Great location, friendly staff who always have a smile. Very happy with their food and drink selection. The music they play is pretty good. They don't have Wi-Fi but don't let that discourage you because I have had both Sprint, which is terrible and T-Mobile which is much better and have never had a problem using the internet or making phone calls while I'm in the cafe. I tend to go in there on Sundays, it's a little bit more chill in my opinion, less people rushing around trying to get to and from work. The last time I went was today, I got a Triple Espresso, just shots mind you, I'm Italian and don't have time to drink a big coffee, but their expressos are great and they are very smooth. I think the first time I came to this location was back in 2009, I'm sure they've been here longer than that but the place has expanded and now they have much more room for seating which is great for the weekdays when people are rushing in and out. I'm hoping that my review was helpful to you, if it was please upvoted and message me if you actually went and had a good experience, I love making recommendations.

I've been a Steve's Espresso customer since 2007. In that time, it's gone through several different phases. In 07, it was a small, stylish coffeehouse that stayed open late, offered great French Press, and constantly thumped with electronica. Every table had a plug strip and the wifi was reliable. Then came the fall. Steve cheaped out and got rid of the wifi and plug strips. He replaced all the little work tables with club chairs and midcentury tables. He tried adding food, but it was mostly just light fare and pastries. Then he started closing earlier and earlier. At one point, they were closing at like 2pm! Now, they've expanded dramatically, both in terms of physical space and offerings. They serve genuinely good hot meals and great coffee. They've got a ton of usable seating including work areas and overstuffed sofas. They still close early, but 5pm is better than 2. Steve, if you would bring back the wifi and stay open late, yours would be my favorite cafe in the country.

Atmosphere is easy to create for a coffee shop. Today, it's an expectation that spaces like these are open, airy, and have lots of power plugs for charging. It's also a nonnegotiable that your local coffee spot has WIFI. A huge miss on Steve's part. No charging spots and no local hotspot. I ordered the pastrami and brie on a croissant. The chips on the side were the star of the show. The croissant was cold, just like being pulled from a fridge. The brie was slightly melted and was topped with a heavy spread of horseradish. The sandwich needs something else to balance it out. Now to the bathroom. It reeked of sewer and sulfur. Despite the multiple air fresheners in there the problem needs to be addressed especially when there's food and drink being served. I was there for hours for business planning and the smell would come and go in the main part of the shop. In retrospect, the nasty water in my iced coffee and food served on the dishes lead me to never going back. Lots of misses and no hits.

The misses was in need of an espresso before heading to the movies. There were a few coffee shops (that will remain unnamed) between us and the theater but we decided it was time to experiment and venture to a new spot. Found Steve's, thanks to yelp, and changed our course a few blocks to the north. What awaited us inside was a bachelor pad of a coffee shop; mismatched furniture, tacky artwork on the walls, a blue ceiling and mirrors with orange frames. But somehow it really works. Good prices on their offerings and coffee beans are ground in-house. I had a snickerdoodle cookie and it was quite good, I'm also told the espresso was delicious. They have a food menu, too - I will be back to try the breakfast tacos. I can certainly envision myself coming here to get some work completed or to zone out and read a book on their awesome looking couch.

Trendy coffee shop off McClintock & Baseline (across from Chevy) .. They have no wifi.. I will start there .. this is a cute place to meet up with someone for coffee or a quick meal.. or to read a books .. not a place to work if you need the internet.. Coffee drinks are good.. deep rich flavors.. brewed to order .. I've had the quiche on a previous visit that was so good .. I now make a similar version at home .. imitation is the best form of flattery (they say) Today I had a caramel macchiato with a croissant with butter and jam .. the drink was very sweet .. omg! The croissant was cold .. the jam & butter smeared on each bite .. buttery flaky goodness Fast service.. I'll be back for another visit soon

Interesting atmosphere, decorations and plenty of comfortable seating means we will come back and try this place again but the beverages were just average. We got a cappachino and a carmel macchiato. They don't know what either should be clearly. The espresso was good but the milk and foam was not done correctly on either and that's what makes the drinks.

Loving Steve's Espresso! My friend and I were looking for a place to grab a coffee/tea and chat before a wellness event, and Steve's Espresso popped up on Yelp. The staff here is just SO friendly! They have a nice little selection of teas, and they're always great about explaining each one. My first time there, I tried a chai tea, and my second time I enjoyed an iced chamomile tea. Both were wonderful. They have comfy seating (couches, lounge chairs, etc.), and the atmosphere is very welcoming. While we were there, we also tried one of their gluten free peanut butter cookies, which was divine! I expect we'll be back whenever we want to have a chat and a coffee. Thanks to the staff for being so awesome!

