Two standouts in a quiet Sheffield neighbourhood: TA roasts on site, Cloud Coffee Co runs a proper guest rotation with real sourcing knowledge.
Worth going out of your way
The guest coffee rotation at this Crookes local is the real draw: the owners know their supply chain intimately, and whoever's behind the bar can actually talk you through what's in the cup.
TA roasts its own beans on site, and you can taste the difference: a clean, balanced Colombian single origin that holds up whether you take it as filter or espresso.
Good if you're nearby
A proper neighbourhood café in Crookes serving Darkwoods beans, the well-regarded Yorkshire roaster. Good coffee, good vibes, no fuss.
A mother-daughter run neighbourhood café with housemade food and a garden out back. The kind of relaxed local spot you end up staying in far longer than you intended.
The bica here is the real thing, prepared in the Portuguese espresso tradition with genuine character. Pair it with a pastel de nata and you have one of Crookes' most distinctive coffee stops.
