Cat & Cloud Coffee

Hot latte ($5.25) was of decent quality (they even made it an upside down latte-thank you for that). Baklava roll was nice too. Baristas and cashier are super friendly. Sadly, they serve drinks in paper cups. Also, it's not a stand alone coffee shop and it's difficult to find this place, which I didn't like.

Really nice staff, so kind and helpful. The coffee itself was so delicious, my iced oat milk latte had such a lovely oat flavor. There's lots of outdoor seating, and a bit of indoor seating, however it's in a cafeteria with many other restaurants.

Best cup of coffee I've had in weeks! I've stopped at coffee shops all along the West Coast for the Radical Rebounding Tour. We seek out the best cup of coffee everyday. In Santa Cruz, this is it! You can buy bags of their roasted magic to bring along with you too. The building and space are great. Trust Google maps to get you here. There are no great signs. It's in the plaza next to the museum. There's other great restaurants here too. But forget them and grab the great go juice!!! It put the bounce in my step today.

Sweet coffee shop - located in food court next to museum. Staff were super friendly and happy to make recommendations. I had the overnight oats and a cappuccino - both delish! A tip: this is a great spot to escape the bustle of pacific avenue. Just one block back, with tons of seating, inside and outside.

The coffee shop is located inside Abbott Square Market. The seating area is a public space within the market. I ordered a mocha and a cappuccino, both were very hot and delicious. The mocha was topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon, adding a delightful aroma. There’s a large number of people so we had to wait for some time upon receiving our order.

The drip coffee single origin was on par with a pour over for a great price. Their espresso drinks are also good. The vegan coffee cake good, nice and moist. The banana bread was very moist and great as well. Croissant also good. Aka everything here is amazing, definitely would go here often if I lived in SC!

Friendly service and staff were helpful with question ! The coffee was spectacular! Ordered a dirty oat chai and iced cappuccino

Cat and Cloud Review (Abbott Square Market) Customer service 3/5 Employees we're energetic, enthusiastic and seemed knowledgeable about their product. However, I brought to the attention of the barista, that the shot she pulled for me was under extracted and tasted sour and salty. Instead of re pulling my shot I received a bit of a dirty look and an "okay" from the barista. I would have maybe let this slide if there was a line out the door but there were no other customs untill 2 minutes after I sat down. (I know this is not how this blend is supposed to taste. I have had this espresso blend at their main location, as well as, extracted it many times at home and receiving amazing results). SPEED 5/5 Drinks we're out in less than 3 minutes. Work flow is locked in. Seating 5/5 This coffee shop shares space with several other food shops, so indoor seating can be limited at times when busy. However, the outdoor seating is vast and elegant. Quality 3.8/ 5 Most places will give you a small cup of sparkling water with your espresso if you are paying $3 to $4 for a shot. I did not receive any. Espresso blend (the Answer) Sharp, bold, sour, salty under extracted. I let the barista know about it but she did not pull another shot, so I had no other choice but to critique the espresso as is. Single Origin Guatemala (The truth) Bright, flavorful, medium to light body, perfectly extracted, berry citrus smells and tastes, smooth surgery finish. Creamy Beige Signature cat and cloud milkshake with espresso. Well proportioned and balanced. Definitely a great treat for the hot weather if you have a sweet tooth. Presentation 5/5 The custom ceramic espresso cups and saucers are an amazing unique touch. Latte art is on point. The baristas are definitely skilled. OVER ALL 4.3/5 A bit underwhelmed comparing it to the original location in terms of the customer service. However, it is a great location, elegant, friendly, and located right in the heart of Downtown Santa Cruz. Unfortunately I am not from the area so I had to give my review based on this single experience.This is a fairly new location, obviously with some room for improvement. All in all, I would recommend Cat and Cloud to any coffee enthusiast or anyone in general who is looking to enjoy a great cup of coffee in downtown Santa Cruz.
