Blue Steele Coffee Company

Been stopping here for a few years when in the area. It’s a hit and miss every time. Sometimes coffee is right on point and baristas are friendly and detailed oriented. Other times, the staff doesn’t pay attention, gets your order wrong and doesn’t even greet you. Other than owner, I don’t think I have seen the same person twice so a high turnover. Final straw was when asking for an iced latte several times getting it hot, and then dumped into a cup of ice so it tasted luke warm watered down coffee. Gave enough chances and will be taking business elsewhere.

The coffee is always awesome. The food is expensive, but pretty darn good. And the shop is nice to hang out in, it's quiet with good wifi, perfect for studying.

The one con: they do what most employers do, and keep most of their staff just below part time. Which is lame, but standard.

Even though I want to give this place a 5 stars, I’m not going to..since I’ve had a few bad experiences here.

If you want good-wholesome-amazing coffee, go in the mornings. I’m talking opening time up to 11am. If you get served by nice-elderly-women, then your coffee will be worth it. Otherwise, your coffee will be made by inexperienced/rude teens.

I went to get a vanilla latte at 3pm and as I drove up the window, a heavy-set female with dark hair stared me down. She was maybe around her 20’s. There was NO positivity coming from her what-so-ever. She did not say one word and continued to look at me rudely. I then told her my order and she just abruptly said “what size.” I thought she said “what kind” so I repeated it again. She then said “No, size” with attitude. I was then handed the tablet to complete my order and when I was on the tip page, she was STARING. ME. DOWN. I honestly DID NOT want to give her a tip but she was hawk-eyeing my every move on the tablet. Afraid that I might end up getting spit in my coffee, I then proceeded to give her a tip. I asked her kindly if it was “double card punch day” and she said “uh. ya” like I was some kind of idiot. She then went to make my coffee and handed it to me with force without saying a word. As I drove off, guess what...my coffee was not a vanilla latte (just plain latte). I shrugged it off until I noticed that the flavor lasted only 5 seconds and behold: only 90% of the cup was hot milk. Literally only a pinch of caffeine was added to it.

Another experience I had was with another teen-young adult. She was very kind, but made my mocha frappe very icy that it was hard to suck out my drink from the straw. I only tasted slushed water and barely tasted any flavoring.

Overall, you guys need a make-over on your young staff. They are either rude/arrogant and/or don’t have much training/experience. Your morning staff is amazing and kind. The afternoon staff fail to mirror off their professional image and positive-energy.

The coffee is amazing. Everyone here is always friendly and they never fail to make you feel welcome.

There is plenty of sitting room inside with deli style food options and deserts.

Coffee and food prices are fair. Quality is great.

I work around the corner from here and it has been a regular stop for lunch and coffee. Staff is always amazingly friendly and have always been welcoming to my little who will be 4 this month since he was a baby. Salted Caramel Mochas are delicious and year round and they make their own chocolate covered espresso beans. The Sounder sandwich and the CBR Flatbread are my 2 favorites! Thanks for 6 years of great service!

My favorite place for a drive-thru breakfast sandwich in the morning, and also a great place to meet and work. I'm sitting here now on my laptop getting work done, enjoying a delicious sandwich, and I really appreciate that it's nice and quiet (so many coffee shops have LOUD music on all the time!), so I can focus. A go-to coffee shop for me!

Awesome coffee shop with great breakfast sandwich and salads. Coffee is great quality and friendly staff. Good place to study as it is quiet. Have never had a bad coffee or espresso drink made there.

Extremely slow service, baristas served 3 people in the drive thru before me and one person inside the cafe - after they took my order. I ordered two 16oz iced lattes and both tasted like milk and syrup even though I ordered and paid for an extra shot of espresso. Will not be back.

Nice location, they serve strong, regular coffee as well as speciality coffees. (Too strong for my tastes) They are willing to add additional flavorings upon request. They don't have much of a selections when it comes to sandwiches or pastries.

Best little coffee shop! Love the ladies that work here always make my drinks correct and they have the best dang food you have to check it out!
