This place is a classic Houston coffee shop that's been a local favorite for years. The atmosphere is cozy and classic, with a bustling, always-busy vibe. The baristas are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ordered a flat white, and while the coffee was good, it wasn't very strong. The only downside is that the seating isn't the most comfortable, so it's not the ideal spot for a long working/ studying session.

Good coffee at a reasonable price, but the place could really use some renovation and a deep clean—it feels a bit neglected. The outdoor seating is also a downside; the chairs are uncomfortable and awkwardly positioned right up against the building, making it hard to relax and enjoy. Not a fan of the setup overall.

Catalina has been a staple coffee shop in Houston for years. I remember when I used to visit them back when I was in middle school, and I finally visited them again a decade later as a college graduate. It still has that cozy and casual interior with artistic works on the wall, which are available for sale. I got a hot fall spiced latte. The latte has a creamy texture with lots of froth, which I personally really like, and the latte was reasonably priced. Seating can be limited, as the space is quite small. There is parking in the back, but it is shared with a business and can get full. There was also a line, and the wait can take some time. Overall, Catalina Coffee has a vibrant but laid-back atmosphere and emphasizes on no-frills coffee, focusing on the basics, essentials, and consistency.
