Catalyst has three branches, one in Dun Laoghaire and two in Bray. I have visited all three and beach one was disappointing. Ordered the Italian w/chicken, sandwich tasted fine but the price is just too much, €15 for a sandwich & ice mocha is really expensive.
Ordered an Ice Mocha and was not good at all. Also went around 11am, it was not busy but they took too much time to serve the sandwich. And i actually went to the Florence Villas first but they are not serving food on Monday & Tuesday for next few weeks, which is just weird. But i'm not visiting the beach branch again for sure.

What an amazing spot to grab an almond croissant and double espresso. We sat out on the covered area that looks right out to the water. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our little stop here. Thank you!
