CC has really friendly and helpful staff. I stopped by after lunch for a double shot of espresso and I wasn’t disappointed. I didn’t have to wait long even with the large number of people inside. The choices are great and I’m sure the pastry selection is better earlier in the day. I would definitely visit again and try other items on the menu. A great coffee shop. Don’t miss the back entrance from the parking lot. They have a wide range of indoor seating; there is outdoor seating in the front and on the side of the building with some shade.

I got an Amazing flat white, it was rich, creamy and naturally sweet. I think they do a great job with sourcing their ingredients. I got a danish and it was also really good, flaky and tasty.

Great coffee, great pastries - nice vibe! A line when I got there but it moved at a good pace. The iced oat milk latte was great! I'd certainly go back just for the coffee. The pastries were also yummy - I got a chocolate hip cookie and a blueberry muffin. Not too sweet, fresh and good!

I enjoy this cafe that is centrally located. There is free parking available, although I prefer to walk there. I like the cold brew tea and the stainless steel hot/cold vessels, as well as the Sinfull Bakery Everything Bar. :) Also, Salvation Army is right across Washington, which is fun for me.

If you’re looking for a cozy coffee spot with consistently amazing drinks, Catalina Coffee is the place to go. The coffee tastes incredible every single time—rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. You can tell they really care about quality. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they’re more than happy to offer suggestions if you’re not sure what to order. House made syrups are delicious. Service is impressively fast, even when it’s busy, which makes it an easy stop whether you’re on the go or settling in for a while. It’s also a great place to relax with a book or spend time journaling. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable, and the outdoor area is just as nice—perfect for enjoying your coffee on a beautiful day. Highly recommend!

Got coffee at this place while exploring Houston downtown and it was worth it.

I love Catalina! They serve Amaya roast which is amazing this place also is a little sentimental for me, I opened up a brick and mortar retail business in 2017 and this was the only coffee shop in the area at the time. Their coffee filled me and my dreams for almost 10 years! Don’t get me started on the pastries, absolutely perfect. My favorite drink here is actually a black coffee drip. A mole seating inside, free parking. Eclectic crowd.

Catalina Coffee is one of those spots that immediately feels dialed in—from service to coffee to overall vibe. If you appreciate high-quality coffee done right, this is your place. Rwandan blend (Gold Cup pour-over) Hibiscus tea Oatmeal cranberry cookie The standout was the coffee. The Rwandan blend through the Gold Cup pour-over was clean, balanced, and full of nuanced flavor. You can tell there’s real attention to sourcing and preparation—it’s the kind of cup that makes you slow down and actually enjoy it. Order Summary: - Rwandan pour-over: excellent — clean, balanced, and well executed - Hibiscus tea: great — a little tart, but not in a bad way - Oatmeal cranberry cookie: excellent — moist, flavorful, and cooked perfectly Service was a highlight. Friendly, genuine, and backed by real knowledge of the menu. Recommendations felt intentional, not forced, which elevated the whole experience. Value is exceptional for the quality you’re getting, especially considering the level of care put into the coffee. The vibe is where this place really lands—modern, comfortable, and easy to settle into whether you’re working or just relaxing. Parking isn’t perfect, but manageable for the area. Final verdict: A high-quality coffee spot that actually delivers on both product and experience. This is the kind of place you wish you had back home. Crave Factor: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Would absolutely come back—this is a go-to spot) P.S. Went back a few days later and had the Gold Cup Rwanda again. This coffee is absolutely a show stopper. Well done, Catalina. Now, open one in Boise, ID 😁

Chill place for a really good cup of coffee. The friendly barista made my Americano just right and I enjoyed a jalapeno cheddar scone with it. The calm atmosphere is a refreshing change from the hectic city life. Parking is free and around back. Highly recommend!

I will say, the coffee from this shop is definitely different from the surrounding ones. It’s still incredible tho! I liked the rustic style it has, gives me vibes to that of a beer garden or cozy tavern. It is quite small tho, so it feels crowded fairly quickly. If you are looking for a spot to read or study, check out another shop or try your luck on a weekday afternoon. Also, it is cheaper than the surrounding coffee spots.
