Forge Bakehouse in Sheffield

The pastel was excellent, with a crisp pastry casing that was the perfect thickness and a rich, creamy filling. The chocolate cookie was rather average, though the banana and peanut muffin was lovely. The icing was tasty, despite the muffin itself being slightly too dense. The texture of the candied banana and peanuts added a nice touch elevating it. However, the establishment is not the cheapest of bakeries.

Raspberry hot chocolate (£4.10) didn't taste like raspberry and it was lukewarm. Only the freeze dried raspberry pieces were flavourful, the chocolate part was weak too. Felt like a ripoff for what I paid. The black forest danish was nice - creamy and the pastry was perfectly cooked. There was only one server so no food could be heated, it seemed stressful and unfair for him to be running things on his own. Disappointing visit through no fault of the server.

Favourite bakery in Sheffield! Im in love with their vegan pastries and sour dough bread.

Friendly service and it's lovely inside and outside too!

Basado en las críticas para Dronfield, etc. estábamos dispuestos a probar este lugar. Qué equivocados estábamos. El lugar era frío, teniendo en cuenta que esto fue a eso de las 11 am y aparte de una persona desertó. No hay decoración en las paredes, que en sí necesita pintura. Lo más notorio que faltaba era un menú - aparte de uno para bebidas que son pequeñas y caras para lo que son. Pedimos unas tostadas, resulta que solo tenían masa madre, que podría ser una especialidad, pero al menos dejar que la gente vea el menú para que puedan tomar una decisión informada. No había conservas disponibles para comprar para poner en dicha tostada. Al enterarse de que la masa madre era multigrano, después de pedirla, mi esposa, que no podía comer productos ricos en fibra, pidió un croissant que pidió que se calentara y se enfrió. La tostada en sí era buena, pero ¿£4 por 2 rebanadas? Y terminé teniendo que comerme los 4 o desperdiciarlos, así que 8 libras por tostadas para una persona. La nevera estaba desprovista de contenido aparte de un par de pasteles de aspecto lamentable, uno de los cuales era más de £ 5. En el mostrador se sentó un par de rollos de salchicha de tamaño pequeño, sin duda 'artesanal', pero a unos 5 £. 50 cada uno, no lo creo. Cuando las otras cadenas de cafeterías cobran mucho menos por sus productos, el modelo de negocio aplicado no es sostenible en Chesterfield. Así que me costó £ 14 por dos bebidas y 4 rebanadas de tostadas que es caro por cualquier estiramiento de la imaginación para Chesterfield. A juzgar por la falta de clientes mientras estuvimos allí, o las cosas tienen que cambiar o ganará; no estar abierto mucho tiempo, lo que es una pena, ya que tiene potencial.

This is a quiet little gem, little walk from the main city centre but worth it. I come for a cinnamon swirl and a coffee every time I'm in town 😀

Amazing produce, great service (even when easier to refund)

Enjoyed lunch with a lemon tea there today. Very friendly service, excellent food

We visited the Beaucheif Forge Bakehouse for our staff Christmas lunch. From the start the staff were so accommodating and couldnt have been more helpful. The food was also delicious. We needed to pre-order our food and there were a few amendments along the way and the staff were so helpful and understanding. We enjoyed our visit and will be back 😀

Best spot for brunch, pastries and most importantly - sour dough!!

What a find-fantastic coffee and pastries. We will definitely be back!

Totally rude staff and customers that lack basic manners, wouldn't want to visit again unless nothing else is available. Edit: I haven't been in since that day. This is what happens when you take the piss out of regular customers. Take note.

VERY but VERY expensive prices are untouchable, VERY Sweet the Germans and French dont sweeten them this way prices are as if the quality is imported from France nothing close to French patisserie and france is Half the prices in €uros Very disappointing

The bakes are always excellent, I highly recommend the vegan maple pekan swirl, even if you're not a vegan! It's the most delicious! The coffee is always tasty and at the right temp. It's always fun going in, and the staff always have a laugh!

Lovely coffee and cake on a Sunday morning.

Hello, Sheffield train station. I have been buying the almond croissants which were amazing. These were then replaced by the Bear claw, which also tasted very nice. Recently the quality of the pastry has not been as great. The bear claw is ‘flat’ and not as crispy as it was, and this was an early morning purchase so guess I g a fresh batch? Can we please please bring almond croissants back to the train station 🙏🏼

Amazing staff, delicious coffee. Loved the enviornmejt

Brilliant customer service, lovely people!

