Island Cafe & Bar in Sheffield

Came in for light brunch, the sourdough they serve here is so delicious, you can have it with VG spread, butter or jam. The service was lovely and so was the space. It was a relaxing break from being stuck out in the rain.

Popped in for breakfast on a Friday. Good luck if you're hoping to park ended up parking 18 mins away, plus cobbles in the run up, a little bit brutal on wheelchairs. Was really quiet but people were popping in and out. Music was giving an echo heavy space some atmosphere, really lo-fi, good for a lazy day. Loos are annoyingly across the cobbled road in the museum though and were like....well museum toilets which kind of takes a shine off the experience a little bit. Staff were super accommodating and attentive, no complaints- they got a sudden rush on with loads of school kids on a trip to kelham and they came and apologised for the wait which was hardly a wait anyway, felt very welcome. Food itself is rather expensive compared to its peers. Ordered Eggs Benedict and it came out pretty quick- 5 mins tops and looked like a decent plate. Eggs were runny, perfectly poached. Sauce was nice, not overpowering but enough for the plate. Bread it was all perched on was super chunky and fresh, all good there. The ham though, although perfectly pleasant in its own right, was cold..... Not as in, not cooked well enough but as in, out of the fridge onto the plate. It made a stark contrast with the rest of the meal and I was a bit surprised with it....I've always thought of Eggs Benedict being made with bacon. Granted it says it's going to be ham on the menu but I'd thought it was roasted as in....warm? The point I'm clumsily grasping towards is that what I was eating felt more like a posh ham and egg sandwich than Eggs Benedict. For £7-8 I wouldn't have minded but for £13 it feels steep. To be fair to Joni, hams obviously a completely reasonable substitute and it's clearly marked on the menu but it being cold ruined it a bit for me. Overall, staff were great, place was calming and chill for a lazy morning, bit of an awkward location to get to of you don't live here, was pricey and wouldn't bother with the Eggs Benedict if I came back again but would be tempted to try something else.

Super kind staff and great coffee ☕️ 😋

Had lunch and hot drinks here before looking round the museum. Sat outside in the sun. The food and drinks were brought to us with a bottle of water. Staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. A great experience.

Popped in for brunch on a bank holiday Monday. No queues; plenty of space. Bright and airy environment. Fairly prompt and attentive at table service. A good and varied menu. Food was excellent.

Nice little coffee shop at the Kelham Island museum. There's an extensive breakfast and lunch menu plus a nice selection of cakes. A bit pricey but the food and service are excellent!

Stopped for a quick coffee and brownie on the way into Kelham Island. Friendly and welcoming service. Great location. Tasty brownies and coffee. Will be back

Where can I start, the place is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating but with all the beautiful plants I had to sit inside. Only had a bacon and sausage bloomer but it was divine and the other food that came out of the kitchen looked like art, you can clearly see the passion in the kitchen. Service was top notch and the music was banging. Really good vibes and I will be back. Thank you

Fantastic experience great for the dogs 🐶 will definitely visit them again

Lovely, fresh food and delicious coffee. Friendly staff. It was a bit quiet (we arrived at an odd time on a Sunday) but it's a great space. Feels like a nice local hangout.

Had a lovely time here for a Sunday brunch with friends, food was speedy and excellent quality. coffee was nice as well. the space is lovely and airy. staff were friendly and helpful.

Really nice food and nice atmosphere. The menu was slightly limited for lunch, although good breakfast options. No toilets within the cafe itself, but you can use the ones at the museum.

