| - Of all the coffee shops downtown, Steep & Brew is justifiably one of the most loved. From the subtle scent of coffee grounds, to the soft lighting, spacious tables, and cozy couches, it makes sense that snagging a spot here on a Sunday afternoon can be quite a struggle. However once you are able to settle in, you won't want to leave and there's no need to. With a menu offering customized waffles and oatmeal, and a bakery case displaying oodles of sweet and savory goodness, you can easily make Steep & Brew your home for the day.
While the atmosphere and food options are an added bonus, it's the drinks that will have you coming back for more. Don't let the cost of coffee shop bevies scare you away. In addition to their almost perpetual deals on the Hooked app, Steep & Brew offers a frequent buyer punch card that'll set you on your way to a free cup in no time.
As far as these drinks go, they've got the best ginger tea in town. Bold statement, I realize, considering I'm a ginger tea connoisseur these days. But Steep & Brew's version is the most ginger packed and spicy and oh so good. Tons of dried ginger goes into the making of this tea and they aren't skimpy.
Steep & Brew is also home of my current favorite chai tea latte. Yep, this fragrant concoction is a staple on coffee shop menus, yet few do it right. The evolving variety of chai blends makes for an ever unique flavor trip, and it's our innate curiosity that leads us to try it at many different shops. Crafting the ideal chai, however, is a veritable art form. There is indeed a fine line between excessive sweetness and subtle sugar undertones, an unwelcome abundance of milk and a perfect level of creaminess. If there is one coffee shop that masters this balancing act, it is Steep & Brew.
While chai is a black tea and already contains caffeine, if you're in the mood for an extra dose then check out their Dirty Chai. It combines the loveliness of the aforementioned chai with a robust shot of espresso to create a drink that it slightly less sweet and certainly generates an added jolt. Whether you decide to go dirty or not, the chai is a must try.
*Expert tip: ask for an added Cuban shot in your chai tea latte, or any other coffee beverage for that matter, and prepare for greatness. This 'Cuban pull' refers to an espresso shot that's been sweetened with sugar during the brewing process, which allows for a nice caramelized sweetness that supplements many of Steep & Brew's drinks quite nicely. Impress your friends and order this guy with your usual cuppa.
