    White chocolate mocha's

    Great service, coffee is great and the place has plenty of space to sit back, sip and relax!

    Cardamom latte

    I love coffee. Deeply, passionately, completely. Catalyst is the best coffee I've ever had east of the Cascades, and it's in my top 5 lattes I've ever had in my life. Part of the reason is the quality of their beans (deep, slightly woody); part of the reason is the quality of the brewing (no burnt taste). I also really appreciated that they made many of their syrups in-house, and that they had some unusual choices (I tried both the cardamom and the smoked maple; smoked maple was my favorite but both were excellent). We had breakfast sandwiches and pastries both days when we were in Yakima, and they were also great. The space is in part of a church, so looks the part with stained glass windows and a cozy feel. They've also deviated with quite a few plants, which I loved. Service was also good. There was only one person working but he managed the line and the summons and food very well. When I'm back in Yakima, I'll definitely be visiting again.

    Best place in town. Awesome selection of craft/ house made syrups, drinks, food, and baked goods. A ton of bags of coffee for sale from lots of different roasters from around the US as well as outside the US. This is a neighborhood cafe, the owners are incredible people, and it's a place that you want to go to, for work, hanging with friends or chatting with the other people there. Don't miss out, do yourself a favor and stop by!

    Great main area

    Our kiddos go to school just down the alley from this little coffee shop, so when I was dropping off our little man today, I figured I should try this place out. It's a super cool, very relaxed, little spot in the back of the vineyard church downtown. It was started by a couple who had been up this direction as youth pastors, moved away, and wanted to come back to the area. Walking through the door in an alley left my expectations pretty low, and as soon as you walk in they were brought right back up! The back room has maintained the character and aesthetics of the old Rock church building and added just enough modern flair to make it comfortable. A little bit of wall art combined with hundred year old stained glass windows makes for a perfect small coffee shop! The place is very simple with a number of tables and chairs in the main seating area and a beautiful side room with some larger, fluffier sitting options! It looks like a perfect place to go study, think or have a deep and meaningful conversation. The extra room honestly gave the place the five star bump! They have some solid cavitation options and my depth charge - a drip coffee with a couple shots in it - Was done very nicely. They sell homemade syrups here and even have a drop off bin for the Union Gospel Mission. I'm pretty excited that this place is right next to the drop off for our kiddos... It's going to make caffeinating a lot easier!

    Not a big coffee drinker but I will always stop by Catalyst to get my fix. The guy behind the counter was very nice and friendly. Seems like a decent dude. The Fancy Lady breakfast sandwich is my favorite. Great atmosphere and feels good to support local small businesses.

    Iced oat milk latte

    Yummy coffee! I got an oat milk ice latte with cinnamon. Great service and beautiful space! I loved the stain glass windows. The fancy lady sandwich was great.

    Specials

    Craft coffee and stylish coffee art. Good quality beans and quaint/cozy space with easily accessible restrooms. Lots of plants so you get extra oxygen with your caffeine. We ordered all the specials and they were great.

    Great little third wave shop. Probably the only really quality coffee shop in Yakima. Stoked to have found it on my drive through. Great working zone as well plenty of seats, good lighting and great vibes. Plants were fab as well

    Super cool laid back coffee shop. Fantastic service and great coffee. Worth a stop if you are Downtown Yakima. Truly a gem of a place.

    10/10 coffee and 10/10 atmosphere. This coffee shop is built into an old church giving it the coziest feel, I would definitely recommend.

The pineapple was a crisp refreshing stand out dark horse. I probably wouldn't have ordered pineapple that was my husband's choice, but it was definitely my favorite. We also tried strawberry, mango, and orange. That is my order of deliciousness as well. I had the California eggs benny, they brought it with gluten free bread. The Benny was on point. The first slice revealed a luscious silky egg yolk. I felt like I needed a drum roll for the most perfect poached eggs! Hats off to the chef! My husband had the steak and eggs, with sourdough toast. I think he licked the plate. The steak was also perfectly pink in the center. My son chose the berry crepes, they were covered in berries. He enjoyed his breakfast. Don't skip out on sausage. We added sausage, the little plump sausages were a great addition to the sweet crepes. My daughter is a little breakfast picky, but their fruit bowl was impressive. She loved that the fruit was sweet and the presentation was standing up. We also ordered the corn chowder from the specialty menu. It was delicious, but lots of food. We took it to go!

Service was nice but it was hard to get things ordered and moving even after seated. This place was understaffed 2. Espresso drinks were not that good. I had coffee bean residual in my latte 3. The fried chicken sandwich was a major letdown. It was so dry and chewy Again, service was friendly but the food/coffee quality plus the long wait time was a bummer

It's got a great location just off the main street in downtown, and was quite a lovely little space. Very much designed for people to come in, spread out and converse, it was a very warm and inviting sort of spot. The coffee offerings have a definite, Mexican flare to them, and were very nice. They had standard offerings and then a number of specials on a sort of fresh sheet. They had plenty of coffee and Mexican culturally centric items for sale as well as some clothing. Nice stuff to look through and most would find something they enjoy! The pictures in the wall were as expected, until I saw a print that read "Excess in Moderation". I found out it's by an artist named Ravi Zupa and now it may be my favorite picture! Back to the coffee - The ladies working here were very friendly and everything came out quick. All in all, a really cool spot with a great local vibe and pizzazz running throughout! You should check it out.