This is not a place I usually go but I near enough moan about not having anything worth eating it this was I was so surprised. The food was amazing so fresh and so much taste , I thought the wait was a little long but I didn’t care when it arrived as it was presented so beautifully, I had to eat it all and it was large 🥳

It depends on what you are looking for. Time of day - morning, and there was only 2 other customers. Location - wonderful. Atmosphere - wonderful Food - looked nice, however I had a version of eggs royale, and my friend had poached eggs with mushrooms. Her eggs were not runny. She was not happy. My eggs - also not runny. Service - No one came to our table to check we were happy with our food as is what tends to happen in similar places, which just made it awkward as no one wanted to kick up a fuss. We don't want the embarrassment. If we have to go to the counter to ask for new eggs, it's just awkward. Usually I'd not be too fussed, but it was all the eggs, and a lack of service to reflect the high prices we paid. I mean if I had paid less, then my expectations would have been lower. Drinks - were fine, but again overpriced for what I got. I had an oatmilk pink chocolate hot chocolate topped with freezedried raspberries. I didn't enjoy it, but perhaps that's t do with my personal preference. It was topped with a squirty cream which I hadn't realised when I ordered it, so probably my fault. The server said "I've been a bit over generous with the cream" as she smiled and walked away leaving me with a messy drink that was spilt with loads of squirty cream, not checking I was okay with this. An expensive mess. Overall for me, the quality of the food is the most important thing, alongside attention to detail to ensure the customer is getting what they expected. Would I go again? It did look nice, I'd like to know the feedback is taken seriously, as I liked sitting in there, but I want to enjoy my food and drink!

I recently hosted a baby shower here and the team were great, both beforehand in arranging all the details, and on the day. I would definitely recommend. Thanks again!

A 'brunchie' type of place. Busy and bustling. Lots of sourdough and bagels. Would have liked extra water with my tea which was very strong but all in all it was good.

Amazing brunch options, fantastic coffee and great service, what more could you ask for?

Great food, great service and great price.

Great little cafe to round off a vist to the museum, good selection of light lunch and breakfast options, with lots of gluten free choices for my wife

Great friendly service, great tasting food and generous fresh portions. Highly recommended.

Went in for coffee and tea, £6.70. Cappuccino served as though it was a latte, but quickly made right by member of staff. Seating and temperature comfortable, tastefully decorated spacious café.

Called in today whilst in the area. Hidden gem with top quality food. Lovely relaxing atmosphere

Excellent bakewell slice and coffee, cosy atmosphere + fast friendly service 😀

We ended up visiting the Island Café and Bar 3 times during our visit to the Kelham Island Museum - twice for tea and coffee and once for lunch. It was really nice to be able to book the table for lunch in advance as we wanted to make the most of our time at the museum. The service and food were great on all 3 occasions, with the selection of cakes being particularly good. Highly recommended!

Ordered coffee and tea were cold when came no cutelry had to ask eventually had to take from another table ...ham sandwiches made with margarine....wet salad on the side had wet the bread ...no atmosphere staff useless and card only no cash won't be back

Croque Monsieurs were amazing plus proper chips. Wow!

Hidden gem ! Try onion Bahji wrap! “ lts a taste sensation “ 🤷‍♂️🙂! So good coffees and cakes to! 🙂

I had the eggs benedict, although it was tasty and well-presented the eggs were a bit over-poached and it was all a bit cold. Served on a cold plate.

Lovely cafe. The vegan ice cream pots were not very nice though. The coffee is lovely, staff great.

The Island Café is excellent. We've eaten here a few times and always enjoyed the food and the service. The staff are great and always make a fuss of Reggie (they're dog friendly!). We like it here so much that we had our wedding evening party here a year ago and the staff were excellent again. My only negative comment would be that it is a little bit on the more expensive side. On our last visit it cost £30 for 2 breakfast dishes (eggs benedict with extra bacon, mushroom benedict) and 2 black coffees. But the food is worth it in my opinion and I recommend that you give the Island Café a try.

The mushroom eggs benedict is 10/10! Perfectly balanced dish with lots of little extra bits you don't usually get that work so well together. My favourite place in Sheffield for breakfast, plus the interior design/vibe of the place is spot on.

We had sandwiches which were made with thick white freshly made bread. However the fillings were disappointing, my wife had cheese and tomato, which had a very small amount of grated cheese. No little bowl of chutney either. Mine was ham and mustard, ham was freshly carved with stringy bits left in but loads of grain mustard added. It looked impressive on arrival but was an awful lot of bread for your money. Tea was nice.

