WELCOME TO CLOUDY CAFE

Don't let the name fool you — chef Dionne "Cloudy" Himmelfarb is bringing big energy, bold flavors, and warm bakery smells to the heart of Ballard. A longtime force in Seattle's food scene (Mt. Joy, Canlis, Ethan Stowell Restaurants), Dionne's finally doing her own thing: a cozy, pastry-forward cafe serving up your favorite breads and breakfast staples, with just a touch of her Indonesian roots. Cloudy Cafe is comfort food with a wink. We can't wait to welcome you in.

Blending the exacting standards of classic French pastry with the vibrant, tropical notes of her Indonesian heritage, we invite you to experience a bakery that feels both deeply rooted in Seattle and excitingly worldly.
