Cafe Steam

I love the Steam at Discovery place, same name, I figured same coffee quality. Nope. Not at all. I was very let down at my experience at the Steam on Broadway. I ordered a latte, and scone. The person with me placed her order too. We were staying at the cafe to drink our beverages.
You never want to serve the 10 ounce drink in a 12 ounce paper cup of you have the option right. Well, I got mine in a paper cup😳. So instead of a latte, I ended up with a Cappuccino. That wasn’t at all what I wanted. I literally had a foam mustache as it was filled with foam & milk vs the traditional milk of a latte.
I’m not sure where the breakdown occurred - if they simply used a paper cup for their convenience? If they didn’t know the difference between a Cappuccino & Latte. I was sorely disappointed in the beverage. I drank 1/4 and ditched it, won’t be back. Can’t recommend this location anyway. How can two cafes blocks apart be so totally different?
I love the ceramic cups at Steam. Not some crummy paper cup I would get from a gas station. I almost had them re-make it, but decided it’s better just not to return to this location.
So disappointed ☹️

Artsy bohemian spot, great for working remotely, not busy and quiet. Loved the nature outdoorsy feeling even when you’re indoors. My latte could have been better but I think it’s because of the type of coffee grain they use.

Great experience. Like many in Rochester I was visiting and looking for a comfy atmosphere to detox. Cafe Steam was inviting, comfortable and easy to relax with a delicious beverage. I will be back next time I'm in town.

Feel good cafe. Very nice baristas here, told me to take my time (sincerely) when i cant decided what i want lol

Cafe Steam is consistently a great vibe with fabulous beverages. I usually get a delicious oat milk Latte. Today, the Chai Latté was my jam!

Steam is the BEST study spot in Rochester, I used to frequent this space when I lived in town and was a grad student. The staff were always so nice when I would visit & the atmosphere was warm and cozy each time I came in. I used to love coming here to do work, have a latte, and watch the snow come down outside on winter days. It can get a little crowded, so I always made a point to go early when I could. Go visit them!

Great place to relax and grab a coffee in downtown Rochester. Good pastries as well.

Coffee quality varied wildly from day to day. Got coffee there 2 days in a row day 1 it was Great! 2nd day it was quite bad. I Couldn't even drink it all. So quality control could use some work but the establishment is beautiful and well placed in terms of location. May just be worth a taste of ur drink before you leave the establishment.

This is the perfect little place to grab a coffee and chill. It's a cozy little spot that serves up some rich and aromatic bean juice. It's fun to watch the baristas working all the shiny bean squeezing equipment. They also offer a few different sugar free flavorings for spicing up your ordinary cup of Joe.

Grab the coffee canister if you like fresh beans for a great price. Lattes are well done. They have definitely improved. When they first opened I did not think much. Now that they have a sister company roasting their beans, the coffee is on par with some of the best I've drank.
