Steam Yard Coffee Co is a casual place for a piping hot cup of coffee, light snacks and good conversation. Situated in a bare red brick building with British windows, it offers a place to curl up with a book in one hand and gourmet coffee in another. What attracts patrons is its cozy feel, service counter loaded with colorful goodies and inviting ambiance. Its courtyard has the feel of a trendy college cafetaria, yet with a quieter, and more tranquil atmosphere. The food options such as Brie and Chutney Sandwich, brownies and donuts complement the coffees well. This coffeehouse is mostly frequented by a young and lively crowd.

Housed in the popular Forum Centre, this cafe attracts business people for breakfast and lunch and a louder 20-30 yrs of age crowd at night, when jazz, cocktail and house music events are organized. Long copper tables, high-backed iron chairs, a selection of framed, modern artwork and subdued lighting create a relaxed atmosphere. Separate menus are available for breakfast, lunch and the evening. Regular discounts mean that drinks such as house wine cocktail pitchers are usually very reasonably priced.
