Downtown coffee shop. Very spacious and lots of room to study and sit. The coffee was amazing! A little too churchy for my taste in style but I guess that's the norm for a small town in TN. Super friendly staff. read more

This comps has good coffee and cider but their pastries and muffins taste as if they had been previously frozen. Good place to get a drink.

This place has such a cool vibe! They do play spiritual/ religious music. That's not totally my thing but the people were super kind and helpful. Service was excellent and the hot chocolate and cider were delicious. read more

Catalyst Coffee Company - Entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Greeneville, Tennessee

Loved this coffee shop that I found just before they closed on Saturday evening (headed to a show at the Capitol Theater!) The staff was friendly & obviously proud of their shop & its motto. They truly seem to care about local issues & causes. My mocha was delicious & I returned for another, but too late -- they were closed. :P I will stop by when I find myself, again, in Greeneville! :) read more

Catalyst Coffee Company - a sign on the wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Greeneville, Tennessee

A recommendation from my older brother, I have already gone here more than once on vacation and it's only 3 days in. The coffee is served in these ceramic cups, and the whole shop is quaint, very peaceful. It's a perfect Christian cafe in town. You can definitely tell it's a Christian coffee shop because of the music, displays, and even souvenirs you will come across there. It can be difficult to know what song is playing if you are looking to discover new gospel music, but the what they do play is quite soothing. The baristas who work there are friendly and really help sell the image this shop is going for. You could come here any day and be greeted as if you were one of them, and I say this as someone who lives far away from Tennessee. So far, what I've had here is pretty good. Warmed up chocolate muffin, an apple turnover, and the Elvis Frappe. They're all done quite well. This is definitely worth a visit or two if you are in this area. read more

Excellent local coffee shop located on Main St. and accessible from the General Morgan Inn. They have a variety of drinks and it's obvious that they use high quality coffee beans. If you want quality, independent coffee, this is your spot in Greeneville. In addition to having great coffee and food, the shop seems to be dedicated to good causes. As evidenced by the name, Catalyst, it's a catalyst for those missions. The shop has seating in two separate rooms and the area where you order. These are kind of hidden from view when you walk in. Very nice space. Since it's inside the General Morgan building, it also has a unique historical setting. Overall: highly recommended! read more

We stopped by while traveling through town. What a great coffee shop. They have their story posted on the wall along with other Christian uplifting signs. They play Christian music which is also very soothing. We had Americano with raspberry and hazelnut and plain brewed coffee with an everything bagel and raspberry white chocolate scone. The coffee and food were both served quickly and tasted great. We sat in the front window and watching the soft rain. It made a great way to start the day traveling. Highly recommend! read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop I stumbled upon this GEM. It is so uplifting to go into a coffee shop that promotes Christianity and they do it in such a classy way they have a prayer wall Where you can leave luggage looking tags with an inspirational message. Their coffee is also high quality and great . I'm so happy I have an alternative to Starbucks who is anything but Christian and always promotes SATAN's message and mentally ill pronoun tag wearing baristas ! read more

The coffee was good and there is a decent variety of options. It is in a great location on main street.

Always friendly staff here and I enjoy the soothing Christian music they play. Clean bathrooms and sitting areas as well as plenty of windows to let in natural light. I usually get the dark roast and have not had a bad one yet. I miss the lunch menu items they used to have but their snack items are tasty - I especially enjoy a warm cinnamon roll. Also, if you have a portable super computer that you worry about over-heating or need to take an ice bath but hate getting into an icy tub, this is the coffee shop for you as the temperature is well below a comfortable setting if you are here for too long. read more

Always kind staff, order is always correct. Food & drinks are delicious, and the place is always super clean.

Those Blueberry Muffins are incredible ! Gotta love those mocha fraps too! Great setting just to chill !

Excellent service, wonderful ambiance for studying and meeting people, and sweet food.

I walked into this business this morning for the first time to get a cup of coffee before work. The woman that worked there saw me walk in and come up to the register where you place an order. She just looked at me and looked away and went about her her business on whatever she was working on. I don't expect her drop everything on the spot. She could have greeted me and said "good morning I'll be with you in a moment" or at least something like that but she just ignored me. About 2 or 3 minutes I finally had to speak up and say "Hello, good morning." She still didn't respond in a timely manner. When she did respond no smile and her tone of voice wasn't even friendly. She just said "I'm serving that customer over there right now" and that's it and disappeared into the back. There were only two other customers in there so it's not like she was slammed busy. All I wanted was a cup of coffee to go. I waited for about two more minutes and she still never reappeared so I walked out and left because I had to get to work. She was completely rude. I could understand if I said or did something to provoke her but I didn't. Never going back again. read more

Nice little coffee shop. Friendly and helpful staff. The coffee and apple cider are decent. The oatmeal was a little bland, but it was warm and filling. The bagels are also decent but it doesn't seem like they make them there. read more

We stopped in for some lunch and something warm to drink. We ordered our lunches, a hot cider, and a regular coffee. The cider came out, I reminder the girl about my coffee. Our lunches came out, I reminded the guy about my coffee. We finished our lunches. After 25 minutes, still no coffee. I went to the register and asked for my coffee that I had requested several times. I was told "Oh, we had someone quit and walk out today, because 'she didn't feel appreciated. Did you want that for here?" First, your staffing issues have NOTHING to do with your ability to pour a cup of coffee. Second, you NEVER tell a customer anything like that. EVER. Third, and this one is pretty important, so pay attention guy at the register: Chemex coffee and pour overs are NOT the same thing. You probably also shouldn't tell the customers you were serving as we were leaving "yeah, I don't really know how to make them or what the difference is". Buddy, YOU WORK IN A COFFEE SHOP!!! And finally, thanks for not putting the lid on my coffee (that is over roasted). When I stepped off the curb, the lid flew off and the coffee went all over me and burned my hands. Great job all around. ‍ read more

Awesome coffee... the scones are incredible and made onsite!!! great sandwiches and soups!!! And staff are so kind. This is a hidden gem in Greeneville TN. I'll be back just for this place !!! read more

Dropped in to take a look yesterday. Hubby and I both got a Chai Latte. Tasty. The staff fell short of what I would call friendly, though they were efficient . Nice spot, with a couple of room off the main entrance where can meet, or work, or read. Good spot to meet a friend and hang out. read more

Best place in town for coffee. Well, I mean it was the only place I even saw around downtown for a cup o' joe. I have to say that it was delicious! I only ordered a simple drip so I could sip up and then finish on my merry way. But the interior is breathtaking. I love coffee shops nestled in old historic buildings. The high ceilings in here expose so much natural lighting to set you up for any kind of homework or reading, etc. And the service was friendly. Hey, it's not like Catalyst is the best cafe I've ever been to. But you'd be nitpicky to try and find something wrong. And I do think it's the best spot in the entire town. read more

Catalyst has great seating, great WiFi, and great service. They also have great lunch and great coffee. One thing I wish they would do is make their chemex method more prominent- I always forget they have it. If you are ever in Greenville, this is a definite stop that you need to make. Park in the back. read more

When you stay at the General Morgan Inn they give you a card good for $7.00 at the coffee company. I had 2 coupons and laid them both on the counter. I ordered a Ham egg & cheese sandwich and an apple turnover. I was told I still owed over $2.00. I told the girl that one coupon was for the sandwich and the second coupon was for the apple turnover. She said she had already rung up the sale and I owed the balance. I told her to just give me my coupons back and forget everything. She refused since she had already rung up the sale. I am not used to having people STEAL from a 79 years old man, but she sure did. We walked out with nothing and they STOLE from the General Morgan as well as me. read more
