All the best coffee spots in Sheffield
You probably aren't a professional barista, but you do like your coffee, and you know that when you're away for a weekend, good coffee makes it and bad coffee breaks it.
So we've put together a quick list of some of the best spots to grab a coffee in Sheffield - whether it's to sit in and soak up the ambience, or grab and go.
Some of them will give you all the geeky tasting notes and perfect gram and grind ratios; others just make a damn good brew; and there are some places thrown in who specialise in non-caffeinated hot drinks, for good measure.
Either way, add them to your list, and get exploring.
