I love this place, this is my favorite coffee shop in London. This guys know how to make people feel special, the quality of food is amazing, selection of coffee-in house roasted magnificent.
All their meals are great - salmon wrap, grilled Mediterranean veg ciabatta, roast beef sandwich, or go for one of their brunch specials or seasonal salads.
This place is not to be missed, it deserves to be in top 100 places to visit in London.
So if you are visiting Leather Lane, Clerkenwell, Chancery Lane or walking from St Paul's towards Covent Garden use the opportunity and visit Catalyst. You will love it!
Amazing food and service. The staff at Catalyst are the best. They take pride in the preparation and quality of the food and can answer any question you have about the menu. And they always do it with a smile. The food is delicious - my favourite is the salmon salad. My office is nearby and I'm there for lunch almost weekly. I am so impressed with this little gem.
The coffees I've had as takeaways and inside have always been good and the same is true of beans I've bought. The service is always helpful and friendly
The food today was quite tasty, although the menu is very small and I don't think £14 for aubergine and peppers on toast is a fair price, even with recent inflation. The club sandwiches on as a special looked excellent and I had some food envy as they came up from the kitchen.
Overall, Catalyst is a great asset to the area.
Keep up the good work
Great filter coffee ( v60)
They have their own coffee beans as well
Staff were great but needs to be more welcoming
Shakshouka were nice but I’m not sure it’s the right recipe
Pricy
Atmosphere isn’t the best seating not comfortable and it smelled bad
Not much of sweet menu
The best hot chocolate I've ever had! Tasted like melted chocolate. Also very good coffee and I had the aubergine sandwich and it was lush! Very heavy and I'd say bit pricey but the staff are lovely and service is quick. Only a small cafe but enough for us to work for a couple hours.
Got introduced to Catalyst by a lawyer friend of mine who works in the area, and I must say, you should never take a lawyer's opinion lightly! :) Coffee here is just the best in London that I could find - and plus a very warm and cozy vibe for work, chill, or just an escape from London's merciless rains.
The coffee and food were so good I never want to brush my teeth! Every last detail was perfect. Great flavors. Comfortable atmosphere. Super service.
Another noteworthy coffee spot to stop by if you’re looking for a well brewed coffee to take away or a place to sit down in a quiet atmosphere in central London.
This cafe is located right by the Leather Lane markets on a nondescript street. So surprised to find delicious coffee and Greek food here. The staff are really friendly, there's some communal tables and seats for people who want to eat in, as well as benches to sit outside. The granola at breakfast is not too be missed - heavenly! Will be back to try the lunch and dinner fare.
I had their greek breakfast and coffee. Great coffee and great food!
Best coffee in town! Delicious breakfast as well. Bring home a bottle of their coffee infused hot sauce and put it on everything - eggs, pork, salads. Delicious!
Excellent coffee! We ended up buying a few bags of freshly roasted beans to take home after trying it. Didn't have any food, but it looked delicious — need to return next time we're in London.
