Great atmosphere! Just opened and it's already a hit in Sidney. They have an award-winning special espresso blend from a toaster in Missouri. Owners and staff have all been trained by professional baristas (NOT from Starbucks), and you can taste the difference. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, from a couple of large chairs in front of a fireplace to bother way in the back for privacy.

But if the flavor is there, which it was in both of these, the texture doesn't matter much.
It's definitely a place to stop in for a great cup of coffee and to sit back and take a breather after a long day. My family and I will be frequenting Beans and Steams as long as we're in Sidney, and making it our go-to...

Anyway when you take the order you could tell the 1 person that he ll have to wait 40 min for a bagel and he ll be ok to leave and go somewhere else . But it's not ok to wait and finally leave without food and while was sitting overthere no one could say anything. ...
Read moreAfter frequent travels across the tri-state region, I can confidently say this local coffee shop is hands down one of the best! Whether you're catching up with friends or looking for a quiet spot to work, the atmosphere is perfect for both. Even during the busiest rushes, the staff always greets you with a smile—no small feat considering how popular this gem is in the area. But the real star here is the menu. Every drink and food item is so delicious, I find myself craving more and more, especially with the convenience of their amazing drive-thru. If you’re ever passing through the Nebraska prairies, this is a must-stop destination you...
