Meet Jared Truby, Chris Baca and Charles Jack — three friends, three barista champions and one very big dream. In 2016, Chris called the other two up and just two weeks later they had a lease signed and Cat & Cloud was born in Santa Cruz, California. Built around a simple but brilliant philosophy of making people happy, these guys put hospitality at the heart of absolutely everything they do. From the way they serve coffee to the relationships they build with farmers, it's all done with warmth, passion and a whole lot of soul. Honestly, we're a little bit obsessed.

Santa Cruz, California — Where it all began and where they're still proudly based. All four of their cafés and their roastery call this sunny Californian city home.
