Marmadukes Cafe Deli in Sheffield

We stop for little sweet break and we enjoyed their pastries, for once not too much sweet, and their drink. We like the homemade food, relax and cosy decorations

The quality is good. But 2 poached eggs with one piece of sourdough toast for £9 is hard to justify.

I visited with a friend, but unfortunately, the food was overpriced, and our server was quite unfriendly, which took away from the overall experience.

I recently visited Marmadukes Café with my partner, and it was an absolute delight. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and porridge, and both dishes were incredibly delicious. The Eggs Benedict had perfectly poached eggs with a creamy hollandaise sauce, and the porridge was rich, comforting, and full of flavour. The presentation of the food was beautiful—very clean and aesthetic, adding to the overall experience. The café itself has a cosy and relaxing atmosphere with stylish decor that makes you feel instantly at home. Whether you're looking for a casual breakfast or a quiet spot to unwind, Marmadukes is definitely worth a visit! We'll certainly be returning soon.

The deli sandwich is insanely good and it could be the best sandwich I’ve ever had (ham and cheddar today with a sauce/dressing)

Lovely place with a great atmosphere, staff were lovely and very attentive and food and drink were great! Also a fab location next to the church, very pretty view.

Like it very much. Although I was just passing by, I was attracted by the store sign at first and ordered a glass of Yorkshire Tea and a Deli sandwich, both of which were very good. I particularly recommend the Deli sandwich meat, which is really delicious. It is almost the best sandwich I have ever eaten in the UK. I think the sauce and seasoning are particularly good. Worth coming again.

Quality... Expensive but you get what you pay for. Top tier coffee, lovely breakfast, awesome cake. Dog friendly

Not much room for people in wheelchairs need more comfable seats downstairs and tables are also small bit expensive really for what you get but aways busy just hoe your paying your staff more than mim wage the money your making

Used to love this place but it looks like standards have slipped during my last couple of visits. Staff does not seem to care. Often just talking amongst themselves and not as attentive as they used to be. Food is ok but sadly, there are other brunch spots that are better.

One of my favourite spots for dining on my own. Great bakery items. Perhaps too many egg dishes on the menu at the moment but the menu does change

Average at best. Ordered poached eggs on toast and a sausage sandwich. The poached eggs were over poached (probably because they were so small) and barely a scraping of spread on the toast made the meal very dry. Apparently the sausage sandwich was OK (nothing to write home about) but the coffee was very nice.

Rip Off - Overpriced Bacon sandwich- frazzled tiny amount of bacon Small Fry up £18+ Soft Drink £5.50 Toasted tea cake £5.50

Edit: Review adjusted based on owner response. Thanks for clarifying about the baked goods - I have adjusted my overall review accordingly. Slow service. Too slow. Front of house is just a bunch of flappy birds with no direction. Their take out cold coffee cups are a liability - the lids are so flimsy I think I spilt a third of my coffee by the time I got back to the office! Decent food and pastries made on premises so definitely worth a try!

I only really come here for coffee but it’s the best coffee in Sheffield and I’ve been to so many

Wow what a gorgeous breakfast we had. Delicious flavours and well thought out menu. Coffee was amazing too

The food is amazing! The flavours tasted during eating avocado on toast has never been experienced before and I've eaten in many places. Staff were attentive and helpful. The decor was simply gorgeous and felt right at home here. Menu is so full and found it hard to decide what I wanted

Came for breakfast and was not disappointed! A little pricey but otherwise decent.

I never write reviews but felt the need after one of the most overpriced bland meal I’ve ever had. Portion sizes are weak! The only thing keeping this from no stars are the friendly staff. Otherwise avoid.

The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere had a cozy charm that initially drew me in. Unfortunately, the experience took a turn for the worse. The prices were outrageously high for what felt like a meager offering—a portion so minuscule it barely qualified as a snack. The flavors were almost nonexistent, leaving me unsatisfied and frustrated. It was such a letdown that I had to leave in search of a proper meal elsewhere. Thankfully, I’ve found redemption at South Street Kitchen, where I'm now indulging in a luscious, piping-hot chocolate that's hitting all the right notes. Big up Tesco for the £3 meal deal instead of a £90 waste of time.

Matcha here is amazing. Server was cute.

Highly inadequate. Was informed they run out of beans for full English and they are going to be substituted with extra tomatoes and mushrooms. God bless otherwise instead of half a tomato I would have gotten a quarter. Waited 50 minutes for the food and then another 5 for cutlery. No wonder they ask to pay after placing the order otherwise people would start leaving frustrated. And all that for only 18£.

