Pierce Street Coffee Works — Restaurant in Sioux City

Worked here for quite a few years, and it was one of the best jobs and experienced I've had the privilege of doing. The food is great and fresh made with a healthier conscience in mind. The coffee and espresso are roasted in town and are some of the best The area has to offer. The employees are trained on how to use the machines and how coffee is supposed to be really made. The fact it's been alive and well for 20 some odd years, I believe, is a testament to it's much talked about excellence, especially in a town where things go away just as quickly as they go up. It's got a mystique about it as well, when you walk in you absolutely feel like you've been transported to a different part of the world, seeing as a lot of the decorations, art, and photographs on the walls are from the owners own personal travels and experiences.

Pierce Street Coffee Works will always be my go-to lunch spot. Everything is beyond fantastic. Let's start with the food, I have tried it all and have tried everything on the menu and off the menu and have not experienced anything I wasn't Beyond pleased with Burien their soups are fantastic but if you plan on getting soup go early they do run out because it's a fan favorite. Their dessert in cakes in their pastry case are always being served and flying out to customers. If you're not into their delicious coffee, I don't know why you wouldn't be, they have a whole beverage station with some pretty neat canned and bottled beverages. The most incredible thing is the staff. When you arrived they really make you feel like you're part of the family even if it's your first visit. Which will have you coming back...

How did I not know this gem was here?

Despite the construction, Pierce Street Coffee Works is open for business and has delicious smoothies, sandwiches, and (of course) coffee.

They do have both indoor and outdoor seating and are currently following state guidelines on capacity. They requested that dine-in groups limit themselves to thirty minutes or less to allow other customers a chance to enjoy the atmosphere.

Currently, I cannot recommend the outdoor seating experience as the road is torn up with current construction. However, the area as a whole is nice and includes several small businesses, which makes it a nice place to stop and enjoy a coffee outside when the road is complete.

This is a small local business, pulling through and delivering excellent service and food despite the pandemic and...
