La Patisserie – Sheffield

Ecclesall Road is simply teaming with cafés and coffee shops of varying prices and styles, and as we passed by La Patisserie we decided to drop in. From the outside it’s nothing to write home about although for a small place it does have good outdoor seating. (However it should be noted that sadly it’s … Continue reading →

Marmadukes – Sheffield

If one day you find yourself in the centre of Sheffield and you fancy a slightly upmarket bite to eat without the pretentious atmosphere but with an abundance of Yorkshire Tea then Marmadukes is certainly worth investigating.     The outside of the café/deli is lovely; the smart front, large windows and old fashioned brickwork … Continue reading →

Moco/Toast – Sheffield

Moco/Toast is an interesting combination of coffee shop and sandwich bar which sits in an almost, but not entirely, unremarkable spot on West Street. I say ‘interesting’ because rather than some form of uber-hip deli-eatery-indy-coffee infusion bonanza, it appears quite literally as two separate businesses occupying the same space. As such this is going to … Continue reading →
