Catalyst Coffee — Restaurant in Yakima

UPDATE!!! Catalyst Coffee makes the very Chai Tea - FROM SCRATCH - chai tea!!! The owner was working the counter today and explained that they use a mortar and pestle to grind up the spices for chai tea. I’m not sure if I know of any other restaurants or coffee shops that do this for chai tea latte, but it’s amazing tasting! This is a labor of love, indeed. Thank you Catalyst for putting in effort to make things amazing! ❤️ they also sell a couple of breakfast sandwiches, I highly recommend the “Fancy” (I get mine without an egg and it’s delicious).

I’m in love! It’s a delightful atmosphere, the pastries are gluten free (and some are also vegan/gluten free… AND VERY WELL PRICED!!!), and I am greatly enjoying my Chai Tea Latte made with Oat Milk. So excited to see this place open in Yakima! Thank you so much, Catalyst Coffee! ❤️ We will definitely be back.

Price samples: 20oz Chai Tea Latte = $5.00 8oz Chai Tea Latte = $3.50 Gluten Free Vegan Moon Cookie = $2.50!!! Gluten Free Scone = $4.00

*the owner explained that the pastries are delivered raw and frozen and that they bake them here. Truly a blessing for people that have food restrictions or preferences to pay “normal” cafe...

Swung into Catalyst while visiting from out of town and looking for a spot to get some work done, for a couple hours. So glad I checked this place out! The shop is tucked away in the corner of an older church with beautiful stained glass windows. Inside the shop is cozy, with plenty of seating, and super cute decor (gotta love a place with plants, old books, and arm chairs). I enjoyed a breakfast sandwich and a smoked maple latte while working, and took a drip coffee with me for the road. Sandwich was solid, and both the espresso and drip were perfection (loved the syrup in the latte, especially). Also, got a chance to chat with Alaena, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations for other places to check out (and the music playlist was on point!) If you're in the area and looking for some great coffee, in a cozy spot, with great service, I highly recommend checking...

If you want coffee made by the #1 barista in town, look no further!

James is knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to coffee.

He’s spent years perfecting his craft. In a word, what can you expect?

Excellence.

You will not find a better cup of joe in town, guaranteed.

What’s more, Catalyst Coffee is located in a charming church building with an atmosphere that’s suitable for meetings, getting deep work done, or just relaxing to read in a comfortable chair.

I recommend the cozy nook with the stained glass windows, a truly special coffee shop experience.

Excellent blends and single origin coffees available, alongside caffeine free options and small bites and pastries.

The internet is good too,...
