud9 Coffee is busy especially weekend mornings. The menu has a great selection of specialty coffee, tea, pastries, toasts and of course their beloved croffles. This Korean cafe is quite small inside with limited seating indoors but a good amount of outdoor seating. There is a small selection of merchandise, beans, and some dog products for sale. The pastries are from Midwife & the Baker so you know they're solid. Service is pretty inefficient and inconsistent here. Some of the orders are brought out to you by the workers while some orders just sit on the coffee counter unclaimed with no name or receipt attached to it. We received a drink and a toast via delivery to our table by a worker. We then waited 10 minutes for the rest of our order to come out but finally gave up and my husband went inside to check on the order. Apparently my iced coffee and scone had been sitting abandoned on the counter for a while. When he asked "is this the butterscotch latte for Stephanie?", the worker shrugged and was unsure of the drink. So it's safe to say, the service here is a bit messy and disorganized. The cashier never asked if we were dining for here or to-go. Our toast came out on a plate while the pastry came out in a disposable sleeve. Lack of communication seems to be the issue here. If they could implement a standardized pick up system and perhaps just stick with numbers (rather than names) it would be less confusing. Also if they asked customers whether they would like their order to-go that would be more efficient. Butterscotch latte - Creamy, good balance of coffee to milk ratio. Sweet but not too sweet in my opinion. Quite enjoyable and goes well with a scone. Brie proscuitto toast - The country bread is substantial but holds up well without getting soggy. The brie was creamy and rich. The proscuitto added a nice touch of salt while the balsamic adds a bold acidic contrast. All together with the greens and mangoes, the flavors come together well. Orangesicle scone with vanilla drizzle - Crumbly but still moist, this scone is refreshing and you can taste the citrus flavor. The vanilla flavor is a nice touch adding some light sweetness. Final thoughts: Coffee and toast/pastries were delicious. This is a great outdoor spot especially on a day with some nice sunshine. Service is a little disorganized and can be really confusing. We noticed the workers making a lot of mistakes with other nearby customers' orders. Unless they make changes to their communication with customers, I would suggest waiting inside for your order so theres less room for error.

    Black sesame latte - Amazing latte! The best I've had in a while. My black sesame latte (with an added shot) was smooth and creamy and nutty and just the right amount bitter. A lot of the black sesame had settled at the bottom of the cup once I had finished the drink, so that taste was quite mild. I liked it anyway, like a latte with a hint of nuttiness. Immaculate atmosphere - Most seating is located outdoors, right next to a golf course. It's calming and bright and overall quite lovely.

    Casual patio coffee shop and outdoor dining for breakfast or lunch which is a bit of a locals spot. I can recommend the spicy tuna sandwich and flat white. Most tables are partly shaded and next to the Palo Alto airport and the Bay Lands nature preserve. Tip: best when it's sunny, warm and not windy. It's still fairly quiet as the airport serves only small planes, so a good spot for conversation with friends.

    Lattes; butterscotch and red velvet
    Mona A.

    Part of me thought about writing this review and whether I wanted folks to discover this spot or keep it to myself, I decided to write a review as good things are to be shared I really like this coffee spot, though it has a lot of pros and some cons too, but overall it's one of my favorites I love their butterscotch latte, I have had the iced version as well but they add way too much milk to it (when you ask for half decaf, they just reduce the number of shots and add more milk be adding a shot of decaf espresso) which is a con. I do wish they would add a shot of decaf espresso when you ask for half caffeinated becuse without it they just add milk and it changes the flavor of their drinks, and not in a good way My husband love their red velvet latte, their peppermint and he tried their cloudy which was way too milky. We love their croffels; I love matcha croffel, and it's a great concept to make a waffle out of a croissant , and he loves the plain strawberry one. They add raspberries to the matcha croffel, and it's sweet but not too sweet. Likewise their butterscotch latte isn't too sweet. My husband always takes this place to go for us. Customer service is decent, nothing crazy.

    Went back today, it was a nice clear and sunny day with a slight breeze. I ordered a flat white and have decided their coffee is pretty decent. It's a nice open café, and the food menu looks delicious. staff are friendly.

    Brie Pear Tartine & Thai Tea Latte
    Allie G.

