SteamPunk Cafe in Port Alberni

The pleasure of entering a beautiful and pleasant world, the sweetness of a good coffee in your hand, just curious about every detail, every quote, with a service done with a smile and the pleasure of pleasing.

Cute little cafe with tons of fun drinks. Great place to escape the heat and have a treat.

Nice place coffee is good

Good service and selection of coffee.

Cool vibe, decent coffee.

Great vibes in the Cafe, staff is awesome always so friendly and polite. Love this little Cafe so much

Cheese bombs are the

A really great place to have a coffee. All kinds of interesting items on display and the staff are very good. The food has always surpassed my expectations.

I m not a local Port Albernian but visit a couple of times a year to see family. Steampunks makes the best coffee and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It s definitely worth a trip to the other side of town.

Sat in to have lunch and a few meetings. They had free wifi and amazing soup and sandwich.

Awesome place to have lunch. Tomato basil soup and the carnivore sandwich pictured. Really good! Free wifi

A really lovely spot to study. Unpretentious with lots of books. Perfect

Its definitely a very nice place. Its funky, its handy at times, there are books to read, if you need that, and there are lots of options in terms of seating. Not a while lot of space, but options. The food options are decent, and fresh. Their coffee blend options are, to be frank, not my favourite, but thats a matter of personal taste. They do allow you to do your own sugar and cream, which is an option too often neglected these days. The prices do tend to be a bit steep, but I suspect that is necessary to pay for the rest of the amenities.

Nice place. Out of ice though. Good coffee. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. I would recommend it

Decent Capp.

Love the name, love the decor, but not so much the atmosphere. Walking in I anticipated the warm smell of a bustling cafe, and instead there was an odour of wet couch/jacket/fur. There is no music playing and no sense of dynamism. I took my coffee into the reading area which was very well designed and has a cool vibe to it. This vibe was stymied due to the cold temperature in the room. I found myself cupping the coffee mug just to warm my hands. This was my third trip to the cafe and it s been the same each time. I wanted so badly to fall in love with this place given it s name and connection to all thinks nerdy, but it seems that it does not have this life, it s just a another corner coffee store.

Good mocha, comfy chairs, and lots to look at. There are two sections, one with tables and chairs and one called The Reading Room plus an outdoor patio. My kind of music - 70s and 80s, but ones I havent heard for a while.

Bought a feta salad bowl. Looked nice enough. Iceberg lettuce Shredded carrot A bit of tomato A Tiny bit if shaved feta. All tasted blah. Not fresh Really disappointed. Service ok but not very friendly. I will be walking down to Grassroots at Harbor Quay, where the prices are comparable and the freshness and taste is amazing. Goodbye Steampunk.

Just left with an delicious maple latte! The service was great, the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The latte doesnt compare to Starbucks and a fraction of the price! Do yourself a favor and stop in

This place has a very beautiful reading lounge!! It is a must stop if you re travelling to Port Alberni!! Very cute coffee shop

It has been our first time in this café. We got there by accident (just to get the time over during our laundry has been washed just around the corner) and I loved it. The coffee was delicious, the atmosphere was very comfortable (the even have a read area with cozy armchairs) and the service was very friendly and welcoming. We will defenitely come here again and do highly recommend this place:)

Only place I like to go in town!

The interior is absolutely beautiful. The offer is very diverse. The service was really nice.

I love suggesting this spot! Their soups are delicious, and theyve got great drinks. I love going there with either my grandma or my best friends, we check out the books or we just gather and socialize. The butter chicken soup I had once was SO GOOD! Very flavorful with spices, but not *hot* spicy, so everyone loved it :)

Great coffee. Favorite coffee find.

Great staff, great coffee very fresh.

Very nice place.

Our secret cafe stop when driving from Victoria to Tofino. Well worth the 5 minute trip off the highway

Lovely place and inviting atmosphere

Coffee is pretty good, brewed with enough kick. Dark roasts arent super heavy like a Sumatra from SB, so its a nice change. Baked goods are fresh and full of ingredients that they say they have - not some suggestion of flavour that one might see with one of the big coffee chains. Havent sat down there to work or chat or read, but looks comfortable enough.

Wonderful Cafe, their soups and sandwiches are great for breakfast, brunch and lunch! The aesthetics are great, very homey interior. Great spot to relax with a cup of tea and a good book.

I got an Americano here. It was good. Funky little place. Service was good. Wish they had oat milk on the bar, I only saw milk and cream.