Really lovely little quaint cafe in Sheffield city centre. I had a latte coffee and it was very nice. The outside benches are a little uncomfortable - but I won't hold that against them!

Great coffee! Great food. Friendly staff. Brilliant baby changing facilities! Not loads of space for prams inside but if the weather is good there’s space outside. Booking is recommended.

The staff is extremely friendly and the food tastes really fresh and balanced.

Nice place for coffee and cake whilst in town. They do other food as well.

If you're looking to get completely and utterly addicted to a cafe, look no further. Weak coffee? Go elsewhere. Unique and seasonal flavours? Stay put. Marmadukes is hipster-galore but chic and friendly with both individual and communal seating depending on how busy they are. Their coffee cake and seasonal granola trumped their rhubarb french toast by being absolutely sensational, with the maple bacon being the perfect salty accompaniment.

If I could give this place 6 stars I definitely would . Visited with my friend on our trip to Sheffield . We booked online and arrived a little before our booked time . The place was quite busy to say it was a Wednesday lunch time but it was no problem and we were offered a choice of indoor or outdoor seating . We chose to sit outdoors as it was a lovely day. Within seconds the waitress was there bringing water in a quirky jug and glasses. We chose the deli sandwich of the day which was smoked salmon and cream cheese with dill and cucumber on a seeded sourdough roll. It came with a lovely couscous side salad. I can honestly say I’ve never enjoyed a “sandwich “ as much as I enjoyed this one. It was perfect. I also had a chai latte which was amazing . The waitress was clearly busy but she still managed to have a chat with us before we left and made us feel like valued customers. (Didn’t get her name unfortunately) . She really made our visit an enjoyable one . Thank you Marmadukes . We will definitely visit again next time we come to Sheffield.

Delicious food and coffee. Friendly helpful staff.

Lovely coffee but at £14 for a sandwich I'm sad to say I'm priced out of this place as a lunch destination and will be heading elsewhere from now on. Now Cambridge street is open there are more interesting and reasonably priced options in the area.

Waited 30 mins for someone to take our order. Then was told there was a 30 min wait for coffee(?!). We told them that meant we didn’t have time to order anymore, so we were booted out to make room for a ‘queue which was out of the door’ which was non existent. There were loads of free tables. Crap.

Fantastic food. Had the smashed avocado on toast . There were a lot of other elements that made it fantastic. The staff were very helpful.

Could only pop in to get a takeaway, but this place came up recommended when I googled coffee in Sheffield. Good coffee and always cool when places stock pea milk - really nice alternative!! Will hopefully come back for a sit-in again someday

We’ve been here many times but our latest visit yesterday was expensive and awful. We had a bacon on cornbread sandwich which was so crumbly you would’ve needed a spoon, bacon was poor quality. I had a tiny spicy type of roll and a plate full of dried up slaw (awful). We mentioned the bread and were told it’s the style of it but it wasn’t like that last time. The peppermint was also tasteless. Extremely expensive; we won’t be visiting again.

Amazing!! We had a fantastic breakfast and sample the new French toast on the menu! We just had to take some pastries away with us too which were delicious!! Lovely coffee too!

I got great food, tho a friend told me it depends on what you get. Service was much quicker than expected and even tho the prices can be seen as high it's fairly average for Sheffield. The place itself is really cool because it feels both retro and modern at the same time.

A super friendly welcome awaits, followed by good food and even better coffee.

Food was very tasty. Sadly it was marred by the price. £15.5 for eggs Benedict. Breakfast for two came to £38. Sadly the cost outweighed the taste of the food. Not sure you can get away with charging such prices

There are more customers on weekends, so it takes about 20 minutes to get a seat. Delicious lunch, friendly waiters.

Very nicely located, it's nice to sit outside. Central but quiet. Inside it goes like this. Food very good, but not cheap either. Very good quality and beautifully prepared. Coffee was great. However, different. One day, excellent, the next day very good, but not as good as the day before.

The veggie breakfast was delicious! Iced Latte was perfect with the brown sugar syrup and the hand brew was excellent. All over great service and the outdoor seating was so fun

This is such a great place. I love the house and the food is so fresh and comes in surprising combos. They are super friendly and we went there twice when visiting Sheffield. I can highly recommend it!!!

Marmadukes is a quirky cafe. Always busy and the food is good. But it's also slightly expensive too. Worth a visit but save up first. We went for a full breakfast but it was too much to us to pay, so settled for toast and a drink.

