catalina coffee shop

catalina's coffee destroys everyone else. i thought i knew good coffee before but catalona schooled me. i almost wish i had never been so i could drink coffee elsewhere without dissapppintment.

the baristas here are really good and very friendly. this was my first time in houston and i wanted to visit local coffee shops and experience their brewed coffee. i have to say i loved it. nothing can brighten up your day better than a perfectly brewed hot coffee. 

this is a must visit place if you are in downtown houston. i would definitely recommend it.

most of my coffee trips are to the large coffee chain. the main reason is that i do not live or work nearby. the times i visited, my drink orders have been great and the baristas were friendly. i think the large coffee chain aims to have the quality, but adding a shot of quantity (yeah, a coffee pun). closes daily at 7.

industrial atmosphere with house made syrups. there’s almond milk for non-dairy customers as well. really great mocha with a bold taste of espresso.

pricey venue. aesthetic is stark; not overly comfortable for hanging out and studying. noisy too. hip? not really; more pretentious. heard a lot hype. went. not impressed.

great place with best coffee! blueberry muffin is my favorite their. i think its best place for coffee. a cup in evening make evening wonderful .

the cold drip coffee machine on the counter helps make the place look 'legit'. they got pretty good coffee and a varied selection of pastries (loved the danish and muffins). but overall... for hangin' out and brunchin' i prefer going to blacksmith. catalina is more for grabbing a quick coffee when you're headed somewhere.

cute place with good coffee! blueberry muffin is really good, too. sucks that they don't have wi-fi seeing as that every other coffee shop in houston does, but other than that it's a great place to meet and grab a quick cup of brew.

catalina coffee is where coffee connoisseurs mix and mingle in houston's 6th ward. the high, open rafters, exposed brick walls and industrial vintage design create a relaxing environment to sip coffee while reading a book or discussing art with friends. if you enjoy a patio setting, they have outdoor seating in the front and on the side for those rare houston moments when a cool breeze blows through. special perk is the free parking lot which is a thumbs up for the washington ave area. the staff is friendly and attentive.

this seattle inspired coffee shop offers freshly roasted beans, locally sourced products and pastries from weights & measures. try a latte and an almond croissant!

i probably go here more than once a week and the staff is amazing. they are super fun and wear cute hats. they also tend to remember you so that usually when we get to the register we do not have to order. in the afternoon they tend to turn the music up more which is nice. the only downside is no free wi-fi.

catalina coffee was one of the first of the artisan roasters in houston and in my opinion, is still one of the best. coffee roasting is an art. time versus temperature versus bean profile. even beans from the same single estate, if harvested in the spring versus the fall, may require adjustments of time or temperature. by roasting to the flavor profile of the coffee bean instead of to the color, catalina produces world class coffee. attention to detail in the weighing of the coffee, x grams per x milliliters of water, water temperature, grind, time. flavors that one wouldn't know were possible in a cup of coffee.

just a warning, the features section is wrong--no free wi-if here

a fine coffee shop.. i find catalina to be amongst the top two coffee shops in houston. as far as quality and consistency, it does not disappoint.

key location in midtown and seconds from downtown, with decent parking available, this little gem seems rather inconspicuous cuz it's done tastefully and with refinement. plenty of indoor seating. and patio seating wrapping halfway around the shoppe.

the coffee is on point. brewed scientifically with art. sweet, delicious, full - bodied and can be bold if u dare to quadshot. can't praise their coffee enough.

cons: i went in on a wednesday at noon. no wifi. wait. no wifi? ummm....am i at a coffee shop? it makes no sense.

one of the places i love the most is catalina coffee off of washington, not just for coffee, but also as a place to read. one the reasons i love it so much is because it doesn’t have wifi. that’s right, no wifi!

if you love and appreciate your coffee and you live in houston, then you’ll probably know catalina’s coffee shop. i know people who wouldn’t spend money on a coffee anywhere else. the whole place is a charming little ode to coffee. they will prepare it for you in a whole range of different ways, french press, aeropress, hariov60, vacuum pot, coffee dripper or iced coffee via chemex. if only i could find a place that loved and appreciated the cocoa bean in the same way catalina handles their coffee beans. i would be one happy girl. considering its coffee reputation i didn’t expect much for the hot chocolate. i used to think that if a shop respected one food or drink group so much then they would have the same respect for everything they served in the shop. consistently this has proven to be a false assumption, unfortunately, in particular in the city of houston strangely enough. but regardless of what you choose to drink at catalina it is really a great little spot. located down washing
