Made by Jonty
Trek a little further along Sharrowvale’s indie food showcase and you’ll find Jonty’s. Touted by many as the best full English in the city, it’s a true brunch and brekkie gem – just make sure you get in early to avoid queues.

Fancy a Brew?
Tamper
Found just a few minutes’ walk from Steam Yard, Tamper brings you Antipodean cuisine culture in style. There’s the cosy, quaint unit on Westfield Terrace, or the larger, more food-focused venue near the Hallam Students’ Union. Both are well worth a visit.

The Grind Café
This airy Kelham Island spot serves up superb breakfasts, lunches, salads and their jaw-dropping sausage rolls have achieved legendary status.

Steam Yard
Tucked away in a courtyard just off bustling Division Street, Steam Yard is an absolute gem of a place serving up the tastiest donuts in the city. The coffee’s something to shout about, too.

Bragazzis
For a taste of Italy, look no further than Bragazzis – a longstanding favourite on the café scene and an award-winning deli. Delightfully old-school (no wi-fi here, kids) it’s well worth venturing out of the city centre for your fill of coffee, cake, sandwiches and beyond.

Marmadukes
Small but mighty, Marmadukes offers the best of British food and drink with an exciting range of options from breakfast through to lunch (including a full English breakfast for under a tenner with vegetarian options available too). The perfect place to go for a hearty Sunday brekkie after a hectic weekend.
