This place makes great strong coffee. I usually order the cubano and its perfect every time! I love to get their breakfast sausage sandwich. They also offer a variety of pasties which are fresh and delicious.

The people are not polite at all. The barista ask me to abandoned the place after my order was ready. I have my mask on and I was just sending an email from my iPhone there were no more customers inside the store so the 6 feet distance was not an issue. I was not even using their wifi connection. I explain her I was about to leave but just finishing an email and she told me again that I was not supposed to stay in the place. Of course I let her know I will leave ASAP I finished my email and also I remember her that I was not even eating at the location and that I had my mask on. The team make you feel like a homeless more than a customer. So nop! No more money for Catahoula! They need to elevate their customer service to match their product quality.

Although Catahoula is in a somewhat random stretch of San Pablo Ave., its worth finding.The coffee is delicious. If youve grown tired of over roasted chain coffee, try this. Theres also a location on 4th St. south of University Ave.

Dont miss this coffee shop treasure - you know the place only the lucky locals know about. Charming outdoor grounds - the best coffee in the Bay area.

Great coffee!! Wifi is fast and they dont mind people hanging out working/studying. Highly recommend. They have bagels, pastries, and breakfast burritos/muffins. Pastries and bagels go fast because they are so good.

Catahoula coffee is my new place to go for coffee in Richmond. Angie prepares the most beautiful and delicious Mex-mocha in the east bay area. Their service is great, their prices are reasonable and they keep their shop spotless.

Good coffee, good lattes, good mocha espresso ground coffee bags. Price is moderate to low-ish, but quality is top notch.So all-in-all, good drinks/food, good price, good options, good staff. Which is why I would recommend Catahoula.

Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Great breakfast burritos and pastries. They really know how to make a latte. Perfect temperature so no burnt flavor. They roast their own beans. My favorite cafe in Richmond and Berkeley.

I love this place... Friendly staff, really good drinks (plain coffee and fancy ones} and a laid back local vibe. My favorites are the mexi-mocha and iced coffee! Parking lot out back, and you get a free drink after every 10 you purchase.

Just stopped for a quick coffee and bite on my way home. I like Starbucks and Petes, but I really like supporting local businesses like this sweet little coffee house. Coffee was lovely, the hand pie delicious, the bathroom clean, the decor fun, locals leisurely. Pro parking tip: when arriving from the highway, drive past the exit driveway immediately beyond the coffee shop and enter in the next driveway after the merry maids. Or maybe the coffee house could do better with signage. 😁

Review №44

Great place, great espresso drinks. Not cheap, but that first sip (and every gulp after that) is worth it. I am greeted with smiles at 7 a.m. on Sundays. I consider myself lucky to live nearby. We no longer patronize Peets and have long abandoned Starbucks.

Review №45

I stopped in on 8/9/19 to buy a pound of coffee. The aroma was delightful! I was already looking forward to my Saturday morning coffee. There were plenty of bags of coffee available but no description of type of roast. I drink my coffee black and strong and no sugar so I didnt want a light roast. There was also no one behind the counter to help me. I admit, I only waited 5 minutes before walking out empty handed. I see no need to give them another try.

Review №46

I started coming in here last year on a whim. I’ve been drinking coffee for over 50 years. I was a die-hard Peets fan for years. Note that I said “was”. From my first cup, I found like I had rediscovered coffee. This is by far the best coffee in the SF Bay Area. Their daily coffee is rich, earthy, woody, and nutty. Complex. Doesn’t taste like burnt dirt like Starbucks does. It is now the only coffee I buy to keep at home. I am particular fond of their Lola blend, ground for pour-over cone drip. The staff is so polite, always with a smile. Their location is not in the best place in the world, but their coffee is so good that it is changing the face of the community. I’ve gone in there and seen retired people, hipsters, families with kids, police officers (THEY DON’T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE BLUE UNIFORM! THANK YOU), gangsters, blue collar, white collar all putting their differences aside to share in the treat that is Catahoula.

