Crema's Take

“Steve's Espresso in Tempe has carved out a reputation as a genuinely comfortable third space, with customers raving about the cozy couches, thoughtfully designed private nooks, and perfectly calibrated background music that makes it equally suited for focused work or lingering conversation. Beyond the reliably excellent espresso drinks, their matcha has earned serious local recognition—one regular declared it the best in the valley after visiting 14+ competing shops—and their pastries and breakfast items like the broccoli cheddar quiche feel genuinely homemade rather than generic. It's the kind of place where people keep coming back not just for the coffee, but because they feel welcomed to settle in and stay a while.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Great coffee shop with a cozy vibe that had a lot of great places to sit. The background music was good with the volume low enough to read or carry on a conversation. The peppermint mocha latte that I had was delightful 😊 Refills on drip coffee were $.50.

I stopped by Steve’s Espresso to get some work done since my home internet was down. This was one of the first spots I tried, unfortunately, like a few other coffee shops and even the local library, their WiFi was also down. I should have checked before purchasing, but since you…
