Have you found that perfect little coffee shop that just
effortlessly ticks all the boxes? Be it you want a perfect place for a date, a
place where you can soak in a hipster-like ambiance or even just a casual
setting where you can indulge in heavenly donuts with your friends? I’m happy
to report that Sheffield is home to one of these coffee shops.
Situated on Division Street not very far from the Diamond,
the Steam Yard is a small coffee shop tucked in Aberdeen Court that is quite
easy to miss when going the first time. Believe me though, you wouldn’t want to
miss it any subsequent time after! Established in 2014, the Steam Yard is
another addition to Division Street’s quirky and alternative list of
establishments.
So how does one objectively review a coffee shop? Well I
don’t know how others would do it but I took a fellow foodie along with me so
that we could order a spread of items from the menu. I went with my standard order
of a Café Latte and pursued the menu for something unique to the coffee shop
itself. After a bit of advice from the cashier, we ordered two Peanut
Butter-Marshmallow S’mores donuts as well as a Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
Our food and drinks finally arrived and after a long (longer
than I am proud to admit) session of taking photos of our food from every
single angle imaginable, we finally tucked in. I have to admit though, when it
comes to food photos, nothing beats a good ol’ bird’s eye view. See for
yourself.
And wow, we were in heaven at this point. The s’mores donut
was absolutely delightful. The texture was just incredible with the combination
of the warm, gooey marshmallows and the actual donut itself. I normally gobble
my food down without really giving it a second’s thought but I genuinely felt
the need to eat this donut slowly so I could enjoy its texture and taste
longer. It really did hit the spot and the culmination of the peanut butter and
marshmallows lingered in my mouth. My friend offered similar reviews, raving about
his donut and grilled cheese sandwich. The coffee, while standard, definitely
hit the spot especially given how cold England can be.
I left the Steam Yard feeling very satisfied and I can’t
wait to go back and try their Kronuts which everyone seems to be raving about
on social media! So there you have it, a coffee shop not far from the
university where you could easily walk over to during a break! Hopefully over
the next few weeks I’ll be writing about some more student hotspots so stay
tuned.
