    Coffee here is no frills caffeine. Small menu. Line starts at the back door and there's small parking lots at the back as well. I like getting iced coffees here. Their syrups are made in house which is very cool (I've tried the vanilla). I come Sunday mornings right at opening. Cons: no wifi here, seating is a little cramped.

    I came here after my Orange Theory session, visiting for work. The parking lot was tiny and full but there was another bigger lot right behind it. Quick service on a Saturday morning, had a cup of black coffee (wanted a larger but they only had one size), and great cheddar scone and protein bar. Nice neighborhood with an authentic reclaimed feel.

    Hi stumbled upon this place looking for spot to work. Parking is limited directly behind the coffee shop however there is a larger parking lot across the street. I really like the seating there. It was simple and surprisingly comfortable. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and worked for a couple of hours. Coffee is good. Staff was courteous and the vibe appeared to be come and go. The music was very loud so it would be hard to have a convo inside. I think since my brain is so busy already I was able to work through it but at one point I did get frustrated when I tried to make a call. No outlets, so bring laptop that is charged. Nevertheless if I'm in the area again perhaps I will come again. Happy Yelping!

    Coffee is excellent most of all the set up, location and the ppl is what makes this place great.

    Catalina Coffee is a true staple in the Houston coffee scene. The service is always kind and efficient, and the vibe is exactly what you'd want from a classic coffee house--warm, unfussy, and welcoming. I stopped in today for an iced flat white and a ginger molasses cookie, both of which hit the spot. They serve all the café standards and do them well, and the walls are always lined with local event flyers and small biz shoutouts--today I caught one for sourdough at Henderson & Kane (would've grabbed a loaf if I weren't baking my own!). It's also super convenient--right next to Cutthroat Barbershop, which makes it my go-to stop after a haircut. Whether you're walking from nearby Washington Ave apartments or just passing through, Catalina is the kind of neighborhood café you can always count on.

    This is my FAVORITE coffee shop. I've been coming to Catalina for years and they never disappoint. They have fantastic quality beans and the pastries are delicious. I also notice that they are still a little bit affordable compared to the other Houston coffee shops which always a plus. The staff is also super kind! The ambiance is very industrial rustic. It's very cute. Love coming here!

    Catalina has been a staple coffee shop in Houston for years. I remember when I used to visit them back when I was in middle school, and I finally visited them again a decade later as a college graduate. It still has that cozy and casual interior with artistic works on the wall, which are available for sale. I got a hot fall spiced latte. The latte has a creamy texture with lots of froth, which I personally really like, and the latte was reasonably priced. Seating can be limited, as the space is quite small. There is parking in the back, but it is shared with a business and can get full. There was also a line, and the wait can take some time. Overall, Catalina Coffee has a vibrant but laid-back atmosphere and emphasizes on no-frills coffee, focusing on the basics, essentials, and consistency.

    I've been coming to Catalina Coffee for years and I love this place! Located near buffalo bayou park offering delicious coffee and a cold brew that is made very specific and a process you can see behind the counter. Their coffee beans have a great flavor even without any sugar added! My go to anywhere is a Honey & Cinnamon iced latte which is what I always order when I stop by. Interior is not too small or too big it's calm enough to study. They have outdoor seating and good parking behind the shop. The service is always friendly and helpful if you have any questions. If your out for a run or a walk near Buffalo Bayou park stop by this coffee shop you won't be disappointed 10/10

    Cute cafe with good coffee! There isn't any WiFi but a good amount of tables to sit at to chat or do work. There's a bit of parking at the back which is good as people seem to come in and out. Staff is super friendly! Would definitely come back to try more.

    PSA- NO WIFI, NO OUTLETS. The coffee is delicious! They seem to have a great atmosphere between customers and baristas, lots of regulars. I had a cafe con leche- classique. Can't wait to try other options! The pastries looked delicious but didn't try any.

    Friendly service, a really welcoming atmosphere. Didn't have time to try more than an espresso here, but enjoyed the moment... as did the regulars who are recognized.

A couple of friends and I wandered in early on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the scrambled‑egg and turkey‑bacon tacos with a flat white, one friend had the chilaquiles (he thought they could've used a bit more flavor and some avocado), and my other friend went for the French toast with an iced coffee. We had a great conversation over a delicious meal and solid coffee, and the steady stream of adorable dogs around us was the perfect bonus. I'd read some reviews complaining about the service, but ours was totally fine--especially for an early Sunday morning. It probably helps to be patient if they're short‑staffed, but we had no issues at all.

The avocado toast was good, they used fresh avocado. The toast was very crispy because of the type of bread but I enjoyed it. They also have yummy fresh pressed juice.

Just didn't stand out like the Kolache. Rice is pretty dense so the middle where the filling was a little heavy. - Cambodian Iced Coffee (Kayfe Dahkoh): Reminded me of Viet coffee with the condensed milk. Loved how they tried to be very environmental conscious here. For their ice to go cups they used paper? to go cups. (They reminded me of those traditional paper chinese food take out containers but cup form). They also have raw spaghetti pasta? for people to use as stir sticks for their coffees. They had a few tables insides (counter and tables) and outside. Not sure what the wifi/outlet situation was like since we did to go.
