Rose Garden Cafe in Sheffield

Was lovely to see the cafe looking clean and smart staff friendly, I've just got one issue the prices , wow £4 for a slice of cake, £3 for a rock hard ginger bread face , I spent £35 in there today with having 4 grandchildren with me just on 3 gingerbread biscuits and drinks, the size portions are too big and too pricey , I think personally they should be smaller portions for kiddies then prices might be cheaper to help larger families

Food is tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Clean and tidy. All condiments and cutlery fully stocked. 10 out of 10.

The food was great , and the service from the younger woman was impeccable . The older lady not so much her attitude was awful extremely rude and abrupt. On asking if they had any of the little milk tubs for the coffee she rudely replied no and then I asked if I could potentially have a little bit more in my coffee and she responded what you want more milk in it , then a young lady asked about toilets and the response she got even worse rating would have been lower if the younger lady hadn’t made it bareable

We called into Graves Park today 23/12/22, although the weather was unpleasant it was a change to be outside after the snow and ice, after our walk we ventured up to refresh ourselves at the cafe only to be disappointed as it was closed even though signage said open till 3pm, come on please let us have a drink.

I am so sad this lovely place has now closed , it was just perfect for a nice coffee and lunch after a walk around the park, I really hope they can preserve this place and re open .

Great food at good prices. Ample foods to choose from. Very clean and ample seating, inside and out. Pleasant views to the rose garden and across the park.

Friendly staff great food at reasonable prices Tables cleaned as soon as people left Food arriving quickly and tasted great Would highly recommend

I do wonder how they got there 5 star review for hygiene here. Been here several times over the years with my kids, and it's never felt, or looked that clean to me. A case in point was this week, we live the other side of Sheffield, but my youngest wanted to see the revamped Animal Park. After we came out, it was a bit windy so decided a sit down was in order. 2 tables available, 1 covered in plates and mugs, the other, had a child's high sest absolutely caked in food, and the famously minging floor tiles were covered in food dropped by the previous occupants. Now this table was 2 feet away from the cleaning station, and the floor strewn with food was clearly visible to the member of staff stood by the cleaning station, after a while she shifted the high chair and gave it a quick wipe, but didn't even attempt to brush up the food or anything. It sat there all the time we drank our drinks. Very off-putting. And the other very irritating thing, they put milk in with the teabag! Who in Sheffield does this?! Also, don't look at the cover photo, the interior is dressed up for an occasion, if they showed a picture taken at lunchtime with screaming kids, muddy dogs, crockery filled tables and food strewn floors I doubt they would be queuing to get in.

Took a long time to get served but that can't be helped. Normally is busy anyway with a play area inside and tables and chairs to sit inside. Reasonably priced though.

Coffee is great, staff are lovely and the cakes/food is also top notch. The main thing which lets it down is the speed of service. We were stood in a queue for 20 minutes (nearly gave up but I needed one of their cookies!) and even when a staff member came to tell us at 15:45 after 15 minutes of queueing that they were closing shortly at 4pm (which annoyed us as we had been waiting for 15 already and had arrived in plenty of time!) she noticed the long queue yet did not jump on behind the counter to lend a hand to the staff. Not her fault I understand, she was sorting the tables and chairs out but even if she went down the line to grab a couple of orders or take some payments that could have sped things up.

Rose Garden Cafe.... I couldn't tell you the hours I spent in here as a kid, 3 miles from my house, most weekends or days at a loose end were spent here, a large green space along with a farm - free to visit...its a staple for any sheffielder. You are not able to book a table and I am not sure if this is just because of the pandemic, but I was out for the day, the sun was shining and I headed out for a walk around Graves Park, I popped in for breakfast in the roses. The breakfast menu is to be expected, BEST, toast, etc. I went for a BEST and a coffee.... A best that required cutlery....that's a good sign....packed with good quality produce. Although the food is a little basic and more of a greasy spoon/cafe style I cannot fault it. Good quality, simple food but I found if I was not using the EOTHO scheme the prices are a little high for what you get. The staff were welcoming and they had very good health and safety precautions in place.

Absolutely appalling experience in beautiful Graves Park in Sheffield. The rudest of servers you can imagine. Clearly didn't want our custom as it was 3.15 and they closed at 4pm. We ate cake and drank awful coffee which was expensive. Rudely told to return the tray which she had spilled coffee all over. Returned tray to be refused entry into the toilet as ..."it's closed now" These people are a disgrace to the hospitality in industry and and a blot on a beautiful park. Bring your own food unless you want your experience ruines

After lockdown we called in for a coffee and sausage rolls how the hell can they charge £2 for a sausage roll.we used to call in every other day while walking the dog not anymore wouldn’t mind but the place is disgustingly filthy.Think it’s ready for a new lease and tenant.People who pay those prices must have money to burn.I noticed dog chews at 25 pence each They are a pound for 50.

