Catalina Coffee

Catalina Coffee is one of those spots that immediately feels dialed in—from service to coffee to overall vibe. If you appreciate high-quality coffee done right, this is your place. Rwandan blend (Gold Cup pour-over) Hibiscus tea Oatmeal cranberry cookie The standout was the coffee. The Rwandan blend through the Gold Cup pour-over was clean, balanced, and full of nuanced flavor. You can tell there’s real attention to sourcing and preparation—it’s the kind of cup that makes you slow down and actually enjoy it. Order Summary: - Rwandan pour-over: excellent — clean, balanced, and well executed - Hibiscus tea: great — a little tart, but not in a bad way - Oatmeal cranberry cookie: excellent — moist, flavorful, and cooked perfectly Service was a highlight. Friendly, genuine, and backed by real knowledge of the menu. Recommendations felt intentional, not forced, which elevated the whole experience. Value is exceptional for the quality you’re getting, especially considering the level of care put into the coffee. The vibe is where this place really lands—modern, comfortable, and easy to settle into whether you’re working or just relaxing. Parking isn’t perfect, but manageable for the area. Final verdict: A high-quality coffee spot that actually delivers on both product and experience. This is the kind of place you wish you had back home. Crave Factor: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Would absolutely come back—this is a go-to spot) P.S. Went back a few days later and had the Gold Cup Rwanda again. This coffee is absolutely a show stopper. Well done, Catalina. Now, open one in Boise, ID 😁

I love Catalina! They serve Amaya roast which is amazing this place also is a little sentimental for me, I opened up a brick and mortar retail business in 2017 and this was the only coffee shop in the area at the time. Their coffee filled me and my dreams for almost 10 years! Don’t get me started on the pastries, absolutely perfect. My favorite drink here is actually a black coffee drip. A mole seating inside, free parking. Eclectic crowd.

Good barista work. The understand their skill. You will find here independent roasters and good espresso. Selection was two rather nutty and earthy beans. They have almond milk. Big no-no for me is the paper cups they can not sell anything but espresso on ceramic... Still a good place for a decent espresso experience

Good coffee, no question. They don't leave the tab open to continue to purchase more items nor buy gor your late arriving friends. No windows on a whole side of the store. No power outlets. Only one size for the lattes. But they do have exterior seating. In front of the store is interesting to watch the city drive by and some people watching. 👀 Lol Paid street parking in front of the store on Washington, or plenty of parking behind the store. Arrive in the late afternoon for your latte, then walk over about 20 steps to Darkhorse Tavern for some cheap drinks and a good time at this cool dive bar.

Way better than the big brand coffee houses, both in taste and service. Sunday mornings usually have chill, very respectful group of car enthusiasts who bring rare and unique vehicles. Everyone is so friendly and it's fun to hear their stories of how they came across their vehicles and what they mean to them.