Good , staff seemed off today but my Caramel Machiato was yummy

Always good

Great coffee, great prices. Delicious baked goods, sandwiches and salads. Excellent patio for people watching in downtown Port.

Coffee was good and so was the service. Would love to see prices posted for retail items so I dont have to ask about each individual one haha

Feels very homey and the people are usually nice, the food and drinks are also good

Good soup

Really sweet cafe! They have these amazing savoury pastries, would go back to Port Alberni just for these to be honest. Lots of baked goodies, a good london fog, milk alternatives, and it s very cozy. They also have an array of frozen prepared foods that can be purchased - you can the thoughtfulness. Service was really great as well. We look forward to returning!

Lots of selection for coffee but not much for food. The cinnamon bun was alright but I recommend going somewhere else if you want something besides coffee. Parking: Not much parking since its on the side of a somewhat busy road. Kid-friendliness: There is a small kids area with books.

Great place for coffee and its local made in bc and locally owned by someone who lives in Port Alberni. Its better then Starbucks to me. The desserts are amazing. Books and comfy chairs make it cozy. And coffe cups and swag arent funny too. Vegetarian options: There is keto friendly and vegan vegetarian and sugar free options here Parking: Parking out front. Street access.

Cozy and calming setting. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and even a little reading lounge. Breakfast sandwich was good with fresh ingredients although in my opinion the onion was a little too thick cut causing it to overpower some of the other flavours. More importantly though, the coffee was great! Worth stopping by.

Amazing cuddle place. Not overcrowded, good coffee, nice stuff :) What else do you want? Thanks guys

Found it by happenstance, really cool design with great coffee.

Loved it, the interior is amazing, muffin fresh out of the oven and coffee tasty, nice stop, highly recommended

Very cute cafe, definitely worth a visit.

Lovely atmosphere and decore. Definitely enjoyed the vibes! Theres a reading area in the café as well which feels very cozy with antique furniture to go with the Steampunk theme. I got a dirty chai latté and a muffin, both were delicious. I will be coming back!!! :) Vegetarian options: Pastries are vegetarian but unsure about vegan options. Dietary restrictions: Dairy alternaves available such as oat and almond milk.

Barista Abby made my day

Awesome experience, ordered and sat in the library room with my family. We all felt very chilled..worth stopping by this place

Steampunk Cafe has the hot bevvies to keep you fueled through rounds of board games and chapters of books which can be enjoyed in their Board Room and Library - included with your purchase

Broccoli soup was bomb

A fantastic boutique coffee shop with attached bookstore. Great selection of food and beverages, and friendly, cheerful staff are a welcome oasis any time of day. A great addition to the changing face of old downtown.

I liked the coffee

Not friendly

Daily soup specials!!!! Great service, COVID protocols in place, clean and open space, seating in the reading nook and Cafe side. Take a bake frozen meals, delicious fresh hot beverage and sandwich/ panini as well as salads

Excellent coffee, great food and the best herb and garlic cream cheese Ive ever had. Plus a beautiful esthetic and atmosphere, and friendly staff!

The cafe and sandwich are excellent

Very nice staff.

Staff are always courteous and on point!

Worst coffee ever. Had to pour it down the drain

Our favorite place to go for coffee and vegan paninis! Great customer service! Love the atmosphere! Would be wicked if they served hashbrowns as well.

Good for breakfast!

Cappuccino wasnt good at all, so bitter, cannot drink it at all

Visited 3 or 4 times. There s only one nice girl behind cash - seems to be the youngest one. Whenever it s busy the customers seem like a bother and staff were actually get frustrated with each other - bumping into one another. I never feel welcomed. Prices are high for what you get with respect to the sandwiches. Won t be back. Much rather mountain view bakery.

Super easy going place to chill out and relax and get your work or reports done. Has got the best vibe to relax and read a book or hang out with friends. Looking forward to going there often.

Great place for coffee and lunch. Have a separate reading room. Unique decor, kind of funky. Best to come and treat yourself and check it out

Best coffee shop in town now, owner is amazing and staff are fantastic. 10/10 will become a regular for sure

Great menu which is very well executed. Vegetarian and vegan options are flavourful and an absolute delight! Atmosphere is comforting and fun with a splash of steampunk fantasy. The library/parlor is magical and I cant wait to visit again!

The owner needs a lesson in good customer service. Her grumpy attitude she gave me when I tried to change a fiver to leave a tip was enough to stop me from returning. One bad review is worth ten good ones, so improve your attitude, stay at home or continue to lose business. In Port Alberni, every customer matters.

