Really good coffee and breakfast. Got the chicken and waffles, a breakfast bowl with sausage, and a biscuit. The biscuit was great crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Highly recommended this place.

Dont usually stop at cafés like this but I was really happy we did. The woman who took our order was really helpful, the menu was pretty simple. But the food was really really good and my drink was delicious. Was only traveling through and was sad to see they were closed on Sunday, on our way back home. If Im ever that way again, Ill definitely be stopping here!

No wonder the reviews of this cafe are so good. Loved everything. I guess it’s the only cafe in Harrisburg.Lots of options available to order from.We ordered Breakfast platter, breakfast bowl, bagels, coffees, French Toast and a Cinnamon Roll.Everything was great. Service was a little slow as they were attending drive thru people a lot.Great ambiance and interior. They also provide WiFi.

Cute little coffie shop. My french toast was okay. My husbands breakfast bowl was small, and full of oil or butter. Otherwise its a cute little place. Coffie was drinkable.

I was waiting on by a beautiful young blonde whose name was Natalie, I believe. I ordered the house coffee which was absolutely delicious. And the sweet that I ate was wonderful. Finally the other young lady at the register was super nice. I will definitely go again and highly recommend the place.

Quite the little gem of a place! Delicious breakfast! We tried the hot mess and it was absolutely wonderful. Homemade bread, toasted with bacon and egg and gravy.. oh my! The frappes are awesome. Love the steampunk feel. Will be dining here again soon!

Local full-service café with breakfast and lunch options. Indoor seating and drive-thru available. Great food portions and pricing for on the go quick pick-me-ups. Visited this location during COVID-19 and the staff and establishments was NOT following local municipal and state guidelines to ensure the safety of consumers. No documentation was posted upon entering requesting for patrons to follow safety guidelines and employees were not wearing face masks. Small indoor space so either call ahead for operating times and capacity or you might consider drive-thru or pick up for your safety.

My girlfriend and I went inside to get bubble tea and waffles, and we were pleasantly surprised. The service, food, and drinks were all very good.Not to mention the nice layout and decor of the interior. 5/5 would and will go again

1) my regular coffee was the worst cup of coffee I have ever had in my 52 years of life, 10 years drinking army coffee was better than this coffee they served me. My wife got a breve, it was ok, she looked it, and agreed about the horrble regular coffee I had.2) menu says your choice of meat.. what are the choices?3) my wife and I had the hot mess, good, i thought a little too much pepper, she says it was fine.Staff seemed a bit in their own, we dont care world. Only reason I m giving it 2 stars is my wife liked the food.

In town for a funeral and needed a good cup of coffee (actually a lot - got a quad espresso). This eclectic little place down an alley/street in town was just what I needed. Hanging on the walls were some really unusual works by local artists.

Our Italian cream sodas were good. The Italian pasta salad was good. My daughters turkey ranch bagel was good. My Cubanish panini was less than delicious. I appreciate the response by the owner but a refund or replacement is not necessary. I have had this same sandwich before and it was delicious that time. I’m sure I will try it again.

Such a cute cafe in a town where you wouldn’t be expecting such a refuge. It also had an adorable drive through set up which was an added surprise.My breakfast sandwich to go was very good, though I wished they had included some napkins! And had had hot sauce but that’s asking a lot...and the sandwich was delicious especially after my hikes at Shawnee National Forest.I could imagine open mike nights with all the local artists, musicians, and other free thinkers gathering in a rather conservative corner of our country. But that just might be my lovey-dovey liberal lens....

Went for breakfast . They only had about 10 items to choose from . Ordered the breakfast bowl . Asked to have my hash browns cooked crispy . Got it and they werent even brown at all . Completely white still and barely warm . I did ask if it was a good size meal, they said yes . Was an extremely small bowl with mostly hasbronws in it and maybe one egg, couple table spoons of gravy, 3 little chunks of sausage,and a tiny sprinkle of cheese. Cost $6.00 for the bowl . I sent it back and took 15 minutes to brown some hash browns and wasnt barely crispy at all. Smoothies are all syrup and barely any fruit in them .

As someone from a very small town, this is exactly what fills my soul with happiness. From the local art, decor on the wall and the relaxed atmosphere that the waiters give will make you feel almost at home. Not what I expected from the pictures online and the other reviews. I hope this review helps other people not from this town and people from this town that have never heard of this place visualize the comfort.

We are in town to cheer my dad on for the Shawnee Marathon and found this place for some warm breakfast and coffee to get out of the rain. We read that the chicken and waffles were good...no the chicken and waffles are AMAZING!!I got mine with gravy and my hubby got his with syrup. The waffles have caramelized sugar baked in so they are more sweet than usual so the gravy was to die for with it. I recommend asking for extra gravy because you definitely need more than comes with it.My son got pancakes and they are huge and he says they are delicious as well.The staff is very kind and sweet. Theres a drive thru as well that was hoppin which also serves breakfast and drinks

One of a kind, diamond in the rough. I traveled to Harrisburg to visit family and did not expect this kind of establishment. Fast, friendly, freshly made healthy food that is absolutely delicious. I would recommend to anyone wanting an excellent flavorful coffee or a variety of breakfast options.

Steam Cafe has got to be the best coffee shop in Harrisburg. The wait staff are very kind and courteous, and very flexible with drink orders. All the food is made at home and from scratch--and it is all amazing! The breakfast sandwiches are good, the coffee is good, the dessert food is good--are you getting the point? This place is awesome.

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Good Prices, Kind Employees, Food to Table was Fast. Over all a wonderful experience all in all. Even if the food took a lot longer to get to the table the Atmosphere and the Kind Employees good music and wonderful art and home feeling would make you forget you were there getting food =D. Wonderful place to get some food and a nice hot or cold beverage and chill and read a book surf the web or just hangout.It is definitely a must check out spot if you like a warm atmosphere and great food and great people.Rating 9.5/10

If youre camping in Shawnee and dont mind a short drive for a solid, reasonably-priced breakfast, this is the place. Dont be fooled by the drive-up window - the food is made to order and excellent quality. Selection is limited and portions arent huge, but expect a great basic breakfast that will fill you up - at a great price to boot.