Really friendly staff, food looks fantastic! The taste needs refinement.

That spiced pineapple Danish... I will dream about it tonight. Never take it off of the menu 🙏

Expensive cakes but bread is average price for type of product. All very good quality

Loved the experience and food! I’m not from Sheffield and searched for the best bakery in Sheffield. Forge came up and I went one morning. I was told they’re in competition for their croissants so I definitely needed one of those. I also tried the dark chocolate and rye cookie which was intriguing, and a latte. The croissant was wonderfully flakey on the outside and soft in the middle. Not too buttery either. As for the cookie, I was told “those who like it really like it” and vice versa. I like wholesome foods, hence I liked it. It was soft and flakey in the centre with a crispy exterior. The flaked sea salt helped cut through the sweetness of the cookie nicely. I could taste the grains of rye but I didn’t mind it as that’s what you would expect. There’s good seating inside and outside. The latte was good, not too ‘in your face’ strong with caffeine, but standard nonetheless. Around 28 people could fit here at once. I would definitely recommend this place to all!

Wow, this is a golden bakery, you can smell the fresh bakes from the entrance! I usually buy a small bread loaf from here, I've tried a few sandwiches too, all absolutely carb heaven! The staff are very polite and patient when deciding what to buy & are smiling. I highly recommend this bakery a consistently positive experience. A happy customer!

The best bread in Sheffield, bar none...get there early as they often sell out

lovely place, beautiful blue walls, friendly staff!

Tried the pastries from the station and they’re always delicious and the staff are super friendly! The pastries are expensive so more of a treat but I totally understand the price as the quality is much better than your usual supermarket bakery

Beautiful place, friendly service and great food! Best focaccia bread i’ve ever had!

One of the very best Coffees in Sheffield and the absolute Top bread done properly!

The prices are not adequate to what you get. The pastries were way too sweet and there was not much flavour to it. Coffee looked nice and it tasted OK. It feels like other places in Chesterfield just offer better cakes and drinks at similar price. Definitely disappointing. The place lacks atmosphere and the customer service is lacking. Would not be wasting my money again.

This morning, I spent £10 on three pastries, hoping for a nice treat, but they didn't meet my expectations. I'm curious to see how they would fare in a double-blind experiment against Tesco's offerings!

We used forge to supply the pastries for our wedding, due to an issue with our cake supplier at short notice. They were super quick to respond and really helpful, and the food was as great as always.

No había estado aquí por un tiempo, pero cómo ha cambiado, y no para mejor. El café, el té y el pastel de té eran buenos, pero el servicio al cliente era horrible. Tuvimos que entrar y salir de la zona de estar del café para pedir en el mostrador, ya que el personal estaba ocupado teniendo una charla bloqueando la vía. Luego, un miembro masculino del personal entraba y salía continuamente por la entrada trasera cerrando la puerta cerca de la cual estábamos sentados. No soy de los que publican comentarios negativos, pero me sorprende que el personal piense que los clientes son invisibles o que el negocio es tan exitoso que la consideración de sus clientes no es importante. Es seguro decir que me llevaré mi costumbre a otro lugar y Forja aún sobrevivirá.

Just great, crazy busy earlier in the day but worth a visit.

First visit to the new branch in the Civic Centre Dronfield- have to say we were somewhat disappointed. Very nice selection of home baked breads. Small selection of pre made sandwiches and 2 different varieties of sausage rolls. Selection of cakes/pastries. No salads soups or brunch etc. A wait of 20 mins for sausage rolls to be heated which turned out to be almost 30 mins. Refill of our coffees because of our wait was appreciated-although not the best coffee in Dronfield in our opinion. With so many coffee shops in close proximity they will have to 'up their game' in my humble opinion but I do wish them well.

I'm not prone to hyperbole, but when you receive the best cookie you've ever eaten, fresh from the oven, gooey, unctuous and incredibly moreish, it's difficult to avoid singing the praises of this incredible local business. The Mr Potato Bread is also super.

Excellent coffee and Pastel de Nata this morning at Abbeydale Road! Relaxing way to ease into Saturday.

Whenever I came in the past the place always had a really nice warm atmosphere and great food. Came today and saw upstairs has been shut, staff didn’t say hi or acknowledge us in any way so left.

Very nice food here. Will come again.

