Nice seating on deck, my coffee was awful on this visit (4/5 green stars) Note to owners: you have to start being nicer to customers. I asked what kind of milk they have and where their beans come from. These two questions were dealt with in a belligerent manner. I understand that some places are not yet used to being asked questions along these lines – it might seem like an intrusion. But a lot of people want to know what they are eating and drinking these days – either for health or ethical reasons. I like the space – especially their outdoor deck. But my Americano ($3.25) was not good at all – it was about the same level as Folgers instant. Overall, I enjoyed sitting on their deck (the third star was for that) and might give them another try for tea and food. I’m giving the Cloud Forest Cafe 4/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • In the end I didn’t find out where their beans came from – they are roasted somewhere in Davis. There’s no info on trade practices or sustainability. Overall, I think they deserve 3.5 green stars but would give 4 stars if I knew their beans had a positive social or environmental impact. I’m rounding up for now. • They stock almond (not organic), rice and soy milk. • Their teas are amongst the best that you can find, in terms of impact: Equal Exchange and Choice Organic. • Their cup lids and cold cups are standard plastic. They do have ceramic cups and plates for in-house. • I think their pastries come from the Village Bakery, which I reviewed separately (4 green stars). • Decent selection of vegetarian and vegan food options. Please join in and include green star ratings in your reviews! Or contact me if you’d like to know more.

This place is nice and quiet, has a simple menu, and has nice people working here. Their juices are really good and fresh squeezed. Reasonably priced too, and the right amount of food. About $8 for a fresh squeezed apple/orange/carrot juice and a veggie sandwich that was really tasty.

This is a nice little coffee shop (not really anything in the way of food here). They roast their own coffee, and I believe it is fair trade as well. Their caffeto frios are very good. Free wifi. The major down side is that this is a really small place, and their hours are very odd.

Unlike the other more eccentric coffee shops around town, Cloud Forest has a refreshingly calm, middle-of-the-forest vibe. Fast wifi, plenty of outlet seating, and awesome outdoor patio to kick back and relax with a book. Great (albeit a tad pricey) smoothies and juices.

We had mochas, the sausage and egg panini, and the onion roasted pepper panini with ciabatta and they were all great! Not greasy as you usually find with paninis, great place to stop by for a quick breakfast.

Drawn in by the name, and wasnt disappointed. Great music playing, friendly barista, good prices, and enough caffeine to prompt me to actually write a review (and hopefully get my work done!)

Francisco Mendoza

Awesome iced drinks and great staff, a bit crowded at times but other patrons are usually nice. Chill atmosphere to have a good conversation or study for just a couple hours.

Jessica Selby

Great paninis (breakfast and lunch!) that are enough for 2 (for me anyway) and friendly staff. Great place to stop in for a bite or to study over lunch with the free wifi

Esteban Cartagena

Although using their free WiFi for guests was almost impossible, the lady at the cashier was nice and gentle, salads were good and the ambient was calm. Would come back.

Ben Lerch

Great place to get coffee and small cafe meals. Nice cafe environment and a patio section outside.

I had a delicious caramel latte served in an adorable cup! Extremely cozy and quiet inside.

Kelsey Wood

Not well air conditioned in the summer and chairs not very comfy. Coffee was decent.
