    I went to the Catalyst Cafe for the first time today. It was quiet and clean and bright. I loved the decor. Especially the bathroom! The staff was gracious and got my order ready to go in good time. Everything was delicious and i especially loved the little handmade bags and charms that are at the counter. I had to buy some of those too! Loved it and will definitely go back next time I'm in the Everett area.

    Stopped into this brilliant new cafe for a little nosh this afternoon and was not disappointed. Excellent cold brew, chocolate decadence hot cocoa (with rainbow sprinkles and marshmallows!!), heavenly lemon pound cake, and a sugared donut rounded out our order. Super friendly team running the counter and an adorable cashier who impressed us with his mad skills! Will definitely be back again soon!

    I stopped in here today to get a sandwich and a drink, kind of checking the place out since I had never heard of it before. Absolutely love it. My food is delicious, they have vegan substitutes that no up charge, and gluten-free options. The owner is incredibly nice and respectful. There is a good amount of seeding for a small cafe in Everett, and a pretty good menu selection. I really hope this place thrives and is able to be open more hours and continues to support all of the LGBTQIA+ and ally communities in Snohomish county.

    Cute, clean, friendly cafe with great coffee and a solid pastry selection. My flat white was delicious, the staff were friendly and warm, and my donut was stolen by my daughter.

    Wonderful, cozy and inclusive local spot for amazing breakfast sandwiches and coffee. My fiancé and I took our first trip over to this cafe and were surprised with a live reading of some of my childhood favorite books. Their menu was familiar and comforting with a few twists. We got the Apple Cheese Bacon and Peanut butter (ACAB for short ) and the Breakfast bagel and coffee. All were freshly made and very tasty. Would highly recommend this spot if you're a local in the area or just someone who appreciates good food and atmosphere.

    They were not open the hours that were listed on yelp so I drove there for nothing. Check the hours before you go!

    Can I bring my dog?

    As long as they keep off the furniture and don't go after people or other dogs, yes. We keep puppy cookies for them behind the counter. 😊

    This place is the best!! I've been here a few times now and I always get the same order - breakfast…read moreburrito with avocado and London fog tea or their seasonal coffee beverages. I've been wanting to try their chocolate chip cookie but it's never ready when I've gone. Their burrito is delicious though, it's packed and super filling, not to mention the sauces are the best part! I wish they gave a little more as I end up finishing the sauces before the burrito is done because they're sooo tasty with the burrito. I also wish they had other meat options other than bacon. They don't have chicken add ins but other than that it's a great place! I've also had their biscuit and jam, but that's just ok. I wouldn't get it again. It's not that tasty or memorable. There's lots of seating, food is ready fairly quickly, service is great and employees are friendly, and parking right outside. So convenient!

However, and I'd like to share my feedback on my experiences. - The food is decent, though it's often prepared for presentation rather than taste. It frequently arrives cold. - The coffee and tea are overpriced and tastes mediocre. - for instance, I paid $8 for a 4-ounce mix of espresso and orange juice that made my stomach hurt. - I also paid nearly $7 for the "peach blossom tea" and ended up getting 3/4 cup of ice, packet tea, and sweetener in a cup. - I've tried nearly everything on the drink menu and nothing is 'great' - The wait time for an order is incredibly long, and the employees are often distracted and preoccupied with other tasks, making it difficult to get my order taken. Overall, go to narrative for the ambiance and food, NOT the drinks.

    Wow. Velton's has changed my coffee life. I recently discovered Grain Artisan Bakery in Snohomish…read more(highly recommend), & since it was afternoon, I got a decaf latte to go with my rhubarb custard tart. With decaf, I've come to expect that I will need the sweet treat to enhance the drink, but this coffee was absolutely as good as the amazing pastry, which is super, super rare!! It was Velton's Three Ravens Blend, the best decaf - by far - that I have had in more than a decade of searching. Three Ravens is completely delicious standing alone - which is what I've been searching for - and it harmonizes beautifully for the half-caf I like to drink in the mornings. I first emailed the business about which of their caffeinated offerings they would recommend for this, and Velton Ross got back to me right away with the friendliest, kindest reply and several very thoughtful suggestions. So far I've enjoyed the Bonsai Blend - an excellent and delicious accompaniment, just a slightly warmer, brighter profile when full-caf than is my preference - and I am going to order the Twilight Blend next. Although you cannot buy in person from their roastery, you can easily order from their site. They have lovely detailed descriptions of everything they offer, and shipping is very quick and very reasonable. They roast on Mondays and ship on Tuesdays, and I have always received my order (in Shoreline) by Friday, or Saturday at latest. There are also quite a few retail locations from Everett to the eastside - and even one each in Vegas and Montana! - where you can buy their beans and/or drink their coffee. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to list these on their site with detailed information about each establishment. So helpful for learning about local businesses I might have otherwise never come across. Online, you can purchase both whole bean and pre-ground for espresso and drip coffee. The drip coffee grind was a little too fine for my coffee cone method. So I experimented with whole beans and found that, for me, the flavor is perfect when I grind them one setting coarser than I used to use for other coffees. The best part of all of this, is that this is the first decaf I've ever been able to drink without a feeling of compromise, extra doctoring, or gaslighting myself into believing that it's good. Zero disappointment!! I can make a straight decaf cup any time of day and know that I'm going to love every sip. Thank you, Velton's!!

    Velton's is by far my favorite roasted bean. And Velton is a really nice guy. I have been, around…read morequality coffee for 50 years, and nothing compares to Velton's.
