If you’re looking for a special brekkie to fuel the day or a self-indulgent brunch break, Puck’A’Food at 560 Abbeydale Road is the perfect stop-off. Owner Nadeen Alshaibi tells us what inspired her to set up the neighbourhood café earlier this year… 
“Puck’A’Food is about giving our customer quality food that makes you feel good. The dishes are a fusion of flavours that are inspired by my Middle Eastern background. I’ve always enjoyed cooking food for my family and friends. I’ve spent many years perfecting my dishes, and then about a year ago I started experimenting and innovating breakfast recipes with a twist. For me, breakfast is the best meal of the day and I wanted everyone else to enjoy it just as much as I did. I sold 18 breakfast wraps the first time I decided to sell at a local call centre and from there I knew that I had found something that I wanted to pursue.
Our dishes are unique as they have the extra flavour which makes them pukka, while also remaining authentic. We only use quality products to ensure that our customer is receiving the best experience.”
COLE’S CORNER

Inspired by the laidback social vibes of small café-cum-record shops in Amsterdam, the recently opened Cole’s Corner provides a cosy haven for vinyl-lovers and specialises in reggae, drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, afrobeat, world music, plus local Sheffield-made music of any genre. Using locally-sourced, sustainable produce, here you can enjoy seasonal food such as homely organic soups, paninis, a range of hot and cold drinks, and an evening beer or two courtesy of Abbeydale Brewery.
Owner Nicole told us: “We want it to be a social, interactive space as we know music is great for unifying people. Keeping things local and supporting fellow businesses in the community is important to us; so our bread is from Forge Bakehouse next-door, veg from Sheffield Organic Growers up the road, and beers from Abbeydale Brewery which we can see from our window.”
