Did I just get a vivacious coffee shop experience in a fire station??? Yes indeed: steam has taken an old fire station and transformed it into a large open space coffee station. The giant middle area is taken over by the coffee bar, and seating is around the main attraction (where the coffee is made). The inside is bright and airy and a fun vibrant environment. We went before a farmers market and it was so busy! Despite that, they were so fast at getting our order. It did take some time to get our coffee but that's ok. The latte was your standard latte, but the pastry was amazing. I would come here again to show the unique space, truly wont find another experience like this. read more

I had a chocolate croissant and a turkey bagel. I didn't think either lived up to my expectations the coffee itself was decent. The highlight is the outdoor patio but it's hard to know when your food and drinks are ready because they only call your name inside. The bagel took like 20 minutes to come out. read more

This is such a cute coffee spot! There's plenty of seating throughout the space, making it perfect for working or studying. I love that the barista station is centered in the shop.

I ordered a latte and it was absolutely delicious. read more

Cute coffee shop in the highlands - we biked from Edgewater and there were bike stands outside the shop. Awesome selection of pastries, we got the h and cheese + blueberry cream cheese and they were both amazing. Coffee was strong and tons of indoor/outdoor seating - perfect for a work from coffee shop with wifi. read more

A friend and I visited Steam for a quick coffee meet up and I was excited to find a new cafe! There was lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, including good spots for people looking to work. The coffee was tasty and very full! read more

Our stop here was totally random -- and so lucky! We ordered the Mediterranean bagel, and wow, what a pleasant surprise. Packed with veggies, chili oil, and pure deliciousness. Such an unexpected treat! I only wish we lived nearby so we could order that bad boy again. read more

I finally made it in here and not only in a cute part of LoHi but a cute ambiance and place. The staff were sweet and friendly but on a Sunday at 10:30 it gets packed and service can take a bit. I got an oatmilk latte with a chocolate raspberry croissant. Never had that flavor of a croissant but it was bomb and I think all croissants need to have those pairings of fillings lol. The latte woke me up and was good. I love a good cafe with a nice vibe and good bites and coffee. I will comeback here in the future and recommend. read more

An absolutely picture-perfect way to start a day in Highland, Steam is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops I have ever visited. Housed within an old firehouse and featuring plenty of modern indoor and garden seating, this spot calls out to you from its prime corner location on Tejon. Service was quick and efficient, and their cold brew and gluten-free financiers were some of the best morning treats I have had in recent memory. A must for the mornings, Steam is one of my favorite Denver spots. read more

I was on the hunt for the perfect coffee shop while on vacation. Have to say I'm very happy to have found this place. We were about a seven minute walk from our hotel and even though we had so many other shops around us this one just spoke to me. As I took my morning walk to earn my coffee :-) I was excited to find such a cute use of space. I'm guessing it used to be a firehouse? Everybody was super friendly and welcoming. Decided to get latte which was done to perfection. I love when I can actually taste coffee versus it being too much milk. Didn't have to make many adjustments. Prices were reasonable to my coffee was five dollars. I would definitely come back here for my morning wake up :) read more

Steam Espresso Bar - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is a cute little coffee shop located in an old firehouse building. They've kept some structural parts of the old building and it makes it look so unique! I ordered an Americano and ham and cheese croissant. Both were delightful. I had to finish some work and I didn't see any outlets near by but had a full charge at the time. They do have wi-fi and it seemed to be hit or miss on speed for me. I ended up using my hot spot. The staff was so friendly and welcoming! I would definitely come back for more coffee and pastries! read more

Really fun environment - an old firehouse, complete with tall engine-bay doors, public phone booth, and firepole. Beautiful outdoor patio with flower boxes. The menu lives up to the style. It's mostly limited to scones, muffins, and croissants, though one croissant had eggs. Scones are dry and crisp (no clotted-style cream offered), and they do not have the ability to warm them, but it doesn't matter. They pair beautifully with a drink. Coffee drinks are elegantly and artistically finished, rich and flavorful, and served in wonderful cups with thick sides and large handles that I would buy for my home. Go if you get the chance. We were visiting but would be regulars if we lived locally. read more

I was waiting for the breakfast restaurant next-door to open, so decided to stop in and check out this espresso bar. First of all, the ambience is adorable. Stationed in an old fire house, lots of plants, a wooden bar, copper top tables, and plenty of light. Because this was my first time in, I asked for a recommendation and was told that all of their drinks are special! However, they particularly recommended their chai, so I tried a half-and-half, half spicy and half sweet. I enjoyed it very much and had a pleasant 20 minutes, sitting and chatting with a friend until the restaurant opened. A very nice experience and would be happy to go back. read more

