The coffee is great, staff is amazing, location is fantastic but it’s not a sit and read a book kind of place during the week. It’s a room where 50 people are on a work call or actively having a work meeting. Which is cool, but when I read a book hearing “rockstar” “return on investment” over and over is annoying to me. Corporate lingo is like nails on a chalk board and all of the patrons here are working out of Steve’s, all at once. So be mindful of that, if you’re going for a work meeting, then this is the place.

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 have to make a purchase to sit in, I went ahead and ordered a plain cold brew and settled in. The café itself is really cozy and has a welcoming, laid-back vibe. It’s a smaller space but surprisingly has a lot of seating, standard café tables, comfy couches, coffee tables, and even individual seats with footrests. There are also a couple of outdoor tables. The staff was kind and accommodating, and I can definitely see this being a great place to meet up with friends or read a book. Unfortunately, the coffee didn’t match the atmosphere. I love a good cold brew and was hoping for something smooth and balanced. Instead, what I got had an off-color (suggesting it hadn’t rested long enough), and the flavor was uncomfortably tangy with a lingering bitterness. It tasted like it may have been brewed too quickly or with the wrong grind size. It could also come down to water or bean quality, but I doubt that’s the issue given how fast beans turn over in most shops and the likelihood of filtered water being used. Maybe it was a bad batch, but based on this experience, I don’t think I’d return, even if I needed an emergency workspace again. That said, if you’re looking for a cozy spot to chat, it might still be worth a visit.
I took the drink home, trashed about half of it, whipped up some caramel cold foam, and that made it drinkable.

I love the matcha! Yes I’m basic but as of now I have been to 14 other coffee shops in the valley and this one has the best Matcha by far!❤️ Review my photos and picture yourself in this environment and know that you are in for a good time! Tell them Darrell sent you!❤️

One of my favorite places when I am in the area. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Everything is always great and everyone I bring there tells me that they will add it to their list of places to frequent.

Comfortable, cushy seating? Check Nice, subdued, calming dark tones and not-too-bright lighting? Check Chill, anonymous vibe? Check Tables to get work done? Check Friendly staff that can make a frothy cappuccino? Check It even has little booths groups.
One weak point: A dearth of electrical outlets.
This place ticks lots of boxes 👍
Recommend!

The vibes are renaissance, but tavern, but also coffee shop?? I love it. Interesting, colorful, friendly lighting to work by (multiple warm chandeliers), clean, and cool. Got the scone on a review recommendation and would definitely eat 5 more. Aztec mocha is delicious and internet is fast. Will be coming back!

Better atmosphere than most (Starbucks), students frequent, power along the southern bench. Extreme Bean may have live Friday night music - but this place has booze! (cocktails)
And now the tradeoff - it closes at 5:30 pm, so its strictly a day shop. Extreme bean, nearby, is open till 8. And the coffee rush shops are open till 11.
Love this shop great coffee and a good atmosphere.

Great coffee, but sadly no Wi-Fi for those that need study corners
