Lovely place”overly coffee. Dog friendly when we were unfortunately there was a dog that wouldn’t stop barking at others, not the staffs fault. But people should keep reactive dogs home, I wouldn’t take my to a place this for the same reason

Very disappointing when menu changed.
Significant reduction in options such as pancakes and french and the vegiterian breakfast. Hopefully these options are added back one day however for now it's disappointing.
Great service and nice atmosphere however no longer as good for vegiterian/ vegan breakfasts.

The new menu was a huge letdown for us. Choice and Food was disappointing, nothing like it used to be (compare the two photos!) Won't be coming back 😭
This was my original review, with the first photo. :: One of my favourite cafés of all time, great service and fantastic food every time we visit. And dog friendly which is a huge plus for us!

Always one of my favourite places in Bray for lunch. This place has had the best flavoured soups in the town for years. Sadly, soup seems to have disappeared off the new shorter menu. However, the avocado dish is still excellent and the new French toast is really delicious👍🏽 BRING BACK SOUP 🥴

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 !

First time visiting this cafe and will be back. It was a beautiful sunny day and there was a couple of tables outside on street and customers availing of the good weather.
Situated on the Florence Rd in Bray just of the main street. Good location. Great parking around the area some of it is paid parking.
Wheelchair accessible, all on the flat. Much bigger on the inside than what you would think from the outside. A number of tables inside.
A nice selection on the menu. Good value.
The Staff are very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you.
A lovely atmosphere.
Would definitely recommend a visit.
Child friendly.
