Delicious coffee. I had the flat white, it was perfect. Cool looking venue with live music. Pastries were good as well. Lunch options looked really good but we had already eaten.

Got the vegan breakfast burrito. Note to kitchen: tofu and potatoes taste a lot better with seasoning and spices—like, any at all. Just because it’s the vegan option doesn’t mean it has to be flavorless!Excellent muffin from Crust, though.

The best coffee shop in Phoenixville. Great food and drink options; including those with dietary restrictions. Outdoor seating and live music on weekends. A must try!

Have reasonable expectations when dining here. As a small business, when they are busy, service is sometimes slow. Some details are overlooked.Coffee there is good, but not exceptional compared to places like Dunkin’ Donuts. Like chain places, food is not made fresh every time. They do there best, but sometimes their best is just okay. Don’t expect a runny yoke in your breakfast bowl because you know it wasn’t made when your order was placed. Have reasonable expectations.

I just recently started coming too Steel an I absolutely love it. I love the atmosphere everyone is super accepting an friendly here especially when performers are on stage. An the food an service is always great! Highly recommend coming here.

Rude owner--I think his name was Ed was berating a server for getting the table next to us order wrong. No good bands anymore. Just lackluster and not worth the drama

We were there for the open mic night. Great fun. Staff was friendly, attentive and genuinely caring about the service and quality of our order. Food and drinks were tasty and presented well. A nice place that we will visit again to try more menu items and a beer tasting. Youll enjoy this establishment.

Awsome staff. Very clean. Great atmosphere.

Food is alright. Had the chicken bacon flatbread. Coffee is pretty good, though. Staff is super nice and pricing is pretty reasonable. Atmosphere is great. Went there around noon on a Sunday.

Great chai latte, muffin and breakfast. sandwich

The service of this place is joke. Very poor and the coffee is not as good as WaWa’s. From their reply you can see the professionalism of this business. Have fun living with your excuses instead of improving your business.

Delicious food and phenomenal coffee/tea (plus flavors!). Great place to stop and get your coffee. Employees are always friendly and prompt.

Got a decaf americano and some gluten free thumbprint cookies. The vibe is great and the staff are nice. I’ll definitely be a frequent customer.

Steel city offers tasty drinks with milk alternatives; breakfast and lunch items, with vegan and gluten free options. I highly recommend their iced chocolate chai! They are open seven days a week; street parking available and the staff is very friendly. Checkout their website for brewery and live evening music information.

Ive lived in Phoenixville for over 10 years and cant believe I havent put in a review for Steel City but wanted to share a recent experience. I placed an online order for some coffees about 30 min before closing time and started making my way over.Apparently, the system defaulted the pickup time to tomorrow morning, but they caught it, called me first, and confirmed theyd have it ready for me today. Great service, delicious lattes, and I enjoy their beer on occasion as well! Well continue to be customers.

We had a great time FINALLY visiting this historic venue. While the sound and presentation were perfect, the welcoming homelike atmosphere Ed and Julie provide was much appreciated to a pandemic weary community. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary from us (and all the Malelani community)!

Awesome place.

Stopped in this afternoon to grab a coffee and study for midterms. Ive been coming here for years but its the first time Id been in for while other then just stopping by in the morning to grab a Guatemalan coffee to go. (Some of the best coffee Ive ever had I might add). I had a great experience. Awesome hard rock playlist on the sound system, solid wi-fi connection, great coffee, and good vibes. I stayed for about an hour and half and was productive. Will definitely back for some food or live music.

Ive always loved coming here at night! What a beautiful vibe especially at the stand up nights where everyone wants to just support one another! Starting to eat the food more and its pretty good!The NY sandwich is good. I didnt love the artichoke flatbread... It seemed quite bland and simple. Excited to try more though. They have a lot more vegetarian options compared to the rest of downtown Phoenixville!

Great, fresh latte! The place was pretty busy (Sunday morning) and the service was unaffected. The food (NY Style Fried Egg Sandwich w/bacon on Rosemary olive bread) was amazing! Not too loud to have a conversation and lots of different sized, self-serve tables. A must stop & visit.

