let's get Steamie?

A cottage/cabin living room is the best way to describe the atmosphere of Steamie. Located on Argyle Street in Glasgow City this little shop is a home away from home.

A rather strange, but welcoming layout in which the counter is up against the wall eliminating any barriers between customer and barista creates the comfy vibe of Steamie.

Service:

The service was great, the girls were very friendly and very relaxed one could imagine them to be a friend who offered to make you a cup of coffee. Per usual I ordered a pour over of their batch of Steampunk beans. Unfortunately, it was a mild temperature and their ratio of water was too high for the brew creating a rather mild flavor drink.

They were more than willing to provide me with something else so I chose a cortado with soy milk, which was pleasant.

Product:

Overall, everything was a bit disappointing besides the atmosphere. The second drink I received was decent, but would not encourage a second visit. They do boast a wide range of hot chocolates, which tempted my friend who chose a dark chocolate drink. Unfortunately, the method of serving provided my friend with over 16 ounces of hot chocolate at a luke warm temperature that was disappointing.

We tried one carrot cake, that was large and delicious appearing, but was rather dry and too sweet.

Overall Rating: 5.5

Pros: The service was pleasant and the atmosphere is deliciously comforting. Despite the disappointing coffee I enjoyed a good few hours of reading and writing in Steamie.

Cons:

The product served was underwhelming. If you don't like really hot drinks this would be the shop for you.

Good Luck!
