The Heart Space Cafe has truly earned a place in my regular rotation. Stepping inside, I was immediately struck by the spaciousness; ample seating and a relaxed atmosphere make it a welcome change from the often cramped cafes of Sheffield. It's a place where you can comfortably settle in, whether you're working, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a moment of solitude. However, the real star of the show is undoubtedly the coffee. I can confidently say it's one of the best cups I've had in the city. There's a distinct creaminess to the brew, a lingering aftertaste that's both rich and satisfying. It's the kind of coffee that leaves you wanting more, and I'm already planning my return visit just for another cup. Beyond the excellent coffee and comfortable environment, the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. They were welcoming, efficient, and genuinely seemed to care about ensuring a pleasant experience. Their warm demeanor added to the overall positive vibe of the cafe.

Got decent food and a good atmosphere. They have options of a meal deal or (a more expensive) hot meal. The staff is always friendly. The place gets busy around noon, and might be difficult to find a free table,
