The Steam Engine

Very nice coffee shop! Their steam engine theme is really fun and manages to be it's own locomotive thing rather than a steampunk effort. Coffe comes out hot (if that's what you ordered) and tasty! Their menu is large enough to offer good choices, but not so large as to be over whelming, which is great first thing in the morning. Service is also very polite and speedy.

Edit: Vanilla Caramel Latte was yummy.

Employees that work here are rude they won't introduce themselves to customers then who do you thank.

Thank you mr oh wait I don't know who served my coffee or sandwich.

I think its extremely rude behavior.

After asking several times why I was told it's funny because it's you.

The individual stated it keeps things interesting no more like scares customers away not wanting to return or leave a tip.

Asked for bosses number was given a fake number would not recommend to anyone.

I will not return nor will I advertise to friends or family.

Pts coffee is AMAZING! The service there is very friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. They know how to make a dessert too. Cookies, lemon bars, scones, brownies, no bake cookies, and muffins all really good. These people will take care of you, they really get me and my coffee needs. Also don't forget to try their sandwiches. My wife wanted me to add their mocha free (sugar free) is AMAZING! You really won't be able to tell the difference.

I visit Cara's Cup about once per week to study. I love the breakfast sandwiches and the Meadowlark and Sunflower Club. The homemade soups and potato salad are excellent. The baristas and manager are always friendly and give great drink recommendations. The atmosphere is cozy, but crowded at times. I love Cara's Cup!

Ebullient breakfast quiche. Good coffee. Small but cozy atmosphere.

Very inviting coffee shop with good menu options. Service was quick, polite, and well executed. Shopping center can make it a little tricky to find this place at first. It’s a bit around the corner so don’t give up looking. Overall great experience. A favorite place when I’m in Topeka.

Coming from a Denver foodie, this place is fantastic.

The Golden Plains sandwich is to die for. Fresh crunchy tomatoes and crispy lettuce. My eyes rolled back in my head on the first bite. The pesto is delicious without being overpowering, and when mixed with the cream cheese it's heavenly. Might I give your sandwich magician a hug?

PT's coffee is A+++. Robust but not too acidic. I swear the coffee has a character of it's own. You can tell it isn't from just any roaster.

The decor is simplistic and cozy. However I did feel a little crowded with a tall shelf right in the middle of the room. Perhaps try displaying just one or two products on each shelf to allow for a more open feel. The framed burlap sacks and the high contrast pictures on the wall give it a laid back feel. Love it.

Employees are very personable. Didn't catch her name but the woman with the freckles who took my order was a sweetheart.

Overall experience was fantastic. I love to see customers enjoying each other in a public atmosphere.

I will definitely be coming back.

The ladies are kind and make good coffee. The food is usually pretty good, too.

Best No Baked Cookies I ever had! Will share a pic Next time I am there! Coffee is really great too it’s a win win when you go!

Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Not too pricey and a comfortable dining area. Found an outlet under my bench but didn't need to use it however it would've been handy for a laptop.
