Catalina Coffee

We've been here twice, about 5 years ago and a few days ago, both visits scored some great coffee. For some reason I overlooked doing a review so here it is. I picked up a bag of Amaya Coffee Roasters whole beans, temporada, an espresso, I love the beans and the presence of a roast date on the bag. We enjoyed a couple iced mocha coffees. Check out the huge gorilla mural across the street.

Experience: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service:5/5

By far the best coffee I’ve had inside the loop. Going to buy their coffee beans I like it that much. I normally order ahead in the morning before work. The staff is super friendly. Seating is a bit odd and the space is a little small but but if you’re looking for excellent coffee I highly recommend this place!

Awesome coffee shop in the heights. The coffee beans are excellent. The staff are extremely friendly. They have some small snacks and plenty of open seating. I’ll definitely be back.

This place was a latte haven!

I walked here with my aunt everyday I was visiting her!

This place is very special and the people are SO KIND!

Not expensive, but the quality of the coffees, teas, and danishes are DELICIOUS AND AMAZING. Go here! You won’t regret it! ☕️🫖🧁🥧🍰

Great coffe and pastries. Pretty small but has a great vibe to it. Plenty of parking at the rear of the place. My iced latte was actually one of the cheapest that I've gotten in a while and was delicious.

What can you say? The coffee is great! The people that work there are fantastic, friendly, and always smiling. The atmosphere is consistently good; especially on Sundays. Coffee and Cars!!

I came on a Sunday afternoon. Good little coffee shop. Seems like a nice spot for locals. Not much seating, kinda feels crowded hence the reason I gave 4 stars.

As a person who loves coffee, I will see the coffee here is not very good. The coffee shop was very clean, super friendly staff, lovey decor, and as a construction worker I felt out of place by the mean stares everyone was giving me (I’m used to it, happens often in “nicer” places). They advertise a Cubano Breve coffee on their website but in store they say they don’t serve but could get close to it, so they tried but didn’t have any items that a traditional coffee would have. I ended up ordering a mocha latte and it was just alright. The latte wasn’t the worse I have had but surely was very close to it. I will not be back.

Vibe- Such a cozy coffee shop, they had me at whatever playlist they were playing because it was giving early 2000s (roll out x Ludacris is the song I walked in on lol) There’s a good amount of seating outside and 3 square tables with a bar across the back wall with some seats inside. There’s a door on the front of the building and there’s a back door too that leads into the parking lot outside.

*I noticed pictures on the walls all around and asked the barista that rung me up about them, she said they are by a local photographer (Robert A. Sykes) from his trip to New York. I think it’s neat that they use art from locals!*

Customer service- Great!

Food/drinks- I ordered a hot chai tea with vanilla and oatmilk; it was yummy.

Parking- There’s a few spots on the street right in front of the building and there’s a lot out back with a good amount of parking

Their coffee is delicious. And the baristas are so very kind! I spilled my coffee all over myself and the floor and not only did they clean up after me but they surprised me with a new one at no cost. I don't usually leave reviews but cannot recommend this place highly enough!!!