Steve's has been in my neighborhood for years and I've only stopped in twice and that's when I'm getting my nails done. I want to slap my own forehead for not coming more hereoften. "smack!" After my latest mani/pedi I was in need of a java jolt. I ducked into Steve's and ordered a medium ice coffee. Service was quick (it was a slow time in the later afternoon) and the barista friendly. I added a little milk to my drink and man-o-man was it perfect. Smooth and rich and what can I say...perfecto! The atmosphere was so nice and calming with wooden seating that I decided to plop down for a while instead of heading home. I read my new book and sipped my caffeine and totally relaxed. I could have stayed longer and probably should have to take advantage. Instead, I'll come back more often and enjoy my neighborhood coffee bar.

This place is a hidden gem. Stopped in while the car was getting the oil changed across the street. The avocado toast (really good) and coffee were most excellent. The vib was low key and relaxing. Wait staff were pleasant and courteous. A nice way to pass a couple of hours while waiting on the car.

I wasn't super impressed. I did like the atmosphere with a variety of seating options and eclectic decor. I was a little disappointed with my food and coffee. I ordered the onion mushroom frittata,croissant w jam and a cappuccino. Cappuccino - my foam died in two mins and the coffee was just ok. Croissant - a little crispy on the outside, nice and flakey but it lacked the fresh butter taste and had more of a bread after taste. Frittata- eggs were a little over cooked and way too many potatoes. I was hoping for a little protein to go with my croissant. That being said, the vibe was good so I'll give it another try perhaps getting a salmon wrap and iced latte next time.

Thought for a brief second I had found my new local coffee spot. Lots of drink choices . decent food menu and even serves beer and liquor ... Has comfy couches and cool seating options.... But no Wi-Fi? This explains why at a time when other coffee shops are super busy this place only had 1 person in it. You can not run a shoo like this without Wi-Fi and frankly its sends the wrong signal to would be customers .

Okay this place has changed, upgrade! Same tasty coffee. Fave is Aztec coffee. Location has expanded. Multiple places to sit: boothes, dinning table, single comfy chairs, couch and basic stool seating. More food varieties. Negative....still NO WIFI.

Our go-to local coffee shop. You know those times when all you really want is to sit down for a bit with a friend and have them focus on the conversation without getting distracted by their electronic devices? Steve's is the place for that. They've been wi-do free for a few years and it's great. This is my place to study distraction free. Service: Like most coffee shops, self serve. The baristas usually have a smile for you and often greet customers by name. Food and Drink: black coffee is tasty, I think they brew it using a French press method instead of a paper drip filter. I could be off on that though. Italian sodas with cream are always a favourite too. Their food is dangerous. Sometimes I come I just wanting a coffee. And then the staff start baking, and the smells waft over to my table. And then I'm eating something I didn't even know I wanted. Breakfast brioches and quiches are super tasty too! Steve has really revamped the cafe in the last year or so, making it more than just a place to grab coffee. Ambiance: it's good for groups, couples, singles. It's good for reading, chatting, and people watching. Sometimes the music gets too loud to concentrate, but that's the only complaint I have. I've been here so many times since I moved to Tempe, and I'll probably continue until I move out of state.

THERE IS NO WI-FI IN THIS COFFEE SHOP. Went to grab something to eat and a coffee. The coffee is decent but too much foam to my Latte so i had less coffee actually. Sandwich was very good with their fresh bread and eggs(recommended). The place looks nice and comfortable to be in but with no Wi-Fi it feels like a restaurant to come and eat not like other coffee shops that wants you to enjoy the time there and even welcome to work on your laptop while you enjoy the coffee.

Totally a bummer I have to go to Starbucks because I am a professional & I work......My work is on a laptop & need that WiFi. I love this spot, & would spend a copious amount of money, but can't even bring clients here because I need that WiFi to be on point & make that money to spend more money on coffee.

This place is super cool. I met a buddy there, had a breakfast sandwich, and a chai tea latte. They were awesome!! I'm not a coffee, nor a café, snob, so your mileage may vary. But, if you're in the area, check 'em out for yourself and see!

Hands down best coffee in the West valley, and for sure the best in Tempe. I love it because they do coffee and they do it great. They also have great food/pastries. We love this place!

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Coffee isn't the best I've had, but still better than the chain stuff. I'll be back for sure, and hopefully I just got a bad roast this time.