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. We had the breakfast and it was amazing. Thanks 😊

A beautiful and quiet coffee shop, close to the center on Norfolk Street. Its hot drinks are delicious. It has drops and sweets, and you often won't find cake or sweets after three o'clock.

We visited on a Sunday morning, for coffee and pastries. It was quiet when we arrived (about 10am), but got busier. The coffee was lovely and the pastries were equally as tasty. Would definitely visit again.

Absolutely excellent little brunch place in the heart of the old city with a very cool bohemian vibe. I had Eggs Royale and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re able to sit in the room upstairs overlooking Norfolk Street, it’s worth doing for the people watching. Will be back!

Outstanding venue had the perfect catch up, staff amazing, cakes even better xx

Lovely café with amazing coffee and great food. Has a really chilled out vibe.

Left feeling ripped-off! We bought two portions of the salad to take out. I have to say that it was delicious but we were very unimpressed by the size of the portions. I thought the boxes felt light but when we opened them there was literally one inch of salad in the bottom of a small cardboard box. To compound our disappointment, I didn't have any potatoes and my wife didn't have any Cauliflower which kind of undermines its description! Either the portions should be more generous or the prices should be lowered but I won't be rushing back until something changes.

had the eggs royale and an espresso, neither could be improved, absolutely perfect. lovely staff as well.

My friends and I had a lovely breakfast here. We all agreed that the food was absolutely delicious. You could tell that good quality ingredients had been used and everything was cooked to perfection. The waitress who served us was very friendly and happy. Nothing was too much trouble for her, even when one of my friends wanted a dish from the menu to be slightly altered to suit her taste. We would definitely eat here again.

The best! Good coffee and amazing food. My friend works with the guy who made the menu here, he’s just genius.

A very poor experience!! A salad ordered was basically shredded cabbage. They had to be reminded that cashew nuts were missing so a very small pot was added, with the nuts all stuck together! This cost £12 and Small cafe latte - on the cold side - added to the total cost (£15.70) I shall never recommend this cafe again, having booked for a large group !!

Four of us visited on a Sunday. Excellent service, coffee and cakes. Very centrally located. We were all very happy but I can imagine it gets very busy on weekdays.

I'm very pleased to choose this place for breakfast. The Full English Breakfast here was another level, a festival of flavours and proper bread. The atmosphere was great and I feel like at home. Overall the food quality compared to prices is reasonable. Another top place where I can truly recommend.

My wife and I visited here before a matinee at the Crucible. There is no provision for wheelchair access, so we sat outside. Ordered 2 coffees and a Halloumi Sandwich (fried halloumi, tomato & pomegranate salsa, hummus, fresh herbs, brioche bun, w seasonal slaw), to share for £20.30. The coffees came first, they were very small. When the food eventually came out, I was shocked at the size of the portion. It wasn’t a sandwich, it was a rather burnt bun and the portion of side salad was so small, it was almost immaterial. Such a shame as this place promised lots but delivered a very average lunch at a very expensive cost. I’m from London, where you could get something much tastier and more reasonable.

Brilliant service cool minimal surroundings that are obviously the vision of real people that care about what they are offering coffee a perfection and breakfast a delight. Very welcome on a windswept mid morning!

Food and coffee good but pricey. Staff who touch customers’ dogs must be told to wash their hands immediately afterwards, or better still not touch them in the first place.

One of the nicest places in Sheffield, and I really that they always have a different menu (seasonal ones). Very good food. Vegetarian options could be improved.

Delicious place for an organic and wholesome breakfast and incredible coffee

Lovely little breakfast/brunch spot. Can't wait to visit again

What a little gem of a place. Food is great, service is so good. Such pleasant staff. Prices very reasonable. If I get back to Sheffield I'll make a beeline for Marmadukes.

Delicious and innovative brunch menu. Quality ingredients. Great coffee!

The veggie breakfast here is amazing! And great coffee! Always come here when I’m in Sheffield.

Really nice place for brunch, food was delicious.

Excellent brunch and very warm welcome

What a charming place! The service was crazily fast and it was nearly at capacity despite it being an early Saturday morning, this cafe is very popular (and it was clear why). Had a lovely bowl of danish porridge - sounds simple but the sign of a good cafe is one that can make something so simple so delicious. Coffee was wonderful and even things like the crockery and interior were beautiful, it was true rustic elegance. Next time we're in Sheffield we will be back 💜

Visited with my daughter for brunch. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted with a smile and a friendly welcome and shown to a table on one of the upper floors without any waiting. It's a delightful café in an old building with quirky decor that fits it perfectly. We both had the Eggs Royale with smoked salmon; service was quick, it was beautifully presented and more importantly absolutely delicious 😋

Absolutely unbelievable service from a guy very knowledgeable very friendly welcome from all staff could see into the kitchen and the chefs at work exquisite food amazing service produce wow wow wow ❤️

The café is quaint and has a beauitful rustic interior with a lovely view of the Cathedral. The staff are so accommodating and the menu has many delicious options. I would recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable breakfast/ lunch in Sheffield.

