Steam Anchor Coffee & Cafe

Awesome Christian coffee shop. The food is delicious. I had the breakfast bowl and the flavor is amazing. Also had a black Bourbon pecan coffee which was simply stunning and exhilarating to the taste buds! I highly recommend you stop here.

Small, locally owned business. Delicious spot with great hot and cold sandwiches, coffee, energy drinks, and smoothies. The scones are delicious too! They also have a drive-thru as well.

I really enjoyed my coffee. the staff was very nice. The drink was well balanced. The only downside and this is silly minor is that they have such a large menu of meals and assorted drinks and coffees that the ordering area was very busy.A little bit of seperation somehow might give it more of a quaint coffee house feel but that's really knitpicky overall great experience

This was my first visit since they remodeled the inside, it has a nice rustic but modern feel to it! There is plenty of seating inside and drive through is also available. I went with the Extreme Grilled Cheese sandwich this time and was blown away by how good it was. If you're a cheese lover, don't think twice about ordering this one, you won't regret it! The white ciabatta bread it comes on is extremely soft and fluffy and the mac and cheese that comes on it is delightful. During peak hours it may take 25+ minutes for the food to be ready, but it's well worth the wait! The soups are always very flavorful too, an excellent compliment to any of the sandwiches!

I recommend this restaurant.

I used to always stop here years ago as they are right off the Great River Trail. I liked their "Hope Anchors The Soul" message. Then they closed, but in 2022 they opened. The first two times I tried to stop the lot was full, and a Prius was blocking the bike rack (how ironic). I have a very expensive bike and will not leave it unlocked from an appropriate object. The third time they were closed. The fourth time I was able to lock up my bike, and I have to agree with the negative reviews about the wait, and prices. Although the coffee was very good, the baked item was not as good as something from Casey's.
Finally, although I am very Spiritual, I firmly believe in separation of Church and State (Mark 12:17). I stop for peace and coffee, not to feel as if I am in an Evangelical service.
I have gone back to Krumpets, a good value, predictable quality and portion size, and a straight shot South to the GR Trail.

Was in the area for a family Christmas so stopped to fill up on some energy before Christmas and also the next day for our long 6-7 hr drive back home and experienced probably the best service I've experienced in a long time. Can't complain about the drinks either. Definitely will be stopping by the next time we are in the area.

Wow.....what an awesome crew! So impressed with the effort that Steam Anchor and owner Ben put into supporting others. Eagle Heights Elementary hosted beverages to celebrate our staff prior to winter break and Ben, Steam Anchor staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.
Thanks for your support of our PTA.
Much appreciation and gratitude for being a top notch customer engaged business. Mr. Dan Boyd, Principal Eagle Heights Elementary School, Clinton Iowa

I just had the best flat bread pizza. It was the chicken bacon ranch.. I asked if they could cook a little longer than normal. It was perfect! I will be back to get this again.

Wonderful coffee, even better people! Our family visited from out of town on the day after Thanksgiving. The shop was closed because they were decorating for Christmas as a family. To our surprise, they sprinted to catch our car across the parking lot and welcomed us into their shop and made our coffee. It was delicious and we will be stopping by any time we are in town!

Everything they have here is just amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful. When you walk in, you see many good hard workers getting everything done in a timely fashion and a clean environment to eat or hang out while you drink your coffee or whatever you get. It’s like a bee hive buzzing around in there, everybody pitching in collectively and harboring a strong work ethic. I can’t even tell you how good their new bursting boba shockwave is, normally i get a shockwave cuz that’s my favorite thing they have there but they have amazing coffee, smoothies, food and baked goods. You have to give them a try. If you haven’t already then you must be living under a rock. (P.S. I couldn’t resist drinking my boba before i got home 😂)
