Cawa Coffee in Sheffield

Visited whilst waiting for family who were attending hospital chose here over costa as I like supporting independent shops. Charged £6.25 for a tiny coffee and a stale cake that was so old I couldn’t cut into it. Dread to think how old a brownie was to turn into brick. Come on date items no one likes throwing things away but when I returned the cake she actually said do you want a fresh one !!!!

Excellent coffee, nice selection of cakes and filled croissants. Always a pleasant buzzing atmosphere thanks to other customers. Unfortunately every time I visit the staff are unfriendly and miserable. I will continue to visit as it’s difficult to find good coffee, I just hope the owners address the staff problem.

Visited Cawa Broomhill after around a 2 year hiatus. What used to be a friendly welcoming lovely place has really changed. Mediocre service, I got the dregs out of the bottom of the tea caddy and the thinnest and smallest piece of banana bread ever. We won’t return.

Recently paid a visit to this coffee shop, if you like tasteless coffee and stewed tea this is just the place for you. I don't like either and I don't like waiting 15 minutes for a cup of coffee. The prices were good and the setting ok but unfortunately the taste of the product served was not good. Sorry but that was my experience today. Won't be returning, there are lots of coffee shops nearby for me to try.

A quick stop off for a lovely hot coffee. Will definitely stop off and order again. The staff were polite and helpful. Just what I needed.

I regularly walk past to go to another coffee place to get my walk to work coffee and croissants- yesterday I decided to give this one a go. It was all just a bit “ok”. Coffee served fresh and hot but - flat white - not particularly strong or flavoursome. Pain au chocolate was “ tight “ and doughy and hard on the outside rather than flaky. Flavour fine . Paid nearly £6 for the two to take out.

Lovely visit to the new Cawa Coffee in Meadowhall. Start by saying how lovely all the staff were, attentive and friendly. The coffee was top notch!! We had two pastry’s a cheese and ham croissant and a pan au chocolat. They were enormous and very tasty. We will definitely be back to try the selection of cakes..!! And the fish finger croissant. Good luck with the new venture guys 😊

Lovely, friendly service at Cawa Meadowhall. Michaela was very helpful and recommended the delicious almond croissant. Will definitely be back to purchase some more treats soon.

One now Sheffield's best coffee spots. Always friendly service, very good espresso, and possibly the best hot chocolate I've ever had (white chocolate hot chocolate would be my top pick). The bakes are incredible with the cinnamon buns and cookies being a standout for me. I'd highly recommend a trip to anyone passing by!

Popped in for a cinnamon bun and also got two salted caramel brownies. Snacks were nice and we got to take away. Staff were very friendly.

Went in for a matcha latte, it was not great quality. Plus the staff were discussing a previous customer complaint about how the ‘customer is always wrong’. I usually like the place however very put off by that ethos towards customers that ultimately bring you the revenue you need to survive.

We liked the look of this place and the cafe is nice. The coffee was good, and good hot chocolate. Sadly, the pastries looked a lot better than they were. We ordered a cinnamon bun and almond croissant - my best hope is that they were not fresh and being sold from the day before (which isn’t much of a Hope but it’s better than them just being bad). Overall, it didn’t deliver what it promised!

We use to go there weekly afer school for a snack and the past 2 weeks it has been a real diseapointment. We ordered a chocolate doughnut that was a hard lump of oil, obviously a few days old. The lady in charge didnt offer a refund and said instead she'll give us a free one next time- havent seen her since. This week, 2 yound staff o wednesday who couldnt wait to get us outof the door and were mopping the place all around us while my son was drinking his drink. We are usually treated to a mug but everybody was given a paper cup that day and they all went into the normal bin instead of a recycling bin- Cawa do you recycle your paper cup and paper holder for cakes? If not you definitely should!!

If I could give it a zero, I would. Flys around and landing on the pastries being sold. Stale cinnamon bun. Paper cups are disastrous - they leak, they’re scolding hot. Absolutely poor quality.

This review is for the Division Street branch. Having recently returned to Sheffield I was pleased to see an artisan bakery on Division Street. I bought a rhubarb danish £2.85 and I was so disappointed, it was stale, stodgy and not anywhere near the quality I would expect. Would not return as stale goods should not be offered for sale.

Please Cawa, be aware that people like myself who care deeply about the environment want a return to crockery. Use of paper cups and plates may have been necessary in the past but not any longer. Also please encourage people to bring reusable cups. I am meeting in Broomhill today for coffee and would prefer to support an independent coffee shop such as yourselves but not until normal cups and plates come back 😔 When I visited earlier in the year, I did enjoy your coffee and granola bar 😋

Received a lovely welcome. Had a superb Mocha and what I call a chocolate bomb. Really nice, very clean, bright and airy. Right on the Market place. Well worth a visit. See photo.

Very poor service, some staff bordering rude. Staff should take a leaf out of the cashier's book, lovely chap. I ate inside, paper cups and plates - one step too far cost cutting exercise in my opinion. Convenient purchase, won't be rushing back.

Have been using Cawa coffee since it opened and went today for a coffee and cinnamon bun. They have started serving coffee in paper cups to drink inside, which may be why the coffee is so weak (ie they fill it up with hot water)....