I will always go to Marmaduke's when I'm in Sheffield. Staff are welcoming and will ensure you are looked after. Great coffee, bakes and food.

Lovely place for brunch. The staff were great and the service was quick. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

One of the best deli's. Food is amazing

Delicious food and coffee. Happy and warm atmosphere

Fab food, great, helpful staff. Will be back!!

The food was delicious but orange juice is really sour, I will not recommend it.

A definite favourite every time I visit Sheffield. The food is outstanding and the service is top quality. The pastry selection is fantastic as well. The server was also very helpful and knowledgable when dealing with dietary restrictions for our table.

Really lovely brunch here today. The food was delicious and it was appreciated that I got a little pot to put my tea bag in - most places don't think of this. My only slight issue was the acoustics where we were seated. Conversations were echoey and very loud but that was only a minor thing.

Great lunch - quick and friendly service and excellent food - we had sandwiches and burgers and everyone was happy.

Extremely tasty food delightful service and good atmosphere. Great range of dietary options and food sourced from local sustainable growers. Only complaint is tables are quite small but we had enough space.

On the good side, food is lovely and staff were lovely. Seating a bit on the tight side and awkwardly sat next to strangers on the same table. Like a lot of cafes nowadays it is not very child friendly. Drinks served for a toddler in a heavy glass cup with impractical straw.

Very good food. Recommend French toast and halloumi sandwich. Good coffee and atmosphere.

Went in for breakfast. Service was extremely friendly and the food was wonderful. Bought a couple of cakes on the way out and they were lovely. Would highly recommend

Went in for breakfast the service was friendly and the food was great. Bought a couple of cakes on leaving and they were good.

Very friendly staff. Lovely coffee and the halloumi was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be coming back.

Great coffee and friendly staff

Great breakfast and super dog friendly

Good food well presented & good service, be sure to make a reservation otherwise be prepared to queue or miss out. One minor moan was that ‘breakfast’ items finish at 12 although there is an all day menu, missed out on a nice vegan breakfast because of this. Could do with that on the all day menu or an additional vegan product.

I was in a video meeting with my headphones on and staff were so respectful. The ice latte was delicious too!

Didn’t serve us for 20 minutes!

Lovely place must go again, when the kitchen hasn't closed!

The food all looked absolutely amazing here, it was really hard to make a choice. Fresh baked goods, sandwiches, and salads every day. They have a meat and vegetarian sandwich on offer that varies day by day as well as a menu. Really enjoyed my pickled apple, Brie, and tomato relish sourdough roll today. Coffee is also great here. Definitely worth popping in either for a sit down or a take away.

Excellent and VERY dog friendly. Brunch sandwiches were great. Thanks.

Cute little cafe with homemade bread and good food. A little pricey but for the odd coffee and sandwich it's brilliant food and a nice atmosphere. I sat outside and had a wonderful time.

Exceptional service, the waiter was so friendly! Great sweet and savoury breakfast options, I went for the porridge which was delicious!

The staff knew we had children with us as we asked if they had a children's menu. After asking twice where our food was, it arrived after a one hour wait. We were all very hungry, and am sure the food was ok, but after such a long wait and we really could have eaten anything. Not acceptable. The person in charge said they had been inundated and didn't expect so many people. It was lunchtime, there were no queues and spaces at tables. The party next to us were fed up with waiting too, but what can you do when you've already paid. None of our food had to be cooked, so hard to imagine what was going wrong in the kitchen.

Staff offered me a free complimentary coffee while I was at work this afternoon, it must be said that their coffee was delectable and the service and staff were very friendly and happy to help, the atmosphere is cosy. Thank you kind people of marmadukes

Amazing place! Food to die for, menu has mouthwatering options, tram is extremely accommodating, accepting very difficult and challenging orders with a genuine smile on their faces. This my new favourite place in Sheffield! Thank you to whole team for being so helpful with my AIP diet restrictions and ideas how to feed me☺️

ماانصح في هذا المكان تجربتي سيئه جدا تعاملهم سيء جدا
