Food and service are really good. The prices are very reasonable.
Price is low, food is tasty
Highly recommend my two favorite things here:Breakfast burrito (best breakfast burrito in Columbia)Buffalo chicken chopped saladFresh food and friendly staffSpecial shout out to Doug for his high quality of customer service
Although the people working here are very pleasant (they really are), it takes a very long time for 3 or 4 workers to make a sandwich. Every. Time. Even if there are only 1 or two other customers. It is as if no one has a plan to serve the orders in any kind of timely way. They only stock small amounts of bottles drinks that sell out in the first hour of lunch, so if you can't take your break until later, you have to settle for beverages, or go without.Additionally, as the only place to get coffee on this whole block of campus, the coffee is more 'water dressed in brown' as Ani would say, which is shameful because the local coffee brand served isn't as bad as Catalyst makes it. Extremely weak coffee. Coffee drinkers want to taste the coffee. We leave the building in groups and walk 2 blocks for better coffee several times a week. Catalyst has potential to do better.
Wonderful place to hang out and get coffee. Their breakfast burritos are great!
Food is great and the people working are always so pleasant to interact with.
Keeps running out of normal coffee and gives decaff instead without telling us.
Chip reader would not work, even though I had a new card. REFUSED service to me and was very rude. Even though I asked to try it again or if there was another form of payment We could try. Guy with glasses told me to just forget it. TERRIBLE. Please go somewhere else on campus because this place does not care about their customers!
Premade sandwiches are wet, soaggy.
Good but overpriced food

Tasty, quick food at lower prices than pretty much any other establishment on campus. Plus, very close to the research labs I spend time in
Catalyst Cafe is perfect for coffee and a sweet treat or a delicious lunch from the contemporary menu. Catalyst Cafe serves Kaldi's© coffee and Numi© tea and offers the best specialty salads around.
Don't get the pasta salad or ceasar salad. They are distgusting and over priced! The grilled chicken is served ice cold. Go for the breakfast sandwhiches instead! Cheap and delicious!
Time for that pick-me-up, eh? Enjoy some freshly brewed Kaldi's coffee and a sweet pastry. Or maybe you just need some food to keep you going -- try a delicious sandwich or salad. You can't go wrong.
