Thanks for your support!

Happy 2025, friends!

After a refreshing holiday off for our staff, Catalyst Coffee Bar is open again and we can hardly wait to see you again!

Bar manager Ryan has created three superb new year coffee & tea drinks to welcome you back, including:
Champagne Espresso Tonic: House-made champagne* syrup, tonic, and espresso. *Syrup is made with white grapes, pomegranates, grapefruit zest, and fennel seeds!

Millionaire Latte: Modeled after the millionaire shortbread cookies, this drink is made with sweetened condensed milk, 100% cocoa powder, and espresso.

Sunrise Latte: Big Heart Tea's Sunshine Dust, honey, and Elderflower syrup, and steamed milk!

Our staff is what truly makes Catalyst so special! They each are such beautiful and kindhearted humans and it is an honor to work with our team. We are grateful to begin 2025 with them as well as with you.

Please stop by Catalyst Coffee Bar M-F 8 a.m.-4 p.m. & Sat. 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and support the work of Art Saint Louis (https://www.artstlouis.org) (which owns & operates Catalyst). And please make plans to visit the Gallery beginning January 11 when it reopens with the "Gasp" juried exhibition featuring works by STL regional visual artists.

When the drink that the barista —this time, it’s Todd—makes for himself is this lovely, you know that your drink will be just as carefully crafted. Where?! Only at Catalyst Coffee Bar/Art Saint Louis at 2801 Locust in Midtown St. Louis, of course.

Stop by before end of day Thursday, December 19 to see our 40th annual “Art St. Louis, The Exhibition”
