Very nice and cozy spot with some of the best pour over in the Houston area! The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I bought a bag of beans to take home and they gave me a complimentary sticker and espresso shot for the road. read more

Checked this place out on a Friday evening after a walk in Buffalo Bayou Park. It's a minimal type of place. It didn't strike me as esthetically pleasing or inspirational. Pro: It stays open past when most coffee shops stay open. Cons: Coffee is just okay (mocha latte). Pastries are okay (cheese danish). They don't have a way to warm up the pastry for you... :( All in all, this is an average coffee place, that'll get the job done. read more

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. read more

Catalina Coffee - Chai Latte with oat milk. Perfect mix - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cool little coffee joint on Washington in the Rice Military area. They actually have parking behind the shop; big plus. Interior is small but has the right vibe. Coffee prices and selection is decent and their coffee is good. Definitely a good cafe stop for this area. read more

Catalina Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

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 read more

Catalina Coffee - Iced Lavender latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went there yesterday had an iced cafe con leche. It was horrible!! I'll have a latte next time.

I checked out this coffee shop because I was just curious and am trying to explore more houston coffee spots. Out of the ones I've been to, this one didn't really leave much impression on me. The vibes insides are definitely more dark and grungey and seating is a bit low since it's wooden benches, but I can see this place being good spot to catch up with a friend if you're in the area. I don't think it's a good place to study since there aren't any outlets or bigger tables. As for their coffee, we tried out their lavender latte and seasonal fall spice latte and it was kind of watery and espresso flavor was not very strong. They also have a parking lot that is behind their shop and it was super crowded when I checked them out on the weekend. Overall, it's a good coffeeshop with friendly baristas but not sure if I'd personally revisit! read more

Wish I had read the reviews prior to coming. They don't offer wifi AND there are no visible outlets hence the stars. Ordered the Chai Latte and it was pretty good. 5/5 The parking lot is very small and coffee shop itself is small. The seats are mostly little benches with no back support. Not the place to do work or study. read more

On Sunday morning there's usually a cars & coffee meet up in the area. People will bring their classic or current cars for everyone to look at & snap pictures. This is an awesome spot to get your morning started, I went ahead & ordered their cappuccino. Wow, it was strong, rich, creamy, foamy but not too much & it had a nice bitterness to it. If you like your coffee to taste like milk & weak then this ain't the place for you. Everything was great from the drinks to the service my only complaint is that presentation wise, it didn't look as pretty as the ones I've seen. They were busy as heck so I understand that they rushed it a bit. The place has a nice rustic interior with some unique art work on their walls. Overall, great experience, I recommend grabbing your coffee/tea here, walk around & look at all the classic/new cars passing in & out while enjoying your drink. read more

Catalina Coffee - Cappuccino. Rich, creamy, foamy (not too foamy), strong & has a nice bitterness to it. 5/5. Presentation could have been better though. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

My friend had heard about this place and wanted to check it out so I went with her. The lines to order and then wait for coffee were long when we got there and stayed as we left. That said, staff were all polite and none of the guests waiting seemed irritable. I personally didn't get anything but my friend got and iced latte which she really liked and she said she would totally go back there again - she is the Yelp Elite that got me Yelping and interested in Elite status so I take her opinions serious and would definitely go there again to try for myself. The ambiance was very chill - people talking, working in their laptops, reading etc. The only thing I didn't care too much for is the fact that they only have a limited number of pastries for snacking so you can't go there hungry except if pastries are your jam and you don't mind filling up on them. Otherwise, I enjoyed being there and recommend checking it out at least once. read more

Simple, grungy, and great coffee. This is the type of coffee shop Houston natives seem to love to meet up at for morning chats with friends. Lots of bike riders and older Houston residents seem to love this place! The vibe is surprisingly edgy yet simple - rock and punk music plays in the background..coupled with exposed brick and a simple menu this place has some character for sure! Coffee quality is great...but what really stood out for me was the low PRICE! I got an oat milk latte with lots of modifications which all came out to under $5! Most other houston shops will charge over $6 for this. Interior is very small. Limited seating and no outlets. Not really the best place for all-day laptop work but I found it was great for reading for a couple hours. Ideally - this is the place you go to grab a quick drink or meet up with a friend for a short while. Parking is available in a lot out back. It's near residential streets so you shouldn't have an issue with parking. Overall - this place has great character and I highly recommend. Right out of Richmond, VA or Portland, OR (artsy towns in the US) read more

We visited Catalina Coffee mid morning. The parking is in the back, so we circled the block. I think this was what contributed to my luck. Two patrons were leaving and I was able to park near the door. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed: - Two iced vanilla lattes one with honey - Iced Chai Vanilla latte - Lemon poppyseed muffin - Oatmeal cookie - Chocolate chip cookie The store front was very clean and there were plenty of seats even though it was mostly full. We took our beverages and tasty treats to go. As we were leaving, someone was waiting to park in the spot we vacated. I definitely recommend you giving them a try. We will definitely be back. read more

Fantastic local coffee shop. Excellent service. Had a half white, which was made correctly 5-6oz). Service is excellent. It's in a small strip building next to a men's provision shop (think selvage denim and moto gear), proper barber shop, and saloon. read more

The cutest vibe for this small coffee shop. There is outdoor dining, but they are not currently doing indoor dining. The coffee here was great. The espresso was absolutely aromatic. I got my classic Mocha Ice Latte. It was not too sweet or bitter. Perfect amount of espresso with their house made chocolate sauce. Best thing no matter what weather! read more

