Catahoula Coffee Company
12472 San Pablo Ave, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused Richmond spot serves carefully crafted coffee in a genuinely cozy atmosphere where you can linger with a book or knock out work without feeling rushed. Their specialty drinks shine—think creamy mexi-mochas and seasonal lattes with thoughtful detail—though the single-file service means simple black coffee orders can take longer than you'd expect. It's the kind of place where the baristas clearly care about how your cup tastes, even if the workflow occasionally gets tangled during busy times.”

This place needs to rethink how they are serving their black coffee, it takes a long time in line to get such a simple cup of black coffee so I believe they should have a plan for those who stop by in a hurry for a quick caffeine fix. Maybe a self serve option to improve functionality would change this scenario. Anyways the coffee is good, the long wait isn’t.
The coffee is good, but the service is weirdly slow. I think the barista doesn’t know how to handle multiple orders (getting them going in parallel) and when doing them one at a time, things get very backed up. And the place is tiny and awkwardly laid out, so people bump into one another.
A cozy place to enjoy a really good cup of coffee in a relaxed setting. The drinks are smooth and well-balanced, and everything feels carefully made. It’s an easy spot to unwind, catch up on work, or have a quiet conversation.
Quick stop for a hot drink on a cold day. We were greeted with a smile. Ordered the mexi-mocha with regular milk. We were served rapidly and we were on our way within 4 minutes. Mexi-Mocha is the way to go! They had a few seats and a bathroom that was out of order.
If you want to get an amazing pumpkin spice latte worthy of a Gilmore girls binge watch order here no matter the weather they have iced or hot they are both good. I even loved the little design they gave me
