Cloud City Coffee

Cloud City Coffee is a coffee bar and bakery on the corner of Roosevelt Ave NE and NE 88th street.

He said: It looks as though this used to be a small mechanics shop; plenty of parking and large garage doors which I can only assume are opened in times of better weather. This is probably fantastic in the summer time, but still offers a very bright inside even on cloudy days like today: a pleasant change from the moodily lit coffee bars that dot the urban landscape in Seattle all too frequently. 1$ drip (all you can sip) is a major plus, complimented by a good variety of drip coffees to choose from and decent joe to boot. I got a cinnamon roll which looked delicious and was, although it was very different from the normal confectionery sugar mound loosely held together by bits of refined flour. Their cinnamon roll was very cakey and had a cream cheese frosting that was unexpected but went well with the cakiness of the roll and the medium blend of coffee I had chosen. Uncomfortable counter seats are the only thing actually "wrong" with this place, but perhaps that's by design so that folks taking advantage of the free wi-fi don't get too comfortable. B+.

We went here because we had a coupon in the Entertainment book (thank you mom and dad!). I really enjoyed my morning because of this restaurant. Cool people, cool hang-out, very good food, and great coffee. I had a breakfast burrito - tasty. I saw their bagels and I want to try one next time. The coffee was $1. Amazing. They don't care how long you stay or how much coffee you drink. Everyone brought their dogs with them. There were lots of kids, too.

The menu had a lot of options for a place where you order at the counter. They had random coffee mugs (recycled from garage sales I'm sure) for you to use and the staff was on the ball. The only downfall was that the chairs were really uncomfortable. They had two couches, but they were occupied. A-.