Friendly gracious staff. Safe environment. Excellent coffee and fabulous menu. Highly recommend!

Love it here!! I was excited to find out they have lots of vegan options and everything I tried (fruit pastry, chocolate chip cookies, and blueberry scone) were amazing!! I can’t wait to come back

Beer and coffee in one place, what could be bad… Good pastry and very good service

Wonderful joint for live music, coffee, lattes, great food, etc. Did I mention Live Music? The owners are fine people and know good music, and bring in great local and regional acts. I will stop in here every chance I get.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here and it was absolutely perfect. Laura was so responsive since we first inquired. The food was delicious- we had eggplant parm and lemon caper chicken and all our guests were raving. It was the perfect venue for toasts and fun! The whole team was so kind and considerate and I encourage everyone to consider having an event here!

Extremely exclusive, and discriminatory.... Only hire Kosher acts.... Not interested in including artists who want to push the boundaries, and liberate the general public.... They are careful not to hire anyone who would upset their political religious agenda....

Great service, very friendly. Slower because busy.

Very thoughtful shop. A real retreat.

Best place for a breakfast sandwich in Phoenixville. They have plenty of gluten free options if that’s something you need. I love the egg and cheese biscuit! I usually order it with added protein (sausage) and gluten free bread. My husband likes the chicken and black bean burrito w/ added bacon. Their online ordering system, found on their website, is super easy to use and perfect for grab and go during Covid times. I’m thankful for all the safety measures they’ve put into place during this time.

Nice local feel coffee house with good food.

Great venue for intimate concerts. Good brewery beers & food.

BEST LEMONADE, GRILLED CHEESE, AND MAC AND CHEESE IVE EVER HAD!!! plus everyone who works there is quite dashing;)

Management is meh, not welcoming. Drinks are great but energy is off-putting.

Good service and coffee! It’s a good place to study if you don’t mind a little noise.

Great venue great owners and awesome music.

Its Steel City. Literally one of the places that makes Phoenixville, Phoenixville. What are you waiting for? Just go.

Great coffee, delicious pastries and food, and awesome atmosphere

Had the breakfast burrito. Very good.

Great cafe! Allow you to order curbside and sit outside. Bands play inside during non-covid times. A lot of great food options! More than you would think. Coffee is fantastic too.

The perfect local coffee shop that offers more then most. Great drinks, strong menu, diverse options, and live music. Its a staple to the Phoenixville community!

Always friendly, wonderful coffee and this time I tried a pastry! I often don’t get pastries when I’m out because I’m pretty good at making my own, but I knew I was never going to make scones with pistachios and cardamom....it was delicious!

Great service friendly professional staff. Not sure what I would do without my morning cup of coffee.

Saw Terri Camilari, great venue and Terri is wonderful .

Awesome experience at open mic. I was terrified, the audience was supportive, and I got through the song without blacking out and/or vomiting. A great bunch of folks, and I hope to stop by again very soon. (And please multiply my 5 star review by 2. Highly recommended.)

I recently visited for the first time and had a delicious cappuccino and also a toffee biscotti. The atmosphere is eclectic and relaxed. It was a perfect place to sit and have a conversation. Good use of the space available for seating. Would love to come back and catch an open mike night.

Steel City Catered a luncheon for us..sandwiches, salads, desserts. Everything was fresh and tasty. highly recommend

A beautiful place thats inviting and open to everyone! Wonderful food, paintings for sale by local artists and an amazing selection of drinks- caffienated or not!

Amazing open mic and empanadas!!!

Delicious food and coffee. The barista made it special!

Phenomenal coffee and espresso drinks. Great food, with gluten-free options, and a wonderful selection of local baked goods.

Great spot to enjoy a quiet a conversation or peaceful solitude with a nice cup of coffee, a bagel or a carefully crafted breakfadt dish.

Full service coffee shop & pub. Food & Live music offered. Parking on street or nearby pay lots. Wide selection of food, coffee & teas, desserts, including vegan & gluten free options. They feature many locally sourced menu items which is super cool. Support this local gem.

