We (at Cocoa) are having a Mother of all Afternoon teas in the Cocoa lounge and Boudoir. We have an offer of tasty treats & pot of tea to share or there is the usual cakes, truffles and hot chocolates to treat your Mum. Open from 11-6, wheelchair access round the back (just let us know and we can sort it out). xx

we (Cocoa) sell Chocolate fountain chocolate, it's got extra cocoa butter in so you don't have to add any oil. It's available in milk, white and dark chocolate and comes in tiny buttons so it melts really easily. Our shop is 462 Ecclesall Road. Hope this helps!

This place is amazing, great value for money, the staff are all really welcoming and the food tastes sooooo good! I had the green banana curry...delicious! Will definitely go back.

We sell loads of dark chocolate! We have bars but if you want couverture it's cheaper for bulk & we have plenty from 70% +. Thank you to everyone for mentioning us

I would just like to recommend Buca on Abbeydale Road, it's the restaurant to Braggazzi's cafe. We went for our (mine and Kate's) birthday and we were so impressed with everything. The decor is really homely, all the staff are lovely and make you feel incredibly welcome. It's very small so it really feels like you have gone to a friends house for dinner and they don't rush you so you feel like you can really take your time. The food was delicious, really interesting and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back and tell everyone to go too

We are still alive!!! Don't panic we are going nowhere xx

Hello all, Just a note to say we went to see the new fruit and vege shop on Sharrowvale and we highly recommend! It's a beautiful shop with a great selection & the fruit and vege is really cheap as well as being really good quality. Another reason to shop local. The shop is also open later on Tuesday and Thursdays (I think) so no excuse not to pop in after work.

If you are a graduate of Sheffield Hallam it is worth looking at the Hatchery for advice and possible funding

Hello Sheffield!!! There will be a new knitting club starting on the 17th January, to continue every Thursday evening from 7.30-10pm. It will be held in the Cocoa lounge, 462 Ecclesall Road. Everyone is welcome to come and go when they please and we don't expect everyone to know how to knit. We are all willing to help each other out and lend a needle or two!!! It is a chance to try something new, be creative, make some friends and have a cup of tea! Hope to see you there love Anne and Kate of Cocoa

Thank you so much for recommending us, your words were very touching! It was a pleasure to have all you lovely hens clucking in the lounge and hope you come again. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your night and had lots of giggles at the comedy club! Would be fab to see you all again! Love Annie & Kate x xx

It's too late now but for future reference...Cocoa (the chocolate shop on Ecclesall Road) are going to start holding Mad hatter's Tea Parties for children and Chocolate tasting for adults in Cocoa's newly opened tea lounge. The Tea party will follow along the theme of Alice in Wonderland and involve lots of fun activities with cakes, tea, chocolate, games, competitions and more fun!!!!!! We have plenty of ideas but you are welcome to suggest whatever you want. Just something to think about, beats bowling any day!
