Catalyst Coffee - Beach in Bray

Great spot on Bray front, short hop from the beach. Plenty of street parking, quick service. Indoor and outdoor seating, dog friendly. Courteous, professional staff, reasonable prices.

Great space inside - lovely for a cold winters day! Tip: Ask for your coffee extra hot if you don’t want a lukewarm drink.

Delicious food, good ice matcha and AMAZING playlist! Definitely recommend!

Excellent as always. Coffee amazing

Love the coffee. And very enjoyable beside the beach

Great vibe and super cosy. The coffee was delicious but I was a little disappointed they don't offer cooked food options.

Love the vibe and concept of this cafe. Prime location and so much seating too. Also happy they have vegan options. However, they run out of food so often by mid-morning on the weekends. It's always busy so they could be making a lot more money if they produced enough food for the crowd. The service is very slow at busy times too. They also only have two small toastie machines so you're often waiting quite a while for the toastie. The price for the toasties is ridiculous but the breakfast burrito (when it's not sold out) is better value. Also, not sure why they never ask if people are having their coffee in the cafe or for takeaway.. they seem to always serve drinks in takeaway cups by default unless you specify. Seems like a waste of money for them and not sustainable. The staff are generally friendly enough but seem more interested in talking to each other than serving customers or clearing tables.

Love this place! It’s always clean and cozy, with great coffee and food. The staff are genuinely friendly, and that beach view never gets old.

Nice tea and hot coffee. The vibe was great and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend after walking along the sea front.

The restrooms are average. Their ordering process is a little different than what you might experience in your country. You order at the register (like Starbucks) but don't know when your order will arrive, which is very confusing. The waiting area (from my perspective) is congested precisely for this reason. You have a long wait if you're in a hurry, about 10 minutes. The staff, although friendly, don't explain anything; they just charge you.
