Cloud City Coffee

We've eaten here almost everyday of our trip to Seattle as it's near our rental and I really love this place! Ordering online is easy and the bagel sandwiches are just perfect! Love that they have quite a few vegan options for the breakfast sandwiches. They have wonderful teas and coffees as well. My husband has enjoyed his mocha, my son gets the hot chocolate, and I tried their monthly special which was a toasty hojicha green tea mixed with cocoa, very unique and really good!

Lovely 7:30am breakfast here :) The black sesame latte was deliciously heavy on the sesame, and not too sweet, which paired perfectly with oat milk. Their vegan coconut ube muffin is absolutely scrumptious, as is there knockout vegan breakfast sammie and biscuits and gravy. Slather them with hot sauce for a real morning wake up! Definitely coming back again to try more baked goodies and specialty drinks :)

Nice neighborhood cafe with a very relaxed vibe. Service was friendly and fast and online order pick up was nicely organized. Currently take-out / patio dining only, the outdoor dining area is big and covered!

I had the breakfast sandwich with egg, cheddar, and cheese. It's warmed up nicely but a bit greasy for my taste though.

Beloved neighborhood spot for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. I recommend the grilled cheese with a free side of kale-slaw or one of the excellent quiches, heated up. I love that they make available their used espresso grounds as a nitrogen supplement for farmers and gardeners in the community.

As others have called out, I recommend coming for the vegan breakfast sandwiches. Something that can be hard to find! Also, if they have the vegan ube coconut muffin, that was also fantastic and perfect with coffee.

I ordered a 20oz Latte with no ice, but was only served half the amount. Initially, I thought someone had drank my Latte. The barista explained that it was because there was no ice in the drink. I measured it at home, and I found that it was only 300ml. If 20oz drinks are more expensive, they shouldn't give such a small amount. At least other cafes don't have such a large discrepancy. The experience was terrible and I feel like I was deceived.

This has been our favorite Seattle coffee shop for over 6 years now! My husband and I used to live in the Maple Leaf neighborhood and we would come here before our weekend mountain adventures. It holds a special place in our heart! The staff is always super friendly and energetic, the food is outstanding (and one of the last remaining reasonably priced places in Seattle, where inflation has gotten out of hand and unaffordable for many!) and the specialty coffee is so good! I love their mocha! They make their own chocolate sauce. My hubby and I have since lived abroad and had a baby and are now living in Ballard, and we still make special weekend trips just to come here! Keep up the great work Cloud City Team! You’re doing it right!!

Lovely little coffee shop, though the coffee was a bit bitter and over roasted for my taste. That said, cozy little place, with exceptionally awesome service.
Edit. I am editing because I don't know how to reply directly to a reply to my review. To the person whom replied, I simply had an Americano. And I understand that each coffee has its own roasting profile and all of that, and this one simply didn't meet my personal pace. That is in no way meant to detract from the exceptional service nor that I think a majority of people would find this particular coffee delightful!

I have been a loyal fan of cloud city for more than 10 years, but I refuse to wait 25 minutes for a coffee. Mobile orders (while necessary during the pandemic) have ruined this wonderful place. The food and coffee are fabulous, but I just can't endure this type of wait regularly, and even during off hours.

My go to spot for Sunday morning coffee. The blend here is really nice. Breakfast sandwiches are really good, as are the baked goods (I like to morning glory muffin)