Catalina Coffee - Back of the coffee shop! Great place Ever!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fantastic little coffee shop that creates a wonderful spot for a great social experience. I was told Catalina has some of the best coffee in Houston (I personally thought it was par with most coffee shops) but the big seller was the environment. It's fun. Louder than some, but full of life in a way to allow time for great conversation. I went in and tried their cappuccino and thought it was good. It had a great aroma with a decently well done foam design and the coffee was nice. Not overly strong or mild. One downside. There are barely any outlets so it's not the best place to hunker down and get a bunch of work done, but that may be their creative choice. This is a great place to just hang out with friends, get a good cup of coffee, brainstorm ideas on an iPad or yellow page, and leave feeling content. Would definitely visit again. read more

Came back here for our favorite - lavender latte. It is the best in the area! The line gets long sometimes, but it's usually pretty quick, and the baristas usually get your order just right. And the mochi muffin is delicious! It is so good, my three-year-old will not share read more

Catalina coffee pros and cons: Pros: Coffee consistent, use a La Marzoco coffee machine, scones delicious, location great because it's down the street from us. Cons: some of the staff are as bitter as some coffees, the parking lot is overcrowded, the Sunday car shows make it impossible to grab a quick cup of Joe. read more

Neat little coffee shop! Upon arrival, the place was packed for a Saturday afternoon, especially since there was a Houston "cold front". The workers were very friendly, and very knowledgeable as to what to recommend for our first visit. I chose a spiced latte with almond milk which turned out slightly sweet and gave me those warm, fuzzy Fall vibes. My friends ordered a peppermint latte, a lavender latte, and a lavender/vanilla latte. All drinks had the cute IG-worthy latte art, and were served in real ceramic cups! Would definitely stop by again when in the area, but I noted that this spot didn't include very many seats with nearby outlets for studying. read more

Catalina Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decent cuppa. Nothing special. Got an iced latte and was neither impressed nor disappointed.

Definitely a spot oriented to a coffee lover more than someone looking for a spot to work. I was visiting from out of town and my buddy recommended we meet up here. Glad we did as this spot was a nice find, even though I'm not from Houston. Will have to swing through for another latte if I find myself in Houston again. My only gripe would be the service seemed a bit slow... but that may be the sacrifice for getting good coffee. Good coffee takes time. read more

Catalina Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Catalina Coffee is the cool, hip coffee place that you often imagine when thinking about coffee shops. The store is cozy, and the staff was very welcoming. After talking to the barista about the menu, we tried their lavender, peppermint, spiced, and vanilla lattes. All 4 were delicious and not overly sweet. I liked that the high quality coffee still stood out and wasn't overpowered by the flavored syrups. The foam on top of the lattes was perfect as well, and the latte art was very well made. Almond milk is an available option as well if you're lactose intolerant. My only complaint was that the lattes all came out warm, but not hot. We would have really enjoyed them more if they were piping hot to where it warms you to your core. I also wouldn't come here to study because outlets are pretty scarce here if you need to charge your phone or laptop. But overall Catalina coffee makes really high quality coffee, and is worth checking out. read more

Great little coffee shop. Cool aesthetic, coffee is good - the lavender latte is awesome. I'm only giving them a 3/5 because I searched for Wi-Fi cafe and they don't have wifi or outlets available. If you want coffee and a chill space go here for sure. read more

I am not the coffee drinker in the family, but my husband who is a bit of a coffee snob said it was perfect. He really enjoyed it so much. Love the spot, you can sit outside on Washington, and watch the cars go by...there are some nice shops in the strip too. They have some delicious pasties as well, and have their coffee for purchase. read more

We came here to study with friends and were thoroughly disappointed in their seating, complete lack of wall outlets, and quite loud music. This place definitely doesn't want you to stay long and study here. I would only come back here to meet up with friends and chat. That said, their coffee is actually really good. They offered two different types of beans for their espresso, which I appreciated. My americano came out with really bright and crisp notes and a complex finish. Definitely on my short list for best coffee in Houston. I didn't get to try their lattes, but I imagine that their house blend would be better in the latte. This place really caters to coffee snobs and those who like lighter roast and acidic coffee. However, students seeking a comfy place to work effectively -- beware. read more

I love Catalina coffee. It has a great atmosphere, delicious coffee and great servers. We have been coming here for about 6 years, and it's always a place I enjoy spending time. The atmosphere is genuinely cool and relaxed. Exposed brick, long wooden tables with benches. Nice lighting. One thing to note - they don't have outlets here nor do they have WiFi. It's nice though, because this is truly a place to enjoy a cup of coffee with another person or a couple and just enjoy their company, or if you're on your own, good old fashioned paper and pen or a book are perfect here. This is not what I would call a study/working coffee shop, and I always like it for that reason. It's usually buzzy with lots of patrons talking to each other at their tables throughout the day on weekends and quieter after work during the week, if you like visiting coffee shops at that time. I've been here too many times to count, and always enjoy it. One of lower Washington's gems. read more

Catalina Coffee - Latte to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

TLDR: Low key local coffee house with quality brews and standard prices. Visit: Weekend (morning) Order: Espresso Black Coffee Rating: 8.2 I'm no coffee connoisseur per say, but I can tell the difference between a quality bean and your mainstream run of the mill variety. This particular establishment was a quaint place just off the beaten path on a Washington. No frills. Just a good cup of joe and a few pastry offerings. The long lines move swiftly and the seating fills up quick. Needing a pick-me up after a long weekend, I opted for a black coffee and a double shot of espresso. The coffee itself was flavorful, but the standout was the espresso. Sharp, citrusy, with velvety smooth finish. Perfect. read more