A very nice menu, although not a vast choice on it still very good food. Music inside just a bit too loud and had to speak above it ( not really background music) good tracks though...good choice of beverages, and alcoholic drinks and children's food and drink..

Good coffee and excellent for relaxing.

Came here twice in one day as I stopped for coffee and cake before visiting the Museum with my elderly mum. The coffee was very smooth, and the cinnamon bun loaf was light and fluffy. Noted that the menu sounded great so decided to come back later after seeing a bit more of the Kelham Island area. I had the Superfood salad, just delicious with avocado, pomegranate seeds and hummus, my mum had the Chicken Caesar salad which she said was very tasty, and a portion of chunky chips with salt flakes between us, just lovely. This place is also licensed so we had a beer and a wine, of which there was a good selection. Staff are so helpful and friendly. The interior is in keeping with the industrial setting, bare brick and fairy lights, but very comfy seats. Would love to come back but as I live in the far north of Scotland it won't be for a while sadly!

This was unexpected. We attended as we had been in the museum and need a lunch. We were a bit unsure but gave it a go. A glad we did. We had the eggs benedict, which was really nice and tasty, and really well presented. We did have a little want due to the volumes of people being served, but we were advised of this and we were happy to wait. Again glad we did. All the staff were really nice and helpful. Easy to recommend to others

Lunch after visiting museum. Bhaji wrap and a fried chicken wrap, absolutely delicious and well worth the price. Staff polite and attentive. If you're in the area, pop in, you will not be disappointed.

Lovely places with a great menu. All the food was high quality and the staff were very attentive and gave great advice.

Please say thank you to the lovely lady with short hair in a pink top today who recommended I put honey in peppermint tea - she was right, it was amazing!! Looking forward to coming back for brunch.

Excellent brunch deal which included the best avocado on toast I've ever had. Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food. Brunch/lunch vibe with lots of egg and bacon options. Good cooking, well presented.

Quirky cafe. Very nice food and drinks. Helpful staff

Deserves so much more attention this lovely cafe that we have been several times food always top quality we usually get eggs Benedict and the staff are amazing.seek it out next door to the kelham island museum you will not be disappointed

Went for breakfast this morning and the eggs Benedict was divine. Very tasty. Staff are very friendly, service was good and didn’t wait too long for food. Have been three times now and each visit was as good as the last. Can’t wait to visit again.

Very pleasantly surprised by this cafe, we had brunch. Great value for money, tasty, good portion and well presented. Great service. With a free museum next door to boot. Would definitely visit again.

Disappointing. The Hollandaise sauce had split and yet the chef was happy to serve it. Coffee okay.

Pleasant, quiet cafe adjacent to the Kelham Island museum. I only visited for a coffee and a chat with a friend, but the staff were friendly and the coffee was excellent - best mocha I have had in Sheffield.

They dont take your money card only disgusted walked out

Appearances are very important here, and in many ways it’s beautiful. But things to work on are that the brunch special wouldn’t allow me to swap a cup of coffee for a cup of tea… not a major ask but apparently it’s not possible. The cappuccino I asked for was really just a coffee with milk, no foam at all and was served just warm. Service was a bit slow and forgetful but it’s an early Saturday morning, nobody is in a rush so can’t complain. The food was good but the bacon on the pancakes was very soft, only just cooked which for streaky bacon is a bit odd (though the bacon was clearly good quality) the eggs Benedict were good, I’m not convinced it’s actually sourdough toast but it was good. Overall it looked a lot better than it actually was, but it is beautiful. The cocktails were delicious! We waited a long time for them but once they arrived (halfway through our meal) they were thoroughly enjoyed.

Exciting menu, with a range of very different meals. The food was superb, bhaji wrap was very tasty. The super food salad looked amazing and didn't disappoint. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Price was very reasonable.