This place is cute and clean, definitely a cool vibe. And while I respect a concise menu, it felt a little weird that there were zero coffee syrups (these do not have to be chemical-laden, homemade syrups at easy and delicious!) and honey was the only "flavor" option. I had a good iced latte, my husband a so-so americano. A couple of the pastries were good, but the vanilla scone was so hard it was inedible. We were simply visiting Denver, but would not be a return visit if we lived nearby. read more

Steam's new location in the Highlands did not disappoint! Located inside of an old firehouse, this location is hip and trendy, with the same tasty coffee at the Pearl St location. At around 10:30 on a Friday, it was a packed house. It took a while to find a seat and was fairly loud and lively -- just a heads up if you're somebody who needs a quiet coffee shop environment to power through some work. So excited to have Steam in the neighborhood and can't wait to come back! read more

Overall, the ambiance of this place is great. There is so much space, it is such a great spot to work at and not be stressed about getting a seat. They do close at 3. I got a cold chai tea latte and it was delicious. None of the lids fit for our to go cups we got so not ideal but not a deal breaker. Overall, I got my coffee fast and loved the vibe of the inside and outside. Would def come again. read more

My toddler and I enjoyed a nice morning at Steam yesterday. I've been meaning to check it out for awhile now and am surprised it took so long. It's super cute inside- bright, with high ceilings and stylish decor. One of our favorite things to do is visit coffee shops and share either a hot chocolate or a hot tea and a pastry and read on days when it's a bit chilly to play outside. I was very impressed by the quality of Steam's pastries- we shared a bear claw that tasted fresh and was the right amount of sweet with a delicious almond paste filling. We also shared a hot chocolate, which wasn't super sweet and was really good. They were very crowded when we were there so we ended up sharing a stool across from where they make their juices. My son had fun talking about the different fruits and vegetables they put in and we're both looking forward to our next visit, when we'll definitely be breaking from our tradition and getting a made to order juice. read more

I am a little ashamed to say that I've lived in the area for the last 2.5 years and only recently went to Steam since I am a loyal customer to a couple of other local coffee shops. However, I am glad I stopped in the last couple of weeks. I needed to get work done and needed a place I could walk to. The espresso is decent - I wasn't able to distinctly taste the espresso from the Sweet Bloom beans they use. Highlights of this Steam location: Large seating area, plenty of windows to people watch, non-coffee options (juices) Only downside: I could not find any outlets Not a bad neighborhood coffee place if you need to grab a cup or get some work done! read more

Another huge win for Hani and crew. While I tend to frequent the original Steam on Pearl, and have since before they even opened, this location brings all the love, wonderful ambiance and coffee that the OG location does. The owner has been a friend of mine for 15ish years and could not be a kinder and just downright wonderful person to be around. He's transferred all of his love and attention to quality to yet another location and I'm so happy for his success. It's well deserved and you'd be making a huge mistake if you don't get your cup of Joe from Steam. Make it a morning and enjoy the kindness of the staff, the impromptu convos with other guests and try some delicious baked goods. You will not be sorry. read more

If you are a Coffee Adventurer like I am, then you will really appreciate this Espresso Bar! I purchased two drinks, a Hot Chocolate which is pictured below , and an Oat Latte. I didn't go for any of the delicious bakery treats they had since I like where my waistline is; but I would definitely go back and try a few when I have more flexibility with what I am eating. The Hot chocolate was smooth and almost had a dark chocolate taste to it, NOT BITTER though; I thought it was the perfect balance since most hot chocolate are prepared with bombs of sugar. The latte was so good, that it didn't make the cut for a picture since I drank it too fast lol Come check out this cozy spot if you're in the area! read more

Oh man! I forgot how good Steam Espresso Bar is since I've only been to the OG location once. But now that there's a new location nearby I will definitely be frequenting! Steam opened up a new location in an old firehouse in the Highlands and it couldn't be a more perfect spot! Beautiful interior, large outdoor space, great drinks, and some of the best pastries I've ever had. I tried a cruffin for the first time and I'll be back just to get my hands on those. But they also make my fav chai tea latte in town, perfect mix of sweet and spicy since they ask you what your preference is. read more
