What customers say

Cat & Cloud is our local favorite (if only their parking lot was larger because it can be quite popular!) but its where we love to go for coffee when walking around off of East Cliff.

★★★★★ — Lynne, 2024-02

Very cool coffee joint...hee hee. But truly a great place for coffee and simple and light food. The ‘americano’ is spot on with the right flavor and aroma. I dig the interior with blend of white walls, natural geometric wooden counter, and blends of industrial metal chairs/furniture.

★★★★☆ — Miniqooper, 2018-11

Excellence in every way! Top tier beans to make wonderful drinks, delicious avocado toast, and always a pleasure to talk with staff. Cat & Cloud coffee is my favorite coffee house in the whole greater Bay Area! Will continue to keep coming back!

★★★★★ — Amy, 2021-09

A great location only a few blocks from Pleasure Point, making it a great option to grab a coffee and go for a walk. The staff are friendly, the location is clean and well decorated, and is overall a good experience.
