Taste of Catawba

Better come by before little Catawba blow up like everything around Lake Norman. Lennar is building new overprice carboard housings 1/2 mile away. Right now you will experience warming service and great food and drinks. No problem with parking and price is very affordable for freshly cook food and bread. Breakfast English muffin is $5.50, Mcmuffin is $3.50. The $2 difference is worth it. bigger size, fresh, healthier. If I liven nearby I probably will come everyday. I am still surprise this exist in a small town. Love that they refurbish the use of old buildings. Sitting area is huge for a cafe, I think they host small gatherings sometimes which make sense. Downtown Catawba is very small but does provide a comfortable feeling. We'll see what happens in 10 year.

This is a sweet, cozy café. All the baked offerings are made in-house and taste amazing. Try the biscuits and gravy,it will change your life. The coffee selection is incredible. Go and check it out.

So first, the food and the drink! I had an amazing jalapeño cheddar breakfast sammich, with egg and sausage and cream cheese.. to die for! Also, amazing coffee! Perfectly temped, good flavor. Paired well and all for under $15 WITH a tip! While these things are important, I wanted to talk about the integrity of this place. My coworker and I went in for a quick bite before a spa day, and I was brought to unexpected tears driving away. We walked in right at open, sat quietly in the window and observed the place, people quickly pulled in, the team pulled together from 1 woman to 3. As the crowd died, a young man who worked there walked in, rushed really. He sped behind the counter, apologetic as all get out and who I assume is the manager spoke to him and it touched my soul. She told him not to ever speed, that it was okay he was, not to beat himself up, and she was just happy he was safe and alive and that’s all that mattered. From a person whose had many abusive bosses as a teenager, from a person who has severe anxiety about being on time because I was told 15 minutes early is on time, a person who was fired for having an appendectomy at 20 years old, you ma’am, you made my day and he will forever remember your kindness. You created an atmosphere that warmed my heart and unknowingly may have healed his. Because of teams like yours, the world is a better place and creates better employees. You matter and I’m blessed to have witnessed the interaction. Keep doing great things.

I am French and let me tell you, Erin’s Friday croissants, chocolate or almond are the best I have had since I left France 12 years ago. Taste of Catawba is a must go to place. The service is great and friendly and even if croissants are not your thing, they have plenty of delicious drinks and food for you!

Best coffee and breakfast around by far! Along with fresh baked goodies and bread everyday I recommend this place to everyone! We love it and thank you all!

Nice spot in an older bldg on 'main st' Catawba. This was my coffee destination this morning, but I didn't realize all of the other vices of mine they could satisfy. Ended up with a breakfast sandwich, sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. The muffin was nothing like what you get from a grocery store. This thing was thick, dense, and toasted just enough. Just really good. The pumpkin latte with a dash of cinnamon hit the spot. I may have also grabbed a cinnamon bun for later. At least later is the plan, but you know what they say about plans. Oh, I'm reasonably certain everything is baked in-house.

This place is a gem! They always have fun flavors of the month to try and they make beautiful, delicious lattes. The coffee flavor is not super strong but the flavors always complement the coffee so well. The pastries are so good! And so are the breakfast sandwiches! Everything is made fresh and you can tell.

Oh my lord. The drip coffee. The lattes. The sandwiches. The muffin tops. Where do I begin??? It’s all out of this world amazing and in cute little downtown Catawba. Couldn’t recommend enough. We will be back for sure.