Had some packaged vegan options but fresh baking would have been awesome. Great coffee though!

Cool little cafe with a neat aesthetic. Very cozy. Service was fast and friendly despite being busy. Coffee was very good. Would come back despite the owners clear misunderstanding of what steam punk is.

Thank you

Great and friendly customer service!

Coffee is alright but the portion sizes are large.

Great coffee great service and the baked goods (especially the scones) are better than a lot of bakeries make.

An awesome stop on our way to Tofino for book lovers The coffee was not that good, but everything else was perfect : The breakfast sandwich were delicious, the service was great and the little room just beside the coffee is sooooo nice ! You can bring a free book home. It s so cute!!! I loved it. Definitely recommend this place for the food & atmosphere, but they could improve on the coffee. It tasted like water mostly

Good eats and very good dark roast drip.

Delicious specialty coffee!

Very relaxing atmosphere, nice staff, hot drinks are just the right temperature. Overall a good and enjoyable place to be

Good coffee and relaxing atmosphere.

Great Mocha Latte!!

Nice chilled cafe with a great theme

I never thought Id need a steampunk cafe, but I sure was wrong. Totally awesome vibes here - I would totally recommend stopping here to check it out.

It has great coffee and the staff are great

Steampunk used to be my favorite coffee shop in town. They had great hot specialty drinks, soup, sandwiches, and the muffins were amazing! It was all crave worthy! Now that management has changed, there is a noticeable difference in the ingredients and quality. I have been there a few times and had my usuals, which tasted nothing like they used to. So disappointing.

Food was meh grabbed a prepacked Greek noodle salad and it was somehow both soggy and crusty. Almond milk burnt in my latté. The staff person who helped me didnt smile and was overall unfriendly. Really cool atmosphere though!

who does not like Art Deco and steampunk stuff? Coffee are amazing

Great place to stop for coffee and a muffin

Miss the old owners. This went from fun and spunky, to ULTRA religious. I noticed kids toys and books were replaced with religious brochures. Wont be returning.

Came here on my 28th birthday. Driving to tofino. Coffee was good, lots of vegan and gluten free options. I dont care for steampunk, I think its the worst genre of fiction. Im not about to start wearing goggles and collecting gears but I will say that was a damn fine cup of coffee.

Love love love this place! Coffee is smooth and satisfying. Food is yummy

Dont really see the steam punk but they have nice coffee

Very cool ambience with a neat wood burnt mural of the Nautilus fighting the giant squid. Had an herbal tea and it was the temperature of pure steam.

Awesome place for a healthy lunch

They serve great coffee from Creekmore

Only got a coffee, but I could have stayed there all day.. the ambiance is amazing so much detail!

Good coffee and refreshing aesthetic. Also, check out their sweet merch!

A bit slow but worth the wait.

Cozy, huge book lending library covering an entire rooms walls, fantastic coffee, lots of room, comfy chairs and couches, best in town!

Decent coffee at an underwhelmingly-steampunk cafe. The statue of liberty with the steampunk vibe was, however, a fantastic and memorable image so I give this place 4/5.

Its damm good

Always great. Love their coffee and atmosphere. Staff is super friendly.

Wonderful themed coffee shop! Lots of interesting decor. Huge free borrowing library! Beautiful brand new boardroom. Local souvenirs and tshirts. Great hot food, muffins, salads, sandwiches, lots of tasty gluten free options. Kevin, the owner, has a great little gem in this place. Be sure to stop in!

I would like to suggest to avoid this shop or Check your receipt whenever you pay with your debit or credit card. One day, the staff typed one more zero and made almost 50 dollars. Later we found it. Okay, I admit this was our mistake because we didnt check the receipt if the amount was correct or not. But when we called the store, the owner said they thought it was a tip! It was a total lie. They input the high number first and we just pressed the enter button. If I were a business owner, I wouldnt do that reaction because of that 40 some dollars.

Love the atmosphere. Cosy and upbeat.

good food and great service

Community Hub - Great place to have business meetings. The owner has such a warm caring spirit which resonates in all his endeavors. He has raised a very intelligent, grounded daughter who also works with him at the cafe from time to time. Congrats on your engagement- awesome family values. Thank You Wright Family for making Port Alberni your home and caring so much!!

Great little location, excellent service. Well made hand crafted drinks, and a few yummy Gluten Free Treats

Kevin and family never fail in their quality and delivery

Good place to grab a quick bite, a hot soup , or a tasty coffee , enjoy some alone time or read a book, never noisy nor crowded.

