We decided to come here because they make their own flavor syrups and I love that kind of thing. I'm a huge fan! I'm pregnant so no coffee but their chai is the best I've had! I also got the "croffle" sandwich and it was absolutely killer. My friend got the everything bagel with cream cheese, bagel was awesome and had the perfect amount of cream cheese on it. She also said her latte (caramel vanilla) was great! The gentleman who took our order was so nice and friendly and explained some menu items for me. The food and drinks came out super fast too! The atmosphere is exactly what you want out of Collegetown, chill and comfortable. The chairs are also great, which is a silly side note but so many cafes have uncomfortable chairs I don't want to sit in for more than 10 minutes!

Tried this little family owned cafe on Gaines St. this morning for breakfast and it was great! Food and coffee was hot and full of flavor and staff was very friendly. I had a breakfast bowl with egg, grilled veggies, provolone cheese, and bacon and my husband had the French toast sandwich. Definitely will be back!

Catalina Cafe has become a favorite of mine while working in Railroad Square. I make a pit stop every time I can to get a super yummy coffee, a treat, and have a pleasant interaction with the employees here. They are some of the sweetest people ever, even when they are swamped they take the time to explain the menu to you. Due to dietary restrictions, I went in today and asked them if they had anything that would fit my needs, and the cook even came out to say what they could make for me. That is SO kind, especially in a busy college town. Always good food, always great coffee, and thank you guys for being so welcoming!

Catalina Cafe is such a cute little coffee shop in Tallahassee CollegeTown. I love trying their seasonal coffee flavors, and they always hit. The Zoe’s Revenge coffee is such a good flavor iced coffee to try. If you’re not a coffee person, their Hibiscus Berry Tea. It’s a cute spot to go study, a lunch date, or just to grab coffee and food to go.

This place is absolutely adorable and has such a cozy vibe. The service was excellent, the food surpassed expectations, and the atmosphere was incredibly inviting. It had that unmistakable college town charm – a perfect spot for enjoying good food, good company, and even squeezing in some school or work!

A nice, small coffee shop. I loved my Colombian coffee pour over: worth the wait for that classic cup.
The murals are lively, keeping the space from feeling dull.
It was quite cold the day we went, but I can imagine in better weather with the overhead doors open it would be pure delight.
We tried the Build your Bowls. Baked and cubed scrambled eggs is a clever base. Ours arrived hot and generously topped.
I didn’t rate as 5 star due to the sleepy pace of service and that the gal behind the counter answered questions about the coffee with “I don’t really know.” Everyone is allowed to be new at a job. Hopefully, she’ll find out for next time.

We were in town while my husband was on a worktrip, and after reading the reviews, decided to give this place a try! So glad we did. We ended up eating breakfast here 2 days in a row. Food and drinks were delicious, and staff was friendly.
