Catalyst Coffee Bar

Finally a coffee bar where I can enjoy an outstanding brew along with an expert barista (Jac). Not only do I get a great cup, but also an education on the types of coffee and how they are roasted along with enjoying beautiful artwork. This place is truly an oasis downtown.

Third wave coffee in downtown St Louis? You bet your arch! Hahahahaha! See what I did there? Do you? Do you though? OK, cool. Excellent espresso drinks, great space with excellent art, friendly barista, a good time all around, you should go there, I recommend it. A+

Great service with a smile, received a warm welcoming upon entering and the barista was very helpful and charming. The shop is connected to an art gallery so the environment is especially nice. They have a good food selection which, while not necessary at a coffee place, is good for me because I am always a little hungry.

It taste SO good...add nothing, take nothing away. Simply DELICIOUS! Excellent customer service!

Just a chillaxed place to grab an excellent coffee. I had the vanilla latte and it was better than any Starbucks I've had.

It was quiet and had some great coffee. It was also nice to walk around and look at the local art talent.

Think the planet is spinning a little too fast today for you? Want to step off for just a moment and collect your thoughts before stepping back into the fray? Then head over to Catalyst Coffee Bar. Inside you will find yourself in a place that doesn't only serve hot and cold coffee drinks, but a place where Art is everywhere…on the walls, in the coffee itself and sometimes even on the sidewalk outside. A wonderful representation of Regional Artist’s, possibly your own neighbors…showing their creativity at its best through all-juried Art exhibitions alongside Art Saint Louis who owns and operates Catalyst Coffee Bar. You’ll find comfy seating, areas to gather a group for a meeting, inspiring music along with the melodic sounds of coffee being tamped and the beckoning call of the steam wand inviting you to stay longer. Because it’s all located in an urban downtown setting, the mix of people at Catalyst Coffee Bar is a wonderful showcase of diversity that celebrates personality and lifestyle. This is a cozy environment that allows for inspiring open conversations with strangers who are all brought together by a charming ambience of creativity. Catalyst Coffee Bar has free Wi-Fi, is dog friendly and is a casual landing place that invites you into a sophisticated warm sense of community.

Great staff, awesome coffee, interesting art. A wonderful place to spend an hour or two.

Jac and the rest of the staff are fantastic. I'm pretty simple in my coffee needs & wants (black coffee, hot or iced) and the cup that Jac made was, without a doubt, most excellent. Stop in for a cup to go, or stay and admire the most recent art exhibit with your coffee.

Nice place to have coffee . Have art shows often . Will try to go there more often. Great coffee .
