Was User at Steam Espresso a mag?
The young team at Steam is amazing! We visited every day during our week-long trip, despite it being in the opposite direction, all because the coffee is outstanding. We tried everything—coffee, espresso, cortado, cappuccino—and each was phenomenal. With a really friendly staff and a spacious terrace, it’s no surprise that Steam is packed every morning. We’ve definitely found our go-to café in Denver for future visit... View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Steam Espresso:
Re: Pearl Street location. The coffee and pastries are great, just be prepared to potentially wait 40/45 minutes for coffee. I waited in a long line for about 15/20 minutes only to find out when I got to the counter that wait for coffee would be another 20-30 minutes. This is not acceptable. I wish someone told me that so I didn't wait in line so long. View all feedback.

Quaint place! Come for the coffee, but stay for the juice! Stellar staff too! Let this also serve as a warning that the place is pretty nuts in the mornings!

A wide variety of seating options indoors and out. The flat white was as my rating represents.

It's a lovely neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee was good, but the syrup options were somewhat limited. The ambiance was quite noisy.

I absolutely love this coffee shop! It has a fantastic atmosphere and is a wonderful spot to work during the week. The coffee drinks are excellent, and the pastries look delicious as well! Just a heads up, though – be prepared for a bit of a wait on weekend mornings.
