Crema's Take

Steam Espresso Bar is a genuine haven for coffee purists who appreciate espresso done right, without the sugar-laden shortcuts that dominate modern coffee culture. Beyond their exceptional lattes and creative signature drinks, what really sets them apart is their thoughtfully designed outdoor garden spaces where you can linger over a Golden Chai Latte or Dirty Chai while surrounded by flowers and sometimes even live harp music. The whole experience—from knowledgeable baristas like Davis to their freshly made pastries—feels like a neighborhood gem that actually delivers on the promise of authentic, unrushed coffee culture.

coming from out of town, we stopped at this espresso bar and was absolutely blown away. it is hard in this day and age to find authentic coffee that is not pumped full of artificial sugars and sweet sweeteners. If you’re looking for real coffee, a good atmosphere and really kind people. This is the place to stop by. The people behind the counter were so sweet and when I didn’t know what to get, They gave me some ideas of what they have versus what I typically would order at a generic coffee shop and they made something so good. There is not a lot of sitting space on the inside, but They’re seating outside that makes more space. 100% worth the stop and will 100% be coming back next time I’m in town. it was so refreshing to have real coffee again :)

I had a golden chai latte, and it was delicious! Super cool atmosphere, and on a warm day, it is fun to sit outside in there spacious side and back garden. They had pastries too, but I was focused on my warm beverage.

Enjoyed sitting outside this morning in their courtyard. Our drinks were very good and it was a treat to hear live harp music.

We love Steam, our local coffee shop, love the outdoor atmosphere! Nice flowers in the summer and garage windows. Our fav is a dirty chai - great stuff!
