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.

I have needed to come to Harrisburg for the past 2 days and today the place I needed to go had a sign that they would not be open until 11am and I needed to get something to eat during my wait so I looked online and found Steam Cafe. I'm a coffee shop junkie so this fit the bill Everyone was so kind! I didn't have this experience yesterday, 97% of the people I encountered were not friendly. The food was delicious! They give a really good size portion, I get to take some home to share with my fur babies! The service was impeccable! You order at the counter, but after that they took care of what I needed with a smile. Very impressed! I will be back, with my husband, very soon! My and my belly are full Thank you so much!

Order at the counter and seat yourself! Really cozy and cute coffee shop in a pretty rural area; we were so happy to get iced lattes before heading to Shawnee. Good breakfast and coffee and the staff were very kind despite how busy they were when we came in!

We found this place by accident while traveling as it is located around the corner. We didn't have any expectations however we were quite surprised on how much we enjoyed our breakfast. Our family ordered pancakes, french toast, a breakfast sandwich,and the normal eggs with toast and hash browns. It turned into "You got to try a bite of mine". I am not as much of a food person as my wife but I have to admit that I really enjoyed my breakfast and each sample of my family's meal as well. It has a quiet atmosphere with great service. It sounds strange but they have a drive through as well. This was a delightful surprise on our trip!

So surprised how good the food was. They have real food not just muffins like I thought coffee shops only had. Highly recommend the breakfast bowls.
