Café Steam

It's a nice little cafe. I usually get latte or cappuccino and I love their coffee. It's a popular one in town so it's pretty much always crowded. Nice decor inside but usually a bit too noisy too read or work just bc it's so popular if that's what you come for. But I still enjoy sitting for a shorter time.

Great coffee! Some of the best in Rochester for sure. They use Colorway coffee. Bought a couple bags for the road! Also, great vibes and unique seating inside! One gal saw me studying the bags and came around to tell me all about them (much appreciated!).

If you’re in Rochester, MN and looking for great coffee, this is your spot. Coffee was absolutely dialed in — smooth, bold, and consistent. The sugar-free syrup options were A+ (hard to find good ones, and they nailed it). The atmosphere is amazing — perfect for client meetings, remote work, or just taking a break from the day. Staff was outstanding: friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Pro tip: Park in the back or take a short walk through downtown Rochester. Totally worth it. As a local business owner with Homes By Luke, I appreciate places that care about quality and community — and this one does it right. Highly recommend. ☕️💪

True coffee shop experience! Loved that there is plenty of seating. Parking is a bit of a bear, but once you're inside its the delightful eccentric coffee shop that you're expecting.

Cafe steam checks all the boxes that you would expect of a specialty coffee shop. Although during peak hours seating is limited, the kindness and intentionality of the baristas and the delicious coffee and scones make up for it. I especially appreciate the diverse menu and late hours. Definitely recommend for a quick cup of joe, or for a cozy place to read or study!
