After Party

Cat & Cloud is a Santa Cruz roaster with a genuinely lovely community streak. Alongside rotating single origins from Rwanda, Ethiopia, Mexico and beyond, they've got much-loved blends like 'The Answer' and the 'Best Friends Blend' — and through their Best Friends Club they send a dollar from every pound sold back to producers. It's roasted daily, they run cafés around Santa Cruz, and they'll ship to 190-plus countries, so distance isn't much of an excuse. Free monthly public tastings round out the welcoming vibe. A warm, approachable pick if you want feel-good, everyday specialty coffee from the California coast.
