Vegetarian & vegan choicesFriendly staffBreakfast
The vegetarian Irish breakfast at Catalyst Cafe was absolutely outstanding, easily standing out as one of the best cafe meals I’ve ever had. I was particularly impressed by the French toast, which featured a unique, custom flavor profile that was truly memorable. The staff was absolutely amazing, making the entire experience even better. I highly recommend visiting !
10/10 experience! Great service by the lovely waitress Lucy! We got the vegan fry up and it was great price for the portion! We also got the porridge which was only €8 for such a great taste and selection of toppings! The egg on toast and breakfast potatoes also 10/10! I got a mocha and it was so good! The interior is so cool and its dog friendly! Highly recommend 🙌
Our vegan friend brought us here to get the vegan fry up and he loved it. For me personally these were the best eggs in all of Ireland, I wish I ordered more! Wait staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Very cute little spot. Parking garage nearby.
