Steam Coffee
Growth & Connection
Located adjacent to the University of California, Irvine, in UCI Research Park, Steam Coffee’s 27-foot-long wall behind the banquette seating area and the point of sale zone offered an exciting opportunity for a custom mural that celebrates science, technology, and art. We commissioned San Francisco-based artist Amilli Onair to create two playful art moments that highlight the cafe's role as an incubator for ideas and collaboration. Filled with hidden moments, like the phases of a bloom, each step is a new discovery.
