Catalyst Coffee

Stopped in on a whim on an early Friday afternoon and SO glad I did. I tried the seasonal coconut almond mocha and it was DE-LI-CIOUS!. So much so, I didn't get a photo of it before it was gone. Love the vibe and the location is easy to get in/out of, if you're on the Westside. The guy behind the bar was really nice - would highly recommend checking it out.PS Love the Raven on the wall :)

The service was friendly and the drinks were pretty good! The ambiance had a neat industrial vibe going for it too. If you're looking for a pretty no frills coffee spot for serious coffee drinkers this is your place. There isn't the extra bells and whistles you probably got used to at Starbucks, but certain things are done better. The one thing I didn't like was that the iced drinks only came in a small cup. What I really did like was the freshness and care that they took in preparation. For example, at Starbucks they put the matcha powder and give it a shake. This often causes clumps of matcha to not fully blend in. But here they do it the right way by using the wood whisking tool (not sure what it's called) and it ends up 100% smooth with no clumps.

I really wanted to love it here and support local. I understand the rising costs but I ordered a sf hazelnut latte and it was $7.01. I have the gentleman $8.00 and received no change just a punch card and he went back to talking to the person sitting at the counter :( I took a sip it was horrible couldn't get his attention so just left.

I loved this place when it used to be a bus and now I'm so excited that they have their own place too. The west side of town needs more local coffee shops and this one is perfect. The PSL was really good, not super sweet and actually tastes like coffee :)

This place is definitely hopping on a weekend morning! I stopped by a bit after 9am because I had an appointment around the area. There were people sitting already...and maybe just 1/4 of seatings available at that point But by 10:15am...it was so crowded everyone and their mothers were there! You wouldn't be able to get a seat there anymore! It's clear everyone loved Catalyst Coffee!I got a pistachio Rose iced later ($7) and thought it was good. Granted, I didn't realize an order of latter costs as much as $7 without tips yet these days!! The coffee was good and not overly sweet, which I liked. Maybe I will try their other coffee again if I'm in the area.Overall, great coffee, clean cafe..and clearly a popular one! Not sure if you'd be able to grab a seat late mornings onwards though!

It's so nice to have a locally owned coffee place close-ish to my house! I visited Catalyst Coffee today after an appointment and I am very happy with this place.I chose an iced Americano and was given the choice of medium or dark roast, which doesn't happen most places. It was delicious and just right on a warm day.They have a good selection of drinks, Rude Boy cookies, conchas, and scones if you're in the mood for a little something something with your coffee or tea.The service is outstanding as well. I'll definitely return!

I'm not sure how long this place has been here but I'm happy I found it. Came here on a whim. Best pumpkin spiced latte I've ever had, could've been the praline flavor that made it pop. Nice, clean, modern interior. Friendly staff and quick service.

Great place to stop to get coffee on the westside. Nice environment to work at.Great place to stop to get coffee on the westside. Nice environment to work at.

Coffee was delicious -- our iced latte and iced cortado were both strong yet smooth. We also had a yeasted donut that was airy and flavorful, so recommend those. The inside of the shop is spacious and bright, and has lots of space to sit and enjoy your coffee. They have some merch and stickers, which is always a plus for me.The service was excellent; super friendly barista who made us feel at home!

Went today to try it again... I am just not sure what it is. The coffee is never good. The baristas seem to not be trained on how to make a latte. Definitely the last time. Also smelled of sewage:(
