Steam Yard

You'll walk past Steam Yard a dozen times before you spot the entrance to Aberdeen Court, but that's half the charm of this warehouse conversion. Once you've navigated the courtyard, you'll find yourself in one of Sheffield's best coffee spots, where the industrial bones of the building work brilliantly with warm wood and exposed brick. The coffee here is treated with the respect it deserves – proper single origins and blends that change regularly, pulled by baristas who actually know what they're doing. The brunch menu is equally thoughtful, with dishes that go well beyond your standard café fare. It's the sort of place where you'll end up staying much longer than planned, whether you're catching up with mates or getting some work done on your laptop.