Lovely food. Very busy at times. Highly recommended

Delicious bread and pastries. Lovely staff. Nice to see them focusing on coffee a bit more and offering single origin coffees and retail options!

Excellent place to grab a bite, sandwiches are fantastic. Great to see more sites popping up!

I used to be a regular here, I used to love grabbing some sandwiches and treats to have while out walking. I used to love that they always kept their prices reasonable and everything was excellent quality. It’s changed a lot. I’m not sure why everything is pre packaged now in plastic bags (obviously not good for the environment). The food is now considerably more expensive and the sandwich fillings uninspiring. The bread was also a little burnt on top. I’m disappointed they’ve closed the restaurant which used to be my favourite spot in Sheffield for brunch. I don’t understand why they have opened so many new branches if they were struggling financially. They could have just focused on their original site which used to be excellent. Such a shame.

The staff are always warm and friendly. Great quality bread and pastries!

A great coffee shop, definitely worth a visit! I have been to Forge Bakehouse (2 brunches) several times and I keep going back. Baked goods and break are of very high quality, service has always been very good. Personal favourite, the almond croissant, hands down, best almond croissant I ve had!

We always have a fresh ciabatta from forge bakehouse weekly and find it delicious. We also have their pastries, and occasionally coffee too. However we noticed the shortbread and cookies (pre-packaged) contain a long list of ingredients such as xanthan gum, whereas before it was very minimal ingredients. Very disappointing and sadly will not be buying again as now they are not any different from supermarket biscuits.

Herb the waiter served us a nice lunch I had a marmite scone and cappuccino Herb was very polite kind and efficient and the coffee was lovely Thanks

Delicious lunch great service from Herb, and focaccia yummy. Loved cappuccino , service was prompt and smiling. Definitely will go there again

We went because we saw other old reviews and some photos of (salty) food that looked very good. But when we arrived they told us that they no longer had a kitchen...So the reviews were outdated. It was disappointing because it gives the impression of having potential. The breads look great.

I’m now a regular at Forge Bakehouse and it is my go to cafe whenever I am in Sheffield. All the food is amazing and the coffees are great. Most recently I had the cheese and ham Croissant and a doughnut. They were fantastic. The staff are lovely too. This is a must visit whenever you are in the area.

Finally made it back after the new year only to find that the kitchen team have been made redundant! Used to LOVE brunch at Forge but it's got this weird feeling about the place now. No more kitchen, no more upstairs seating, everything is super expensive and a far lesser quality than it used to be, constantly opening new below-par sites when their primary site is suffering. What's this new management team up to? No longer for me.

So sad to see forge go downhill since it been under new management. It’s lost its nice atmosphere, things are smaller but more expensive, nice things like the tarts have gone, the sandwich filling have become uninspiring and not very nice. I used to love forge so much and while I do still get Bread and odd cake it make me sad to go in. Nothing against the new management/staff just after Martha and all staff worked so hard to make it such lovely experience and great produce it is really disappointing

A latte and a cardamom snurr with friends on a Sunday morning 😋 What more can I say, simply the best 👌

A great little bakery A shame the hot breakfasts have stopped Great food and soup was very nice Thanks amazing servie and friendly staff /owners

What a shame, I like others below have found Forge to have gone so utterly downhill. Croissants half the size they used to be and lamination poor. The Danish overly sweet to make up for the consistency of pastry I guess. The coffee used to be to die for and worth a trip alone except now I'd rather make one at home. The indoor seating area is dirty. Table sticky and a lot of dirt on sills and the edge of flooring. That's laziness right there. Hopefully no-one wants anything off the shelves next to the water fridge as caked with grease 🤢 hopefully the bakery itself is better. Truly heartbroken to have visited for the first time in a while and it be this bad. Sadly the last visit for me.

A great bakery. They've recently gone back to their original offer of off-the counter bakes and coffee, rather than full kitchen and that's a pity as I loved their brunch and breakfasts, but it's still a great place to meet and snack and the coffee is excellent.

How sad. Forge on Abbeydale Rd used to be one of my favourite places to eat in Sheffield. Slowly the management appear to have been chipping away at everything valuable, first closing the upstairs dining area, and now stopping cooked food all together and effectively now only serving pastries and sandwiches. There has been no communication of this huge change with customers across social media, or otherwise, showing scant regard for its very loyal customer base. We do understand changes need to be made, but whilst you are opening new premises and clearly on a profit driven expansion mission to make cash from the brand...its probably worth valuing the core brand first before Forge becomes another recession casualty. The staff also seem annoyed at the situation, so clearly the new strategy has not been rolled out well at all. Come on Forge management, Sheffield deserves more than this! You're the custodians of a wonderful brand, step up to the challenge please 🙏 At the very least, communicate and bring us all with you. Let us know what new value you are bringing, please rather than seemingly taking everything away.

