    Blueberry muffin

    Service was good, small seating area, but still nice. Ordered a dirty chai latte and it was very watery and no cream taste to it. Just tasted like a cup of coffee. But the quiche was good, sandwich was probably better than the quiche. The blueberry muffin was very moist!

    Yummy lattes!

    Cozy coffee shop that also offers tasty food. Menus are posted on happy chalkboards and include seasonal beverages. The bacon quiche was much better than anything my hotel tried to serve me, and the vanilla lavender "spring fling" latte was refreshing on a dreary day. I'm adding this to my Topeka favorites list, and will be back next time I'm in town!

    What a cozy, cute place to get in from the heat, read, and journal. Loved the monster cookie bar and drink. They recommended it and I loved it. It had a calm vibe which I enjoyed. I'll definitely stop here again.

    Stopped in for coffee and a bite to eat. What a darling little coffee shop. The atmosphere is relaxing, aesthetically pleasing and inviting. I ordered a dirty chia latte with coconut milk. I was thrilled when they said they use Oregon Chai - which in my opinion is the best chai. The spice is not overpowering nor watered down. Many places don't offer coconut milk so seeing that on the menu was pleasing. I ordered a breakfast sandwich which consisted of turkey, egg, cheddar cheese and spinach. They offered many options to build your own. It was fresh, warm and hit the spot. My daughter ordered a wildberry smoothie. She described it as creamy but not milky at all. She said it was good, not to sweet and blended to perfection. She also ordered a banana nut muffin. It was what you would expect from Costco or Sams club. Nothing special but they warmed it will - not to hot not to cold. The muffin was moist and fresh.

    Stopped at the Steam Engine for the first time this morning. Coffee was great and the "build it yourself" Breakfast Sandwich was delish. I'll be back! Looks like they have some nice lunch items as well , FYI.

    Woke up this morning with a hunger for not Starbucks coffee. With a simple Yelp search my family and I find ourselves heading to The Steam Engine. It is the perfect place for coffee or a spot of tea. The kids got cinnamon rolls that rivaled grandma's. I mean each bite was heaven! They had homemade pop tarts and an assortment of breakfast sandwiches. A superb local coffee spot with a chill vibe and great cafe food.

    I've been wanting to try this place since they opened, but waited for the typical Topeka hype to…read moredie down a little first. Husband went this morning and WHAT THE HECK DID WE WAIT FOR?!? They are so good! You really do wind up saying "Holy Moly" that's good! I love a good fritter and theirs is amazing! Size of my face! I ate too much before thinking of a photo. We also got the donut bites, a cinnamon roll and a dozen glazed/chocolate donuts. Light fluffy and with that incredible little light crunch on the outside and melt in your mouth inside. For those complaining of price, they are in line with other local options. Being local they likely don't have the buying power the chain stores do, yet are still under 2 for most flavors. The fancy ones are under 3 but are like twice the size! Worth it and will return! Service was super nice and friendly! Definitely support this local gem!

    Holy Moly! Is a great namesake for this little gem. From the outside it's not much to look at…read more Painted green with a long rugged wrapping drive through. The menu is clearly visible right outside the ordering window. The woman working was super friendly and waited patiently while my kids decided. Loved the traditional and unique donut options. We went with a Cinnamon roll, chocolate long jon, old fashioned, and oreo. Each was soft and fresh. Good price for a solid donut!
