marthasnan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Took my daughter here today for her 30th birthday 'after spa' extra treat. Very friendly staff but the food took ages to arrive ( we ordered a club sandwich & a salad nicoise - neither requiring major cooking skills). The sandwich was 'ok' but the salad was completely spoilt by (wait for it!!!) cold TINNED new potatoes. Definitely won't be going back:gag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziw Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Its just a typical chain cafe, all the cakes in the window look nice but dont actually taste that good/ definately are not hand made, also dont really like the coffee or service rather go to an independent cafe any day!

It is style over substance I agree. Which independent would you recommend in the city centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApplesPears Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not local I know but we had the cakes sold by that lady from Huddersfield off the Dragons Den and they were expensive but delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ange1312 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Tamper just up from frog and parrot make brilliant coffee, in fact i would go far as saying best in sheffield followed by bragazzi on abbeydale road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziw Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I would definately agree with what ange1312 says, also the rude shipyard on Abbeydale road, marmadukes in town behind the crucible, fusion organic cafe near sheffield hallam uni and blue moon vegan cafe near the cathedral are what come to mind as having nice food, coffee and cakes when I have visited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ange1312 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 There is already a thread somewhere on here about pattiserie Valerie. In my experience it seems very disorganised, waiting for a long time to be seated, for your order to be taken, food to arrive, getting the bill....everything come to think of it. The cakes look amazing but I always find them a bit tasteless and the coffee is just ok, pricey too. I wouldn't recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamper for me next time am in town then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennis20 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Took us ages to be seated but good atmosphere. Cakes look delicious, however a little disappointed with my cheesecake as not as tasty as my eyes were telling me it would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longiesta Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 In town, has to be Tamper, nothing else comes close. Although its popularity means I'm not guaranteed a seat these days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