I had the pizza focaccia and the pecan pie. Both were delicious. I would visit again and try something new next time.

I’ve been a regular customer since “John “ helped open this bread shop, must be 8-9yrs ago, I’m not sure who owned the business then? Or if it’s the same owner now? I have a question regarding the bread recipe as it appears to have more additives “preservatives” than it use to, I say this, because the bread appears to take longer for it to go hard? (Stale) My question is has the bread recipe changed? Since the shops opened? And are we drifting closer to the supermarket breads which are unhealthy? Thanks John

Called in for coffee and a Portuguese tart with my dog. Got 2 pain au chocolate to take away which were delish although slightly overdone. The food and coffee is great but not cheap. It's great they allow dogs so we will be back again for definite.

Fab little cafe and shop where the products are made in the bakehouse. The sour dough bread is one if the best I have tasted. All different kinds to choose from, delicious.

Popped.in as stuck waiting for car to be fixed. Had the meat brunch which was fantastic. Nice to have water to the table as well 😃

Next level baked goods. Forge bakehouse has brought joy into me and my relatives' lives over lockdown. Bread and pastries to commit crimes for. (this might seem an odd notion to people who haven't tried them.) personal favourites include all the croissant based goods, almond is especially indulgent (I suspect it may very slightly shorten your life expectancy, it's just so gloriously rich, but the happiness it brings makes this a price more than worth paying) and the ciabatta, honestly it's ridiculously good. It may involve some kind of witch craft. But the good kind. Thank you Forge bakehouse for the wonder you bring! ❤️ Quick edit as I have tried more things:baked cheesecake is joyous, light creamy heaven. Teacakes may be the best use of a pound I've found yet. Brownies a must try and pies are ace. Their coffee beans, the ones they use themselves are really good. I got a fancy machine at Christmas and the forge beans are among my favourites! If you can love a shop forge is the shop I love the most. Had breakfast today, full English is spot on. Son had French toast and bacon also ridiculously good. Youngest, who had the fry up, said it was one of the best things he'd ever eaten. The two of them argued over the whose breakfast was the best. We had pastries for pudding. Try the pumpkin pie btw. You will thank me. Is this the longest review ever? 😁

I feel like a lot of its appeal has been lost over the past year or so. A shame, but hey- it's still an ok bakery. Just not special anymore. The snarky responses from the new owners just about sums the vibe up.

Best French toast in town so far, very good brunch food, very lovely cafe, became one of my favourite cafe!!

Fantastic cakes baking goods and breads, a really nice vibe they have upped their food and coffee game, this flat white tasted great. The young lady serving did keep leaving the door open and there was a draught that would strip corn

As a fairly regular customer over the last 5 years, I'm honestly a bit sad about where forge is going as a business. Before this year, they had something so unique, it was inviting and staff were always happy (they always had time for a little chat) and the food and bread/pastry counter was great. Now, there's a very limited menu, hardly any decent quality vegan options (where are all the pastries?), the quality of takeaway savouries has dropped and the staff always look run off their feet. And now this morning I've seen they're closing the second floor cafe space. To me, the business has been poorly judged by its new owners and they've failed to recognise how great something was before. I realise times are tough for hospitality and I would have loved to support forges' future but unfortunately I'll be going elsewhere. I'd maybe suggest a complete rebrand as it's not the same business as before.

New owners seem to prefer extra profit over happy staff. Everyone looks overworked and stressed. All the people who used to work there have left. A qr code to order now, and apparently they've gotten rid of the DONATION scheme (pay it forward), that lets those less able to afford their food have it paid for by donations of other customers. It seems the old atmosphere has been replaced by one of rapid expansion at the cost of... everything nice about the business. I'm surprised the food is still nice and hasn't had the ingredients cheapened yet!

GREAT service. There was a miss communication between kitchen and front house, which was very well resolved to accommodate us. Very nice surprised. Good variety of pastries. Great bread options. They do not have service charge, so do not forget to tip 😉

Top quality from people to food, lovely ☺️

We came during a manic period on Sunday morning. Wasn’t sure if we could find a table ourselves, or wait for a table. In the end, we clarified with a member of staff; they cleared a table for us. We got some menus and ordered at the till. Unfortunately they sold out of granola. So we plumped for almond croissant and pecan bun. Both were lovely and fresh. The coffees came later, as they were very busy.