Delicious coffee, reasonable prices, but the line was a little long. However, the coffee was very much worth the wait. The goth barista was very sweet and she helped me find the perfect coffee beans. Great experience, will be visiting other locations soon.

Review №51

When coffee is good - it is rare. When you find good coffee - you tell everyone - because everyone deserves a good cup of coffee. This, my friends, is not good coffee. It is Awesome Coffee! It is so good, I would still go there to order one if the line was a out the door and down San Pablo (that has never happened, but to make a point) I would wait. Also, the Cold Brew is great - and I am fussy. As a former Barista, constant coffee fanatic, if I could give more stars - I would! If you have not gone here... GO!

Ja
Review №52

I had to come back and edit this review – I already put in a 5 star rating, but today one of the baristas walked around and asked people individually if they wanted more coffee. Ive never had that experience in any other casual coffee place! They also have great taste in music. Love this place.

Ch
Review №53

Nice casual vibe for a Sat hangout. They roast their own coffee plus have a handful of good things to eat like croissants, cookies, quiche and vegan muffins.The place also hosts great community events. Recently they held a customer appreciation day where there were crafts, an animal petting zoo for kids, live music, wood fired pizza and microbrewed beer.

Review №54

Not impressed. They were out of anything worth eating and a plain unsweetened ice tea was $4.00. The place is small and cramped. Highly overrated, but its probably the best Richmond has to offer.

Review №55

Catahoula is my go-to coffee house and roaster. Yes - roaster! They used to roast right in the shop, but the demand from local restaurants and better food stores caused them to expand their roasting - and their storefront just didnt have room.The staff is knows their coffee. They also serve pastries baked by local small businesses.Its always been busy when I went, but not loud. When Ive gone to sit and sip, Ive always managed to strike up nice conversations with people I dont know.

Review №56

Fast service, tasty food, reasonably priced, ALWAYS GREETED WITH A SMILE, kid-friendly and they have a small variety of books to read there or take home (just bring one back).Best of all, Catahoula has a variety of Great Tasting Coffees, whether you drink it for a boost in the morning or to just sip on a cup after a meal, I recommend Catahoula Coffees, ALL THE TIME!!!! ☕💖

Review №57

The coffee was good and reasonably priced, but the coffee shop was really loud. Most of the people were either talking loudly on their phones (for at least 30 minute calls) or having loud work meetings (other people commented and went outside because it was so loud). It’s too small of a venue to allow people to work on their phones.

So far, it is a fantastic place with a great service. Their coffee is amazing and I appreciate that it is possible to purchase half a pound of each of them so I can try them all (slowly:-). Their coffee is expensive, although really good...okay, perhaps the best I have ever had (Brazilan, Peru and 3 Amigos...are so far my favorite). Some cost $18 and others $23 per pound. This is a lot. And for this, I take one star away. Sorry.

Review №64

I grew up near this place and used to come here with my mom a lot when I was little and I loved it. I went back the other day and it was totally different, it was all bourgeois and annoying and the coffee is way overpriced. $5 for an iced latte? I was disappointed and sad that the place I used to know is gone now. It used to be a good part of my neighborhood but now it seems like part of gentrification in Richmond.

Review №66

Grumpy staff, long lines, coffee is nothing special and just a teabag plus hit water cost four dollars. The coffee is nothing special.No stevia sweetener (duh! even Starbucks has stevia)...just a few cramped places to hang out.“Serving breakfast” as one review said is a stretch. They will sell you a pastry.Have not been to the new one in Point Richmond. Maybe that is better. But I just don’t get why everybody is so thrilled about this company. I think people are just being gracious because it’s local. Gracious or hoodwinked and hypnotized.

I stumbled upon Catahoula Coffee while on a work trip to Richmond, CA. I ordered an Americano, it was excellent. The roast was not bitter at all but rather rich, and very smooth.The staff was very friendly and the patrons were very pleasant.There was no where to sit, so I took my drink with me.I wish I had a coffee shop like this near where I live.Keep up the good work.
