Closure of Downtown Missoula's Beloved Catalyst Cafe Marks End of an Era
The Catalyst Cafe, a popular breakfast and lunch restaurant in downtown Missoula, will be closing this fall after over three decades of operation. The owners, Denis Keast and Jim O'Byrne, announced the closure on Facebook, citing the end of their lease and the need for a new chapter. Despite attempts to sell the restaurant, no buyers were found. The cafe, known for its long waiting lists and busy outdoor tables, has been a beloved part of the Missoula business community.
