Had a bacon and egg cob which was massive (perfect!) with a lovely cappuccino (with a sausage bowl for my dog). Great service, I sat outside as it was busy inside but staff came outside to take my order and was served in very reasonable time. Very friendly staff too, obviously very popular cafe and has a lovely vibe with the customers. Definitely recommend a visit. Parking is a bit tricky as there are a number of surrounding shops but I parked at the rec ground which is just a 5 minute walk away.

Love this cafe. Consistently nice food, delicious breakfast. Given that I am from Sheffield, I love the fact that they serve tea made in Sheffield - obviously it's the best cup of tea going! Fantastic service from all members of staff and very child friendly. Very well run cafe and efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice lunch or breakfast, or simply a drink and natter with a friend as the cafe is not noisy and you can actually hear others when having a conversation!

Visited the delicatessen at Blenheim Parade after hearing great things. I went in just for a black Americano and fried eggs on toast. The coffee was truly excellent — smooth and well-balanced, which is rare! That said, the service left me feeling a bit cold. I greeted the owner, Deb, twice upon arrival but didn’t receive a response, which set a slightly awkward tone. When I said thank you after receiving my coffee, again no reply or smile. Things did warm slightly when my food arrived, with a small comment — which was appreciated. When I returned for a second coffee, I was simply met with a "What can I get you?" — still no smile or sense of warmth. Maybe it's just their style, but a little friendliness goes a long way. Great coffee, but I left wishing the service matched the reviews I'd read.

A friendly local cafe which offers simple things done well. Their delicious coffee, tea, cakes, excellent cooked breakfasts and light lunches are well chosen and cheerfully presented. It's no surprise there are so many regulars. We're very lucky to have them. There us some outside seating, but don't nick our spot!
