"I really don't get the hype. Located in a seemingly seedy area of town by the homeless mission so there are droves of homeless people wandering around outside and panhandling. When we arrived, half of the tables were dirty inside but they weren't busy... just one other couple eating. Very small restaurant, eclectic but kinda grungy. Waitress was super nice a..." Read more

"SERVICE ANIMALS NOT WELCOMEQuick Review: Food is good, drinks are good, waitstaff are meh, owner is truly terrible and makes many people's experiences abysmal. Do yourselves a favor and search through the reviews and you'll see a disturbing pattern of this man being mentioned in one star reviews over and over. He often times responds with personal, s..."

"When I called to ask about the daily soup they rudely answered we only serve brunch. I then asked so sandwiches are served, and once rudely stated it's only the brunch menu it's all we serve all day. I went to start to say something and this man rudely hung up on me. I've never been here but just after that phone conversation I will not be. Hopefully they'll..." Read more

"There were three tables with maybe two people at each of them when we came on Friday night and the owner/manager sitting at the bar. We came for the evening and ordered two lemonades, a chai, and a waffle to spit with three. Our waffle came and we had no drinks. Our waitress looked at our table in a state of confusion and in about 10 minutes brought us our d..." Read more

"Just came in around 7:15pm for a waffle and some drinks. We put in an order at 7:20 of two lemonades and a waffle. At around 7:50 we got the waffles and the waitress never brought our drinks. When she finally brought the drinks (with no mention of how late they were) the lemonades tasted like crappy sparkling water with a basil leaf in it (I ordered the blue..." Read more

"Horrible service!  The place is really small and crowded so there is no excuse for slow service.  The servers don't take care of tables in the order seated;more like a homey-hook up system.  Don't waste your time!"

"Urban Steam is awful.  They treat customers horribly, their service is terrible.  They have favorite customers that they cater to, everyone else be damned.  The owner has a foul mouth, responds horribly to critiques. At a recent lunch, a small group came in and it took the place over forty-five minutes to get their food out to them,  When two elderly individ..." Read more

"Crummy service, but delicious sweet potato fries. Felt a bit discriminated against for not wearing a beanie, skinny jeans and black horn rimmed glasses, the wait staff gave half our table lunch and 30 minutes later got the other two sandwiches out and pretty much tossed the plates in front of us and were a bit pissy after we asked about the two missing sandw..."

Today, however, I decided to give it a second chance: I absolutely regret it! It was lunch time, and I ordered a hamburger to take out, the cashier told me that it would be "5 or 7 minutes", and I agreed. 15 minutes..." Read more

"Took my family here mainly because this WAS one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. However, today the owner was a rude and out of line. I placed my dishes neatly at the end of the table to make it more convenient for the staff to clean. This jerk came up to me and says in a extremely rude manner "DONT STACK THE DISHES THEY ARE..."
