"We came here rolling deep as we had a 30 minute break from our work conference. We initially were struggling to find this place as it is tucked away in the Modern Art Museum but finally, putting our 5 heads together, we persevered. Survive and Advance baby. They were out of cold brew so I called an audible *BLUE 80, BLUE 80* and got an iced americano with an extra shot. When my drink came and the barista shouted "iced americano with an extra shot" One of my coworkers was like "Damn you got 3 shots?!" I responded with a smug and arrogant "Oh you saw that? You weren't supposed to see that........." ahahahahahha. I never know how to respond to stuff like that so I just like to stay loose and have fun with it. In a complete act of vulnerability, I will tell you that I don't drink coffee for the taste at all. I just like how it makes me feel. I think if anyone tells you they like the taste of black coffee they're either lying or a straight psycho. It's more of the fact that I know this taste will get me LOCKED IN. Getting milk based drinks just kinda takes away from the locked-in-ness. Hey, I just got back from the locked in factory and nobody knew you.... All this to say, I smiled upon the first sip of my iced americano, because I rarely taste the concoction of espresso and water and think "damn this is actually kind of tasty." They really know what they're doing in here. They did, in fact, know about SFMOMA Steps Coffee at the locked in factory.... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__"

"Happy to have a cafe in the museum I have a membership to. Friendly and quick service. Interesting cold brew machine but taste great. Same effect of low acidity. Charging stations but you need to provide your own usb. Communal table is also a Puzzle table. Compostable ware is a plus"

"Nice people, but this is not a place with trained baristas serving good beans. I have a haphazard, gritty flat white made from Illy."

"The coffee beans they use here are horrible.. extremely dark roast and bad quality. I was surprised to even find coffee this bad in SF."

"Service was fine, place is nicely decorated, but coffee, despite the fact that it is Illy, was quite disappointing. Sightglass coffee set the bar very high — I expected Steps to be on par with Sightglass."