    Cloud9 Coffee was awesome! I visited on a Saturday morning and found the place pretty busy. The interior was bright and clean, with minimal decor and some indoor seating. Most of the seating was outside on the (dog-friendly) patio though. I love when coffee shops have real food on their menu, and Cloud9 had sandwiches, salads, and tartines. The tartines all sounded so good, I had the hardest time choosing, but went with the Brie Pear. For coffee, I chose the Thai Tea Latte. Service was pretty quick despite them being so busy, and I was able to snag a table outside. My Thai Tea Latte was phenomenal. The flavor was so good, and the drink wasn't overly sweet. I also loved the Brie Pear Tartine - such a nice combination of textures and flavors. Will be returning to explore more of the menu!

    My husband come here every once in awhile. We love the calming ambiance of the sunlight over here. The parking lot is small, but we park in the lot across from it sometimes. I love their coffee and their croffles! They offer a pretty good variety of food, which is appreciated. The staff are always friendly and, while the food orders can be backed up sometimes, we don't mind the wait as we sip the coffee and slow down time on a busy morning

    Ham and cheese croffle
    Lindsay C.

    I wasn't expecting to find this spot right by the Palo Alto airport. I tried their holiday drink the peppermint mocha, it was light on the peppermint and not too sweet which was nice but I wanted a tad bit more peppermint flavor. My husband got the drip coffee, and we shared a ham and cheese croffle. After one bite, I told him he needed to order his own. The croffle (croissant waffle) was buttery and chewy, with a nice balance of sweet and savory from the ham, cheese, spring mix, and balsamic glaze. There's a few tall stools inside but plenty of seating outside. Sometimes it's nice to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee and look up at the sky.

    Beautiful location right by the aviation center and golf course. They're known for the Cloudy Latte, but since it only comes iced, it wasn't my favorite--I also would've liked it a bit sweeter. The hot black sesame latte with a shot of espresso, however, was delicious -- perfectly balanced in sweetness and coffee strength. The avocado toast was okay, but the coffee was definitely the highlight. The pumpkin muffin paired with the black sesame latte was a divine combo.

    Nice cute little cafe tucked in the corner of the plaza. Parking can be a bit difficult, but they do have a couple small lots + street parking. The decor is nice, and I saw a lot of people working on their laptop when I visited on a Thursday noon. They have a lot of drinks on the menu, including tea. Service was great. I wasn't sure if I wanted a shot of espresso in my black sesame latte (I don't normally like coffee that much, but I was sleep deprived), so I asked her to keep the shot of espresso on the side in case I'd order the original black sesame latte more. I loved the cream from the black sesame latte, but the drink itself wasn't nutty enough for me and the black sesame taste was too subtle, so I just poured the cup of espresso in directly. The combo was pretty smooth and not too bitter. However, the cream on the top because too liquidy (aka it got mixed) so I was a bit sad because the cream was sooo good. The cream was also probably why I didn't think the coffee was too bitter though.

    Very cute cafe that a lot of people can go to do homework, work, have small chats. The location is pretty "weird" as it is next to a golf course and an air strip? But the vibes are really good, the sandwiches, toasts, and pastries they have all looked delicious. The toast in the pic was delicious. The inside area is a little small and cramped but they have a lot of outside seatings if weather permits!

    This korean coffee place near the airport surprised me! Came with my fiance on a weekend wanting to try a new place. The inside is quite nice, there were several tables available for brunch style food. It was decently packed, maybe 10-12 people there at the time of our arrival. They sell pretty cute merch! I thought the designs were pretty good and I almost bought one of the shirts. I ordered a cold brew with cream. Honestly, the cream was pretty good! the cold brew part was about typical fare. I can't fault the place and would recommend to anyone wanting some coffee in the area :)

    Cloudy Coffee

    I don't think there are any words to describe my love for Cloud9! The area is so cute, because it has seating indoors and outdoors (+shade). It's such a cool place to hang out or work/study. Everyone who was working was so nice, they were patient and able to answer any questions I had about the drinks. The parking can be a bit confusing, but street parking doesn't seem to be an issue. Additionally, the bathrooms are communal with the rest of the building and is located in the very back (I spent a long time trying to find it but again, the employees were so kind about it)! The drinks were also super yummy, I got the cloudy coffee and strawberry matcha which were simply good. (also the coffee is on the bitter side for anyone who likes the coffee but not sweet taste)!

I've worked my way through both the permanent and seasonal menus, and I genuinely can't think of a bad drink I've had.

I personally had the crab omelette and left no crumbs behind. The potatoes were well seasoned and wish I had enough room in my tummy to finish them off! The drip coffee was bold and delicious not watered down at all! Finally, we shared the 2 stack biscoff pancakes for a sweet finish. The pancakes were bouncy with biscoff sauce and a mound of whipped cream. This was mouth wateringly delicious. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this was so yummy.
