Crema's Take
“Cloud City runs an honor coffee bar where you pay on the honor system, a refreshingly trust-based approach that perfectly matches its laid-back, old-school Seattle vibe with a modern edge. The breakfast sandwiches—particularly the egg and cheese croissant loaded with spinach, onion, and tomato—are legitimately worth the trip, and the espresso-focused drinks pair perfectly with leisurely mornings spent at their generous communal tables. It's the kind of place where locals linger for hours, and where the casual, comfortable atmosphere makes you feel less like you're in a coffee shop and more like you're hanging in a friend's living room.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available.

This is a strong pick! It’s a coffee shop with Hella hipster vibes, and an honor coffee bar, which was a first for me! They also have a variety of food options with a main focus on breakfast sandwiches. One critique: their drip coffee is a little too rich for my liking.
This is hands-down one of my favorite places to grab breakfast and coffee. My go-to breakfast is the egg and cheese croissant with spinach, onion, tomato, and mayo and the vegan version for my sweetie. In Autumn, they have a vegan friendly pumpkin spice latte using real pumpkin…
Super impressed with this locally owned coffee shop... It has the vibe of old school Seattle coffee shops with a fresh edge, which is to say it's casual and comfortable, made for hanging out, but they also carry more food and make it easy to get stuff to go. They bake and make…
Awful experience and one that left me perplexed as to why it’s highly rated. Cashier was extremely rude and was arguing with the customer before me and was just as rude and apathetic to me. Food was a microwaved mess and one that was extremely disappointing. It was microwaved…