I recently visited Forge Bakehouse and enjoyed it very much. I tried the Full English Breakfast, which was delicious. The Portuguese Custard Tarts were a delightful treat with their flaky crust and creamy filling. The jam doughnuts were a sweet surprise. The staff were friendly, and the cozy ambiance added to the experience. I highly recommend Forge for a great meal and a warm atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

I went in today and was standing around for a while as the staff were preoccupied. I couldn't see any allergy friendly options on the menu and the staff didn't seem to notice or care that I was there. This has happened before, I don't think I've ever eaten anything from here as I never get served! I went down the road to another cafe who immediately took my order and who had lots of allergy friendly options. I feel like Forge is too hipsterish and unfriendly and doesn't care about customer service.

Food is still excellent but service has gone downhill massively. Basic stuff like bringing cutlery with food, remembering what has been ordered, etc. such a shame as it ruins the experience of eating out and have been left feeling like it’s just not worth going.

Forge supplied the sweet treats for our wedding and we were not disappointed! We got two types of pastries and two types of donuts. Doing everything vegan was not a problem for the bakery and everyone was raving about them! Highly recommend if you're looking for someone to cater bakes and treats.

I've been a customer here for years and the last few times I've been have been a let down. I went to sit in the upstairs cafe space the other day and it was closed with no warning or signs, I love it up there and have sat up there since it opened. Downstairs was full up so I had to sit outside in the cold. Service was okay but staff looked stressed. When I asked about upstairs apparently it a new decision by management and haven't told anyone? What happened Forge? Edit: Very poor responses that are rude, curt and dismissive, coming from the 'Customer Experience Director'... (worked in hospitality for years and never heard of this title). Not a great customer experience really. The PIF scheme has been dropped, QR code ordering is poor, and stinks of staff not being supported. New owner, not feeling it.

Unfortunately Forge has really gone downhill. A year ago it was one of my favourite places in Sheffield for coffee and a sandwich, partly because of the amazing bread but mostly because of the really wonderful staff. There have been a lot of changes in staffing and everyone seems much more stressed than they used to, and a lot of the people I enjoyed chatting to don't work there any more. Clearly being managed into the ground by the new owners. It's a shame, I've been a few times in the last few months hoping it's been just a bad day but now I'll have to find somewhere else to go.

Unfortunately 2nd diner had to chase up their order. When it arrived the server then forgot to bring promised cutlery. Otherwise food was good.

I went there for TooGoodToGo, it was absolutely amazing, the staff was so lovely, the collection time was very efficient for the bags were already packed and waiting for us to pick up. Will definitely go back again !

Recent changes are a real shame. I can understand why they've lost some of their nicest staff recently. We're regulars, coming multiple times a week over the last 2 years since we moved to the area. Prices have gone up, staff on shift are fewer, ordering via QR code is a really poor experience. Full English has gone up in price but now only comes with one egg. Pastries and bread are still amazing quality but the experience has gone downhill. Some new staff are sullen and the ones who've been here ages are lovely as usual but stressed out. We'll still come but it's a shame and I feel bad for the staff putting up with these changes and never have the support to give good service.

Very very good amazing food and very good service very busy 😀 very well executed a few points I want to adress but in person or a phone call I make to u keep up the amazing journey ❤

Just not that great.. how can mushrooms on toast look like a dogs dinner? Overcooked and too thinly sliced and over seasoned. 2 slices of bacon for £4! Really? Once used to enjoy this place but not anymore

Best sausage roll I have ever had. Looking forward to sitting in next time and trying more of their lovely food.

Loved the vegan sweet potato and black bean sausage roll! Loads of filling, nicely spiced, and good pastry.

I have now been to a few of the event nights and have enjoyed them all immensely. The most recent was the Italian night. The food was amazing on each visit. The service and atmosphere are also brilliant. I would highly recommend.

Yummy cakes and coffee. Price a little high, but to be expected.

