Cloud Café: Coffee and More in Katy, Texas

October 29, 2013 by

This bright, sunlit locally-owned café has become a go-to spot for Katy locals looking for a nice place to relax, sip a drink and enjoy life. Cloud Café is located in a shopping center in between a martial arts dojo and a truck repair shop and serves as an oasis for locals.

The menu here starts off with bubble tea, a beverage that incorporates pearls of tapioca starch to give a unique texture and taste. Numerous flavors are available, and they also make slushy drinks. More traditional fare is also on offer, with both free trade and organic coffee and teas. They also have free wireless Internet if you'd like to browse the web while you eat. There is also plenty of opportunities for recreation there – board games, reading material and even an open piano all draw crowds!

One additional nice touch: the walls are hung with works for sale by local artists.
