Finally, a coffee shop that does not have a boring tea menu! I was so impressed they had 10 different teas with various varieties, and then they steeped it with a timer. I saw incredible artwork that the Reece were doing with local mochas and café drinks. It was such a fun experience going here. They actually have a Chemex and a coffee that you can get that's made with a Chemex set up, I was impressed by that. This is a great place to take friends to talk. The only negative aspect that I could find with this location is that I couldn't find a power source easily in a wall if you are working on your laptop.

Cool coffee spot tucked away on the back side of then midtown mall. Can't believe I've never stopped in. Interesting variety of ways to have your coffee too. You can get the typical drip and espresso based coffee or you can use French press, v60, and others I'm not familiar with. They have tables for seating as well as a coffee bar, a fireplace for ambiance, and seating in the mall area too. The staff was accommodating and our coffee was out quickly and as ordered, they have sweets too!! This spot is a nice change from the typical coffee hut or Starbucks. Give it a try, you won't regret it

I had some time to kill between appointments and Steamdot's convenient midtown location in the mall made it a perfect location to relax. I've walked by many times but never gone in and I see now I've been missing out. This place is packed, even mid day, and it's not small. Even though it's big, it some how it manages to still feel cozy and yet modern at the same time. Their artisanal coffee is excellent and did not disappoint. I was also pleased to see that Brown Bag sandwiches are available at this location- yay!!! Definitely be back.

When Brown Bag closed down, I was saddened because they made an amazing Spicy Yeti sandwich. To my surprise, SteamDot and Brown Bag partnered up and now SteamDot locations serve Brown Bag sandwiches!!! Nothing like a Spicy Yeti sandwich to be cooled down by a cold brew coffee. Only downer I have about SteamDot... they do not serve simple syrup for their iced beverages, forcing me to add a flavored syrup to my cold brew coffee when I would just like a splash of sweetness. Sigh. EDIT: I just left after ordering a spicy yeti and Wilbers fate sandwich and I am sad to report that they were terrible! What went wrong? My spicy yeti wasn't on rye bread and the chicken breast that they substituted for turkey was legit processed deli meat. On the Wilbers fate, they forgot the ham and used that gross processed "chicken breast" also. They didn't even have the kettle crinkle cut chips that normally comes with the sandwich but these off brand meh chips. I went up to notify them of their mistake and they told me that they were sorry but they were out of a lot of things... ok, well, tell me that before I order something. I expressed my unsatisfying concerns and the guy just shrugged. Now I'm sad. I normally love these sandwiches but today... they get two stars.

Cute place! Located in the midtown mall. Coffee is good, steamdot has never really disappointed me in the coffee department. I love love love that they display and sell local artwork. It's similar to midnight sun cafe minus the lunch menu. The lounge area is cozy, I love the fireplace touch. The entire area is actually pretty nice, updated, and spacious. Definitely a place to hang out and relax with a good book or get somethings done on the laptop. There's adequate room for social distancing and they have a decent coffee menu. Service is ok and coffee is good. I got the white chocolate mocha with soy and they (super thankful) didn't mess it up. They sell a decent amount of baked goods that's on display, didn't look appetizing but I'm sure they are decent. I'm just a little weirded out looking at it, like it's been there forever in hopes of being adopted. ( I'm good) ..don't worry steamdot, that same thought crosses my mind at other coffee shops with baked goods on display...even Starbucks. Overall..it's a comfy joint. I wouldn't mind coming back.

Great little spot! Do not be fooled by the mall location! The interior is cozy yet modern. Kinda like brushed steel meets rustic cabin. Baristas were warm and friendly, despite it being 6am. WiFi was decent, but again...it was 6am. I'd be interested to see how it stands up to a good hammering. I got a drip coffee because I'm a simpleton. It came in a nice black mug. Next time I hope to get here early enough to find a spot next to the fireplace.

While I absolutely love the ambience (they have a fireplace, great music, comfy chairs, bar areas and plenty of outlets for your gadgets), they just can't get it for the coffee. I have been here twice now, and thought, "meh, i'll try a white mocha instead of mocha next time" Well that is just what I did, and while they have artistic skills with making leafs and what not (which is awesome) on my foam, the taste just is not there. I would like to say I have much diversity in Anchorage at coffee shops (especially since i'm the one who just keeps adding away at the little coffee shacks to make lovely additions to yelp), this place just doesn't do it for me. It is very much lacking the sweet flavor and has a huge espresso and foam after taste. While I won't throw my coffee away, I will sip on it and enjoy the atmosphere. You can also people watch here for those in the sears mall :) I will still come here and try maybe teas or snacks, but just not the coffee!

Our favorite go to coffee in anchorage. Not fancy but always consistently good espresso drinks

I've come here a couple of times and had marginal to good service. The only reason I keep coming back is it's a convenient location for people who live all over town that keep asking me to meet them here. I would not to choose to come here on my own or recommend it to anyone else. Their coffee is good which is their only saving grace. However they don't heat up their food items. For $4 I don't want a cold savory scone or the option the heat it up in a microwave. I really am not a fan of microwave heated food. They have an open kitchen with a cook and j asked if I could order something made fresh for breakfast and the barista said... "yeah that doesn't start until 8am... (on a weekday?) and probably later than that this morning..." it was 7:54 when I asked and the cook was just standing there. I don't get who they're making breakfast for past 8am on a weekday. This place kinda blows.