Absolutely shocking service. Firstly the booked table wasn't ready, which was annoying but understandable. However once seated the restaurant was incredibly loud with other diners right next to us basically shouting. After sitting around for over an hour and a quarter (after ordering) without any food arriving - we left to find something to eat. Really just the epitome of style over substance - over crowded, very noisy, and failed to actually serve any food. More like a badly managed crèche than a restaurant. Edit - Based on the owners reply I'm actually perplexed. It should have been glaringly obvious we'd not eaten - because you never brought us food or even cutlery, and never once checked if we were ok. Blaming a printer, and us, for your basic lack of care and attention is risible.

Last night's Italian-themed dinner at Forge Bakehouse was an absolute delight, and I can't help but share my glowing review. Being Italian, I have a deep appreciation for authentic Italian cuisine, and Forge Bakehouse truly delivered. We kicked off the meal with the arancini, which were impeccably crispy on the outside and incredibly flavorful within. The homemade orecchiette with salmon sauce was a masterpiece. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the salmon sauce was a harmonious blend of creamy and savory flavors. It transported me straight to Italy with every bite. And then there was the panna cotta - a sheer indulgence. Its creamy, velvety texture was exquisite, and the berry topping provided a delightful contrast of sweetness. It was a sweet symphony for the taste buds. The only minor drawback of the evening was a particularly loud table nearby, which, unfortunately, the staff couldn't control. However, the overall dining experience was so wonderful that it hardly detracted from our enjoyment. Despite the scorching Indian summer weather, the Forge Bakehouse staff were the epitome of warmth and hospitality. Their friendly demeanor and attentiveness added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. In summary, Forge Bakehouse's Italian night is a true culinary gem. I can't wait to return for another round of their delectable dishes. Grazie mille for an unforgettable dining experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍮😊

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Forge Bakehouse and I must say, their French toast is absolutely delicious! I also bought some Portuguese custard tarts to take home and they were rich and creamy. The staff was friendly and greeted me with a smile .

Went for a cup of tea this morning. Only seating available was upstairs. I tried to order my drink before going upstairs but ‘ NO’ you can’t do that. I go upstairs to be seated and I am now told I have to go back down stairs and order my drink!!! Apparently this is the ‘system’ customers are required to follow!! Totally inconvenient !!!

What a delight. Oh lucky people of Sheffield! For breakfast I had the most sublime Danish pastry I’ve ever had the pleasure to eat. Fresh peach slices on a subtle custard base surrounded by crunchy toasted almonds. Followed by a superb granola with grated citrus zest. .. I’ll be back !!

Thank you soooo much for having us during your Fish & Seafood event. ALL courses including starters (Crab Pate and Smoked Baba Ganoush) were just perfect, very tasty and full of little, incredible flavours... everything refined to perfection! The main course Baked Whole Sea-bass was just stunning, the Squid Ink Risotto omg - so delicate and delicious... and the Saffron Custard Tart with sorbet just a cherry on top guys...absolutely amazing!!!!! Thank you for the extra mile arranging the simplified kids menu and of course customised ♥️bread♥️ I cannot express my appreciation and thank you enough for the excellent customer service to lovely Liva. We will definitely be back to taste more of your beautiful world of flavours ♥️ THANK YOU Forge Bakehouse! Anna

Forge used to be great, but they always seem stressed in there now and the sandwiches are really not good value- look at this half a sandwich for £2.80 smh

🥓🍳☕🥐 @forgebakehouse 🥐☕🍳🥓 📍Abbeydale Road What a breakfast! These full English breakfasts cured our hangovers yesterday. Everything was cooked to perfection and top quality. We were happy to see they use @mossvalleyfinemeats too. Couldn't have asked for anything more it was perfect 👌 The pastries and bread here are also top notch and we had to take a couple home. They were truly delicious and flawless. For more local reviews follow @sheaf_foodies on Instagram 😊

Poor service but great coffee. Took ages for coffee to arrive and they forgot the croissants we ordered. Served by a moody teenager. Rest of staff were lovely though.

Love this place. Normally have the full English meat breakfast and it does everything you need it to do. Love the sweet treats as well...a brownie is a guilty pleasure for me.

A* star service from start to finish especially Rachel.. 👏 Thankyou will call again & will recommend to all our clients..

Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere, fantastic customer service.... What's not to like? The Portuguese tarts are an absolute must! Just thinking about them now is making me wish that they were still open at 11pm! 😂

The bakery produce is very good, albeit pricey (even by London standards), the problem is the rather haphazard table service. Food comes at different times to drinks, or food comes and they forget you ordered drinks. A lot of rushing around by the staff but just no efficiency or attention to detail …