Delicious food, good portions and the staff are friendly. Recently moved to the area and we will definitely be going back!

A wonderful brunch at one of our faves , island. This cafe is located at kelham island museum and is the sister cafe to @themillownersarms and @gaardcoffee . It serves up lovely brunches and lunches in a lovley chilled environment. I chose eggs Benedict which was absolutely delicious , perfect eggs , good quality tasty ham, a few chunks of roasted sweet potato, and a delicious hollandaise sauce with a drizzle of what I think was a Garlicy pesto that really lifted the dish. My partner opted for a classic bacon butty which he says was spot on. We were super hungry so also opted for a side of hash browns each. These were really chunky crispy and delicious. We will be back ! Thanks Island.

Hidden gem in Kelham Island - stumbled across here when all the other cafes were full. It definitely deserves to be busier! Had the chorizo Croque Monsieur and it was very tasty, and my partner enjoyed eggs Benedict. Kind and helpful staff serving.

£3 for a cappuccino!?! Far too expensive

Stopped in here with the family whilst visiting the museum. Great food and great service. Something for all the family. The staff were great.

What an incredible experience I had at Island cafe/bar, our waitress Hollie was the best waitress I have ever had at any restaurant. Vegetarian sausage ciabatta sandwich was PENG, easily a 10/10 scran. Best poured pint of Guinness I have ever tasted. Would fully recommend this cafe to anyone I meet. Told 3 people about it at the bus stop on the way home.

Dropped in for lunch and had the vegan sausage roll with chips, salad and coleslaw. The whole meal was perfect - best chips I've ever had, the sausage roll was amazing (I'm not vegan but mainly eat vegetarian/vegan, occasional meat and this was better than any of those). Lovely friendly staff, dog friendly and lovely big space. And great tea too. If you're in Kelham Island come here for lunch.

A cafe with a very high CP value.

Really nice menu. The food was delicious. The deco was also very chic

I had the mushroom croque, a croque monsieur with mushroom instead of ham to make it meat free. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this tasted like angels dancing in my mouth. I enjoyed every single mouthful, I won't go on, but it was stunningly good. Well done chef 👏 👍 👌

Slow service, dolls house size toasted t cake, sorry, not for us.

A perfect place to catch up with friends, family or sit in the corner and enjoy a perfect brew. A great selection of food, drinks and amazing service. Definitely recommend

Ordered a cappuccino to go = £3. They were half way through making it when I attempted to handed over my £3 which was refused, card only here. So they wasted a cappuccino, there wasn't another customer in sight, they could have put that £3 in a charity box, ridiculous attitude.

Lovely laidback cafe, love the spicy chips they serve goes great with a cold beer.

Scrummy eggs Benedict. Loads of ham hock, and the pink onions were delish.

Great place for having food and drinks. Outdoor and indoor space available. Food quality has improved a lot from my previous visit. Great location

great cafe and bar awesome location. games room is a great space. had a party which the staff helped put together and couldn't have asked for more

Excellent coffee and breakfasts, helpful, friendly staff

Coffee, food, venue. All second to none!

Lovely venue for a Networking event, clear wheelchair access, though some tables not useable due to legs in the middle. Most tables are for two persons so can't easily rearrange for the chair. Disabled toilet is good space,though the mirror on back of door gives you that lovely view of yourself on the loo! Nice to see paper towels available. Food was delicious and well presented, sorry ate it before I took a photo!

Great cafe/bar. Friendly and professional. Our food, tea and coffee were first class. Had to wait a little while for food as it was very busy lunch time (half term) but still gets 5 stars.

Contemporary cafe situated in the kelham island museum. Much to our delight it's open even when the museum is closed! Food wise it's very reasonably priced and tasty. Personal favourite is the mushrooms on toast. Coffee as always is amazing. This place clearly isn't your general run of the mill musume cafe it's far superior. It's also linked with the millowners pub so if you fancy a pint of craft beer with brunch it's a possibility. Table tennis in the next room is also available.