I visited recently with my 5 month old who was in his pushchair. It was tricky to find a table suitable for us. As I needed somewhere for the pushchair to go that wouldn't be in the way of others. I wasn't aware it was cash only and didn't see any prior notices informing me of this upon entering. I had to leave the park to find a cash point and return some time later. Not ideal and it should be clearly stated that it is cash only.

I have visited the Rose Garden Cafe since 1969! I often go when walking my greyhound and with the greyhound walking group we stop for a break,when we're all made welcome, dogs and people! The food is varied and suits all tastes, I'm sure. This time I had a sandwich coffee and a gingerbread man for the dog!

Had a Lovely pumpkin spiced latte and a great price! Also the panini's are AmAzInG, comes with chips and sald, could definitely tell they were homemade!

I visit this cafe most weeks with my grandson (2). Love the place, staff very friendly, food very good.Caters for small children with an indoor play area, dogs also welcome. Can get busy at times as everyone seems to arrive at once, ramblers etc, we have never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table and service is reliable & prompt. I'm very surprised at some of the negative comments on here and in my experience I would strongly disagree

Absolutely appalling service in a filthy restaurant serving overpriced food, badly cooked, by ignorant couldn’t care less staff. Avoid at all costs

What can I say? The cafe was over run and filthy with food spilt everywhere. The staff were extremely rude, especially the lady with the blue hair. She was clearly very stressed with how busy it was but didn't need to take it out on...

This place was ram packed on a Wednesday in February half term. On a freezing windy day it was the must go place in the park. Queues went out the door! But the staff on The tills did not stop smiling and serving the whole...

After being sick and tired of having to sit outside at places with my dog and elderly father in the winter time, I've found somewhere that allows (well behaved) dogs inside, good selection of drinks and snacks as well as a good sized menu for...

It’s been a while since this place had a lick of paint and you can tell: inside and out. It is in need of a good clean and upgrade. But the food is good and fairly priced.

Staff always seem freindly and drinks and snacks nice and not too dear. Place is depressing tho, carpets smell and stick to your feet in places. Drab decor and grim lighting. Could be the best park cafe in Sheffield with a bit of thought. J.

Loved the simplicity of this place alongside one of the best playgrounds in Sheffield. A beautiful building catering cheerfully for children of all ages

Ordered a flat white and americano with hot milk. The member of staff went off to prepare the drinks. Noticed that she appeared to be filling cups up with water from boiler rather than using coffee machine. Queried this and asked if it was instant...

Lovey cafe, and allow dogs in when not too busy. You can grab a coffee and the food is nice. The toasties are huge !

Chilli should have sauce and this wasn’t the case on my visit. Very dry on my potato, has to be said. The chips, however were consistent thoughout, chunky and funky and the prices are reasonable too. Although the barista took my gfs card and tapped...

Coffee was good but cafe itself is barn like with tired furnishings and too loud music playing constantly. Has potential but not achieving at present. Popular with young mums

We had a lovely walk around the park and farm then stopped here for a warm and lite bite. The mushroom soup was excellent, the best I've had and I later found out it was homemade and gluten free. Kids happy with panini and chips...

In desperate need of refurbishment. It has a very dark dismal atmosphere and the cakes are always dry and stale and obviously have been on display for some time. The hot drinks are of poor quality too.

I have been going to this cafe for years and although the food is reasonable for a park cafe, the place could go with a lick of paint and some new flooring as the carpet is old and grotty. I realise this cafe is leased...

We took our dog for a long walk in the park and called for a coffee we sat outside u can't go far wrong on nice summer day

Nice place to visit. Graves park has big grounds with Graves animal farm free to walk round (paid parking max £2.50) Cafe spacious good prices for very nice food. Recommend

Really wanted to like it here but was quite disappointed - coffees weren't that good, quite watery & bitter, which isn't how Lattes should be. We ordered a sausage roll & a panini which was just ok - nothing special. I was expecting the whole...

Visited the cafe a few times in recent months now that it's become dog friendly. The cafe looks cleaner than before. The food is good value for money but I would like to see some vegan options. The children's play area is a good idea...

First time visit this Saturday. The place was rammed. Bacon well cooked just the way I like it. A must visit for a cuppa after a walk around the park.

It is a lovely cafe, especially on a sunny day overlooking the whole of Graves Park. However, I was a little saddened by the lack of choices for vegans available. They only had a little milk for a tea. The only choices were jacket with...

excerlent cafe staff are great cafe is dog freindly when not busy also do gluten free cakes can get busy but has seating outside

Maybe to be expected in busy park cafe but floors dotted with food. Basic caf and tea 1.20 but decaff 1.40. Don't like that

The waitress who served me has too much attitude for my liking I do not appreciate being scolded for not hearing her shout my order number out in a very loud cafe. Why don't you use a better system e.g use table numbers so you...

This cafe is situated in Graves Park with a view of the rose garden. We came here on a Saturday just after the school holidays started. It was understandably busy and there was a sign saying there would be a half-hour wait for hot food....
