Alright alright alright….back by request and one of the first fun concoctions I subjected the lovely folks of Albuquerque to back in 2020….the Bourgeois Bomber is in rotation til we roll on out of here! What you have here is Mexican Coke (the real good stuff), cherry syrup, espresso, and a dash of cream should you want…it’s good sans cream too! Either way this one will certainly get you through!

Good morning friends! Eye see you and want you to know that I appreciate y’all so a much. We have just over a month left of the Catalyst brick and mortar here in the 505 and hope you’ll stop in to visit soon. The warmest of greetings and delicious brew awaits you!

Coffee is on folks and you’ve got this cat behind the bar today. Come see me and put me to work friends…I’d surely love to see ya! Also…thank you so much to those that participated in the Grammy drink special yesterday! It gave me the warm fuzzies every time someone ordered it! I appreciate you all!

I’m going to do something a little different today. I’m running a special for a very incredible person that is no longer with us on this plane. She was a part of my life for over a decade and honestly was more of a mother to me than my own was. Her name was Elaine and she was my mother-in-law and my boys Wyatt and Lukas’s Grammy. Even though her daughter Stephanie and I were no longer married I still considered her my mother-in-law, and always will. Today would’ve been her birthday and I most definitely would have made her favorite beverage for her if she were still with us. Elaine was quite possibly the most giving and selfless person I’ve ever known and would’ve done anything for her family and friends and just being in her life was a privilege and an honor for me. So for today’s special in honor and memory of her I will make it for you…any size with any milk option for $5 plus tax. What you will be receiving is a Vanilla Ube Matcha and you can have it hot or cold… however you prefer. The catch though is that you have to ask for Grammy’s Special! Extra bonus if you are a SF Giants fan like she was!

We will be opening at 9:15am today friends. However…when we do open a little later today you can stop by and grab something caffeinated and refreshing like this cherry amaretto espresso tonic as it’s gonna be a toasty one out there on this Wednesday!

Sometimes less is more friends…less is more. Come do less on this Monday here at Catalyst. Michael, yours truly, is behind the bar til 2pm today and I’d love to see ya on this lovely day.

I never intended for the post with the email to go viral as it has. But I am glad that it has brought this issue to the forefront again because we cannot let what is happening in this country to continue. Here is an actual picture of the sign in the window here at Catalyst. It’s self explanatory…and it’s the law here in this country. Should a DHS agent have a warrant then I could not stop them from coming in. However, if they attempt to come in without a warrant for the purpose of detaining someone illegally then they will not be allowed in. It’s really quite as simple as that. I opened the shop 3 1/2 years ago with the intent of creating a safe space for people of all walks of life. Anybody could come in here and there will not be any judgment whatsoever and they will be welcomed with open arms always. This is a space for community and for kind people. On several occasions, I’ve asked folks to leave because they did not agree with what the shop stands for. With that being said, I hope everybody has an amazing day and takes good care of themselves and those around them. I truly do love all of you and appreciate you so! Michael B./Catalyst Coffee