Had a latte with oat milk. Very good. Quick and friendly service. They also sell bread which looked really good though I did not try it. The place seems popular which is always a good sign.

Visit this gem all the time on lunch breaks, and can highly recommend their lovely cinnamon buns. A real must try!

Seem to care more about opening up multiple shops than they do the standard of food. Unhappy staff serving overpriced stale cruffins in a dirty cafe. Did some research and they only have a food hygiene rating of 2! Shocking!

Expensive and average. Coffee was okay but also got an almond croissant which was very stale, dry and flavourless. Would not go back.

I had really high expectations for this place but my visit was completely ruined when I saw how the management treat their staff. I’d much rather give my money to an independent coffee shop that has some morals.

Overpriced, dry pastries. Staff are friendly but management are rude to their staff in front of customers (dread to think what they're like behind closed doors) and clearly don't care about them. Always a bad sign when there is a high turnover of staff. If...

Lovely staff, cozy atmosphere, fresh desserts, and great coffee. We enjoyed everything. You should go there when you need a good feeling.

Rude management and overpriced food and drinks. No wonder they have a high turnover of staff which is definitely not a good sign. Stay clear of this place and visit somewhere that does treat customers and staff with respect.

The coffee is always great, and the staff are very helpful with going through dairy and gluten free alternatives on that day's menu.

What a great shop. I had the opportunity to visit Cawa Coffee for the first time on recent visit to Sheffield whilst I was in the city for a job interview. The coffee was sublime, creamy smooth never tasted coffee as wonderful. Served by a...

A great place with friendly customer service to pick up a coffee and delicious pastry. (Attended in Jan 2020 T3 restrictions)

I posted a review titled "coffee that tasted of coffee". On the back of this visit I put in a telephone order for brownies and cruffins as a birthday surprise for student daughter. I was assured that the goods would be boxed and ready by...

OK it might seem strange to write "coffee that tasted of coffee" but so rare that I get a decent take away coffee that isn't wishy washy or tasted burnt. I had a custard doughnut that was fresh, well filled and had the taste and...

Visited here for coffee & cruffins with my friend. The cruffins were obviously stale and not fresh, tasted like they’d been out for days and also tasted vinegary inside. There were so many flies all over the counter and by the fruit I lost count....

Paid over £6 for an average coffee and a stale cruffin. Reading other reviews it seems I’m not the only person to have ordered stale items from here. The shop itself feels unfinished and is dusty. Im not sure they’re really spacing customers out enough...

Went in the other day for a takeaway and was pretty disappointed, paid £4 for a ‘cronut’ which was dry and stale, my chai latte was just hot milk with a teabag (it wasn’t specified that it was a chai tea latte). The woman who...

The sandwich with sourdough are the best that I have! Cawa has an incredible range of handmade sourdoughs. I really love Capresse and focaccia. I'll improvement the coffee presentation and it's size. PD: We went in Covid situation, so the presentation was with disposable things....

We had a lovely visit, the food looked great and our drinks were delicious. However the way some staff members treat other, younger staff members is absolutely shocking. One worker in particular (named Daisy if I remember correctly) totally belittled and discouraged another worker right...

The way staff is treated is horrible, owners can get very angry really quick and say really disgraceful stuff to staff firing people for the minimum mistakes. Makes staff start working 10 min early without getting paid for that. Staff has been emotionally abused and...

I live around there and have had a cruffin last year, which tasted hard and old. Then I went back to get an almond croissant - fresh, tender, very good. Today I bought an almond croissant again, but this time hard and old. Like a...

I have always loved Cawa but recently i have some concerns. I’ve visited twice recently for their takeaway option due to the current circumstances, however both times i ordered food products, the member of staff did everything without wearing gloves which worried me. I think...

Looks nice from the outside,so thought I would try a coffee and a sandwich, the coffee was disgusting,tasted bitter, as for the sandwich,it was lacking any filling and very expensive,bread tasted stale,I've tasted better with British rail.

Seems like a lovely cafe with friendly staff and good music. Had a fabulous almond croissant so returned the following week, to be served a dried-out yesterdays one - so different and disappointing. Returned, cos the atmosphere's good, had toast with the meanest smear of...

We had just been to the travel agents and decided to have a coffee and called into Cawa. Excellent friendly, young and keen staff. The cakes looked delicious, Unfortunately it was too early for one! coffee very nice too. A good addition to the coffee...

This place sells you a 4 pound sandwich that is basically two large pieces of bread with one inch of filling. It is outrageous. I basically paid 4 pounds for a piece of bread. I've tasted one of their cruffin and I was disgusted. Oh...

On facebook they advertise themselves as "Purveyors of the third wave of coffee movement", hence the reason I've visited their place. I was so dissapointed to find out that it is not true. Burnt my tongue after taking a sip of the latte I've ordered....

Lovely decor and cute, rustic atmosphere. Lovely deserts, cakes and other baked goods. They look amazing!! I ordered a focaccia sandwich and it seemed to be more bread than anything else. It tasted nice but 1 slice of cheese and a couple mushrooms seemed a...
