Brewed for Good
You’ll smell it before you see it. That rich, roasty aroma drifting down Princess Street in Uptown Saint John. But this isn’t just any indie café with reclaimed wood tables and hipster lighting. Catapult Coffee & Studio is a place where your $5 latte fuels more than your morning. It fuels a mission.
Located in a beautifully restored heritage building, this non-profit coffee shop is quietly changing lives, one perfectly steamed cappuccino at a time.
A Latte Heart, A Whole Lot of Soul
Step inside and you’re instantly hit with warmth, from the fireplace flickering in the corner, and the vibe. The staff are all smiles, the tables are shared, and the walls are dotted with local art and handcrafted textiles. There’s no snobbery here…just honest coffee, community energy, and enough macramé to make your Pinterest board weep.
Order a bold Colombian dark roast, a dreamy matcha latte, or their masala chai and take it to a cozy nook with your laptop. Or your feelings. No one’s judging.
Cinnamon Rolls and Second Chances
Sure, the cinnamon rolls are fluffy and the toast game is strong (try the sturgeon pâté if you're feeling Maritime-bold), but the real takeaway? Every dollar you spend helps support Outflow Ministry, the local non-profit behind Catapult.
Your order funds:
- A men’s shelter
- Community meal programs
- Employment training
- And a space that feels like home to many who don’t have one
This is what happens when a café becomes a community cornerstone. It’s part caffeine, part compassion. And it works.
Retail Therapy (With a Conscience)
Forget mass-produced mugs and touristy trinkets. The Catapult Coffee Gift Shop is a curated dream of hand-poured candles, pottery, textile wraps, and one-of-a-kind artisan gifts made by locals and trainees in their employment programs. It’s giving Saint John Etsy but better.
Grab a bag of their medium Bolivian roast or a bar of handmade soap, and know you’re supporting more than a bottom line.
This Cup Comes with a Ripple Effect
Catapult Coffee & Studio isn’t just a coffee stop. It’s a movement disguised as a café. It’s where you meet a friend, write your next big idea, or just take a quiet moment and feel good about where your money went.
It’s proof that great design, better coffee, and even better intentions can all exist under one very charming, very Saint John roof.