I really enjoyed this coffee shop. Coffee and food were great and I loved the giant mug that somehow was only a medium. Wish I had more time to stay for the live music. Will definitely come back when I am in the area.

Great place to grab a coffee and chill. Coffee is solid and inexpensive with options for the coffee aficionado. Decent meals that range from carnivorous to vegan. I really enjoy the Poached Egg Bowl when I hang out and get some work done.

Nice vibe. A little busy, which should be interpreted as energetic more than distracting. I had the vegetarian broccoli and chickpea soup. It was delicious! The coffee was okay. I just had the dark roast house coffee. The primary complaint was the temperature. It was somewhat warm, but nowhere near as hot as it should have been. The menu was varied, serving breakfast all day. Plenty of spots to plug in a laptop and stay for a while. Seating was average. Not uncomfortable, but it might be after an hour. I would go back, mostly because of the menu and its a place you can just be for a while.

Excellent coffee, very delicious lunch. Baby changing table in the bathroom what is really nice extra for a mom. Too bad its in the smaller bathroom, with the stroller it was a bit tight but we managed. Kind and nice costumer service.

Great morning mojo medium roast and delicious breakfast sandwich this morning! Super friendly too

The owners are crushing it. The food is way way better than I would expect for “a coffee shop.” I was immensely surprised with the quality of the cold brew, the loving community vibe, and the attentiveness of the staff. I’ve been coming to Steel City for 10 years off and on, and the new owners (who have had it for 2 years) are the first that make me feel energized about both the music but also the strength of their business. I love to see a local business who is diversified but also listens to their core customers who want coffee and music. Wait, they have beer now too?!? Heck yea.

Cute little coffee shop to hang out in. Staff has always been friendly when we visited. I have to agree with a previous reviewer that the placement of the register is not in an ideal spot. Cool spot otherwise! Try one of their brookies! Yum!

The food is delicious! Employees were super nice. Fried peanut butter & jelly sandwich and mac & cheese. So good. Their unsweetened iced tea is perfect. Usually homemade tea is very weak but this was strong. I will definitely be back.

Amazing specialty drinks... apple pie chai latte is a must try in the fall and winter!

Great coffee, very friendly staff, love the little market! ☕

Friendly staff, great coffee. I ordered a breakfast burrito. It was awesome, filling and tasty

Ive only been here twice and each time I leave totally stuffed from the amazing breakfast foods. Im not much of a breakfast person, but their food is worth it. The staff are super friendly and the place is really relaxed.

Kicking myself for not coming here sooner! Great coffee, excellent food (café style with all-day breakfast and lunch items), relaxed atmosphere, plus some adult beverages. And employee Asia was super sweet!

Steel City has changed so many times I cannot count. Home to local bands, good coffee, and now beer?? (have not tried yet). Happy the Phoenix mural has been restored.

Fantastic music venue and cafe setting with some of the most compassionate, caring, and driven owners ive ever met. Top quality food, fantastic teas and coffees, and friendly staff. If anywhere deserves a visit in Phoenixville, Steel City deserves it three times as much.

Great food and coffee. Gluten free available. Friendly staff. Quiet comfortable atmosphere. Live music offerings too. Worth the trip.

Great place to hear singer songwriters, enjoy really good food, pastries, coffee, tea (mattcha latte was delicious), an IPA, wine, or cocktail. Friendly atmosphere, small town feel. Highly recommend.

Great coffee, deserts and live music

Great breakfast spot. Great sandwiches and pastries

Great coffee, gluten free options, and they also have beer & wine. Staff is friendly, and open mic night is great. Definitely worth checking out.

Great place. Good food, good coffee, friendly staff. The only criticism I have is the placement of the register creates a bottleneck of people when its busy.

My Online order was handled perfectly and with cheer. The food was delicious

Awesome atmosphere. Great place to get your morning coffee or a bite to eat- highly recommend the breakfast burrito. Their lunch menu is great too. Love coming here to work or meet clients!

