Visited here with my trusty travel companion and beautiful Fiancée on 7/30/23. We've visited this place on a few other occasions prior to this review and I must admit our previous visits match our most recent visit to a T. First we ordered breakfast in which I ordered The Tardis which is French Toast and my fiancée ordered The Industrial Revolution which was a customized egg sandwich with various options. Both our meals were delivered to the table hot and fresh with a good plate presentation which was not expected from a coffee bar, both our meals tasted amazing and honestly can't say anything negative about both, the dining experience was quite nice for they were shockingly not busy when we visited which left the place pretty much to ourselves which was nice in my opinion, while we dined I observed the employees chatting and carrying on with their work which to me indicated they worked great together and a good solid team. Our drinks with our meals were refilled promptly as well, table service was on point. After we got 2 iced coffee's to go which I ordered what I think was the iced ebenezer? And the fiancée got a regular iced vanilla coffee. My iced coffee was a very welcome change to a traditional iced coffee, full of flavor, not bitter at all and definitely can distinguish all the flavors within. Fiancée craves this place on the regular and I can clearly see why. The reviews I see on google are outstanding which compared to other coffee places in the area I say is an achievement. The owners clearly know what they are doing and I see this place growing in the area for the years to come for sure. I hope to see more locations open in the area especially closer to the Tradition area where I know they could blow the competition out of the water. If you are new to the area or looking for a new coffee spot, I highly recommend you give this place a try and sample the menu or even get your preferred custom coffee here and also don't be afraid to sample the food menu as well. Definitely will be coming back whenever we are in that...
Read moreThe Steam Works Coffee Bar was opened in the Palm Plaza shops in April, 2021. I was shopping in this plaza when I stumbled upon this adorably themed steampunk cafe. Steampunk is where the past and the future collide, Victorian England meets technology. Machinery is powered by steam and the punk is a reference to cyperpunk. Elements are drawn from fantasy, horror, historical fiction and it takes inspiration from Jules Verne, H. G. Wells. Steampunk clothing is inspired by the fashions of the Victorian Era in England (1837-1901) and the Belle Epoque in France (1871-1914). Gears, goggles, and hats accent the outfits.
The Steam Works Coffee Bar uses fair-trade, co-op, organic, single-origin coffee from small-batch roasters in Florida. Different roasts are chosen depending on season. Beans are ground before making the drinks for optimum flavor. The menu features a wide variety of coffee and tea drinks along with breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soups, and salads with steampunk referenced names like The Tardis, The Thomas Edison, and the Wayfarer. For dessert there are tempting bakery treats.
For my drink I ordered the Ghost Latte, an iced latte from the Spooky Specials menu and made with caramel and marshmallow. The rich taste of the coffee was the perfect contrast to the sweet syrup. For lunch I chose the Aeronaut made with oven roasted slices of turkey, bacon, on white or wheat toast with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo and steampunk fries. The delicious sandwich was massive and more than I could finish in one sitting.
The Steam Works Coffee Bar offers different events which are posted on their board. Upcoming events include a Stella B. book reading on October 10th and a steampunk costume day on October 26th. Everyone who wears a costume can get a free drink so all time travelers should put that on their calendars. I love the coffee and food but I also appreciate how this local coffee bar also strives to bring the community together. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the Port...
Read moreWhat to say, what to say… man.. this place is the best!!! The food is amazing and the people are even better! Great staff, and the owner is a really cool person as well! Always love coming in here. I promised I’d leave a review every time I came in which I’d love to do, however, the Googler does not allow this. So.. I had to use.. alternative methods.. 😉anyhow! If you haven’t been here - stop in! You’ll be so happy you did! I always get their Thomas Edison.. but the pic I’ll post also includes their Artimas Gordan which.. holy moly.. it could cure depression!! Haha. Really though, I don’t drink, but I’d say this would be a great hangover meal.. I’m usually wiped from my long commuting hours for work so coming here on the weekend and eating usually helps to replenish and nourish my soul and being for the week to come lol. Seriously.. try the Artimas Gordon.. get it with Gouda and avocado, and you’ll be in heavennn. Order an iced mocha latte as well! It’s like chocolate milk with a kick! I always get a side of fruit as well. It’s always a nice balanced meal. Now if you get the Argent, prepare yourself!! I usually take a nap after having these but then again I usually use a ton of this syrup I got from Vermont lol. I don’t know how they do it but the outside of the waffle has those nice crispy almost caramelized edges and outside while the inside is still nice and soft.. mmm! Soo good!! I want some right now! Also! Be nice to the staff, please! 🙏🏼 They’re really kind people who have big hearts. They care. The restaurant can get busy and the phone can ring (it’s a good sign - it’s popular for a reason! ☺️) so please be patient when this does happen. It’s not a regular thing and I know they handle themselves well.. but I’m just looking out 😉 Anyway. 10/10. Just check the pics. They speak...
