After a long week at work, there’s nothing better than having a lazy start to a Sunday morning. A long lie-in and a vibe of pure relaxation. With that in mind, you don’t want to make your own breakfast. Lazy Sundays are all about treating yourself, and when it comes to tasty brunch, Sheffield’s got you covered.

Sheffield’s recent boom of independent businesses has created a culture of foodie hotspots that you’ve got to try. Let’s take a look at some of the best places for brunch in Sheffield, where you can start your Sunday off the right way.

Marmadukes

A true Sheffield classic, Marmadukes first opened its original cafe in 2012, in a stunning 19th-century townhouse. Its warm and charming interior makes it the perfect place to stop if you’re looking to relax with a high-quality speciality coffee and homemade bakes. Their sourdough is particularly popular, handcrafted and delivered fresh from their bakery 7 days a week. 

Only using the very best produce and ingredients, every breakfast, brunch, and lunch dish is prepared with passion and care. Located on Norfolk Row in the heart of the city centre, if you’re taking a leisurely weekend stroll across the cobblestone street, be sure to pop in to Marmadukes.

The Grind Cafe

The Grind Cafe is an award-winning boutique cafe and bar, specialising in expertly brewed coffee, fresh baked treats prepared on-site, and carefully crafted cocktails. If a boozy Sunday brunch is your thing, you’re definitely in the right place. 

Using the finest locally sourced ingredients, the team pride themselves on their delicious dishes that taste even better than they look (and they look really good!). Situated in the hustle and bustle of Kelham Island, you can escape the busy streets for a quiet place to recharge ahead of a new week.

Hidden Gem

As the name suggests, Hidden Gem is a quaint find, set back from Ringinglow Road. A bit further away from the city centre, it’s a great place for a relaxed neighbourhood brunch experience. You can call in for a coffee and a cheeky slice of cake. Or if you want a more substantial brunch and not just a sweet treat, their full English breakfast is always a hit. 

They also have a selection of light bites and tasty specials, so you’re always sure to find something on the menu, no matter what you fancy or how hungry you’re feeling.

The Rhubarb Shed

Housed in a converted barn, the Rhubarb Shed is, and its location on the Manor Green site is steeped in Sheffield history. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door, and a wide range of brunch dishes for you to choose from.

From lighter options like fresh ciabattas and salads to mouthwatering gourmet burgers and plenty of specials, you can Sunday brunch how you want to. There are also delicious vegan and gluten-free options to suit any dietary requirements, and don’t skip out on their beautiful cakes. Calories don’t count on lazy Sunday.

Gaard Coffee Hide

A truly unique coffee shop, Gaard is a small and cosy vegan/vegetarian spot, tucked away on Burton Road. They specialise in the finest vegan pastries, all freshly made in-house, speciality roasted coffee, loose leaf and bagged teas, and vegan shakes. 

If you’re looking for a lighter brunch option that still feels like a Sunday treat, Gaard is a must-visit Sheffield coffee shop. It’s also dog-friendly, so when you’re enjoying a peaceful weekend walk with your four-legged friend, be sure to pop by for a quick pit stop.

Made By Jonty

Proudly serving the people of Sheffield for 10 years and showing no signs of slowing down, Made By Jonty is a lovely cafe, located on Sharrowvale Road. Their brunch menu features classic dishes like the breakfast burrito and regularly updated specials using seasonal ingredients. So there’s always something new to try.

As a place that specialises in all-day brunch, the Made By Jonty team knows their stuff. Even creating their own house blend coffee beans for visitors to purchase and enjoy at home.
