Mint tea and blueberry muffin were delicious. The barrister was spot on and friendly. Atmosphere was relaxing and inviting!!!

Best coffee shop in town, it’s a real community and has events going on almost every weekend! Love this place!

I didn’t know this place existed! I biked here on Memorial Day, and immediately noticed the comfy coffee vibe. They had some great chill tunes playing. The cold nitro was smooth n creamy, and refreshing. Loved the glass it was served in, as well as the friendly service. Come and check it out when ya’ll get a chance! I also liked how they DIDN’T say “Welcome in!” in and just said, “Hey man, how’s it going!” lol.

I tend to get a pour over at a coffee shop I haven't been to before. The one I got here was delicious, had good notes and was not weak. Fantastic. I look forward to trying more coffees here in the future!

Catalyst Coffee is a fantastic coffee shop! I go there every Friday, and it’s become a special part of my routine. It’s locally owned, and you can really feel that in the atmosphere — it’s quaint, welcoming, and has a personal touch that big chains just can’t match. The owner is always very kind and takes time to make you feel at home. Whether I’m grabbing a quick cup or sticking around to relax, Catalyst is the perfect spot. Highly recommend supporting this gem of a place!

Need a boost from a dope, local coffee shop? This is your spot! They give a retro vibe with the record player and a relaxing yet uplifting atmosphere! Plus the coffee selection is awesome and delicious! Definitely becoming a regular!

I love this place! Great coffee, pastries, cookies, and positive vibes here! Only coffee shop in my life where I heard some doom, folk, and black metal playing early in the mornings. This metalhead highly recommends this cafe and be sure to grab a maple nitro coffee. I bet the amazing friendly staff will make your experience great as well.

Mediocre, no mocha powder for mochas and customer service is lack luster. Bathroom door does not lock so couldn’t even enjoy that either. Also, based on the owners reply’s to some of the reviews he also seems extremely unpleasant, will never again support this place and I recommend you do not either.
Mike and his team have created a special and welcoming coffee shop for everyone in Albuquerque. I have always received an amazing cup of coffee and great pastries here . It also should be mentioned that Mike's team is always kind , helpful and cares about your coffee ! You want the best Americano , Cold Brew , and Mochas well you have found the right spot . Mike also is an integral part of the Albuquerque small business community . He vends at Railyards almost every weekend and he also does private events for offices , car dealerships and the MOVIE industry . As a small business owner myself and also a IATSE Union Film Member / Maker I am grateful for Mike and his wonderful coffee . Stop in and support local buisness . Catalyst coffee is the BEST !!!!!

Met friends here while visiting from out of town. I'm not a coffee drinker, which means I usually struggle to find something to drink at a coffee shop. Not here... the owner made me the most amazing tea latte with a sweet Souchong tea. It was delicious! I appreciate him going out of his way to find me something I'd like.
