Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The clue is in the name! This place really is a hidden gem. The food from a very varied and reasonably-priced menu was really tasty, the coffee excellent, the atmosphere spot on and the service exemplary. Will definitely come back, also to spend more time...in the lovely gift shop.More

Baby, Mum and 2 visiting grandparents in for lunch - well worth the short wait - great food and friendly, efficient service. Really liked the small retail offering as well, grabbed a great cookbook.

Went here on Tuesday afternoon for some coffee with some friends, was greeted by the young lady working there and was asking a few question just before the manager came over and started talking over her and not letting her finish and it felt rather...rude and undermining of her. Other than that the coffees and cakes where delicious.More

Perfect name for this cafe because it is! Absolutely delicious brunch with very good quality food. Service was swift and very friendly. The only downside is that you can’t book in advance. We will be back soon. Thank you.

Long time since our last visit as we left Sheffield some years ago and wow, how things have changed. The cafe is bright, welcoming with a good menu choice and specials. Great service and good considered advice from staff - ‘You can get a full...English any day but the breakfast tostada is ending today and it’s really good.’ And it was. Prices are similar to other good quality cafes but the food is premium quality and the specials are imaginative and really deliver on flavour.More

I’ve only seen dogs in the outdoor seating area, so can say that they are allowed outside. Never seen a dog inside

I think there is an accessible toilet. There is parking but it can be a bit of a squeeze at busy times.