Nice coffeehouse atmosphere. Coffee and breakfast in the morning.Beer and music on weekends

Great music venue. A little crowded but works. Fantastic food and deserts...and coffee drinks. New owners are awesome.

Nice place... came in to see the story telling during Blob Fest 2019. Workers were very friendly. I didnt get any food but my ice green tea matcha drink was good.

First time visiting Steel City back on Saturday night. Great atmosphere and service along with solid food and brews. Will definitely be back to this hidden gem!

Local with a nice vibe. Good place to hangout and meet friends. Good coffee. Fun evenings with local talent.

I guess its trendy but I am not really the trendy type. Kind of pricy. The coffee was pretty good. I was given the option of subbing out my potatoes for asperagus and mushrooms and they were delicious. I was there for breakfast. It was a nice place with a stage for entertainment. I guess I did like it.

Awesome hip.little spot. Bohemian, artsy vibe but not at all pretentious. Friendly staff and an interesting mix of people. Very relaxing and cozy and prices are great. Only downside is parking in downtown phoenixville.

Fun little coffee shop with many tasty offerings. Fun, clean ambiance. Friendly staff.

Great coffee locally roasted, and the food is made with a lot of heart. Love the live music.

Good iced tea... always on point. nice place to vibe.

Excellent grilled cheese and bacon! Good coffee too. A tad bit expensive and parking can be rough, especially for physically challenged people. I enjoyed myself! Great service!

Ed & Laura breathed new life into a gem that Phoenixville almost lost forever. Great coffee, great food, great aesthetic. Friendliest staff in the world. Steel City is better than ever!

Service is always quick and their mocha cant be beat

First time here. Matcha was delicious. Esthetic was very nice. Want to come back to try to vegan scones and for an open mic night

Good coffee a bit pricey. Nice live entertainment and community events. Had a meet and greet with local cartoonist. Loved it.

As a musician AND music lover, I can say that this is probably the best place in Chester County to hear (and play) original music. It has a very comfortable vibe, and the intimate setting keeps everyone close to the stage. Very few venue owners have guts and commitment to the music to ask their patrons (nicely) to be quiet and listen to the performers, but these guys do. They have also worked hard to foster a community of local musicians, and do a lot to help beginning and upcoming ones have a place to be heard and get better. Steel City is great! (The food, coffees and desserts are great, too.)

Saturday morning stop in after an early motorcycle ride.....so glad it was open, some places closed in town for breakfast. I ordered the homemade biscuit with egg. It was so good. My son had the same. They serve homebrew in the AM, a definite bonus! I got a unique lemonade cold brew...interesting coffee/lemonade mix...loved it. Homemade scone - blueberry lemon...really good! The service is on point and friendly as could be. Chill atmosphere on the main st.....lotsa people watching. I will definitely come back for more eats, and most likely music. 😎

Love this place

My family loves Steel City!We come here every Wednesday while one child has their piano lesson at C.J.s Pianos around the corner and have a great time then swap for the others turn to get a treat. Theres often small business professionals working and the great music isnt too loud. The coffee is always good and the food is terrific! Definitely the best quick bite to eat in town!

I cant start my day without steel city. Awesome staff and food is always great. Favorite coffee shop in town.

Went here for coffee. Half a pound of freshly ground morning mojo ground for a French press $9 and change) along with a cup of it to go. When my to go coffee tasted watered down I assumed it had to do with an employee new to making coffee. Then I got home to make my own cup and it was just as bad. I dont know about anything else they sell, but it doesnt bode well that their selling coffee flavored mulch at a high price. Would not recommend.

Love this place! If you like music it is a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday night. The staff is also amazing.

We had a fabulous meal here and wish we lived closer to go there more frequently...the staff were extremely nice, the atmosphere is great, the owners are wonderful, and the food is delicious...you must stop in if youre in the area.

I love Steel City! Awesome food and drink, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff.

I often go on the weekend, enjoy a latte and a breakfast egg & cheese biscuit while I do a little work. The food is fresh, the staff is friendly, the coffee is great. I cant say much about the live entertainment, because Im usually there way too early.
