Cat & Cloud Coffee
3600 Portola Dr, Capitola, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Capitola spot welcomes everyone from nervous first-timers to regulars who make it their go-to on East Cliff walks, thanks to genuinely friendly staff who strip away any intimidating "trendy coffee shop" vibes. Their espresso-focused menu shines with thoughtfully balanced roasts, while their pour overs and surprisingly excellent avocado toast pair perfectly with the bright, decorated space and nearby beach access. It's the kind of neighborhood favorite that gets packed because the coffee is legitimately great and the whole vibe just makes you want to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Avocado toast was surprisingly good. Tangy and salty. A perfectly cute cafe.
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. There's both indoor and outdoor seating to suit whatever mood…
Cat & Cloud is the best!!! The entire staff was super friendly and helpful. Coffee is always so great - the balance of the roast and depth of flavor. Great assortment of pastries and food. Location has both inside and outside seating.
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. They have a great indoor and outdoor benches & a few tables for friends to hang out and munch…
