    This coffee shop is comfy cozy with amazing fancy drinks! Beautiful art is displayed for sale and the atmosphere creates a great vibe!

    Stopped in on a whim on an early Friday afternoon and SO glad I did. I tried the seasonal coconut almond mocha and it was DE-LI-CIOUS!. So much so, I didn't get a photo of it before it was gone. Love the vibe and the location is easy to get in/out of, if you're on the Westside. The guy behind the bar was really nice - would highly recommend checking it out. PS Love the Raven on the wall :)

    Pistachio Rose Iced Latte (special) $7

    This place is definitely hopping on a weekend morning! I stopped by a bit after 9am because I had an appointment around the area. There were people sitting already...and maybe just 1/4 of seatings available at that point But by 10:15am...it was so crowded everyone and their mothers were there! You wouldn't be able to get a seat there anymore! It's clear everyone loved Catalyst Coffee! I got a pistachio Rose iced later ($7) and thought it was good. Granted, I didn't realize an order of latter costs as much as $7 without tips yet these days!! The coffee was good and not overly sweet, which I liked. Maybe I will try their other coffee again if I'm in the area. Overall, great coffee, clean cafe..and clearly a popular one! Not sure if you'd be able to grab a seat late mornings onwards though!

    This is a 7.01 latte .

    I really wanted to love it here and support local. I understand the rising costs but I ordered a sf hazelnut latte and it was $7.01. I have the gentleman $8.00 and received no change just a punch card and he went back to talking to the person sitting at the counter :( I took a sip it was horrible couldn't get his attention so just left.

    Iced Americano.

    It's so nice to have a locally owned coffee place close-ish to my house! I visited Catalyst Coffee today after an appointment and I am very happy with this place. I chose an iced Americano and was given the choice of medium or dark roast, which doesn't happen most places. It was delicious and just right on a warm day. They have a good selection of drinks, Rude Boy cookies, conchas, and scones if you're in the mood for a little something something with your coffee or tea. The service is outstanding as well. I'll definitely return!

    Pumpkin spice latte hot and iced

    I loved this place when it used to be a bus and now I'm so excited that they have their own place too. The west side of town needs more local coffee shops and this one is perfect. The PSL was really good, not super sweet and actually tastes like coffee :)

    I'm not sure how long this place has been here but I'm happy I found it. Came here on a whim. Best pumpkin spiced latte I've ever had, could've been the praline flavor that made it pop. Nice, clean, modern interior. Friendly staff and quick service.

    Great place to stop to get coffee on the westside. Nice environment to work at. Great place to stop to get coffee on the westside. Nice environment to work at.

    My iced cortado -- strong and delicious.
    Paulina O.

    Coffee was delicious -- our iced latte and iced cortado were both strong yet smooth. We also had a yeasted donut that was airy and flavorful, so recommend those. The inside of the shop is spacious and bright, and has lots of space to sit and enjoy your coffee. They have some merch and stickers, which is always a plus for me. The service was excellent; super friendly barista who made us feel at home!

    Vanilla lavender oat milk latte

    Came in to do some "work from home" things and it was the perfect environment to do so! The staff is friendly, the place is super clean and beautiful, and the music was perfect. I loved my latte, they brought it to my table and took my empty glass when I was done. Honestly, I had never had this company before but I'm sure happy that have a shop now! They have great hours and are busy on weekends, but weekdays aren't too bad from what I've observed. Can't wait to try it again.

    First time visiting Cutbow Coffee Roasters, but I've been drinking coffee long enough to know the…read moredifference between good coffee and coffee that merely exists. This place definitely falls into the first category. This morning I went with the single origin Guatemala drip, and it was exactly what a solid cup of coffee should be. Smooth, rich, and balanced with a nice chocolate note that hangs around just long enough to make you take another sip. No bitterness. No burnt taste. Just a clean, well-roasted cup that says someone here actually cares about the beans. The shop itself has a personality, which I always appreciate. It's decorated with fishing lures, fish artwork, and sculptures scattered around the place. Naturally this leads to the obvious conclusion: the owner is either an avid fisherman... or coffee roasting is just the side hustle between trout expeditions. Either way, the theme works. The space feels relaxed, creative, and comfortable. The kind of place where you can sit with a cup and not feel rushed out the door. And speaking of doors, while I was there there was a steady flow of customers coming in and out. That's usually the universal coffee signal for yep, this place is doing something right. Bottom line: Great coffee, cool atmosphere, and a shop with enough character to keep things interesting. I'll definitely be back for another cup of that Guatemala.

    Service was so kind and helpful with recommendations and questions around coffee and pastries…read more I got the mocha with macadamia milk. It was delicious. Very mild chocolate, I believe it is Dutch chocolate if my memory services me not to sweet which I appreciate. It was delightfully well balanced. The coffee itself is very smooth and not bitter, excellent taste! I will be back for sure to try other options there are lots of choices. I should have taken a picture of the menu. There is ample seating both inside and outside, had I not had my toddler with me I would have loved to sit out front but it is right by the road so a no go with a rambunctious little boy... There is additional outside seating to the side and farther from the road too. I look forward to my next trip.

There are so many drinks to choose from, some bakery treats, and on weekend, Croffles (croissant dough waffles). Since it was Saturday I ordered the strawberry croffle and a cucumber sparking water, my husband tried one of the lattes. Everything was ready quick and tasted great. We found a spot to sit down and eat and enjoyed the coziness of the cafe. There are lots of blackbird decor items all over the shop. The courtyard was also so pretty. We would visit again!

    I love blackbirds so I was sold as soon as I saw the raven (crow?) beckoning me in…read more The decor did not disappoint! Blackbird art everywhere and a very 90s old school coffeehouse vibe. Plenty of seating with tables, comfortable chairs and banquet seating if that's more your thing. On a nice day, sit outside as it's absolutely lovely out there, downright magical. Baristas are so nice and they put a lot of effort into crafting your drink. Admittedly, I didn't love my Americano but that had more to do with the type of bean (think a brighter flavor, while I prefer a dark roasted nutty flavor). This wouldn't at all stop me from returning and trying something else, like one of their cute specialty lattes if I'm feeling something on the sweeter side. Their prices are extremely reasonable, too.