Relaxing place with excellent service

Very positive experience good coffee good food fantastic eclectic atmosphere decorated with a sense of the artistic great comfortable chairs

Great coffee, great service.

One of the best voffee shops on the island

Excellent espresso!

Service was great..cheerful and helpful. Food was very good with a bit of a flavour twist that was a nice surprise. We have always enjoyed our visits here.

Great coffee. Great food. Staff is always friendly.

Awesome coffee shop in 3rd Ave

Terrible coffee, good cinnamon Bunn.

Best cafe on the island in my opinion. Just needs to offer some more food choices. When I was there last there were a few salads and sandwiches. Your tea selection is the best as well as the atmosphere. Everyone I talk to says that steampunks is the best. I agree.

Pretty good muffins

Very eclectic spot to grab some coffee and treats. Sit down and enjoy the free book library and steam punk themed reading area.

Great javas, teas; freshly baked muffins and pastries; freshly made sandwiches and soups; and above all terrific staff and beyond amazing, clean and whimsical atmosphere! Enjoy spacious regular table seating, or big comfy chairs in the library, or the outdoor patio! Theres also the Nautilus Room which can be booked for meetings. Theres something for everyone!

Fantastic place cool steam punk architecture and decor. Great service and food. Really cool faux steel girders .. submarine meeting room.

Coffee was good

I visited Steampunk for the first time yesterday and had a delicious caramel macchiato. The cafe was clean, well decorated, and everyone was so friendly. The reading lounge is a great idea and has a relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!

You will like the food condiments and coffee.My favorite muffin they make is called the cheese bomb.Very good nutritious salads and great lattes.I like the green tea latte

Very comfortable cafe with an attached little library. Great latte and mocha.

Great coffee & service. Nice street patio, although a bit noisy. Will go again & again.

One of the best coffee places Ive been to.

Great coffee!!!

Nice and quaint location. Breakfast sandwich was tasty. Cool little library where you can read a wide variety of books.

Amazing cinnamon buns and coffee! Great atmosphere and service!

Great London fog

Great coffee house with very friendly staff.

Really good flat white, best Ive had on the Island! Great atmosphere. Good service.

Was treated horribly in this place by the chef from the back. Do not recommend. No longer offer vegan options unless youre there when someone feels like making you some (they did in the past, but treated me horribly when I went in requesting the same thing again).

The ham breakfast sandwich is amazing....all their sandwiches are amazing....Im going to go there now. Great staff and very cool vibe, great for the valley and great for uptown port alberni. :) happy customer!

Food was excellent, service was friendly and the atmosphere was very inviting! Great spot

Really good coffee!! AND food

The butter chocken soup is to die for. 10/10

We always enjoy our stop at Steampunk, sometimes on a walkabout, sometimes as a destination. Owner and staff are very friendly, the coffee is delicious, food is yummy, theres books to read in the library and different kinds of seating; tables and chairs or soft couches.

Great atmosphere! Good coffee & nice people

Great little coffee house.. Dark Roast available , books to read, food for the hungry, baked goods, background music and quaint conversation seating areas Outside patio for a perfect day like today And a slightly larger room inside available for smaller group functions. Reasonably priced coffee, relaxed atmosphere, and great coffee partner(s) like my sister in law....perfect way to start my day

Tasty breakfast sandwich, good atmosphere.

Great coffee and nice atmosphere.

A wonderful coffee shop with great food. I especially enjoyed a recent soup of the day (pesto chicken with sunflower seeds).

Quirky Stop Loved this coffee shop with a reading room attached Funky decor and friendly service There was lots of lunchtime traffic and what looked to be great food Definitely pop in for an americano

Books!

Good soups and Creekmore Coffee served up wonderfully. Cool atmosphere and free WiFi. Check out the small meeting room in the back of the library worth a peek.

They make the best homemade breakfast sandwiches, plus everything else youd expect from a coffee shop. I love this place.

Great aesthetic, great food and drinks, a library of books to peruse...whats not to love?

Interesting flavor to the coffee here. Unique, bold and rather tasty. Staff are friendly. Baked goods match up with the beverages well

When ever Im with my grandmother we always go to steam punk cafe. Its a cafe and the other half is a book store. I live to go there get a smothie and just sit down and read my book.

This is a great place to sit, read and have a cuppa.

Good place for coffee

Cute place. Delicious London Fog drink. Lots of books to peruse. Will be back.

Ok
