Steam coffee co — Restaurant in Melbourne

I recently stumbled upon this rather peculiar cafe and it was quite an experience... in a not-so-positive way. the shop had a somewhat dingy atmosphere that left me feeling a bit uneasy.

When it comes to coffee, this place offers something quite different, but not necessarily in a good way.

I drank my coffee there and took my sandwich away. Coffee was delicious and sandwich packaged beautifully and...

Seriously good coffee and good vibes only! Sam and Jonny know how to make very good coffee with no cutting corners. Jonny’s coffee knowledge and passion sometimes feels overlooked as he slings latte after extra hot latte, to your liking no doubt. But next time you go to Steam, ask about trying a alternative milk or a deliciously good black single origin coffee. You will not be disappointed. After all, a good barista is worth its weight in happiness! For those who care about your coffee you will definitely find...
